It's okay, everything will be alright... all is fine.
It was a mental mantra as the small framed female moved through the forest, however, the more time that passed, the more she was aware that crawling around was simply not helping. She'd come from way up north, looking for some food, but she's strayed from her path due to a storm that had caught up to her the previous night. The water that had drenched her pelt had made her nose quite useless due to her catching a small cold... that and the fact it'd been so dark had gotten the small wild seraph completely and utterly lost.
Allowing her ears to flop to the sides of her head, Blaithin sniffled slightly, grasping the trunk of a random tree, as if she were hugging it for suppor or comfort, "Where am I... where is this..." sick of moving and not getting anywhere, she pressed her face to the cool, still humid bark and simply cried, her sniffles muffled as she hide her head against the tree as best as she could. Out of lack of someone known to cling to, she'd opted for the tree as a means for comfort; she'd gone as far as curling her long tail around the trunk, still sniffling and sobbing there, her cheek moving against the bark.

He loved days like this, which was definitely saying something as he rarely loved anything--at least that he would admit to, anyway. A storm had blown in the night before, tearing through the trees and bathing the forest floor in a mossy-smelling mist. It was glorious the next morning when Shoemowetochawchawewcatowe walked out of his knot hole ((a rather large one in an equally large tree)) to do his morning stretches and the forest was damp and foggy and dark and there was the gentle music of sobbing through the-- wait.
Sobbing did not normally accompany rainstorms, did it? A quick look around couldn't find an immediate source for the sound, but he was rather high up. For a moment the feli considered wether or not he should really bother to investigate it... but it was rather annoying and RIGHT beside his home. He could leave for a few hours, but that didn't mean it wouldn't still be there when he got back. Better to just go ahead and deal with it, he decided in the end and spread his wings to go in search of the creature.
No sooner had he dropped from the branch into the welcoming arms of the forest air did he spot the crying creature latched, rather coincidently, to the base of his tree. Hn. Female, he thought from the sound of it--he might actually kill himself if a man were out doing this. Shaking his head at the the thought, Shoemowetochawchawewcatowe dropped down lightly on the the ground a short distance behind her, raising a single eyebrow at the sight. It was even more pathetic close up. "Ahem." He cleared his throat lightly, not comfortable with the idea of getting closer. "Ahem!"

Amusingly enough, it wasn't till the second, louder 'ahem' was uttered that the female slowly perked an ear; likewise, it took her several moments to retreat her face from the bark of the tree, and still slowly, she turned to face the source of the sound. Green eyes met amber and her first reaction was happiness; there was someone there! Thus, following her instincts (or lack there of, rather), the Lai gasped and launched herself at the male, attempting to latch herself around his waist as if he were some sort of anchor in the storm of her feelings and despair.
Her happiness soon enough melted into disapointment while she was rubbing her head against his pelt; he did not smell familliar. He was not from her clan... she did not know him. Pulling away from him, the tricolored female sniffed at him before stepping away, still looking distressed, now doubly so; she was lost... so lost that the feli that lingered this place were unfamilliar.
The need to cry bubbled up once more and though she did her best to force it down, the fact she'd begun to sniffle rather pathetical was a hint of what was to come. After a small pause, she finaly granted the male her complete attention, her ears lodged down against her neck, her head held low, eye glancing up at him in submission, "Ano... do you know where we are? I'm... lost," a second pause as she tried to grip hold of her courage, "Can you help me?"

Oh great lord of the earth! Shoemowetochawchawewcatowe tried to lean back in time to avoid the female's grasp, but in the end he hadn't had time to truly evade her. Rather, he was forced to sit there and submit to a rubbing, the kind of which he'd NEVER had, not even from his own mother. The expression on his face had to be quite comical, nose scrunched and mouth open in shock, his eyebrows raised right up to his hairline. It faded when she let him go, however, and began to sniffle again. Females!
Shoemowetochawchawewcatowe cleared his throat once more, a sure sign that he was more than a little disturbed at this turn in events. It wasn't that he hated women--oh no, he simply didn't like anyone at all. That was why he had left his clan and moved far away on his own. It was why he stayed away from that peculiar house he'd seen a few times in the distance, where feli of all kinds seemed to congregate. It was why he did NOT like waking up to sobbing women on his effective doorstep! Why did the universe have to smite him like this on an otherwise picturesque morning?
"We're in the forest," He stated with a sour expression. That much seemed obvious and he felt the girl shouldn't be asking such completely ridiculous questions. Of course, people were like that, it was one of the reasons why he didn't like them; they always felt the need to incessantly repeat themselves whether in question or statement.
Her second question did catch his ear a little more, however. Could he help this pathetic little creature, or... let her go back to clinging to his tree and never leave. The latter thought was enough to make his ears twitch backward for a moment. He snorted, then gave a single, curt nod. "Follow me," It was something of a sigh, but nonetheless an order as he turned wakl into the forest. He'd take her to that odd little house in the distance, it seemed like a proper place for her sort.

The female's gloomy expression seemed to change slightly at his first words; her ears tilted back, her brow furrowing ever so slightly, "I know we're in the forest..." she just didn't know what part of it; she had to have moved down south a bit too much. Or maybe she'd moved west? She wasn't sure... but that aside, she knew damned well she was in the forest! Where did he think he was? In the meadows? A small pout formed on her maw as she looked away from him, both slightly embarrassed and still upset.
Raising a paw, she covered her maw barely and finally turned her gaze to him again; all what she could figure out from his looks was that... he didn't seem all too happy, and that he was a seraphim feli. That was about it. That aside nothing else seemed to catch her gaze. That is, till her green eyes fell on his tail; he was wearing feathers there. Slowly, her tail arched up into the air and she glanced at her on trinket, the feathers dangling down from it; if anything, the sight of it force a small smile upon her maw.
Even if it didn't quite mean anything, it set her at ease enough to rub her eyes clean of tears and nod at him as he told, or rather, practically commanded her to follow him. Ears perked upward as she rushed forward to catch up to the male, whom was already padding away. According to what little she could make out... they were walking South again; where was he taking her? "Ano... what's your name?" it was an innocent question, more meant to break the ice she could feel around them (almost like a hail storm that separated them, she thought), than anything else, "They call me Blaithin," a pause before she spread her wings slightly, arched her tail and dangled it between them, her feathers hanging there, "Seems we have a bit in common?" she was obviously referring to the trinket; she wasn't even sure where she'd acquired it to begin with, actually.

And why did they alwasy have to ask his NAME? Shoemowetochawchawewcatowe tried not to show his annoyance (which was an unusual thing for him to suppress, really) and didn't roll his eyes like he was first inclined. His second inclination was to not answer, but that could produce rather annoying results... so instead he swallowed his pride and said...
"Xian Lao." His hazel eyes glanced over her feathered trinket, rather like his own. Interesting, but not terribly conversation inspiring. He turned his gaze back towards the ground instead, watching where they were going for a few minutes. "I suppose we do."
He wasn't much of a talker, that was obvious, but soon they broke free of the forest into a vast meadow of sorts with high grass leading into it. He plunged right in, totally confident of what he was doing, and seemed to expect the girl to follow. "you should stay out of the forest if you don't know where you're going," He finally stated, quite bluntly, "There won't always be someone around to dig you out."

A nod from the female, whom didn't catch the lie, in fact, he could've probably told her he was from mars and she'd have believed him. She was likewise clueless to as to how he felt, for not only did she not notice his wince nor the evident effort he was undergoing to keep himself from rolling his eyes, "It's a nice name; does it have a meaning?" needless to say she also didn't seem to mind the fact he wasn't that much of a talker; Blaithin was rather content to talk either way, and rather cheerfully at that, "My mother said that I looked like a little flower when I was born, so she named me Blaithin; it means little flower."
She smiled then and left it at that, batting her paw almost unconsciously at his tail as she walked behind them. However, as soon as they came out of the forest and into the tall grass, she stilled and stiffened; her eyes racked the surroundings till they landed on the large house in the distance, and instantly, she pressed her body to the ground, hi dding in the tall grass, using it for protection. It was obvious she'd never been there before; her gaze, almost panicked swept up to him, and despite the harsh words (which she seemed to ignore), she grasped one of his front arms with one of her paws, "This is not home," a pause again as she aimed a hurried glance towards the house again, "You're mistaken... I live in the forest... just not where I was..." her head still held low, and paw still gripping him shamelessly, Blaithin turned to gaze at the construction.
Never had the small seraph seen this place, and right now it seemed rather frightening to her, "What is this place?" a second pause as she gritted her jaw together, pondering something before she flopped her ears back, "Can you please come with me?" it was, she thought, a fair enough request; she was scared (what if there were ghosts or monsters there?), and he was being rather helpful (if not a bit cold, but she'd obviously chosen to ignore that bit. That or she was in denial about it), "I don't want to go alone there."

"No." The word was practically grunted in response to his supposed name. In truth, it probably did mean something but he didn't know or care what... at least for now. Shoemowetochawchawewcatowe couldn't help but spare a glance behind him when he heard her call herself a flower. If flowers were spotted--he thought she more resembled an over ambitious cow. One of the few lessons in manners his mother HAD put into him came back, however, and he held his tongue on that one. No lady would put up with such a comment, and no man should ever dare make one. That was about the moment when she grabbed his leg.
"I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING!" He snapped as the chain reaction caused him to stumble. It was only then that he realized she was reacting to the house and not his unvoiced opinions. Shoemowetochawchawewcatowe coughed slightly, settling his fur with a shake and pulled his leg away so that he might turn to face her properly. "... Well I didn't think you lived here, but this is the.. local gathering point of feli in general. You might find someone you actually know," He explained gruffly, more than a little embarrassed by his outburst.
She did make the most pathetic sight on the ground, cowering like that. As much as he hated to admit it, it was a somewhat ... pitiful, vaguely charming sight. With a sigh he knew what his answer was going to be and once more Shoemowetochawchawewcatowe rose to his feet. "Come on," He breathed, turning and heading for the house again. "We'll find your family."

At his sudden outburst, Blaithin blinked and let go of his arm, slightly surprised to see him stumble backwards; after all, taking into account he'd barely displayed any type of emotion, this was ... interesting. A pause followed, her stance frozen with her paw outstretched, hovering where he'd been just moments before, however, this didn't last long; her earlier agitation had melted into a soft, sweet smile which she hid behind a paw as he stumbled back.
Her own parents had taught her that laughing over someone's clumsiness was not polite, but there was nothing she could do to hide the smile, for it reached her eyes slightly. It wasn't mocking, but rather, seemed to tell him wordlessly that it was all, in fact, alright, "Are you alright?" padding over, she peered over, tilting her head innocently as she regarded him. Taking a step back, she watched him sit up again and cough, and soon enough the earlier agitation struck on her again; her pelt seemed to fluff up as she shrunk down into herself, making the small seraph seem quite ... more fluffier than she was in reality, "A gathering point?" a pause as her eyes darted from him to the house, and then back swiftly at him again, "Do you... think there'll be mons- er ... gho-gho..." her ears flopped down again as she shrunk further into herself, flopping down on the ground for good measure, "Ghost there...?" it was obvious it'd taking her a great deal of effort to get that simple sentence out, and she shuddered involuntarily.
A sigh of relief was released as he offered to come with her, and thus Blaithin was swift to follow after the male, flashing him another smile, "Thank you; I don't like being alone, and you're being really nice and helpful," a small purr rumbled, though it vanished quite quickly as soon as they neared the large building; it looked intimidating to her (after all, this was the first time she'd seen anything other than her forest, and nature), and thus, mostly out of fear, she found herself edging up against Shoe,, slowly pressing her side against his, partially hiding behind him, "Have you ever been here yourself?" her words had dropped to a whisper by then, her front paw gripping his tail as if for comfort, her free paw reaching up to cover her maw.
All in all, she still seemed to look... rather pathetic indeed. There was nothing she could do, really, and the sudden crash that came from within he house, followed by what was clearly boyish laughter... did not help; in fact, the seraph 'meeped' loudly and clung herself around the male's waist, pressing her face against his pelt, "It's a ghost!"
Nothing further from the truth; the feli that came skidding out of the feli flap door was nowhere near ghastly. In fact, he looked rather lively as he dug his claws into the wood of the porch to stop himself and swiftly rushed back towards the flap door, lifting it up to stick his head back inside, "HAHA! I WIN!" The words were screamed as he wagged his tail, "Did you SEE that?! I totally WIN!" it was unsure whom he was talking to, but it was no doubt someone within.
Blaithin wasn't all too sure she wanted to know and instead kept herself clung around Shoe's waist, her pelt having puffed out from fear.
((Feel free to toss in... anyone you want XD; as Brick's 'playmate'? Also you can decide what's gone on inside))

 Blaithin's fur wasn't the only to ruffle at the shouting from inside. No, he had never been here before, but he didn't think it was time to mention that either. "Its not a ghost!" He couldn't help snapping at her again, but it was hard not to at least try and deny it when she'd gotten him jumpy as well! ... and now she was hugging him again! WHAT WAS WITH THIS? Shoemowetochawchawewcatowe reared up on his hind legs, ready to push the girl off of him rather unceremoniously when the strange new feli's trick became known to whatever was inside.
"BRICK YOU MOTHER -censor- LITTLE -censor-WIPE! GET YOUR -censor- -censor- BACK IN HERE AND CLEAN UP THIS -censor- MESS! I SPEND ALL DAY -censor- THIS HOUSE AND I WILL BE -censor- IF I LET YOUR -censor- FLY!"
"You really did it this time, mate," A dark feli slipped out of the door right then to turn beside Brick. Her cool, light eyes regarded the flap for a moment, almost as if challenging it to try and stop them... or whatever might come out of it. "She's well and thoroughly pissed; good job." Satan gave a snort, trying not to laugh at the entire thing. Almy was scary when she got angry, yes, but it wasn't directed at HER and therefor it was the funniest thing in the world. It would be better if the pink aquatic actually caught up to Brick. hmmm....
That was when a pink head poked itself from the feli door, fur bristled and anger practically dripping from her form. She growled, the sound audible to the strangers on the lawn, and approached the two with a steady slowness. It was obvious she was trying to control herself in front of the 'kids', but having a dificult time doing it. Satan's growing smirk only caused Almalphia's back to arch further and she practically spat. "Do not think you're uninvolved in this, child," She hissed in her direction, then turned her head slightly to encompass the both of them. Her voice was low and level, in that quiet before a storm level of ticked that the poor woman reeked of, "If either of you heathens... takes the slightest step into this house today... i will cut it off... and make you clean up the blood. Do we have an understanding?"
"I thought you just told him to go clean it up, eh?" Satan couldn't help but shoot back with a sarcastic little smirk. As scary as Almalphia could be... it was distinctly hilarious as well. Not to mention she had a scrape goat right there to shove in the female's face while Satan escaped. After all, of the three of them, she was the only one that could fly. Still, a small part of her regretted it when the pink feli's nose was pressed against hers.
"I change my mind," Almalphia growled, eyes narrowed to tiny, vibrant little slits of fury and the faintest of yowls built in the back of her throat. Almy paused there for a second, then slowly her eyes slid to the left to look at brick. "Leave. Now."
"Temper temper." Satan mocked carelessly. Her own pink eyes shot open when Almalphia finally took a swipe at her head. She ducked it, though barely, and turned on a dime to run down the stairs. Her tail hooked to Brick's to pull him away too, but she laughed as she ran...Shoemowetochawchawewcatowe 'erked' when the two turned and began to run.. directly in their direction. The shove he'd been intending to use to push her away turned into one to push her out of danger, because that dark feli was not stopping. He himself managed to leap out of the way just in time to avoid being run over by uncaring Satan.
"DEATH FROM THE STAIRS!!" She howled as she ran past, considering it all the warning she needed.

Shoe's snapping didn't seem to reach the young seraph's ears; right now, as far as she was concerned, he was the safest one of the lot and thus she kept her arms wrapped around him. Even after it'd been determined these feli were in fact, not ghosts, the idea they MUST be monsters, or demons, remain within her mind. Her eyes grew wide at the shouting that came from within the house (not to mention the colorful language), and Blaithin found herself clinging to the male's body even tighter than before if at all possible, her eyes growing wide, the pelt around her nose bridge and cheeks paling considerably.
As Satan came out of the house, Brick chuckled softly, his ears flattening back against his cap before he winked, "All in a day's work, eh?" the words laced with what seemed confidence, or at least... it seemed as much till Almy showed herself, coming through the flap door. Instantly, the red male drew himself up into a sitting position, straight, ears erect, his maw curled into something of a mischievous smirk. His eyes denoted something akin to fear however as the pink female drew herself up and loomed over them, "Uh... oops?" unlike Satan however, he had the grace to allow his ears to flop back against his sides as he was scolded, his smirk melting into what could have been interpreted as a bit of a pout.
He knew better than to speak up against Almy however. Something Satan seemed to not know, causing the male to arch a brow in question as the green female dared an answer. Now, Brick was in fact quite intelligent when it came down to self preservation; he knew when to stop, admit defeat and skip off elsewhere (after all, that ensured he'd be able to come back later on in time and give it a second try! Live on to try again, was his motto; never give up!).
A pause followed as Brick had begun to edge away from both females, "Don't mind me then~~!" he whistled slightly as he stood on all four to take a hasty retreat (it was time to go practice flying again; not being able to was god damn ... frustrating, if you will, after all, and patience had it's rewards for he'd already more or less learn to glide enough to not crash face first every time he fell). Things happened way too fast however, and soon enough he found his tail hooked around Satan's and his body pulled along with that of the green female, "Hey, hey! WATCH THE HAIR!" even sinking his claws into the porch seemed fruitless; he was merely able to blink and stare at Almy with a gawking expression for just a second before he was flung towards Satan by the law of gravity.
Had it not been for Shoe's shoving, there was no doubt Blaithin would have been run over; in fact, she would have been run over and smudged, and greatly traumatised to boot. As it was however, she was pushed out of the Dark felis' way just in time, her frame landing with a yelp of pain against the grass, safely to the right. She lost no time, and despite the fact her arm muscle felt rather sore from the fall, the seraph jumped to her feet, her pelt fluffing out and standing on edge, green eyes wide in fear; as if to accentuate this, she now sported large grass stains amongst her brown markings, "WHAT IS THIS PLACE?!" Fear kept her rooted to her spot, however, her mind was sending her mixed signals anyhow; part of her mind told her to rush back to Shoe's side. The other part of her mind told her to run for the hills; that the forest was MUCH better than this and that she'd deal with being lost better than facing these scary feli.
By this time, Brick had decided that being pulled along was rather fun, and had opened his wings to cause lag for Satan, cackling at the motion. As he passed by Blaithin's side, he winked, placed a paw to his maw and blew a kiss her way before being pulled away, "See you later, suckers!"
The seraph's jaw hung open at the display, and finally having seemingly decided on a course of action; she rushed to Shoe's side, taking a moment to look over her shoulder before looking him over, "All you alright? Are you hurt, Xian?" she seemed to be honestly more preoccupied in knowing if he had any injuries rather than tending to herself.

"Hurt?" What a silly question. Shoemowetochawchawewcatowe snorted from where his nose was pressed to the ground, then sneezed at the dust he'd snorted up. His maw curled at the undignified reaction he'd given and the seraphim attempted to push himself up from the ground only to have his eyes widen a little.
Okay, so maybe he WAS hurt. The green one hadn't actually missed him entirely as he'd somehow thought. Not to mention, the ground wasn't exactly forgiving for those who fling themselves too carelessly upon it, and it was making its vengance known in the jelly of his legs and paws. Shoemowetochawchawewcatowe refused to allow the female to know that, however. Gritting his teeth, he forced himself to stand up and look after where the green and red feli had rushed off into the distance. They seemed to still be joined as two lovebugs in the spring, and he rolled his eyes. Fools.
"Oh my dear, I am so sorry." Shoemowetochawchawewcatowe winced away from the voice at first, but it lasted but a moment. Suddenly the pink feli wasn't screaming, and seemed, oddly enough, like the least fearsome creature ever. Almalphia had decended the stairs to check on the both of them, a look of deep concern written across her features.
"Those two are so bothersome, I'm afraid.." The female tsked, looking, too, to the distant dustcloud the terrible duo had deposited upon the land. She shook her head, "I didn't mean to spook them into your direction; my sincerest apologies."
"Hardly," Shoemowetochawchawewcatowe sat himself upon his rump ((once more restraining a wince)) and began to gingerly dust off his coat. "I hadn't any idea such hellbeasts were kept here. I should have never come."
The once-contrite water feli raised her brows in question. That was certainly an odd reply... but she was used to as much with consideration of whom she'd tied her life to. She looked, instead to the female, and extended a paw towards her shoulder, "Were you hurt, dear?"

Despite Shoemowetochawchawewcatowe's efforts to keep himself from wincing, the small female had noticed the grimace that had spread over his features, if only slightly. That and the fact his feet seemed to wobble as he stood up told her that he had, indeed, been hurt; even though that much was obvious in her mind, the small seraph took a step away from him and sat herself down on the floor, looking at the blades of grass that grew around her feet before turning her head towards where the troublesome due had taken their exit.
Her arm still felt somewhat sore, but that aside, she figured she was alright; she was having second thoughts about entering this strange house though. Almy's sudden change in personality did nothing to sooth the wild seraph's feelings and she found herself shrinking away from the pink feli, "I'm..." a pause as her voice cracked and she finally lifted her green eyes towards the other female, "I'm fine... thank you..." she didn't quite look alright though. In fact, she still looked torn between running away or ... running towards the male to cling to him; she did neither, instead remaining sitting on the floor, with her tail wrapped around her limbs as it twitched nervously.
It was clear however, that the small seraph was used to touch, and that it swiftly soothed her, for after a few moments had passed, she inched towards the pink feli, allowing the patting on her shoulder to calm her nerves. She still looked torn, however, for obviously different reason as she eyed the larger seraph, a paw placed against her maw, "I... I don't think my family is here," this was said in a light murmur, her paw finally lowering to the floor as she stared at the door; it was clear she seemed to be debating something, however, she came to no real conclusion and merely sat there instead.
"Wait till I get my paws on that BLOODY moron, I'll show him a thing or two," the words were dripping venom as a lavender hued feli poked his head out of the feli flap; his maw was set into a grimace, his purple eyes ablaze as a blue aura whipped around him. Dripping from the top of his head was red pain which splashed on the floor as he walked, "How DARE he ..." grumbling, Mewtwo padded down the stairs, still looking like he was more about to eat Almy than nuzzle her, which... he actually did do.
Upon Mewtwo's entrance, Blai had done that which she'd promised herself she would NOT do; aka, squeak and rush back to Shoe's side, hiding her form partially behind him as she attempted, for all she was worth, to not cling to him (after all, even she'd noticed that he seemed to repel this. For some reason or another).
A pause from Mewtwo as he sat down and brushed the top of his head, growling at the paint that flung off his paw with the motion, "Who are these two, anyhow?" his eyes fell on the wings and jewels before he turned away, focusing his attention on grooming himself.

Shoemowetochawchawewcatowe still arched his back up straight when Blai jumped behind him, once more wincing as he did. THis time the faintest hiss worked through his teeth, catching Almalphia's notice. The pink aquatic's brows lifted, then she put a paw to her maw. "oh dear, they really DID run you over, didn't they?"
Her fur raised on end in one mighty huff, "I just CANNOT believe those two! You poor thing, why don't you come inside and we'll fix this whole mess right up." Fussing about Shoemowetochawchawewcatowe in a manner torn between worried, contrite and angry, Almy began to herd the Seraphim right inside the feli house. He was so blatantly surprised by this, he didn't even argue... beyond that, he wasn't in much of a position to defend himself.
"Madame, if you please," He tried, but found the female a strange one to argue with.
"Almalphia," She cut him off, glancing at her mate as she did. "Does it really matter WHO they are, Mew? Those heathens nearly killed them! ..." She managed to stifle a snicker when she looked at him and added, "Though Bricks aim does seem to be improving..."
"Even if they're not," Shoemowetochawchawewcatowe finally answered Blaithin as he slowly mounted the stairs up to the porch. "That wasn't the point."
"Then what was?" Almalphia asked instead, obviously quite the busy body. She held the feli flap open for him, however, so he wasn't inclined to hate her completely... yet. "Are you looking for someone in particular, dear?" Her gaze turned Blaithin. "Again, I'm very very sorry about all of this--I certainly didn't mean to startle them in your direction, especially when you're on a quest for something. Why don't you come along with us and we'll see what we can do about helping you?"
Though the other two wouldn't have caught onto it, there was something very wrong today with the pink aquatic. She caught her mate's eye, a small plea written across her features, as well as in the slight twitch of her paws and ears. She didn't think she'd heard herself use 'dear' quite so often in one sitting before.

Heavy lidded, Mewtwo regarded his mate with a both a sneer and a grimace still plastered over his features, and as Blai watched, she found herself shrinking away from him instantly, jumping in a rush after the brown seraph's form. She'd never seen such a bitter looking male; she was probably missing the fact his current expression was, in fact, not directed at them or Almy, but rather, at the two feli that had caused the whole racket in the first place. All Blai knew was that this male seemed angry, and she was not going to get in his way; quite a strange outlook for someone that had taken to hiding behind and cling to Shoemowetochawchawewcatowe, whom was... although not as openly aggressive, still rather scary in his own way.
However, the petite seraph female had already 'placed' Shoe under the 'friends' category in her mind, and there was very little the other could have done to scare her away or convince him he was evil.
"I'll show him some aim," came the sullen grumble as the large lavender male moved with ease up the stairs, "That paint balloon startled me out of my newspaper... not to mention the mess it's made of the living room; Erik's going to love to see his piano all covered in red paint tonight, I'm quite sure. I'm half tempted to stay up just so I can film his reaction when he gets there; my realm for a camera recorder..." most of this was grumbled, however eloquently enough to be understood as he padded by his mate, his brow arching slightly. He paused for a moment mid step and sent Almy a meaningful glance, <> the words were sent privately to her, using telepathy which he now rarely used at all; he reserved his mate the privilege of hearing his mental voice. Only her. At special moments. This ... didn't happen to be one of those 'special' moments, however, he deemed the use of such an ability worthy. He seemed to pause for a moment however, his features denoting confusion as she spoke to Shoe.
Help them. Oh dear indeed. He caught the plea written across her features, and no sooner had he done so, that he lowered his head in resignation, sighing softly, "Aye... we'll help if we can; If you're looking for someone and there's someone in this house that knows them, I'm sure we can find them," this said, he slipped through the feli flap door, waiting for the rest near the hallway for just a second before slipping towards the kitchen, where he busied himself by making some tea and hot chocolate, simultaneously, <>
Slipping silently through the feli flap, keeping herself still as near as she could to Shoe, Blai regarded the large house, her green eyes going wide. She'd never been near a house, or civilisation... the place was strange, yet fascinating. At least, while she made sure to stay comfortably near the other Seraph; she was taking care not to touch him, which was probing to be a hard task, might she add, "We're ...." a pause, her eyes becoming heavy lidded for just a moment before she turned and offered Almy a smile, "I am looking for my family; I'm afraid I got lost... I'm not entirely sure where I am, or where they are. Xian was nice enough to escort me here; he probably wants to go to his own home by now however," she sincerely hoped not, but her instincts told her otherwise, "He's not on a quest... I am; he's just been nice though."
Slowly she turned her head to face the seraph beside her, "I'm sorry you ... er..." he'd said he'd not gotten hurt, and she thus didn't truly want to force it out of him, "Had to escort me here; I'm really grateful. I'm sorry to be such a nuisance," this said she bowed formerly, silently apologising for him being hurt because of her. Then she slipped carefully into the kitchen, watching Mewtwo go about with three cups, "What's that?"
"This," came Mewtwo's voice as he hoped off the counter, placing the three cups for Almy, Shoe and Blai to take, "Will make you feel better."
