She knew this place, she had been here before. Even when it was light out like this, but she didn't care, she had no illusion, didn't bother to try. She was wandering again, aimlessly. Ryu'Rage had no where to go really, she couldn't find anyone she was looking for. Mrost was...somewhere, and she had no home. But this place, this place was said to be safe, where Jini and Siltim were. Were the little bundle of green fur was as well.
Od, yes, that was his name.
Rage sighed and padded on a little further, eyes closed, her red scarf over her eyes now. The memories, the images, they've been worse lately. They were hurting her internally, making her hurt on the outside. She had barely slept the last few nights, and was tired.She just needed somewhere safe to be for a little while. This was safe supposedly.
The sun beat down warming her back, until she flopped into the long grass blades by some brush. Here she could be hidden, safe...hopefully. But she was still alone.

Od had wandered around that tree for days, the tree with the flower and the butterflies. The flower had wilted now and the butterflies....were gone. He sighed and whined.
"They gone....."
He spoke..it was rare for the cub to speak, he never spoke to anyone not even his family. Occassionally he would slip, but he would recover his facade afterwards. He didn't feel the need to talk really, it just wasn't in him. He didn't learn the proper way to speak so when he did it was fragments. Embarassed, he just stopped talking....
Looking around he remembered Rage....that weird winged lion. Was she still around? He got up and wandered through the grass, following a strange scent, it was not earthy or musky. It wasn't sweet, it wasn't foul....but it smelt familiar. His head peaked out and there she was, that large black creature. Luckily her back was turned. Odhrán crouched low and circled to her front.
"Myru...."

Rage was lost in thought, mind swirling of what she could do, what she should've done. She knew she shouldn't dwell on the past, what couldn't be changed, but she wanted it to be different wanted everything to be different. Nothing was welcoming for her, she couldn't smile, it pained her to cry, she was always falling apart.
She flicked her tail, sighed, sort of welcoming the darkness her scarf made over her eyes, the dark was different, here she could hide, except her markings and wings would forever be bright. Then she heard something, she paid no mind, she was hurting anyone, though she wondered who or what approached.
Then she heard a voice, more like a purr sort of noise. She raised a paw to push her scarf up off of one of her silver eyes, and there he was, the little round ball of green fur she had seen before. So he was still around here, she offered him a faint smile, could not offer any more unfortunately, and tried to figure out if that was a hello or something else.
"Hello Od...are you good?"

Od purred and nuzzled against her muzzle before disappearing behind her shoulders only to reappear again upon it.
"Myru....Mrage, Mrud. Mryou?"
He murred, like slurring purrs and vocals together. What did he wanted to say again? It seemed like everything started with either a "Mmrrr" or a "Mee-rrrr" with this one. He smiled and nipped her shoulder, starting to chew on her fur again, licking, chewing, licking, chewing. Od was a strange cub, his nickname made sense "Od(d)".
Rage seemed a little tired, wonder why? The little green cub, hopped off of her shoulder, walking down her back-side and hopped off to come back to her muzzle. Lying down, he looked up to her and smiled, a purr deep in his body seemed to make his fur bristle from time to time.
"Alright?"

Rage felt as he climbed all over her, even started...chewing on her? At least it was her hair, that was one thing she could hide her face behind sometimes. She seemed to get how Od spoke after he continued. Just a purr like noise added onto the beginning of words, perhaps a cub things to do, or he couldn't talk quite fully yet since the last time.
But it seemed he just did if for fun.
The he spoke clearly, and she took the scarf from her eyes, wrapped it around her leg again, and peered down at him. He seemed so innocent, she didn't want to fill his tiny little head with things about her past that hurt her, even if he was just trying to help.
"I'm just, tired Od..." she had no real place to go and sleep, but she didn't want him thinking she had no home at all. She did, somewhere, though she wasn't quite sure where that was.

Od purred and nuzzled her muzzle again before disappearing behind her shoulder again, this time appearing on her head, paws over her head and head high. He felt like he was in a tree from where he was, up there above the others. If he stood upon her head he could see over the tall grass and spot home. As he looked around he had spotted that tree again. The tree where he spotted Rage before.
Chuckling, Uzuri'Odhran hopped off her again and circled to her tail, taking the tuft of hair into his paw he pulled at her. He tugged and tugged until she looked down at thim. Once done he smiled and yipped before running through the tall grass. It took a few moments and so the cub reappeared climbing up that tree again. From where Rage was, he looked like a small green beetle climbing up a tree. It was funny as he shimmied up to it. He had not properly learned how to just yet.
"MYRU!" he called out.

Rage felt him pull on her tail fluff, he really liked to chew and gnaw on her didn't he? She watched him, then he seemed to disappear into the greenness of the tall grass. He did blend in quite well, he was green after all, and small, which did help him with future stealth hunting abilities when he got old enough.
Then she watched him start to try and climb up a tree, he was more shimmying, but it was cute. She pushed herself to stand and walk over to where the tree was, least she would be there in case he fell. Last thing she needed was for him to get hurt, would be a very, very bad thing.
"Don't go too high Od..." she called up to him, though she doubted cubs would listen nowadays. She would watch him though, make sure she would make him be safe while she stayed here for a little while.

Od laughed as he climbed higher and higher. Seriously, did Rage think that a cub would listen to what an adult said to do? Nah, he was more in for it the fun that the thrill gave. He kept climbing higher and higher until he reached the top. He looked down to her and purred again. Around her it seemed like he was almost untouchable, unable to be harmed by anyone. Strange since he barely knew anything about this....this winged lion.
"HEY!"
he shouted as he got all four paws onto one spot, crouching low to pounce. That was right he was gonna pounce from way up there to way down there. A toothy grin of overconfidence as he hopped down aiming for her soft cushiony back.
"Alright!"
He shouted as his paws were thrown into the air and his face plastured in sheer happiness and excitement like a human on a rollercoaster or someone free-falling from somewhere high knowing it was safe. It was fun.

Rage watched him, sighed and shook her head. No one would listen to her ever hmm? Perhaps if she told her parents to get rid of her while she was a cub, they would've been safe. She flicked her tail adn watched him, he seemed so high up, he would be brave when he was older. Surely he'd find a family, and have a happy ending.
Unlike her.
Then he was falling.
She didn't know if he was doing it on purpose but he was laughing so she guessed it. She watched him and gawked as he fell, was he aiming for her? She fluttered her wings and thrust herself up into the air, and held out her paws to catch him, pull him close, hover, then descend. As she landed, she place him down carefully, "You shouldn't do that, someone may not always be there to catch you Od," but she rubbed his head with her paw and smiled faintly.
He was so full of life.

Od's head jerked side to side, his chest puffing out in and out as he panted in excitement. That was so much fun! He wanted to do it again, but he would not want to hurt Rage. He looked around for something better to do. Looking up at her, he saw that her wings were out again like before. She did catch her and landed....so they were of some use. He smiled and hopped up and down on his hind paws, pawing at her.
"Mry! Mry! Mry! Mry! Mry!"
He cried out again and again. It was like an infant wanting to be picked up, however that isn't just the only thing he wanted. There was defiantly something else to do here now and she was the key for it. Now, she was it. It seemed that things always got much more interesting when she was around. He sat down on his haunches and purred louder this time. He wanted to fly, he wanted the thrill of being so high up what it was to be like the butterflies...no, he wanted to know how it felt like to be like Rage, being able to fly so freely up there.
"Mry, Mrage, Mry!"

Rage tilted her head at him, watched him bounce up and down like a grasshoper bug. What did he want now? To scare her some more? She never thought she would fear for someone else, but she did. Those she cared about seemed to always be in danger, least in the past. She watched him, was it because she flew up to catch him?
He wanted to fly?
She smiled at him faintly, rubbed the top of his head, "Its dangerous Od, it can be, but..." could she let him do it? There were tow ways she could, let him sit on her back but, he had a tendency to climb all over the place, she didn't need him falling. Or she could carry him in her paws.
What to do?
She didn't want to disappoint him, but she didn't want to risk him getting hurt either.

Od sat down and looked up to her, suddenly tilting his head with a soft mew. What was she talking about? Dangerous? HAH! That tree was dangerous, flying can't be that dangerous. He hopped up and pressed his paws against her leg, purring and smiling at her.
"Mry? Please?"
He spoke the last word quiet unsure if it was even pronounced right. He looked up to her with such pleading eyes that seemed to get things done for him usually it was replied with an "awww" or "Alright" or something similiar. It seemed like it was something that he could do and that they can't. It was so awesome.
"Please, Mrage?"
He asked again, almost whining this time.

Rage sat back, looked around, she could fly low to the ground, but to let him sit on her back or to hold him. "I can Od but you have two choices, for me to hold you or you sit on my back. Though if you are on my back, you have to hold on, and can't wander alright?" She knew she was making a bad choice, but at least she could make him somewhat happy.
She remembered the first time she flew, flew all on her all all by herself, It wasn't a happy time, it was after she said her final good-byes to her family, and flew away from their resting place in the night. She remembered how it started to rain, lightning shot through the air. She remembered it to well.
Though this would be different.
She would be makig someone happy this time perhaps.

Od's face seemed to brighten up from gloom and confusion to brightness and excitement. He could not wait, he quickly hopped to his feet, circled around her a quick round before climbing up her back with slight effort to get to her head. He planted his legs upon her shoulder and his paws on her head.
"Mry, Myrage! Mry!"
he shouted with glee. His tail swung side from side as his body could not show his happiness through other means. His tail swung happily as his body seemed to bounce slightly on her shoulders.
"Mry!"
he called again. He could not believe what was gonna happen. Rage was gonna let him fly with her, so high up, so fast, it would be so much fun he could not help but be anxious of what was gonna happen. He licked her head to encourage her more and more. This was sort of more for him than her.

Rage felt him climb up on her back, seemed he wanted to do it that way. She sighed, stood up and extended her wings outward. Then she felt him lick her head..what was with all the drooling and chewing eh? She flicked her tail and looked up, the air seemed to be calm today, a few clouds up higher.
Least she could do something interesting.
"Just...hold on..." she started to take a few steps, then jumped up into a gust of wind, flapping her red tipped wings to bring them up a bit higher, they weren't too far up nor too far down, perhaps the best place to be. She peered around, she could see things better from up here. She felt Od on her back still, she hoped he was having fun, she hadn't really done this for anyone else before.
