The Two Sides

<Snipped quote by Fionraella>

Leo barred his teeth at him a bit and tensed up, looking like he may attack Xavier again if he wasn't careful. He snarled lowly and listened to him. "Just want food. People too noisy. I no able hunt cause you!" He snapped, before huffing and glancing towards where Xavier was going. He pointed at him. "You take me food now."

@AkeelaQ

Xavier groans, shaking his head. "Kid, i'm not heading to food. I'm going to collect... nevermind, not important." He huffs and starts walking. "If you want to come along, sure, whatever. But dont expect to actually get any food this way." Man this kid has a horrible attitude problem. He thinks to himself.

The Two Sides

Misha looked at Brick. "Alright. You gonna tuck me in, or can I stay here and watch this kid who almost died - y'know, just now?" She patted Destin gently. She was exhausted, but rage still burned behind her throat when she thought of all that had taken place. She mulled over who she was blaming - maybe everyone, maybe no one. Maybe herself. Glaring over the firelight, she tried to consider the perspective of the Rabin. He was just doing what he thought was best for his group. More than I can say for myself.

@xiaomiau

"I'm not a kid." Destin grumbles then stretches a bit to get more comfortable. "I have a great idea for sleeping tonight. The BEST idea. You and me are kitties. So we sleep on Aya's bed! I'm sure she has a super comfy bed." He purrs happily, glancing at the other healer. "Plus she's pretty." He whispers that last part and yawns again. "Yeah. Comfy bed sounds nice."

Leo snorted lightly and refused to move. He snarled at Xavier and glared at him a bit. He lifted up Xavier's shirt and snorted, before getting off of him and crossing his arms. He was looking at Xavier ad if he'd just committed a great offence or something. He growled lowly, rather irritated at this point. "Hmpf, you no have food..."

@AkeelaQ

Xavier slowly sits up. He looks at the boy. "I don't carry food with me on short trips like this." He holds his hands out in front of him, slowly getting to his feet. "Would you like to come back to my camp with me?" He asks, noticing the boy's broken english. "We have food there that you can have. You can even have your own tent to sleep in, and warm fires during the night."

Leo smirked as he watched his prey. He stalked Xavier calmly, quietly, slowly getting closer. He paused a moment, before he lunged and suddenly tackled Xavier to the ground. He sniffed at him, trying to see if the boy had anything edible on his person. He was more than a little bit hungry, haVing been unable to really get a decent meal in the last few days. He'd kept being interrupted by various people and animals that barged through the forest. It was annoying honestly.

@AkeelaQ

Xavier gasps as he's tackled. He blinks as the boy began sniffing him. "Hey now!" He tries to gently push Leo off, realizing how young the boy was and not wanting to hurt him. He tries to sit up. He could feel his poison pouches under him and he didn't want to adjust his weight in such a way that would pop them. Nothing would happen, but he spent weeks making that amount of poison.

[sorry for the brutality here omg nothing personal
she's just a mean person]

Misha glanced up at Brick, her eyes cold. "I don't need your input, asshole," she hissed, teeth bared. She glared at him over the flames, then moved closer to Destin, as if to shield him. She glanced back at the boy, ignoring Brick's presence in favor of her conversation. "We're gonna clean this mess up, somehow. Definitely... Yeah. I'll fix it. I'm sorry."

@xiaomiau

Destin huffs at her words to Brick, but doesn't comment. He nods. "Yeah. But it'll be okay. Sacha and I go way back! I cant imagine her being unreasonable with this." He leans up and licks her hand gently. "That's all I can ask. Please try to do better." He stretches a bit and rolls on his back, ignoring the pain in his side. "Rub my belly!" He grins wickedly.

The Two Sides

@Fionraella Misha smiled and moved her hand to scratch his fuzzy lil' head. "I don't think this makes me a good person." She gestured to the camp with her free hand. "Look! I got us into this mess!" She sighed. "And I... didn't stop you. You tried to kill yourself. You're just a kid, and you did that, and I just stood there, yelling like an asshole."

@xiaomiau

"Yeah well...I can't reach behind my ears. And they don't itch as a human. So I'm sort of at a loss!" He purrs contently, leaning up into her hand. He nods in agreement with Brick. "You could have left me to drown at the river. You could have left when Aya helped me. But you stayed. I think you're a great person, maybe even a great friend." He gasps playfully. "Who would have ever thought that of you!" He then shivers slightly. "Yeah well..I was pretty stupid for doing that..."

The Two Sides

The quiet forest was only disturbed by a gentle breeze, and the normal bickering of the groups... and a rustle in the trees near the river. A branch swayed a bit as the weight of a ten year old boy came to perch upon them. He looked towards the river and wrinkled his nose in irritation at the large amount of water. He huffed softly and looked towards the other direction, deeper into the woods. He sniffed at the air a bit, before he started heading deeper into the woods, away from Neither territory. He smelled many people and it intrigued him, so he was investigating. He ended up noticing some movement, and spotting a boy with dark brown hair. He narrowed his eyes a bit and crouched down on the branch he was currently perched on, before sliding down silently and beginning to stalk him.

@AkeelaQ

Xavier walks along the forested path. He wouldn't really call it that. It was just more walked on than most of the other directions from camp. He runs a hand through his hair, scratching the back of his neck as he looks around. "Hmm." He mutters to himself, noticing how cold it was. He grumbles and makes a mental note to make more poison as soon as possible, and sharpen more daggers to use. With the temperature going down, he'd be unable to use his animal form, and battles would be a lot tougher for him.

Misha slid into a sitting position and sighed. She looked into the flickering outline of the fire instead of meeting Destin's eyes. "I.... I care about you, too. Lots." She bit her lip. "Things are bad right now, though, and I'm bad at being a good friend." With a huff, she moved the hair from her face and looked at him. "So you're better off away from me." She lowered her voice. "After we get outta here, of course."

@xiaomiau

Destin watches Brick leave and come back before looking back at Misha. He listens to her words before snorting and climbing into her lap. He curls up on her legs. "Better off away from you? Right. Like that'll ever happen." He rests his head on her knee, watching the fire. "You act like you're this awful person. but sometimes it's hard to be a good friend. But I believe that you can do it!" He then purrs softly. "And right now, to help you along, I need you to scratch my ears for me. That's what a good friend would do."

The Two Sides

@Fionraella She breathed in heavily, arching her back and glancing from side to side. When her gaze finally came back to him, she sighed. Her wet hair draped over her face. "... I know. And I am.. and I.. I'm sorry." 'Aren't you lonely? She tried to push his words to the back of her mind, but they still cut into her. She didn't want to think about it.

@xiaomiau

Destin slowly gets to his paws. He sets his head on her shoulder. "Yeah well...you're not very good at showing it." He mumbles and then purrs softly. "You're my friend too Misha. I care about you." He flicks his tail a bit. "You should sit. Your knees are going to hurt." He moves back, slowly, onto Aya's lap to make room for her to sit down beside them.

The Two Sides

@Fionraella Misha withdrew her hand, fingers shaking a bit. "Destin-" she began. She blinked heavily, trying to fight off guilt. "I'm so sorry. I didn't-- I.. I shouldn't have said that, damn me." She frowned.

@xiaomiau

"No, you shouldn't have." Destin says firmly. "You're a real bitch sometimes. I hope you know that." He flinches and buries his nose under his paws. "And you make me curse. I hate cursing." He whimpers and looks at her, sad now. "I just wanted us to be friends Misha...and you just kept pushing me away...Aren't you lonely? Don't you want us to be friends?"
