Twili frowned a bit, but nodded a bit. She didn't look at Derlik, still shaken. She'd obviously experienced something similar before. Derlik smiled softly, a complete one eighty from how he was with Nik.
Twili frowned a bit, but nodded a bit. She didn't look at Derlik, still shaken. She'd obviously experienced something similar before. Derlik smiled softly, a complete one eighty from how he was with Nik.
Nik closed his eyes quietly, swallowing. Smoke mewed, purring and leaning into Derlik's touch.
Derlik held Smoke close, glad things had calmed down for the cat.
Smoke leaned into Derlik, still purring softly.
Derlik let out a soft sigh.
"Let's go back," he finally said.
Smoke looked up at him. "What about Nik?"
"Him too. You two need to eat, after all." Derlik stood, Smoke in his arms.
Smoke blinked, and nodded a little bit. "Okay." He replied.
Derlik motioned for Nik to stand up.
"Let's go then."
Nik looked up, standing. He didn't speak, though.
Twili stood as well, but with a look from Derlik winced back, she gave Nik one last apologetic look, then left. Derlik started back to his clearing, rubbing Smoke's back and expecting Nik to follow.
Nik was silent, quietly following Derlik, his arms tucked around his body.
Derlik walked up to the boulder, seeing Smoke down.
"Are you allergic to anything?" He asked, turning to Nik.
Nik shook his head a little. "No." Smoke shifted a little bit.
"Good. I'm going to be making omelettes." A matter of fact, not a question.
Nik nodded a little bit, not otherwise responding.
"Now, you two stay here," Derlik instructed, already heading for the trees.
"Harmony, where are the eggs?! Damnit, I told you to get them!" He'd already disappeared into the trees, but could be clearly heard.
Nik was silent, glancing over at Smoke for a moment and wondering why his cat got such better treatment than he had.
Derlik continued to yell for a bit longer, eventually coming back with three bowls in hand. He sat down next to Smoke, setting a bowl down for Nik.
Nik took the bowl quietly, looking down at the ground. Smoke reached for a bowl happily.
Derlik smiled gently.
"Enjoy," he said. He picked his fork up, beginning to eat.
Smoke purred softly. "Thank you." He looked at the bowl uncertainly, turning it in his hands to try and figure out how to eat it.
Derlik chuckled a bit, setting his bowl down.
"Like this." He cut off a piece of the omelette for Smoke, offering it to him.
Smoke cocked his head, leaning forward and licking up the piece of omelette, licking his lips after he was done chewing.
Derlik giggled a little.
"Do you want to try don't it?" He asked, offering Smoke the fork.
