He kept his hand clenched on the spear, just in case. In truth, as calmly as he joked around, he didn't know this girl. Besides that the way she acted was just strange. No emotion anywhere on her body. Her face seemed permanently blank. Almost bored. She was the complete opposite of Ian. Moody and uptight. Perhaps he could change that, rub off on her a little bit and help her to lighten up. Hell he had no idea what exactly she had been through before, but they were on a new world. They were the kings and queens. They were the rulers. They were the gods. They could be whoever they wanted. [color=00aeef]"Velvet Moons? Really? God that's so lame."[/color] He tried out her name. It was terribly boring. He shrugged unapologetically. [color=00aeef]"You can be anyone, you do realize that. We are free. Free! We aren't bound anymore, not that [i]I[/i] ever was. But seriously, have fun with this shit. I'm Pleasant, if you were wondering... or maybe Jackson... Uh... no, I remember now. It was Pleasant, you can call me Pleasant. I'm Pleasant both in name and person."[/color] He winked at her. [color=00aeef]"And I must say my... how did you put it... [i]'presence to satisfy my human need companionship.'[/i] Yeah that. You won't be disappointing. I am the most companioning person you know. The companioner. The most companionest."[/color] Ian made fun of her robot-like speech by completely butchering his own. Standing up next to Velvet, Ian's head turned with hers as the crashing sound echoed through the forest. [color=00aeef]"North? Wait a minute. I thought we were heading South! Ugh! Now we have to turn around and head back."[/color] Using the spear like a walking stick, he moved only slightly in the opposite direction of Velvet. The direction of the giant growling beast. Pausing he spun 180 degrees on his good foot and started heading North. [color=00aeef]"Come now Velvet, I told you we should head North."[/color] Passing her he began walking up the hill. [color=00aeef]"Come now don't fall behind, I'm only giving you... twelve seconds."[/color]
