[color=0054a6][b]"Oophhh"[/b][/color] Ryan complained as T-Rex used her stomach as a mattress. [color=0054a6][b]"Hey kitty."[/b][/color] Reaching down to stroke his head, Ryan decided it was a good excuse to not get up. She was [i]supposed[/i] to be tidying up her room, right up until she found an old book she liked and got distracted. So now she was sprawled on her bed, with a fat ginger cat kneading her stomach with his claws before plonking himself down and proceeding to start cleaning his face. Flicking the page of her book over she found a fight scene and immersed herself between the pages. A few chapters later, Ryan finally rolled over, receiving a reproachful glare and a small disapproving hiss as Rex was dislodged. Sliding the book onto a shelf, she went back to attempting to tidy, sweeping piles of stuff out from where it had been collapsed under her bed. With that out the way she dropped back onto her bed, staring at the massive lump of random objects that was forming a mountain in the middle of her floor. Leaning forwards Ryan picked up a small box, messily laced round once by a gold ribbon. Gently tugging the ribbon off, she pried open the lid, revealing a coiled necklace. It was, she thought, quite a pretty thing. Not something [i]she[/i] would chose, but lovely all the same, although some colour [i]might[/i] be nice. Both the chain and crystal were a silver-grey, [color=0054a6][b][i]Like my eyes[/i][/b][/color], but both together seemed so washed out, like they had once had colour before it got stolen. Hooking it out of the box with one slim finger, she recalled that it was supposed to correspond to her 'soul mates' one. [color=0054a6][b][i]Utter Bull.[/i][/b][/color] It was the same thought as when she had first seen the necklace, and heard how it worked. Shrugging she slipped it in a pocket, resolving to see if she could find a different string to hold it, hopefully something dark to dissolve the blank feeling it seemed to give off.
