[center][color=6ecff6][h3]-"Sable"/Okori : Fragile Peace-[/h3][/color]

The Kitsune looked at the girl with pleading eyes, only to be returned with sheer mockery and a comment noting him as a mongrel. Really, this girl lacked manners and the ability to have a heart! Fitting, he supposed. Okori's nervous appealing act seemed to falter as the girl scorned him, calling his methods self-righteous. Coming from a close minded brat who sought to abuse the kitten until her mind was shattered thrice over, her practice was wrong in his eyes. In human society, justice would always remain an illusion.

In that case, maybe for the rest of the trip, he might "prank" the girl. Presenting her with gold looking like a stack of leaves would probably suffice.

Okori's tail came to a low waggle, his ears twitching as they lie flat on his head. This lady was going to learn some manners on this trip... starting off with a simplistic retort that would call her out one such brazen actions. Adopting a small, rigid smile, the fox put a finger up before taking note of a voice comparable to a songstresses calling out to him. Okori's ears twitched to where it came, his head slightly turning to the woman with beautiful knowledge - Amelia.

As the woman approached, she spoke softly over how he should back down, noting that what steps he was taking was further damaging the cats safety and increasing the chance she would further be abused. Okori stared at the woman with shock, before sighing with a frown. He wasn't one to deny that she was right. Flattening his ears, he started to back down, looking at the woman with a sullen look, recalling some of his earlier actions during his life.

Nodding, Okori stared apologetically at his friend, leaning in and whispering his regrets. [color=6ecff6]"My condolences, Amelia... I'll keep better control on this expedition, promise."[/color] Moving away, Okori transitioned into a more affable, but somewhat out of place smile as his ears perked up. Rubbing the back of his head, the Kitsune presented himself as somewhat awkward, keeping his other arm near to his body.

[color=6ecff6]"Uh, miss,"[/color] Okori spoke with lowness in his voice, dampened down somewhat by his actions. [color=6ecff6]"I... er, just want to apologize for my inordinate steps; I will make sure not to cause any more distur... bance?"[/color] Okori stared absentmindedly at the slumbering body after noting the first snore. That was certainly arbitrary... but there were myriads of things that pointed to this. Sleep deprivation, insomnia, narcolepsy, etc. Blinking for a few moments, Okori was somewhat irked that he apologized... but eh.

With a huff, Okori dropped the act of being sorry for annoying the ignoble, but still had some doubts on his mind. His own missteps almost caused more agony for this kit. Shrugging, Okori glanced at the cat before tapping his chin for a moment. [color=6ecff6]"I wonder if you can you ever truly own someone..."[/color] That small comment whipped into the wind, hushed to the point where only Amelia and a few (or one) with a certain speculative abilities could pickup.

Some basic ideas to ponder on for now, of course whether she chose to diverge into them was her own choice.

[color=6ecff6]"Also, missy, you can choose not to acknowledge us due to the directive she has enforced, but,"[/color] Okori looked up, a weak smile in hand with eyes that looked like they might unleash a flood soon after all this. [color=6ecff6]"I just want to tell you I'm sorry for almost inflicting some pain on you indirectly... I'll restrain myself from causing any mischief for the noble for your sake, ok?"[/color] As the width of his smile grew, as did its warmth, his focus on the cat girl shifted to his friend. [color=6ecff6]"And yours too for various reasons..."[/color]

... there was a catlike grin forming on his lips; his cheeks falling prey to the alternating actions after him delivering his complete and genuine apology. Taking one last gander at the chestnut hair, Okori gave the cat a wink before addressing his companion entirely. [color=6ecff6]"After all, what would happen if you couldn't give any belly rubs when I'm in my gargantuan form? Oh the humanity!"[/color] In truth, it was more than that to him. Taking a brisk look at Amelia's feet, Okori returned his eyes to his lady before asking one final question.

[color=6ecff6]"Say, Amelia, you want to take a break from all the walking? I wouldn't mind carrying you until we set up camp."[/color][/center]
