[IC] The Two Sides

[xiaomiau]

@Fionraella Misha jumps to her feet. "Wait a second - stop it! Destin!" She shifts into her small but faster - she hoped - cat form and scampers after him, claws scraping soft ground as she lunged upwards. Her claws make purchase on the rough bark of a tree. From there she weaves from branch to branch, racing across the forest in hopes of - what? She wasn't sure. She hadn't planned that far ahead. For now, she plunges ahead through the foliage and loose branches.

Destin ignores her behind him as he weaves around the trees. He reorientates himself, heading towards the camp. He slows down as his legs quickly tired from the mud. He whimpers, ears flat against his skull. I wonder what Fabine's ACTUALLY going to do to me when I get there.. He wonders to himself, heart sinking. If he did end up being killed, maybe at least then Aya would be a better healer for her group....

[xiaomiau]

@Fionraella Misha bounds across branches, leaping from side to side until she hears movement in the brush below. She drops to the ground with a soft patter. "Destin!" she calls, glancing around at the trees and half bare bushes.

[Fionraella]

Destin spots Misha up ahead and stops, falling silent. He slowly lowers himself to the ground. There were too many leaves and twigs on the ground to go around her without her hearing him. He watches her from the distance, able to see her through a nearby bush. Please just leave...

[xiaomiau]

Misha sniffed at the air. "Destin," she growled. She remained still, glancing around her but not seeing him. "You're gonna regret what you're about to do."

@xiaomiau

Destin exhales softly, before padding out towards her, tail dragging across the ground. "Why is that?" He demands the best he can, still shaking a bit. "Because you wanted to tell Fabine yourself?" He looks at her painfully.

[xiaomiau]

@Fionraella She glares up at him. "No," she hisses. "Because it's damn stupid!" Her tail lashes behind her. "Think about this before you rush off and get yourself killed." Funny. Me, telling someone to think, she muses.

@xiaomiau

Destin looks at her sadly for a moment before laying down on the floor. "Okay. What do you suppose I should do then?" He asks, curling his tail around his side and looking at her. "Please, tell me. Help me figure this out!" He turns away before he can start crying again.

[xiaomiau]

@Fionraella Misha shifts back into her human form. She sat on the forest floor beside him, still but mind racing. "I don't..." she began, then trailed off. She took a deep breath and clenched her fists. "I think you should tell your friend that you have to stop seeing each other." What is this pacifist crap? she thought, cursing herself. I feel like the damn Grinch.

@xiaomiau

Destin looks at her sadly, then shakes his head. "I'd leave the Broms before I did that. I'm not hurting anyone by talking to her!" He slowly gets to his paws. "You can't make me not see her anymore!" He snaps, then blinks, stepping back and looking at his paws. "I like her too much to stop seeing her..." He whispers, looking at Misha sadly. "Please."

[xiaomiau]

@Fionraella Misha narrows her eyes and considers his words. She watches him carefully. As much as his betrayal irritates her, she can't help but feel some sympathy at his sad lil' face and innocent desire to make friends. "You realize this makes me a traitor, too, right?"

@xiaomiau

Destin exhales and shakes his head. "Maybe you should tell Fabine then..." He flicks his tail. "If you're going to label me a traitor, then you should just tell him." He says bitterly. "And I'm not a traitor. Even if you think I am. I'm still a Brom. I'm still your healer. You should treat me with some form of respect!"

[xiaomiau]

@Fionraella She raised her brows. "You're a child! You're making stupid choices and you're gonna get people hurt!" She pointed her thumb at her chest. "You outta respect me, 'cuz now I'm old and wise enough -" She smirked. "- to know that either of us telling Fabine is not an option. Okay?'

@xiaomiau

Destin rolls his eyes. "Child. I've saved everyone's life in camp more times than you!" He shifts, crossing his arms. "I know more herbs than you do. I know what they do. I know how to make a poultice to fight infection. I know the best medicine to grab in town. Don't call me a child!" He then glares at her next comment before blinking. "Fine. But I'm not going to stop seeing her!"

[xiaomiau]

@Fionraella Misha laughed bitterly. "That doesn't change the fact that you're a kid! You can't even drive! Doesn't mean you're useless, but it doesn't mean you know what you're talking about when it comes to making choices that get people killed."

@xiaomiau

"It's not people! It's me!" Destin shakes his head. "You can't make me not tell Fabine." He says firmly before beginning to walk towards camp. "Unless you agree I'm not hurting anyone, I'm going to tell him!"

[xiaomiau]

@Fionraella Misha hopped up and began weaving through the trees behind him. "I'm not saying you shouldn't tell him. But I'm also not saying I'm going to tell him. But I'm definitely not admitting you're right. And I also am saying that you really shouldn't tell him."

@xiaomiau

"And why shouldn't I? You called me a traitor! Traitors to whatever group Fabine is building should die. I mean, I'm weakening the group aren't I?" Destin asks, not slowing his pace. He had a determined look on his face.

[xiaomiau]

@Fionraella Misha shrugged. "Absolutely. I mean, if walking up to a violent and unstable teenage boy with his head too far up his ass to pay attention to his own royal subjects - and telling him 'Oh, by the way, even though I'm super important to keeping everybody alive, I've been going behind your back and having play dates with the enemy." If that's what gets you off, I mean -." She threw her hands up in the air. "By all means, go ahead!"

@xiaomiau

Destin stops and sighs, turning to face her. "I wish you would treat Fabine with more respect. You know he does...yeah he is pretty unstable." He giggles then sighs heavily. "What would you want me to do? I'm not going to stop meeting her. Do you just want me to be caught by Fabine or someone less...helpful?"
