[color=sandybrown]INTERACTIONS;[/color] [color=orange]RICARDO FENIX[/color] - [@ShwiggityShwah] & JOSEIAH KIMBELL - [@Crazytazer] & ONYX - [@Shard] & ELLIOT REIDER [@Delta44] & ALICE JEFFERSON - [@Zoey White] & VALORA BEAUMONT - [@Blazion][hr] When Ricardo responded to him over the ear piece, he had noticed something in his tone that had struck him as [i]odd[/i]. Sometimes he thought that his teammates and even [i]he[/i] forgot that Ricardo took a lot of responsibility for the people that he shared a home with. It was hard to separate the man from the legend sometimea, Ricardo Fenix was a person and people had feelings. They had a tendency to joke about their little justice family, but in a way, it [i]was[/i] like they were actually a family. The amount of support that went into taking care of each other on and off the field, it was [i]familial[/i]. He forgot sometimes that Ricardo could get worried too, that he wasn't just the shining example of poster-boy heroics that New Horizons painted him as. Phoenix Dawn was as big as his name, larger than life, and emblazoned in gold and fire but he was a [i]person[/i] before all that. He was a person that was feeling guilty for his family getting [i]hurt[/i], and that made Silas worry for him. This small exchange had safely secured that Silas was going to be pulling the glorious Dawn aside for a nice brotherly talk very soon. When he'd entered and greeted the two, they greeted him in turn and despite what Ricardo had asked of him, he was [i]still[/i] too exhausted to train. He was about to find a place off to the side to settle down, and he was immediately stalled in place as a [i]cat person?[/i] entered the room. He immediately broke into song, his voice was seductive and so was his body language. It was [i]absolutely insane[/i]. He was stunned into silence and he watched as the kitty boy made direct eye contact with him. There was something incredibly flirtatious about the whole display, this kitty boy didn't want to flirt with just [i]one boy[/i], he wanted to flirt with [i]all of them, all at once.[/i] He had never seen anything quite like it before and he wasn't exactly sure how to process it but when the display had ended, he didn't know whether to clap or to exit the room as quickly as possible. Kitty boy introduced himself as "Onyx" and Silas could see a kind of charisma to his nature. "[color=sandybrown]Silas, I'm Silas-[/color]" He was cut off by the entrance of Elliot, a much different Elliot than the one that he had departed from earlier. She was moving with a confident stride and greeting everyone eagerly. When she got to him, she did something that caught him off guard, she threw her arms around his neck. He rocked back slightly, only barely managing to catch himself and support her weight. He couldn't help it, he was getting overwhelmed and flustered. The girl had her body draped against his and she was talking to him in a way that was making him blush to the roots of his hair. He needed to evacuate the situation or else he was going to have a panic attack, he was looking around for help but Ricardo seemed to just find it funny. Alice entered and inquired about his wellbeing. "[color=sandybrown]I'm- I'm [i]fine[/i], if Elliot would just [i]uh..... um...[/i] perhaps give me a little breathing room? Nothing personal, of course! I just- I- [i]uh...[/i] I-[/color]" When Valora entered the room, she did exactly what Silas expected of Valora seeing a walking, talking cat. She began to panic and he could feel himself wanting to help her somehow but he had to disengage Elliot before he could do that. He couldn't just throw her off or step back, she'd fall over, he didn't want her fall over. He also didn't want Valora to bolt out at top speed. He gave Elliot a little nudge, trying to indicate for her to release his neck and free him. His heart was pounding, he was sreadily turning red and he was about to start hyperventilating but he forced out a few words to Valora. "[color=sandybrown]Valora, it's going to be-[/color]" He was cut off when Onyx decided address her instead, he couldn't help but feel like that was a terrible idea. The kitty boy was only friendly, he didn't have any ill will towards Valora but Silas knew that she wasn't going to ease into their knew teammate that easily. "[color=sandybrown]O-Onyx, she's uh, she's not a fan of animals. It would probably be preferable if you weren't so close to her- It's- It's not just you, it's all animals. Elliot, can you please let me go over there?[/color]" [/center]
