Arthur glanced at him watching him carefully.

"What's that look for?" Soren frowned, a little hurt that Arthur was watching him with such a careful eye.

"Nothing in particular" said Arthur studying the other boy's eyes. oh cayana…. I think Im falling for him…

"Alright.." He averted his gaze shyly. "Please don't look at my eyes, they're ugly.. You shouldn't have to look at anything ugly.."

"Your eyes are not ugly" said Arthur softly. "I think they're beautiful."

"You really mean that?" Soren looked back at Arthur again, tucking his fringe behind his ear so both eyes were visible. "They're so odd.. I look like a freak honestly."

"You're no more a freak than me" said Arthur softly. "That's what some people call those like me "

Soren's eyes turned sad, he knew that others called Arthur a freak. Including his own friend. "You're not a freak, you're a wonderful, beautiful being who people choose not to understand because you outshine them in every way."

Arthur went red, his eyes dropping away in shame. If only he knew…. what I really look like when I let my true chaos form show…

(Sorry!)

Soren noticed the change in Arthur's mood, and slowly sat up. "Y'know, I don't care what could happen to you. You could be mauled by a bear, you'd still be beautiful. You could turn into a freaking horrific monster, and you'd still be beautiful in my eyes."

Arthur blinked, relaxing almost instantly. "Thank you…" was all he could say.

"So.. Is there anything you want to talk about?" Soren's voice quivered, feeling a little bored and awkward.

Arthur turned to look at him. "Maybe there's something we coild do instead?"

"Alright, what did you have in mind?" Soren smiled a little, curious.

"I have no idea" he replied, "I'm good with anything as long as it's not dueling"

(Thanks)

"Well.." Soren thought for a moment. "What does the wolf part of you want to do?"
That was stupid, way to go Ren..

"I don't know…." said Arthur, "I've never thought of myself as one half or the other, never needed to…"

"Oh I see.." Soren averted his gaze in embarrassment. He sat in silence for a good few minutes before opening his mouth again. "Do you want to go for a walk? There's a lake at the border of the campus, we could sit by it and gaze at the stars.. or something..""

"We could do that…" said Arthur sitting up with a slight groan, as the bruises from earlier kicked in. Not to mention the muscle aches. "Oof… you really pushed it…." he said laughing a little as he stretched to try and work out the kinks before they really started to hurt.

"I didn't want to hurt you.." Soren's eyes saddened as he slowly got to his feet, stretching his arms behind his head with a deep breath. "If you're in that much pain I could carry you.. or I could shadow travel us into the school and have a nurse look at you or something.."

"Nah it's just muscle aches" said Arthur, "I'm just out of practice is all, I'm using muscles that I haven't been using a lot so now it's coming back to bite me…"

"I'm sorry." Is all Soren could say. He felt like he was completely responsible for the pain that Arthur was feeling.
