~Aiyenna's Island in Ruins~ ((Semi-lit ~ Always Accepting))

Shaily paced across the deck, listening to the waves slapping against the boat. The wind seemed to blow around leaving her hair in a mess, even though she tried to keep it in one place. Her eyes watched the sky as well as everything else on deck. She didn't bother with her book, it wasn't like it would go overboard or anything. But just to be sure she let her eyes lead themselves to were her book lied. There the book lied un-touched. She let her eyes wander back to te sky waiting for any signs of birds or something.

Ali grinned, he was just digging himself deeper into his hole with that comment. She raised an eyebrow at him skeptically, still smirking. "Oh really? Am I allowed to test that theory?" Ali asked. A knife seemed to appear in her hand from out of no where, and she pointed it threateningly at his toes.

((No worries Chadanaiy! I have some off days where I just don't feel like writing to much also. Glad that your back and posting! :3.
Also Krona, here it is: right now the two tiger princesses (Shaily and Vanendra) are head to the uh... Panthers.. I can't believe I forget. It's either the leopard kingdom. The fox princess (Mable) is going to the Lion Kingdom to propose an alliance. There's not really anything happening in the other kingdoms.

EDIT: Thanks Chadanaiy and Wildmagic.. I hadn't read your posts before I posted to see that you quoted the recaps last page. I only skimmed momentarily xD. I had actually pmed Wowhow they said they'd been having troubles but if they don't post soon one of you may take over their character if you like. ))


Nio eyed her knife warily and watched as it moved uncomfortably close to his toes. "That's not what I was getting at, Ali," he stammered and he slowly backed away from the girl before him. Even if Ali herself didn't intimidate him he knew all to well what she could do with a blade, no matter the size. She wouldn't do that to him for real though, right? "Few have already tested it, I'm sure you don't want to end up like them," Nio spoke up once more trying to redeem himself.

[Chadanaiy]

(( Thanks Saeli :3 So... Well personally I dislike taking over others' characters. It's not a problem, I imagine I can wait until wowhow is available and I do seem to be doing okay in the art of beating around the bush... ^^''))

Ali held back an amused grin as Nio stuttered and followed him as he backed away, laughter peeking out of her eyes. She wouldn't really cut any of his toes off, but it was fun to mess with Mio, and he'd given her a opening she couldn't help but take. "I wouldn't? How did they end up?" Ali asked, raising an eyebrow at him, waving the knife around threateningly. The waving was well controlled though so she wouldn't hurt him, or herself. She hadn't made mistakes like that in years.

[Saeli]

Nio's backward pacing stopped as he saw the laughter in her eyes. That was enough for him to know she was kidding. Letting out a sigh of relief Nio silently scolded himself before he spoke once more. "They ended up with a knife through their heart," Nio responded adding a slight growl at the end of his sentence. There was now a half smile playing on his face still tainted by his uneasy one.

"If you want me to understand you," replied the captain now that he was in his human skin, "You're going to have to shift out and speak Common." Walking forwards, he yanked the lockpicking kit from the door and pocketed it. "And I don't think you'll have to worry about the owner of this- not for long, anyways." When the tigress was safely in her room, the captain closed the door and didn't wait for her to lock it. He had more important things that needed attending to. For one, he needed to find Willkes and get him down here on the double to mop up this blood. It wouldn't do to have the morning shift come downstairs to find the floor congealing like rotted meat.

Turning around, the man strode back up the passage and climbed the ladder, thumping the hatch shut behind him. His boots were covered in blood, and he only realized that he was tracking it across the deck when he came to the door of the mess cabin. Opening it, he stepped in and whistled to alert the crew to his presence. Six games of dice, four of cards, and three drinking competitions ended abruptly. "Lieutenant Willkes, front and center." The black man stood up, snapping off a salute before striding forwards. "Yes, sir?" The captain turned around and strode out of the hall. A small wave of laughter rippled through the crew as Willkes followed the captain out onto the deck. He was in for something, that was for sure. Oh, how had Willkes screwed up? That was the chatter that started now. As far as anyone knew, the dark man had had a perfect record of service.

Vane grunted, not really in the mood to shift back into her human form. But once the door was closed she decided it would be best if she cleaned up. So shifting into her normal form, she locked the door and looked down at the sundress she had worn for the day. The soft black fabric was smeared and stained with blood. The princess frowned and wiped her blood covered hands on her dress. "Well I should probaby change" she muttered to herself as she looked through her bags for something comfy to wear.

"Is that so?" Ali replied thoughtfully, trying hard not to grin at him. "Hmm, well I might just chance it, because I don't think you could get to me fast enough." She replied in a teasing tone, smirking a little at him.

[Saeli]

At those words Nio stepped closer to her being sure to position his feet just so the blade could not go through his boots if it fell. His hand slid up to her wrist where the knife was being held and a small smirk danced on his own face. "Are you sure you want to try it, Ali?" Nio's voice held a hint of teasing and he left off the usual nicknames he would have chosen for this moment had their little chat not happened.

[~Erica~]

Ali just smiled in as unsettling a way as she could manage and tapped the tip of the blade lightly against his arm. "I don't know Nio, maybe, maybe not." She replied in a teasing tone. "You may not know till its to late." She wasn't really going to do anything, but the playful banter was just fun. It was nice to have a little fun, and be silly, if dangerously so.

[Saeli]

Nio watched her mouth turn into one of her famous grins and he matched it with his own. He could tell the girl was still playing around and knew there was nothing to worry about. His hand slid up her wrist to clasp his hand around hers making sure the knife could not slip through. "I think I'll be fine. I've learned all your tricks remember?"
