AHeartlessNobody

Stand Alone(Summers and AHeartlessNobody)

Cassie allowed herself to be pulled up to her feet and soon she was being pulled close by Serix, her arm over his shoulder and his arm around her waist, and despite this being only so he could help her get tot the bed room, his arm around her waist and her being so close to him was something that left her heart, which was already racing from almost passing about, beat faster, making her a little more weak at the knees than she wished to be at that moment. She pushed through the feeling though and the two of them went down the hallway toward the bedroom.

One there, she was lowered down on the bed gently and she moved to lay down, looking up to see Serix sit down on the edge of the mattress as well. Earlier this morning ran through her mind, how he had been leaning over her and staring at her, and not only that, had fallen on top of her. Her face flushed slightly as well and tried to make the thought of it go away as he spoke to her, saying he was thinking about going out and exploring a little bit. It took her a moment with her still slightly light headed spell to remember why exactly that sounded like a bad idea. When it did come to her she looked up at him, worry in her eyes.

"When I was out. Getting the wire. There was a Scout." She said, her eyes meeting his, "I hid and they didn't see me but...if you want to avoid the others it may not be a good idea to go out right now..." She said quietly. By now she was feeling her tiredness from exerting her mental abilities take over and was ready to take her nap. Yawning, she gripped the end of his sleeve as if that would keep him from leaving the hideout, "Just....stay in here....don't go out there..."

With that she curled up, her hand still clutching his sleeve slightly as she dozed off, falling asleep for her nap.

When Cassie felt the link go away, their two minds not being connected anymore, she slowly opened her eyes and sure enough it felt momentarily like the room was spinning. She had to blink a few more times to get it to stop and even then when the spinning went away every other second there were flashes of black in her vision. This was not a welcoming feeling she wondered if it would be like this every time she tried to make the connection for now on, or if this would only happen for their first few mental lessons together. Time could only tell she supposed.

She could hear the concern in his voice as he said her name and in feeling his hand on her chin, she allowed her head to be tilted up to look at him, her eyes meeting his and for a moment, though she couldn't see it, the violet in her eyes had spread ever so slightly during their communication and now that the link had gone away, the violet color was shrinking back to the small slivers it had been until they were barely noticeable as before and the blue was the prominent color in her eyes once more.

When he told her she had made the connection a weak smile formed on her lips and she let out a sigh of relief, "Well....guess that means you and I have one more thing in common than we thought. Who know maybe after some more practice I'll be talking you to death verbally and mentally." She said in a weak joke.

She nodded when he asked if she needed help standing up and gave him a sheepish smile, "I think so. I don't want to fall out in the middle of trying to stand up you know?" She stated, feeling her legs were weak and her body trembling slightly, "Maybe a nap too would be nice. Probably would help me get my strength back." She looked to him, "Wanna help me get back to the bedroom?" She asked, reaching out to have him help her up.

He was taking a rather long time to do whatever he was planning on doing. She had been waiting there for her eyes to close before he had finally pressed his forehead to her and after letting out a breath he let his mind connect to her and began speaking to her mentally like he had done before in the plane. It still felt weird for Cassie to have their mind connected like this. She wasn't sure if she would ever get used to sharing her mind with someone. For the longest time, her mind was the only safe place, and to share that with someone was just bizarre. But, maybe it would come in handy later on if they needed to talk to one another without really talking out loud? This was a good way to prepare for that.

She listened to his voice inside her head, him telling her it might be a little harder for her to learn this skill because she was older than those on the ship usually learned this. And though he didn't mention it, she knew that her being only half Lunairan was a set back fro the as well and would make it take possibly even long for her to do as well. They wouldn't know until they started trying though, and so she kept her mind open to be linked with his taking in his advise and burning it into her memory for later us when practicing this.

Feeling him take her hands, she felt her cheeks heat up once more and was glad that he couldn't hear her thoughts or feel her emotions right then. She would be by far embarrassed if he did. Her heart raced another moment before he gave her the next part of their little exercise and that was to envision a tunnel leading from her mind into his that would help to better connect her mind with his. She wasn't sure if this would work or not but it was worth a try.

When he stopped talking, she took a deep breath and did just that, imagining there was a tunnel opening up and running from her mind to his. She wondered if what she was doing was working because if it was then that was a good sign right? It felt like something had hanged as she did this. Like there was a slight opening n the link between their minds. A small one but it was something. Yet, that something was making her mind feel suddenly weak and her head to spin jut a little. Was she about to pass out or was that a side effect? Maybe both but either way it wasn't a good feeling and if she didn't let him know she might regret not letting him onto the fact she was feeling so dizzy. Taking a shaky breath she squeezed his hands twice, holding them tightly for support a little after.

Cassie couldn't help but notice his lingering touch of her hand in his and despite how it might have seemed a little awkward when they let go, in the back of her mind she wanted to hold his hand again. Why was that? She had already established that even though she was half of what he was there was no way he would find her attractive and she shouldn't either. And yet here she was giddy like a child whenever she came into contact with him? Yes, she had to admit that he was indeed good looking. Handsome even. But, wait. What was she even thinking? Did she just think of him as handsome? Her cheeks flushed at that thought and she mentally watched to hit herself. But yet, she couldn't take that away. He was handsome and there was no denying she thought that. She just had to keep that in check. After all, it wouldn't become anything other than a slight attraction to him. That was it.

Following him out in the hallway, she frowned when he said that she was going to have to get over her need for personal space. Great. Meaning n order to test her mental abilities they were going to be rather lose to one another. This was something she really didn't like the idea of, but if he was going to help her figure out if she had any of the same mental abilities the Lunairans did then it was just something she would have to deal with she supposed.

She sighed and sat down in the hallway with him, her back to the wall and soon Serix was scooting for as well, enough that their knees were touching. This sent her heart racing and caused butterflies in her stomach. Still, she did her best to try and not let how this affected her show and instead focused on his words and him telling her what to do for the training. She didn't really like the idea of getting any closer than they already where and not for the fact that she didn't want to be closer to him. It was the fact that she actually did want to be closer that she didn't like and her own thoughts actually made her even more nervous.

But, even with these feelings, she wanted to see exactly what training he had in mind for this, so, she obeyed and did what he said, closing her eyes and leaning forward closer to him, waiting for his next instructions.

Cassie listened to him speak and when he did, her weak smile grew slightly in a real smile, though it was still small and held still a little of the sadness she felt. He was really trying hard to cheer her up and it was a really sweet sentiment. Especially when he said she had her mother's eyes. Her mother had been a beautiful woman and so to hear that she was anything like her was a great thing in Cassie's opinion. It made her feel a little better about herself and a little less like a freak.

She even felt herself blush as well when he said he thought her eyes were striking. Why she was blushing she didn't know. Yes he had just complimented her out loud and in his own words, but he was merely just trying to cheer her up. Right? He didn't mean it in a romantic way. She needed to stop being so confused about the things he always said that seemed like something someone might say to someone they were trying to woo.

Looking up at him, she smiled slightly when he made the offer to try and help her find some of the answers she was seeking. Sure, it wouldn't be as good as her parents getting her the answers and he probably could only help her figure out certain things, but it was worth a try. And who knew, maybe this could really be a big help for her since he was a full Lunairan who knew things about the Lunairan society she would never know without him. He was her best shot at connecting with her Lunairan side and she was going to take him up on his offer.

Looking up at him again, she let her eyes meet his for another moment before she nodded slowly and reached out, taking his outstretched hand. She didn't know what she had been expecting when she took his hand, but the fluttering of her heart in her chest was not it. It made her feel a little unsure at the moment, but she let it pass quickly so he wouldn't notice. Taking a deep breath she spoke, "Okay. Let's go see if w can figure this out then." She paused, looking back up to him once more, "On more thing....how exactly are we going to see what traits I have? How do you even test that?"

Stand Alone(Summers and AHeartlessNobody)

Cassie stayed staring at the floor when she heard his footsteps approaching her and he even sat on the bed next to her, speaking to her and seemed to be at least trying to make her feel better. Some of the things he said weren't things that she wanted to hear, like her being the only half Lunariran-half human. That was such a lonely thing to think about. But, at the same time, some of the things he said made her feel a little bit better. Like her being unique and proof the humans and Lunairans could have gotten along. After all, if her mother and father could have gotten along enough to actually come to love each other and have a child together, then didn't that say both species could have gotten along if they tried?

The last couple of sentences he said made her pause and hesitantly look over at him, her gaze meeting his when he put what she had told him into her own situation. How could she argue with that when she had been the one to give him that advice just the night before? Her eyes meeting his, she sighed, a somewhat sad smile coming to her face as she nodded, "Yeah I guess it does." Looking back down at the photo album, she opened it up, taking the two trinkets out and hold them in one hand as she used the other to flip tot he page with the picture of her parents.

Her fingers ran over the two trinkets slowly, thinking about her parents and took a shaky breath, her hand clutching the necklace and pocket watch tightly in her hands after a moment, "I remember....when I was younger, my mother used to hide her Lunairan appearance from everyone other than me and my father. She used to put these contacts in her eyes to make her eyes seem green and not violet. I used to ask her why she did....I had never really understood why she would hide her eyes when they were so pretty. I thought it was so cool that they glowed the way they did. She would always reply to me that people wouldn't understand and might hate her if she showed her eyes to them....back then that was so confusing for me....my mother was such a kind and beautiful woman....it never made sense to me that someone might hate her for her appearance because it was a little different....

"And then I saw you and it was then that it clicked. I never had seen a Lunairan before I saw you so for me to suddenly realize my mother was your kind was like taking my whole world, everything I knew abut myself and my parents, and turning it upside down..." She shook her hand and scratched the back of her neck, growing quiet again, running her hand over the picture of her parents as well as holding the two trinkets close to her.

"I guess I just....I wish my parents were still here...they always knew jut the right things to say and how to make me feel better when I was child. Maybe they would have the answers for me I want to know. Like how much of a Lunairan am I? What abilities or traits could I have? Or am I just a human with a bit more durability? I mean, there's so many questions I want to ask them that I know I'll never be able to."

It felt kind of good to be out of the hide away Cassie had to admit. Once she had stepped out of the building she took a deep breath of the fresh air and took in the cool breeze for a moment, taking in the morning sight where the sun had just barely started to peak out from the horizon before she traveled on, across the deserted street to the hardware store. She hadn't been to this store in years and it, like every other building in this town, and possibly the world, was run down and past its prime. She had to break the front window open with a rock and slip inside, carefully walking around and trying to find where the wire might be. It took her a few moments to pinpoint exactly where it was and even then there was different sizes of wire. She probably needed to get some electrical tape as well. She thought for a moment before deciding maybe it might just be a god idea to take all the different sizes of wire and the electrical tape, just in case she needed it.

She took little time in slipping them over her arm much like one would do a bracelet, and immediately went for the window, only to pause when she heard heavy footsteps and things being thrown around as if someone was searching. Her eyes widened and she crouched to hide under the window, eyes wide as she peaked out, seeing a figure with violet eyes unmistakably glowing the dark of early morning passing by the building she was in. She held her breath in fear, watching as the person rounded a corner and went down another street, thankfully missing the store she was in completely. She waited another moment, letting out the breath she had been holding and then when she was fairly sure she would be safe, hopped out of the window, making a dash as fast as she could to the building across the way.

She was relieved to find the Lunarian Scout hadn't come back her way ad hadn't seen her sneaking back in to the tall skyscraper. She would definitely have to be more careful next time when going out. This was too close of an encounter and she didn't need to be caught. Not so soon into this new invasion. She rushed into the back office and into the lounge, where she was fast to unlatch the door and shut it back, going into the hall. Her heat was already hammering from the close threat and so when Serix came out of the bedroom so suddenly, grabbing her shoulders and pulling her close, this made her even more tense, looking up at him with wide eyes when he put his face right next to hers, his eyes staring into her own wide ones.

“I didn’t imagine it,” Serix's voice was breathy as he looked at her with those wide glowing eyes of his. “You’re half Lunairan, aren't you? That Lunairan you mentioned before; she was your mother. I’m right, aren’t I?”

"W....what?" Castiel looked at him confused, narrowing her eyes at him when he spoke, "How did you...." Suddenly she seemed to realize how he had figured out her secret and she felt her cheeks heat up, only this time, it wasn't from embarrassment or their closeness. This time it was from annoyance and anger as she pushed him away from her,, a disbelieving look in her eyes, "You went through my things! I can't believe you!" She said, walking around hi to go quickly into the bedroom and to the draw she had put the book and such in. It wasn't hard to tell with the way it was put hurriedly back in there that it had been taken out. Picking it up, she turned her frustrated gaze to his, holding the album close to her, "What made you think you even had a right to go through my things? You are just so...so...urg! I don't even have words for how I feel about this!" She paced little before walking back over to stand in front of him, her eyes looking up into his again, pausing before she spoke once more, her voice level lowering, yet that frustrated look was still on her face, "Yes.....mother was Lunairan. And she was the one I spoke of."

Moving over, she walked to the bed and sat on the edge of it, opening the album and flipping to the picture that had her mother in it, speaking quietly as she stared down at it, "Go ahead. Make fun of me for it. Call me a freak against nature. After all, I don't belong to Lunairan race, and yet I don't belong to the human race either." She shook her head and closed the photo album, running a hand through her blonde locks, "To your people I must seem like an abomination."

Cassie looked over to him when he asked where the wire would be at. Well, that was one way to break the silent tension between the two of them. She shrugged slightly, eating another piece of fruit before she spoke, "There's an old abandoned hardware store next door to this building actually. I'm pretty sure there should be some wire there I can use." She informed him, going to sit down on the floor again like she had done the night before as they ate. Her mind was continuing to wander back to that very awkward moment that had happened to the just moments before. Why had she suddenly felt herself blush and her heart to race at the proximity of the two of them.

Her own eyes staring into his violet ones was something she would have thought would freak her out, but instead it had made her only want to stare at them longer. That thought scared her so much. There was no way she would even think of him in that way. He was an alien after all. They were two different species. It was obviously jut the fact she had spent so much time alone that she would even think he was in the least bit attractive. Yes, that had to be it. It was just her mind messing with her. She just had to get over it and realize that. Shaking her head at herself, she looked back to him, "It shouldn't take long to get the wire though. I'm sure it will be fine."

She hoped it would be fine. But, what could happen right? If Serix was the one that had been searching this area then it should be okay to go the short distance next door. Right? Right. She sighed and took another bite of her food, glancing over at him once more and when she did, she couldn't help but notice him staring at her a little harder than he had been previously doing, which made her feel slightly uncomfortable. Looking away she finished up her fruit and then stood up "I think I'm going to go get it now actually. Shouldn't take me too long so just....do whatever until I get back." Maybe when she got back this awkward tension would be in the past and they could get back to just talking and surviving.

With that in mind, she went to grab the Silencer from the bedroom and put it in her waist band again, calling out to him as she did, "I'll be back soon. Don't get yourself into any trouble while I'm gone." Then, she gone, walking up the hallway and heading out of their hide out.

Stay with Me (Summer and Heartless)

"Witches never win. We will forever be hated by human kind. We have never and will never, get a happy ending."

"Stay here and finish up those potions for me. I'll be back in a few hours."

"Yes Mother." Mirabella stated with a nod as she watched her mother put on her black cloak, walking with the older woman to the door. She herself knew when her mother said it would be a few hours, that really meant she would be back after night fall. When her mother went on her outings outside of the barrier it was always like that. What her mother was doing while out there in the woods was a mystery to even Mira herself, but knowing her mother, it was probably her reeking some form of havoc on the humans. Sometimes she wondered if her mother lived only to trouble the non-magic wielders, but she never thought too long on it, and her own urge to leave the barrier was easy blocked off by the memories of what happened to her last time she left the barrier. Every time she came even close to leaving it came across her mind, instilling fear into her. Still, she always wondered what it would be like in the outside world...

Her mother turned the knob and was about to step outside of their small cottage when she turned sharply, a stern look on the Witch's face, "And Mira,"

"Yes Mother?" The girl questioned obediently as she could, bringing her mind away from her thoughts of freedom and back to the woman in front of her.

"Do not leave the barrier. Do I make myself clear? Those humans out there are--"

"'Evil and vile. They wouldn't hesitate to slaughter an innocent spell-caster or sell them off to the highest bidder in market.' I know Mother, I know. Now, go on before it gets too late." She commented, having heard the same warning every day for the last twelve years of her life, ever since her father had been killed by humans, and even more so since she had waundered out intot he woods anyway as a child, despite her mother's warnings. It was a moment etched into her mind and always left a knot in her chest. Those human children had seemed so kind to her. They had let her join in and play with them. But the moment they found out she could do magic...they tore her apart and though the physical wounds had healed, the mental ones had left scars.

"Very good. Remember Mirabella, no matter how kind those beasts may seem, they will always hate us. Never trust a human." This warning was one of many, and after her mother had spoken it softly to her, kissing her forehead, the woman went off, cape flowing behind her as she left the home and passed through the barrier just a mere fifteen feet in front of their home, heading off into the darkness of the woods.

"What's out there that keeps her leaving all the time? What is she doing?" Mira whispered quietly to herself a she stared out into the woods a few moments, before slowly turning and walking back inside to begin the work her mother had given her. She was to make some simple potions and though it was a very complicated task, she did this almost every day, and because of this it was something she had come to do with ease and great skill. Humming softly to herself, she began taking things off of the shelves and throwing each things at a time, in a certain order, into the calderon that stood in the middle of her mother's study.

She repeated this with every potion, and by noon she had done all of the potions her mother had told her to, leaving her free for the rest of the day until her mother was to return. Smiling slightly, she moved tot her own room int he cottage and knelt down on the floor, easily finding the right floorboards she needed to grab. She had been doing this for years and so, the hiding spot was one she knew well, yet her mother had never found as of yet. She pried the floorboard up and inside lay at least ten or fifteen books. Mira ran her hands over the old bindings of each leather bound book. Tilting her head to the side she was thoughtful for a moment, before deciding which one she wanted to read for the day, pulling a book entitled Sleeping Beauty out of the spot.

These books were written by two men named the Grimm Brothers, who traveled from kingdom to kingdom, finding stories to write about, which made Mira even more interested in the because that meant many of these stories were true.Taking the book in her delicate hands, she walked outside and rounded a corner when a large creature jumped in front of her, giving a roar that didn't even make her flinch. In fact, if anything, it annoyed the girl, "Grounii, go bother someone else. I'm busy."

Hearing her disinterest in him, she and her mother's pet dragon(whom she had kept as extra protection for the cottage), snorted and made a grumbling sound, slinking off around another corner to go to the other side of the cottage and likely catch mice or tease the birds by chasing them off.

Shaking her head at the beast, she laughed under breath, she walked along, pausing when she was trying to decode where she would read today. There weren't many options in the small space inside the barrier. All of the places she usually read at were getting boring and she really didn't feel the need to read in any of those places. She walked closer tot he barrier looking out into the woods beyond the shimmering wall(which only magic beings themselves could see) and frowned. There looked like there would be many fantastic places to read at out there. But the thought of running into someone, especially humans, left her somewhat fearful of going out there.

By now, the dragon had made his way over to her once more, nuzzling his snout against her neck, making her forget her fears momentarily to laugh and swat at him, "Grounii, stop it! That tickles!" The dragon licked her face before stopping and curling around her slightly, looking at her with big yellow eyes, "What do you think Grounii? About going out there?" She asked, looking up at him, then at woods. The dragon once again made grumbling sounds that sounded like he was trying to talk to her, to which Mira nodded, acting as if she understood him, "It's just outside the barrier.....and what are the chances I would even run into a human?" She paced a hand on the barrier, ripples running over it, "It wouldn't be so bad, right? And I'd be back home before mother found out."

She smiled slightly at this and looked at him, "Alright Grounii, you've convinced me." The dragon snorted, looking at her with a very surprised and 'are you crazy' look as she went to grab one of her mother's cloaks from inside and walked to the barrier. She paused, hesitant for a moment, her heart hammering in her chest. She stood there a moment and then, taking a deep breath, walked through the barrier, blinking as she looked around the woods. She looked back to see the large dragon walk though as well and she grinned at him, "What? Are you coming to? Well, you better change into something else. A dragon isn't exactly a normal thing to see in the woods."

Snorting once more, the dragon bent down and changed forms, turning into a black cat that soon was following her swiftly as she walked through the woods, stepping over fallen trees and roots as they went. Soon, Mira was very happy to find a huge oak tree, one larger than she had ever seen. Finding it would be a perfect spot to read at, she flopped down into the grass under the large oak tree, smiling brightly to herself as she flipped open the book, starting to read aloud to herself, "Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful king and king, of whom were blessed with a daughter. Everyone gathered to see the new princess, including three fairies. These good fairies were to each bestow a gift upon the child. One granted her beauty. Another granted her the sweetest voice one could hear. But, before the last fairy could grant her wish, an evil woman with dark magic...." Even though she had read this story countless times, Mira always paused at this part, a frown forming deeply on her face, "Cast a curse upon the child. On the princess's eighteenth birthday, she would prick her finger on a spinning wheel and die."

The black cat that was Grounii stalked over, laying down beside her to look at the book as well. Mira scratched his head and looked down at him, "That wasn't nice of her to do, was it Gounii?" The cat grumbled again as if to share his thoughts, making her laugh and continue reading, "The evil woman vanished soon after placing this curse and the third fairy granted a wish that would save the child's life if the curse would be fulfilled. She decreed that should the princess prick her finger, she would not die, but fall into a deep sleep." She began flipping through the pages more, trying to skip to the end, "The princess is sent away....she meets the prince in the forest.....falls in love...blah, blah, blah....she gets sent back home to the castle, where she of course pricks her finger." Rolling her eyes she grinned, "Didn't see that coming. Not." Finally coming to the end she started reading again, "The prince sat upon his white steed, sword held high as the evil woman shifted into a mighty dragon." She looked over at Gounii, who shifted momentarily into his dragon form again, and stood up tall and proud hearing this, giving a roar, causing Mira to laugh more shush before rolling onto her back, continuing to read as he changed back into a cat, "The dragon spit flame after flame out at the prince, but the prince was too quick. He lunged forward and...." She paused once again a deep frown coming back to her face, "he killed the witch, putting an end to her dark magic."

Sighing and not having the heart to read the rest, she shut the book and tossed it to the side, looking up to the clouds as she spoke to herself, "Why does the witch always have to die? Why can't just for once, the witch have the happy ending?" She whispered to herself, turning over on her stomach to stare out into the woods, "Once upon a time....there lived a lonely witch. This witch, was not like other witches, for she wanted a life beyond the boundaries that had been placed before her. She wanted to be a good person, yet knew she would never be accepted by humans, and because of this, hid herself away, waiting for the day she might be able to live a life away from the destiny that lays before every other witch. The day she would be accepted...." Sighing again, she moved to stand, "Which will be never. Only humans live happy lives and only prince's and princess's get happily ever afters."

Trying to shrug it off the best she could, she patted the cat's head and shrugged, "I'm going to go back to the cottage and maybe organize some of Mother's spell-books. I'm sure she would want--"

"Meeeeeow."

Turning at the sound of Grounii's meow, she turned around, seeing small black cat's yellow eyes, staring out deeper into the forest. Pausing slightly, she was about to reach out and pick him up, when the animal took off running fro a reason unknown to Mira. But what she did know is she had to get Grounii back and get to the cottage before something bad happened, "Grounii?! Where are you going?!" She yelled after the cat, dashing forward to try and catch up with him, but not doing such a good job at it, "Come back! If you get lost in the woods I'll never be able to find you!" She exclaimed worried, pushing back branches and things as she went, a worried look on her face as she headed deeper into the forest, trying to find her run away shapeshifter.

Stand Alone(Summers and AHeartlessNobody)

Cassie didn't really have any trouble falling asleep. This bed as much more comfier than the make shift bed he had made out of plane seats back at the airport, and so it hadn't taken her long to feel relaxed laying there. She drifted off soon, curled up with her blanket wrapped tightly around herself. It wasn't like it was cold, but her blanket being wrapped around her like that was just something for comfort. It made her feel safe and gave her a false sense of being blocked off from the rest of the world in some ways. When she had been a little girl and her parents had still been alive, she had a habit of crawling into her parents bed and sleeping in her mother's arms. After her mother died, a blanket being tightly around her was as close as she could get to that an she had just continued to do that through out the years.

The next morning though(at least it could be assumed morning. in the dark room lit by dim electric lights it was impossible for her to tell what time of day it was), she felt a strange feeling of someone being much to close to her and that sent a shiver down her spine. Her eyes flew open and grew wide when she found Serix staring down at her rather closely. She let out a surprised yelp, and to make matters worse Serix, who was apparently as surprised about all of this as she was, fell forward, landing right on top of her, the two of them nose to nose. This had to be possibly the most awkward she had and would be in.

Serix opened his eyes and his violet eyes stared into her for what seemed like a long moment, her own eyes wide, a bright pink color coming to her pale cheeks, unsure of what to do at first. But then she got over that unsure emotion after a moment, "Get off!" She exclaimed and shoved at him, causing him to roll off of her and land with a hard thud on the floor.

Sitting up, she looked down at him, an annoyed look coming to her face as she sis, crossing her arms over her chest, "You really need to work on how to probably wake someone up. I don't know what your kind does, but staring down at someone and being super quiet is definitely not what we humans do." Still, as she said this, the bright pink color remained on her face and feeling it still there she stood up and walked to the other side of the room, averting her gaze and trying to will the flushness to leave her cheeks, "Let's go ahead and eat breakfast now. I still have to go out and get that wire." She stated, trying to get off the topic of what had just happened. She looked at him from over her shoulder and then made to her way to walk once again across the hall into the food and supplies storage room.

She grabbed a can of pears this time and opened it, trying to eat and get past this awkward moment.
