forum Rykah and Will(because I can't think of a better title)

Will pointed towards his brilliantly yellow bedspread, and said, “Sit down.” as he took the desk chair.

Rykah didn't know what else to do so he sat down, scooting back to sit crosslegged his tail curled around to rest on his lap, and his wings kinda went off to either side.

“Sorry about my brother. Over-protective.” Will said, his eyes dropping. He rubbed his thigh, where he knew a scar was.

I wish I had a brother…. "It's probably better than having to protect yourself all the time…." he said slowly.

“I love him, but sometimes I wish he just wasn’t so protective. I get why though…” Will said, sharing much more with Rykah then he would with anybody else. Although he loved his siblings and his parents, he would never tell them the things he was saying now.

"Uh huh," Rykah was distracted by a family picture taped to the wall, It showed Will being hugged by his mom and dad, I miss her… I miss her so much…. he couldn't help thinking about his own mother, and the pain of not knowing weather she was dead or alive….
(I am so evil….)

(Omg, that’s so terrible but so great at the same time. Poor Will. The reason that Jack is so protective makes me sad every time, even though I decided it.)
Will noticed Rykah staring at a picture on the wall. “So… you like card games?” Will asked, hoping to distract Rykah.

Rykah started at the sudden sound. "Um. yeah, sure." He said tearing his eyes away from the photo.

Will, suddenly realizing he no cards in his room, said “Hang on.” And ran across the hall to his brother a room, where he found a deck of cards on the desk. He came back and sat down on the floor, dealing out enough cards.

Rykah slipped down to the floor, picking up the cards. "What game are we playing?" He asked trying to keep the sadness of earlier from creeping into his voice.

Will immediately blushed. Jack and Anna has tried to teach him card games other than Slapjack, Go Fish, and War many times, but failed miserably. So he said “I was thinking War.”

"Ok" said Rykah.
(I dunno what war is…)

(Oh it’s really fun. You should ask someone to teach you! Or look it up.)
The boys played several rounds of War, both of them slowly shaking off whatever sadness had been around earlier. Eventually, a knock came at the door. As Will said come in, his brother and sister appeared in the doorway.

Rykah turned to watch them carefully, trying not to tense up like last time.

“Is HE staying for dinner?” Jack asked, quite rudely, as Anna said, “Mom wants to know if Rykah odd staying for dinner.” She said it nicely, even smiling at Rykah. Will looked at Rykah questioningly.

"Its okay I can go now" said rykah not wanting to intrude

Will said, “If you want to stay you’re welcome to!”, Anna said, “You can stay, man, Mom loves cooking.”, and Jack just glared at Rykah.

Rykah shrunk under Jack's gaze, then stood up, "no I think I'm just gonna go" he said not taking his eyes off jack as he slipped out of the room and downstairs to get his bag.

“Rykah!” Will called, following him down the stairs.

Rykah froze, he finished shouldering his bag and turned to look at Will, He didn't say anything but he did turn to head for the door.

Will caught Rykah by the shoulder. “Wait…” He said quietly.

Rykah stopped, "Why.." he said quietly, "Its obvious I should go…"

“Why don’t we go to the park or something?” Will asked.
