Augustus had come across many idiotic people. Not that he ever called them stupid or things like that, but he did ofte think of how idiotic people could be. Arrogance wasn't something Augustus liked. At all. It was idiotic for many reasons, and made people reckless just to show off. Reckless. Another thing that Augustus could not stand. Why be reckless? Life was so precious, being reckless could easily kill you. Skye was proof that being reckless got one nto stupid situations, and hurt you. In truth, no one was like Augustus. Augustus even though that, but not out of any pride or anything. In fact, he wondered why he was so odd in compairison to others. No one he had met was even close to being like him. Sometime....he just wanted someone to understand. Another reason he had connected with Skye. Skye understood one part of him that no one else did, namely being a pet of some sadistic person. Skye was free of that, thankfully, but it was something that would haunt him his whole life. Augustus wasn't free of it, and it was very unlikely that he ever would be. Augustus knew, or at least thought he knew, where the path of his life lay. No matter how hard he tried to make his own path, he was either forced back onto the path others had put out for him, or he couldn't leave people behind, so was in a way 'forced' back onto the path again. Nothing was simple for Augustus. It never had been and never would be. Life wasn't easy, and Auggie had come to know and accept that a long time ago. Regarding Skye being nothing like his toddler self, Augustus would find that out, and it would hit him. Hard. Somewhere he had the small hope that this Skye might be somewhat similar, even if that was an idea he knew was wrong from what he had read and filed about the boy. "Yes you are alive. I will do everything in my power to keep you that way, little one. Another thing I swear by my own life...." Dipping his head to the boy, Auggie seemed a bit...happy when Skye said that he knew. Good. The boy needed to know that of all people on that earth, Auggie was the one to trust. Wren hated the Council? Augustus knew that many people disliked them, or hated them, but Skye kept stressing that....so...Auggie, when he had some free time, would have to read up on Wren. That was, if his files contained what Skye kept stressing about... "Well then...I will be taking you along, Skye. You will have your chance to speak with him. My first concern, however, is your saftey. These drugs for Caesar would just be a bonus." When Skye said that it wasn't that bad, and then tried to sit up, Augustus tried to stand up immediately to push the boy gently back down, but he couldn't. Instead he just gave a pained and slightly startled cry, facial expression showing his obvious pain. The hand that wasn't gripping the phone was digging into the arm of the chair. Damn Medical Lithius. They must not have fixed him up right. A startling conclusion came to his mind, and he knew what had happened. Oh...No. "My dear Skye, please...don't do that again, yes?" Moving his chair further up near Skye's head when the boy rolled over, Augustus began talking back to Jan. "He's not maimed....but I am no Medical Lithius, Jan. Do what you can on your end. And Skye's saftey and life is always my first priority. You of all people would know that....." When one of his Servants began poking him in the side of the head repeatedly, Augustus gave a growl, trying to push the Servant's hand away. When the Servant persisted, before whining and then poking his side, Augustus gave a loud, 'OK!' before shoving the phone at the Servant. He figured Jan was mostly done speaking with him anyways. "Skye. Do you want to rest again? If so I can let you, though I will remain in the room."
The Servant that had been annoying Auggie was, of course, Aleia. Giving a happy little sound when Auggie gave the phone to him, Aleia spoke into it in his usual overly sweet and flirty voice. "Janny! I've missed you since...last time." Giggling after that he watched as Auggie shot him a glare, and he returned with sticking out his tongue. "You're probably busy....but I just wanted to say hi.....you know...since you never gave me some fancy little phone." Saying that, Aleia obviously sounded jealous, before his sweet little voice came back. "Anyways~ You probably need to go. But visit me again sometime, kay sweetheart?"

Then poor Auggie, as Skye was both arrogant and incredibly reckless, not to mention unable to look ahead and see consequences of what he did. Augustus was selfless to an almost ridiculous extent, and the opposite of Skye in just about every way. Except for, of course, the trauma. Adell was dead and Skye was free of her, but people like Mark and Caesar showed up to wreck further hell in his life. Augustus and Skye couldn't have turned out more differently though. The true Skye was violent and selfish, sadly for Auggie. "Thanks again..." Wren hated the Council, it was a personal matter of sorts. An old matter, so normally it probably wouldn't be in the records if Wren, if Wren hadn't shouted at a few of them in the pat few years or so. Namely "You killed him!" Skye knew about the issue; he also didn't want to talk about it. That quote had probably gone in some record, given it had been accompanied by an explosion. Even back then Wren had... chemical-bomb issues. "...Doesn't sound like it'll go badly, eh? Assuming he doesn't try to kill you." Trying to stand up was, to say the least, a terrible on Skye's part. It hurt, and more importantly, made it hard to breath. Despite immediately needing to sit, there was no missing the look of pain on Augustus' face. Skye failed to understand the possible severity, but still looked worried. "Same to you." It was a bit difficult for him not to blush a tiny bit and look away when Augustus stressed that his life came first. How Auggie could even say that was beyond him. Skye had only really known him a day, since viewed his toddle self practically as another person. When Auggie pushed the phone at someone else, Skye merely looked bewildered, especially once Aleia began talking. "Probably a good idea..." Skye admitted, before his gaze wandered back over to the highly distracting -and to Skye, highly unnerving, especially since he barely remembered him from their brief meeting while he was a toddler. "Can you get... That to leave?" Skyr wasn't sure whether to use 'he' or 'she' and decided on 'that' to refer to the creepy... Person. Jan meanwhile had merely told Augustus that he would, when suddenly Aleia's voice rang through the phone. "Huh, Aleia? It's only been a few days..." Jan had hardly forgotten Aleia, given what happened the last time they met... He groaned lightly at Aleia's obvious jealously, giving a shake of his head the other boy surely couldn't see. "Hey, those phones are for business, I can't just hand them out. Remind your twin he needs to give that back, eh?" Jan was in his 'not-six-year-old-mercenary' mode, at least sounding much more mature seeming then his younger other side. "Sadly I do...I think someone saw me-" like earlier said, Jan was in a tree outside the Council building, and someone had just hurried inside after wandering near him. On that note, Jan lightly jumped down, hurrying away. "Do you Council people usually watch the trees to the front left? I'll try to visit when I can, I promise, but Caesar doesn't exactly like having me there."

[ElementalInsanity]

Poor Augustus indeed. But then again, this was Augustus. He had that 'love everyone because they are great on the inside and deserve it and they are people and need to be loved and blah blah' kind of attitude. He was also a hopeless romantic, believe it or not, if he had the right person. Anyways, learning to love this new side of Skye, the actual Skye, wouldn't be hard even if it would be an adjustment. Somehow Auggie had just thought that when Skye went back to his actual self, he would be somewhat like the adorable and sweet toddler that he had fallen in love with. Augustus and Skye were so different....perhaps what Augustus had once thought would be possible, was actually impossible. But not matter what, he was there to protect the other boy. That wasn't something he was going to change. "Of course, little one." Augustus didn't know much about Wren, he only had what his files had. Which wasn't much. Wren had been fairly good at hiding his life and existence from the Council. Though surely if Wren had shouted that and then tried to blow up a few Council Members, that would be on record. Auggie would be intrigued, he was a very curious person, to learn about this hatred for the Council. Though Augustus knew many a person had reason to hate the Council. And if it involved killing someone, more then likely Wren's anger should be aimed at Caesar.....or perhaps another one of the Council Members? They would have to just wait and find out once Wren revealed that part of his life. "Try he might. Hopefully that will not happen. So long as you are not harmed, however, I see no problem with it if it does happen." Skye had not been smart in trying to move. Though neither had Augustus. "You need not worry about me, Skye.Though I do appreciate your concern." Was the reply Skye got, though obviously Auggie had been slightly happy to hear that someone actually...well not cared. No one did. But minded. It was nice to be noticed every once in a while, even if it was selfish. Augustus looked confused when Skye blushed, and he reached his hand over to check the boy's forehead to make sure the boy didn't have a sudden fever or something. Not understand why the boy was blushing, Augustus just gave him a questioning look, before watching Skye look at Aleia... Augustus felt a small flash of.....annoyance, before realizing that Skye was looking at Aleia out of bewilderment. Oh. Embarrassed at the feeling he had got, he just gave a small chuckle when Skye told him to get 'that' to leave."'That' is my twin, Skye. I forgot that you hadn't officially met him. Once he returns my phone I will get him to leave if that is what you wish."
Aleia gave a giggle when he heard Jan's voice, before he ran a hand across the table gently, staring at the floor. "I know it has been. But still. I mean...like...well Janny, hun. I still can miss ya after just a few days considering what we did...." Giving another idiotic and goofy little giggle after that, it squeaked at one point out of embarrassmet, Aleia gave a pout when he heard Jan's groan. "Business?!" Aleia whined out, before giving a huff. "Come on, babe! It's not like I'm saying hand them out! But really? I mean...not even one for me? It's not like I'm a random person of the street....Jaaannnyyy." Aleia whined out again, his voice sounded very....well whiny. "Oh. You'll get the phone back. But sweetie, you'll have to get it from me once Auggie's done with it. Mmhhm. And Council people...? Heehee. Yeah, we usually watch everything around the Council Building, baby. And yes, you need to come visit me. Or better yet, maybe we can set up some time every week or something? Yeah. That sounds good....Well sweetheart, Auggie's giving me his death glare. So if you need to go....I probably should too. But baby! We need to get together again, ok? Last time was...so fun and pleasurable, yeah? We could do it again. Mmm. I just wish I could see you right now~"

[Noel]

Skye had the 'hate everyone because even if they seem nice they are surely evil and should be hurt' attitude, which could prove problematic when interacting with Auggie. Two more opposite people would be hard to find, which was just so strange given the cause of their bizarre personalities was the same. Skye didn't say much more, giving a small yawn a his vision began to glaze over. Naturally he was tired when even breathing was difficult. Simply icing a small nod I his head to show that he heard, Skye rolled onto his back, twisting his head so he could still watch 'that' and Augustus. Wren had indeed shouted that before setting of a small series of explosions, one of the events that really started him being hunted. Skye knew the details, but didn't elaborate. Wren in fact didn't know the killer's exact identity, so he blamed the Council in it's entirety. Thus Wren's immeasurable hatred for them. With any luck all, Auggie would get what he needed for Caesar long before Wren's memory returned. "Someone doesn't care much for their other Council members." Skye noted simply. To him, it wasn't a big deal. He hated the Council too, but obviously not Augustus. Auggie was just generally an exception to things.  "If he doesn't  know I'm alive though, we could both end up getting killed." Note: No one had told Skye Wren was amnesiac yet. Skye had no idea; he had been a toddler when it was discussed. He still thought Wren had his memories. Like how Augustus didn't realize why he was blushing, Skye didn't know why Auggie randomly tested him for fever. Hearing that 'that' was Auggie's twin, Skye gave a mock wince. "My sympathies." Was all he said, before also glaring at Aleia to give the damned phone back to Augustus so he could sleep. Jan was thinking along slightly similar lines; it was hard to get away from potential pursues while talking on a phone. Despite being in his more serious mode, Jan's face and partially tone were one of sheer confusion. He knew what they had done... and was beginning to get a feeling it meant more then he had thought it did. "I'm busy, sorry... I'll try to come once I can!" What was with that strange tone of Aleia's? Jan didn't understand at all. "Yeah, I have to communicate with the people who pay me somehow. Hey! I didn't have a spare with me when I was there, okay? And I need that phone back!" Jan's tone was light, a bit joking, and as always confused. "For godsake Aleia, I'm not a baby! I'm eighteen!" Yup. Jan still didn't understand that little name, obviously. Having gotten away from the Council building with nothing more then a few scrapes from branches, Jan once again had to return to business. "I don't know...but sometime soon. I've gotta go anyways, see you."

[ElementalInsanity]

Skye and Augustus were so opposite it wasn't even funny. And people had thought that Wren and Ari were pretty opposite and odd together. Nothing in comparison to Skye and Auggie. Then again, Augustus and Skye weren't a couple and with Skye's attitude towards anything like that, it was unlikely they would ever be one. Not saying that Augustus....well actually...Auggie had no idea. Skye was so young, Auggie was much older. But they did share....one common interest. Other then that they had really nothing in common. Well....they both put Skye's life, safety, and comfort first. They both had trauma in their past that was similar... Watching the other boy carefully as he turned onto his back, Auggie rolled his chair sideways so that his arm could reach over and tuck the boy in further. "You need to rest Skye. Go ahead and close your eyes, little child. I will stay here, and send Aleia out." Wren might not know for sure the killer's identity, but it was a safe bet that Caesar did it, since the boy had ben into killing anythingand everything before Rei came along. "I care for everyone, Skye. Some less then others, true, as anyone could see with my....affections for you....." Augustus didn't hate anyone. At times, yes, he hated them. But it never lasted long, because soon he got ahold of his emotions and fixed that unpleasant and unneeded feeling. "Well yes, that could be a problem. But he first needs to regain his memory of you, and us. So I believe we will be fine for a small while, at least until I can get you back to him." No one had told Skye about it, Augustus hadn't thought to, but at least Skye was learning about it now. Chuckling when Skye winced, Augustus gave a shrug. "He is family, and loyal. That is all I care about. Though he is annoying at times when he wont give me my phone back!" The last line, of course, was directed at Aleia, who stuck out his tongue before flipping his brother off. Augustus narrowed his eyes, before shaking his head and looking back at Skye. That was one thing. Augustus was totally different when he was around his brother. More...playful, joking, not as 'polite' or 'gentlemanly' sounding. Not like he was a totally different person or something. He was just....different. Aleia didn't know that Jan had no clue aout the seriousness of what they had done. Then again how could he? Aleia was someone he barely knew, and they had done it...casusally, almost. "I'm busy too! But you could still....I don't know! Come or somethinnnnggg. And I never said you didn't have to communicate with people you're doing business for. I was just saying you coulda given me one. Fine. You didn't have a spare. But still! And sweetie, you'll get this back when you come and get it from me. Kay?" Aleia gave a roll of his eyes, crossing one of his arms over. "I know your not a baby, Jan! Ugh. Fine. I'll let you go. We'll see if you actually take the time out of your 'busy scheduale' to come see me." Rude much? Indeed. Most of the last part was said with a rude and 'whatever' kind of tone and attitude, before Aleia was tossing the phone back to Augustus. Waving a hand, Aleia spoke before Augustus had a chance, leaving the boy with his mouth slightly agape. "Yeah. I heard. Your dumb little pet child there wants me gone. Fine. Whatever. I'm done with you all anyways." All but stomping out of there, Augustus watched his brother leave, before giving a small groan. Good thing he was a good catch, the phone wasn't like...broken or anything, though he doubted it would be after Jan had tossed it to him. Holding his head in his hands, having a sudden headache appear, Auggie looked up at Skye from his position. "Do you believe you can manage to sleep on your own, or shall I get someone to give you something again, dear little child?"

Wren and Ari were certainly different, that was for sure, one reckless and ambitious, the other gentle and well, innocent. Skye and Augie though could not have been less similar. A violent, rather simple-minded young boy and the somewhat older, wiser, and selfless one? Not a pairing anyone would see coming, and probably not one that would happen given both of their attitudes towards that sort of thing, mostly Skye's, who rejected even the idea of anything like that. Skye rolled his eyes in the manner of 'I'm not that young' when Augustus further tucked him into the bed. But he was still holding onto that bear despite everything, so despite being sixteen the young side of him that wanted that sort of comfort clearly remained. Not responding, Skye merely closed his eyes as he had been told with a yawn. He was tired, for good reasons, given that breathing alone was exhausting for him. The issue was Wren didn't even know if it was the Council, let alone Caesar, he merely placed the blame on the entire Council so he could have someone to blame. Skye's eyes snapped back open as someone finally thought to tell him that Wren was amnesiac, looking shocked. He knew that amnesia came from head wounds... but then again Wren had been taken but must have escaped... "He lost his memory?! ...Damn. He better remember me, or I swear..." Wren was one of now two actual 'friends' of Skye's, and the only one to have known him for more then a few weeks. The idea that Wren could have completely forgotten him was a terrifying one... Shaking his head, Skye reclosed his eyes and decided just not to think about it, to wait and see what happened. It was older memories, which, not that Skye knew that, were more likely to be recalled. "This is why I'm glad I don't have siblings." Skye remarked simply, trying not to even look at Aleia as best he could. Well, no siblings he had seen since he was eight, which was all Skye cared about. His family was practically some past life to him now, even though they were probably still alive. Adell had, in those two years, just made his entire childhood fall away. Skye didn't really notice the change in Auggie's behavior, he just rarely noticed things like that at all.
"I could, but then Caesar could get pissy. I doubt either of us want that." Jan's tone was still light; he was a child and didn't really understand Aleia's feelings. A few days was nothing to him. "I know, I know, I'll stop by as soon as I can and take my phone back." Still a light tone, Jan still failing to understand that Aleia was even being rude, because Jan was still oblivious like that. Having found a bench to sit down on, he was just waiting for the call to end so he could restart business. "Hey! I just said I would!" Jan pouted through the phone, not able to hear anything more as the phone had closed. Ah well, like said, back to work.
Skye reacted terribly to what Aleia called him. 'Pet'. Aleia had the nerve and poor thinking to use pet, of all things that was the worst possible thing. Skye had heard every insult there was to be heard and reacted poorly to each and every one, but after Adell 'pet' had disastrous effects. It started with a flinch, before being followed by rage. Before Aleia even got halfway to the door, Skye had grabbed a pillow and thrown it at the back of the boy's head, somehow staggering to his feet again as if he could possibly hurt Aleia. "Yeah? Well you can go burn in hell, you idiotic flirty bastard!" Oh yes, Skye reacted just wonderfully to insults. "What did you to Jan, huh? Rape him? Seems like something you'd do!" Skye actually made it about three steps, looking around for anything else he could possibly throw. The bear was not an option, he had left it on the bed anyways. A shoe? That worked. Skye had flipped it into his hand it one quick motion, already flinging it at any part of Aleia he could possibly hit.

[ElementalInsanity]

Wren and Ari were different. Skye and Auggie were just......complete opposites. One was an angel, the other was like a devil. One filled with love and everything of the like, the other completely violent and hated nearly everyone. Now, Skye may have an attitude toward love or being a couple. Augustus certainly did not. In fact, that was something he wanted more then anything. Someone to love more then life and anything else, who would love him back, even if they didn't love him back completely like he loved them. Augustus was a sweet and actually romantic little guy. The type to get you random flowers or something. Though he really couldn't picture giving Skye....flowers. No, Augustus wanted a relationship...though perhaps not with....a sixteen year old. People would accuse him of being a pedophile or something of that sort. Augustus just wasn't one that could stand to be touched. A random hug....he had grown used to from Skye. As Augustus was the exception for Skye, Skye was the exception for Auggie. In most things. But when Skye in his toddler form had kissed his neck? Big no no, that even he freaked out about. But just like with Rosalee, Augustus wanted to grab Skye into his arms and hold him, stay in that peaceful position with the boy forever. But it was not his wants or feelings that mattered. No indeed. It was Skye's. "Yes. I am sorry, Skye. I was sure that you had been aware of that situation." But then Skye was closing his eyes again, and Augustus said nothing more just going to let the boy sleep. "Siblings are interesting things, yes. But they are nice to have.....sometimes...." Augustus just watched his brother, shaking his head, before retucking Skye in again, given it was the only thing that he could do right then. Augustus winced when Aleia talked, before suddenly Skye was getting up onto his feet. Damn it. Not wanting to run over the boy, Augustus had to pull forwards in his chair, before turning around. Aleia, on the other hand, was now gripping the pillow in his hand, wondering what the hell was going on. Pillow fight? "Oh. Burning in hell would be fun. So long as there were some guys around that I could get with." Aleia didn't seem affected by that, though he had given an odd and girlie yell when the pillow had been thrown at his head. "Now please, take your little pillow back and don't throw it again. It messed up my hair. You know how long it takes me to do this in the morning? Way too long, sweetypie." Aleia watched Skye, amused by the boy. Aleia may not be the strongest Lithius, but he could sure as hell take this weak little boy on. Not that he would, of course. It would mess up his clothes, makeup, and hair. And oh god just think of the stain that blood would do on his dress! Turning a bright red when Skye asked if he had raped Jan, Aleia looked down. No. He hadn't....exactly....Jan had been willing dammit! But the boy hadn't....known....what the hell had been going on.... "I'm no Caesar, Skye sweety. As I'm sure you would know from experience from being his little....pet for a while." When the shoe came flying at him Aleia gave a very high-pitched screech and giving another when the shoe the side of his abdomen. "Hey! What the hell man!?" Augustus, on the other hand, had come up behind Skye, before he gently wrapped his arms around the boy and pulled him into his lap. "Skye, my dear little one. Please calm down. You are weak, and I do not want you walking around for fear of you hurting yourself. It's already hard for you, and I know you can't breathe well, my dear. Please just calm down, Skye. For me? If you bring attention to this room, people will come and it will not be pleasant for me. Plus, my dear child, you need to rest. Surely you shouldn't be walking around throwing things?" Aleia just stuck out his tongue at Skye, before, as usual, flipping him off. "Yeah. Do what your little caretaker says, idiot. Calm down and stop attacking me with random items!" A sharp glare from Auggie and Aleia was shrinking back. "Enough. Leave, Aleia."

[Noel]

A devil and angel was a fitting way to describe Auggie and Skye, although the latter wasn't quite a devil. Maybe the tormented and vicious underling of a devil, since Skye was nothing in comparison to Caesar or Adell.  Either way, complete opposites. For a great many reasons, one being immaturity plain and simple, Skye practically hated anything romantic at all. Brother-type love like he had with Wren, or just being friends, didn't bother him. Anything else yes. Technically their age gap was eight years, except that Skye looked and acted even younger, so it was hard to view him as sixteen. The normal Skye couldn't bear touching or hugging, even the small things Auggie did had a tendency to make him twitch. It was sad, to be honest. Like earlier said Skye was refusing to think about the very possibility that Wren wouldn't remember him. That couldn't happen, not after eight years of surviving together. Thus, Skye merely shrugged and commented about not able to remember much from his time as a toddler if it had been mentioned then. "I'm glad I don't have any." Skye answered on the matter of siblings, looking at Aleia like some strange foreign species. (S)he was just do strange to Skye's little mind that couldn't tell what the heck Aleia was. However a minute later Aleia was still talking. When Aleia told him to take the pillow back, Skye had stalked over as best a weakened boy could. Snatching it back, Skye then tried to shove it against the boy(?)'s face, some he seemed to care about his hair so much. Giving a tiny startled sound when Auggie's arms pulled him back, Skye tried not to fight against him, struggling to so much as hear what he was saying. Calm. Breathing. He needed to...Skye's breath had grown strained and fast even from that simple effort, after all. Skye was about to say something in reply, already half-biting into his lip to make himself calmer, when  that word reached him again. Pet. Of Caesar's. Deliberately said. Skye snarled, and a moment later, snapped. Hands clenching up and gritting his teeth together, Skye once again lost a mental battle against fury. Shoving himself out of Augustus's grasp, Skye somehow managed to flip his other shoe into his hand, flinging that Aleia's head. "You bastard! You  crazed, perverted bastard!" Skye could barely breath, and he managed to lunge at Aleia just a moment after throwing his remaining shoe. He didn't need to her Aleia's comment about his 'caretaker' or see the tongue stuck out, though  Skye did, to try to full-out attack him. Weak he was, but Skye rarely played fair. Simultaneously aiming a punch to his antagonist's face and a knee to the low gut, Skye's expression was murderous. " Not like Caesar, are you, little rapist bastard? Just die!" Oh god, he could barely breath, it felt like his lungs were empty and he was surely pale... But Siye didn't care. Aleia needed to suffer before he passed out.

[ElementalInsanity]

Perhaps devil was too harsh a term for Skye. Though at times it could be said to be true concerning him. It wasn't surprising about Skye's immaturity, the boy was immature in practically everything. And Skye had never been one for a relationship. Really, could anyone at all see him in a relationship, actually saying 'I love you' or something like that? Of course not. It just wasn't something that Skye seemed capable of. Heaven knows Ari tried hard enough to get Skye in a relationship, but then again Skye had hated Ari so...Perhaps not the best example. It was very hard to view Skye as sixteen. It wasn't as if he looked oh-so-young but he sure didn't look his age, no. Nor did he act it. Augustus looked younger as well, around eighteen or so. Though Augustus wasn't one that ould say he acted younger then his age. Far from it, in fact he acted much older and wiser then quite a number of older ones. Yet he was still just twenty-four, still just a young person. But immature wasn't a word that could be used to describe Augustus. Skye, yes, Auggie....perhaps with how he acted around his brother, but otherwise a big no. Giving a small chuckle, he managed a small shrug. "Perhaps you do not have any quite like mine, but you do have Wren, no?" Aleia was surprised to see Skye actually being able to walk, as was Augustus. Skye shouldn't be walking. He needed to be resting. When Skye shoved the pillow into his face, Aleia gave a small shriek, backing up and ripping the pillow out of Skye's hands, tossing it at the boy's head. His aim being quite terrible, he missed by far and the pillow landed near Auggie's feet. "Oh. My. God. Don't freaking do that! Augh! Do you know how hard it is to do my makeup?" Was the whined out reply before Aleia stomped is foot on the ground. Now he probably looked a mess. Auggie, on the other hand, had grabbed the pillow quickly and set it back onto Skye's bed, before having grabbed Skye. When the boy gave a startled sound, Auggie gave him a quick and quiet, "Sorry, dear little child." But then the boy wasn't struggling, so Auggie's grip loosened, and he gently set his head against Skye's back. But then Skye was out of his arms again, throwing something at Aleia's head. Aleia gave another little screech, sheilding his head with his hands. "Oh my god! What are you trying to do!? What if I freaking got a bruise or something?!" But then Skye's knee was connecting with his lower gut. Giving an 'oof' sound, Aleia immediately began crying when Skye's fist hit his face, and he was falling over backwards. When he hit the groud, he of course didn't stop crying. His face turning red again when Skye continued talking, Aleia waved his hands in front of him, like when you'd see some typical girl 'cat fight' on television or something. "I promise I didn't! I didn't do that! How was I supposed to freaking know he didn't know what it was?! WAAAAA!" Aleia cried out. Augustus gave a simple eyetwitch. That....confession of Aleia's was quite disturbing.... but Augustus wasn't able to get up. He could move somewhat, but one of his legs hurt terrible when he tried to move it...so standing up wasn't an option. "Skye! Skye, dear little child. Stop." Augustus pleaded with Skye, looking around nervously. He had already been taken off the Council. He didn't want to think of what would happen if Marcellus came back. Would they hurt Skye? Would they hurt Aleia? Trying to stand up once again, trying and failing to ignore the pain from his leg, Auggie gave a pained sound. Aleia just kept hitting at the air in front of him. "Yeah....stop....you idiot! AUGGIE! Freaking control your....pet!"

[Noel]

It did fit Skye, but it was just that when compared to Adell or Caesar, everyone seemed an angel, even the vicious Skye. Immature he was, it would be a long while yet before Skye realized Auggie had more feelings then just friendship. Given he looked younger and acted younger still, Skye's attitude towards the matter was unsurprising. Augustus might look eighteen, but he acted far older, so that mattered little. Not having had the time to respond to Auggie pointing out that while he didn't have siblings, Skye had Wren, the young child remained focused on his goal: hurt Aleia. Hurt him badly enough that he would never dare to say that again. When Aleia shrieked, even if just because of a pillow, a dark grin began to spread across Skye's face. Oh yes, he had forgotten how great it was to actually be able to hurt the people who tormented him. It had been far too long... Giving a satisfied smirk when his knee connected with Aleia's gut, only lack of breath made his laughter silent. This was great. "You deserve worse the a goddamned bruise!" Skye snarled back; this was a boy who had gone through hell multiple times over, a bruise meant nothing to him. That happy little smirk of his returned when his fist hit Aleia's face. Not a hard blow, true, but the immediate satisfaction made it worth it many times over for Skye. Watching Aleia just fall over, attacking the air in front of him...priceless. And Aleia, to Skye anyways, deserved it. Hearing that confession, he looked merely confused, before rage once again consumed the now heavily-breathing and near sheet white child. He didn't understand much of that, but Skye though he did. They did 'that'. That disgusting thing. About to kick Aleia, Skye froze up when Augustus spoke. Calm, he really needed to, every breath was hurting terribly. "Sorry-" Skye started, before the fallen boy spoke. He had called him a pet again, of Augusus. He dared to say that again. Skye's gaze snapped away from Augustus instantly , the need to calm forgotten. "You damned bastard! Just hurry up and die already!" Skye half screamed, whipping around to kick at Aleia. While he did hit the boy, it was a terribly weak blow. There was just no air to breath, and Skye was red from the effort and more then a little light headed. Hissing in frustration as he legs gave out underneath him, Skye swore loudly, his small hands already going for Aleia's neck. He could jut... The boy deserved it... But Skye didn't even manage to touch Aleia, let alone strangle him, as he doubled over in pain. He couldn't breath, on god, he couldn't breath. Face turning from enraged to panicked, Skye practically began to claw at his chest, as if that would make air get the hell into his lungs and stop hurting so much. He couldn't breath...
