"I'm not picking a fight. I'm warning him what's out there. So what if I have a bad tone, I'm telling him to not get himself killed!" Aaron responded. He wasn't snapping now, but he didn't sound happy either. Yet he didn't say anymore. Nysaxiope might come down and he already knew he wasn't liked, so he quieted to not stir up trouble. One thing that annoyed him though was that Nykidia was telling him to not start a fight. She wasn't the one barely conscious after the fights, so if he didn't have a problem with the consequences he didn't see why she did.
Nysaxiope quirked her head in question then let herself fall out of the window and caught herself a foot off of the ground. "What is it? Also, what's this white stuff?" Her voice then turned annoyed. "And why is he here?" She asked, pointing at Aaron.
Nykidia gave Aaron a glare and stuck out her tongue at him. "1. Not here. 2. That is snow. and 3. Because I want him here." Nykidia listed off. "Come on. Lets go!" She said as she started walking back to the casino.
Aaron frowned at Nysaxiope needing a reason for him to be there. What did she expect, for him to suddenly become a coward and run off in shame after their argument? He was a bit upset no one seemed to really enjoy his company, even when he was trying to try, but he growled so it didn't show. Other than that he was quiet, pulling his hood to cover his face more as he followed. He didn't know what to do in his silence. He couldn't summon a flame since Night would take it, and the only other magic he knew worked for fights. Eventually he summoned a small card, focusing on flipping it and watching the images change as he followed Nykidia. He was ignoring the others, trying to avoid a fight.
Nysaxiope followed the other girl. "Hm. Snow. That's new for me. By the way, what happened? How did you get Eberaus back?"
The woman continued to watch the pair. She has started to walk back to her room, Ryder still limp in her arms. Her head turned, violet eyes landing upon the woman who introduced herself as 'Cherry'.
The lady was silent for several moments, then finally bowed her head slightly before the other, responding, "Lady Sinann is the name that was given to me."
She straightened again, "I never did ask, what has brought you to my abode?"
A slight frown appeared on Sinann's face, "I've really been trying to keep low, to not draw attention to myself."
Eberaus instantly bristled. The skin along his arms and face seemingly rippled as scales appeared. The male's nails started to curve into claws as he growled.
"I never asked for you to follow or rescue me. You and the girl chose to follow, you had complete control to ignore and leave while you could."
His lips curled back, showing his fangs, "Shadow beasts…least back home…aren't a problem. They pose little threat compared to 'Abominations' or even the 'Corruption'."
As he mentioned the 'Corruption', the male's body actually seemed to shudder slightly at the thought. He would prove to not be as effective against such beasts compared to his fiery brethren. The rock drake just hoped that there was no thing like the 'Corruption' in this world.
Though, he did indeed not stick around long. As soon Aaron and Nykidia continued on their way, the rock drake broke off from the group. His tail trailed behind him, starting to slow down, but there was still the twitch of agitation there. His body still seemed to remain somewhat tense as he left them behind.
They continued to slowly walk down the path. Their jacket was pulled tightly around their body. They weren't really used to this cold weather, nor were they really made for it. Being a swamp/aquatic hydra, they were used to hot and humid areas, least when they were still back in their swampy home. So trying to adjust to this cold weather was proving to be difficult for them.
He suddenly sneezed, grumbling softly under his breath, "Damn…that's all we need, to get sick."
~W-we always seem t-t-to get sick at this t-t-time of year~.
~Thanks for stating the obvious~ Kirdairn said in a sarcastic tone. Though it soon turned into a cough ~For fu-…thanks for jinxing us now Faraneer~.
~S-sorry~ the other head's feeble voice came.
Lovino sits on top of a tree and watches them walk around. "wonder if I should intervene or not……." he takes a sip of his coffee.
The woman continued to watch the pair. She has started to walk back to her room, Ryder still limp in her arms. Her head turned, violet eyes landing upon the woman who introduced herself as 'Cherry'.
The lady was silent for several moments, then finally bowed her head slightly before the other, responding, "Lady Sinann is the name that was given to me."
She straightened again, "I never did ask, what has brought you to my abode?"
A slight frown appeared on Sinann's face, "I've really been trying to keep low, to not draw attention to myself."
"Oh?" Cherry tilted her head and smiled, showing extremely sharp teeth. "Oh. I smelled the blood, of course, it was a rarer type of blood and I wanted to experiment on it." She said with a mad scientist giggle.
Nykidia shivered slightly. Even though she loved snow and this weather, it was freezing. Night saw her shiver so she let go of the balls of fire and curled her wisp around Nykidia while wrapping her arms around Nykidia. Nykidia set her hands on Night's arms. "Thanks." She whispered as they reached the Casino. She pushed open the doors. Flyn was inside talking to some people when he saw Nykidia walk in. "Nykidia!" He said leaving the conversation he was in to hug her. "Are you OK? You didn't come back from lunch and I was getting worried." Flyn said with a worried look on his face. "Flyn, I'm fine. Like I've told you. I can handle my self." "I know it's just-" "I'm fine Flyn." She said as she slowly covered the cut on her arm from earlier. "I just need a change of clothes and a blanket and I can explain where I've been." Flyn sighed. "OK."
Nysaxiope coughed to bring attention to herself and raised her hand. "Uh, confused siren here, mind telling me what this place is?"
Aaron had the fire disappear, pulling down his hood as he stepped inside. He didn't say anything that might come off as picking a fight, staying quiet until Nysaxiope piped up with a question. "This is the Casino. Serves drinks and stuff. I stayed here the other night." He answered. He didn't say anything specific, Nykidia would know more, but he wanted to show he was trying to not be hostile. He didn't want to stay quiet just to not stir up trouble. He had trouble with it, muttering to himself when he wasn't in a conversation. A bad habit he didn't know the exact origins of.
(I'm going to bed guys. I'll post in the morning)
(Please don't let this die.)
"Come on." Nykidia said as she lead them into a back room. There was a fireplace to the end with couches and chairs near it. There were several blankets sitting folded on one couch. There was evergreen branches on top of the fireplace mantle. "I need a change of clothes. I'm sure you do to Aaron. Nysaxiope, make your self comfortable." She said as she went up a flight of stairs to get some clothes.
Nysaxiope took a seat on one of the couches. I wonder what they're going to tell me. They were definitely beat up, but they were just fighting that shark guy. She winced at the thought of Aaron yelling at her about how they didn't need her. What does he know? Nothing! He doesn't know what I'm capable of! I can fight too! Her face scrunched up in anger.
(Sorry for the late reply.)
Aaron frowned as Nysaxiope ignored him, following Nykidia to some back room. He watched her leave, standing awkwardly after being left with an angry siren. He was tired, but didn't sit down. He let his eyes drift over the room before they landed on the fireplace. He stared at the flames for a moment, dropping his gaze as he snapped out of whatever he was thinking. He didn't try to start a conversation, instead muttering quietly about something to himself. Nysaxiope obviously wasn't happy he was here. So if she actually felt like talking she could, but he wouldn't start small talk.
Nysaxiope glanced at Aaron standing awkwardly. She shot him a glare. "I see you made it through without a plan like I calmly suggested, but what part of 'don't contact me or my restaurant' don't you understand?" She snapped at him. Because of her powers, it was even stronger and sharper than a normal person's would be. "Like, I understand that we had just been fighting, but that doesn't give you an excuse to let go of normal decency! What kind of person yells at someone who's making an effort to help. That may not have been my 100%, but I was still helping!" She frowned. "This is the second time in the first day I've met you that you've pissed me off. Kind of sets up what kind of person you are." A jerk. He's a huge jerk. He did try to comfort me earlier but… this is the second time he's pissed me off. I don't even get angry easily!
Nykidia went up stairs to her room and got a change of clothes for her self. She slipped on some comfy PJ's and went to go find Aaron some clothes. She could hear Aaron and Nysaxiope arguing down stairs. "Was leaving them alone a good idea?" Night asked. "Probably not. I expected Aaron to follow me up stairs but apparently he didn't want to. Aha!" She said finding some clothes that looked about Aaron's size. Maybe a little big but they were clothes. She slide down the stair railing and landed at the bottom. "I got you a change of clothes." She said throwing Aaron's clothes at him.
Aaron flinched at Nysaxiope's words as he stopped muttering, meeting her gaze only for a moment before looking to the side. "I know, I'm not good with people. I let myself get angry, and when I'm angry I don't think straight. Usually I try to push people away because I mess everything up." Maybe it was him being tired, or simply getting hurt in every fight so far, but he didn't raise his voice, "I tried to just send the others, but either way we need to tell you something." He looked to Nykidia as she said something, barely catching the clothes she threw. He went quiet as he left room for her to talk. He wasn't always just angry, he was trying to do the right thing. This he was trying to convince himself of with reasoning and cheerful moments he didn't say aloud as he looked to the ground, listening to what the others might say as his fingers twitched nervously.
Nykidia looked at Nysaxiope. "So what happened?" She said as she sat down on one of the couches. "I know you don't know Aaron and frankly I don't know him well either but I know one thing. You and Aaron have more in common then you think."
