Ari wasn't really fond of the idea of Skye having a violent mood-swing either. Because last time he had, it had been the fight with Mark. And that had just kinda....sucked. For obvious reasons. Plus just the idea of Skye having a mood-swing like that, right now? He was like a toddler. It didn't seem like that would happen... And thinking about it...an allergic reaction could actually go very wrong. And Ari doubted that he would be able to take Skye to the hospital. He wasn't one to look much to the future either, because nothing seemed great about it. All that he knew was coming was that Skye was going to die. And was that something that he really wanted to dwell on? Of course, he said he didn't like to think of the future, yet he did anyways. It was slightly hard not to. But then he felt Skye's hand over his. He also looked at Skye in slight surprise, before a faint smile spread over his face. He could see that Wren was just as surprised, if a little less than himself. Skye's hand was warm. And actually resting on top of his... Ari looked at Skye, to see a slightly confused look, as though he didn't know exactly why he was doing what he was doing. Not that Ari minded, because the gesture did actually mean quite a bit to him. As Wren told him to make sure Skye wouldn't follow him, he just gave a 'No duh,' expression. Same with the getting him if anything went wrong with Skye.

If Wren could see what was happening, he probably would have been horrified and said that surely Skye's state wasn't shock but rather a deterioration of this brain, that it couldn't be possible that the young boy would do something like he was, but who knew. Thankfully, Wren was both a pessimist and not there. So Skye, looking confused, once again mirrored what Ari had done with him, squeezing the older boy's hand gently with his own. He didn't understand why his mind was screaming at him that he shouldn't be doing that, that it was wrong, Skye was far enough gone that those messages weren't understandable. When Ari smiled faintly, Skye smiled back, warm is confused, before resting his head on the Lithius' shoulder. The world didn't have to make sense right then. It was a rare peaceful moment, perhaps among if not the, last one. Ari wanted him like that, Skye was too dazed to care or think different. What a miracle it would be if the fates decided to stop the clock hand's ticking for once, and freeze time right there. Sadly, that was not to be, and the world kept moving. That silent second went away as the true reason for Skye resting his head on Ari was revealed a few stammered words later.
"Head... my...head hurts...." Of course it hurt. There was who knew what from the injection was starting it's work, clearing up his dazed mind. It wouldn't get better until he recovered, and wouldn't fade. The pain wasn't much more then an annoying ache, but enough that a toddler and therefor Skye would notice.

((Bleh, short, have to poof for a bit. Will try to do one of Adell on my DS, no promises.))

Ari was actually beginning to think it was deterioration of the brain as well. Because...well first of all Skye had actually touched his hand. Like...willingly....and in means of comfort? Not that Ari was going to complain or say he wasn't appreciative. Because...well this was something he had been wanting. For quite a very long time. As surprised as he was, and still as depressed because this only showed that it would never happen again, he continued giving a small smile. If Wren was here, he would probably be looking at it in horror. But he wasn't, and Ari couldn't care less what Wren thought of this. Ari's faint smile widened slightly as the younger Lithius smiled back. This really couldn't be happening. And then...he just set his head on his shoulder? Wait. What now? It was true. This was a extremely rare, extremely pleasant and peaceful moment, that Ari did wish would just kinda stop there. Actually, if the world decided to end, right then, he wouldn't be more happy. Death could come to him right then, and it would actually be most perfect. Because then he wouldn't have to deal with what came ahead. He was glad he hadn't jumped when Skye had put his head on his shoulder, especially once those few words came out of the younger boy's mouth. "Your head hurts, my love?" Ari asked worriedly. He gently laid a hand on the side of Skye's face. Even if this was something small, Ari wasn't going to take any chances. He gently took Skye's head from off his shoulder. "I'll be right back." He whispered softly before heading over towards where he had seen Wren disappear to. "Wren. He says his head hurts...I'm not sure if that means anything....but just wanted to get you and tell you just in case." He told him through the closed door.

Perhaps death right then would be for the best. Who knew if Skye had more a few days left to live, if he would suffer in them, and if recovering would bring hell tumbling down on him. Demise right then would be quite peaceful for the two boys, even if one of them was lost and not understanding just what was happening. Happiness was a strange thing. Skye gave a slight jump at the feeling of Ari's touch on his face, and then as his head was gently pulled away. A slightly confused look spread across his face, before receding in acceptance that he wouldn't be able to understand, and wouldn't be able to ask. He did almost follow Ari, but put together enough of the meaning of the words he spoke to stay sitting, if his gaze did follow the older boy almost worriedly as he crossed the room. Simultaniously, Wren gave a small jump on the other side of the door and a groan. Standing and opening the door, he muttered in annoyance, both to himself and Ari. "Already? He likes worrying us, doesn't he..." Rolling his eyes, he ignored Ari and walked over to the younger boy, who in response gave him a slightly scared look, not having forgotten the injection yet, and relief that he had magically reappeared. Wren was merely unsettled as it was so different from the Skye he knew, nothing else. Kneeling down so he was staring directly into the young boy's eyes, he slowly waved a hand in front of his face. Skye's eyes followed it normally, and did nothing else. Before jumping like a startled deer when Wren clapped next to his face, and then again when the boy lightly tapped his head. No further reaction other then a confused look, which gave Wren a bit of much-appreciated relief. So he was still reacting to everything reflexive correctly, which said that both it was deterioration or his mind being effected in ways it shouldn't. Probably just the effects of the injection doing what it was supposed to, which naturally wouldn't feel very pleasant, if not exactly agony. Skye would just have to live through it though m Wren decided, rising and turning to Ari. "He's fine. Probably just the injection getting to him. If he complains that it's getting worse, tell me. Likewise if his movements become uncoordinated, or react strangely. And of course, just about anything else that's not normal."

Tyler
Ty kept a straight face as Mark turned to look at it... Two emotions were portrayed openly in the petite boy's eyes. Rage and hurt. Ah, so the boy liked Michael. Well, this would be fun. His mind sang of plans that would ruin the boy's care for Michael... The boy spoke again. Ty was glad he'd remembered to file his claws and, most importantly, paint them. He'd used a pretty shade of dark purple. Yay. He sang to himself in his head. His claws looked more like a normal person's nails because of the fact they were shorter, and because he'd filed them, they were also duller, and not nearly as sharp. He glanced behind him, half expecting Michael to just jump out of nowhere, and attack him. Not that the other Lithius would have much of a chance against him...

( Sorry.. I'm gonna have to post for Liz tmorrow after school. I got grounded from the laptop for today... )

[Heh, don't worry. x3]

~Ivy~

Ivy took another sip of her tea and wrinkled her nose slightly. Warm tea was, to put it simply, kind of gross. This resulted in her tea cup being set down for the final time, by her at least. "Or we can finish up now...but we'd have to go home..." she murmured softly. Ivy smirked at Lizzie's blush that was spread across her cheeks, as red as a strawberry. "Now, don't be embarrassed or shy..." she said softly, gently stroking Liz's blushing cheek with the back of two fingers.

( Or before school. xD I woke up at 5:00 AM... o.O I surprise myself. )

Lizabelle
Lizzie, having nearly forgotten who was sitting next to her, jumped slightly at the feeling of fingers on her red cheek. The action caused her to blush even deeper, which was hard to believe, because Liz was beginning to feel lightheaded from the lack of blood in every place but her face. " I'd say finish up now.. " she said, her words soft, though still illegible. She looked up at Ivy, then looked off to where Elizz's office was. " We're leaving now, Elizz. I'll see if we can visit some other time. " She called lightly, before setting the teacup on the table and standing hesitantly.

If death did come then, at least it would be more peaceful than any alternative that was surely coming. But who knew what fate had for everyone, and so thus Ari was just thankful for the peaceful moment, being with his love during this....recovery. Who knew....maybe even after it, Skye wouldn't hate him. Or at least not as much. Ari gave a slightly amused huff at this, to himself. Like hell that would happen. He hadn't meant to scare Skye, when he felt the younger boy jump from his touch on his face. He saw the slightly confused face, before it just seemed to fade away. Thankfully he stayed there, although Ari was much more used to having to drag him around then actually having him follow. So he hadn't thought much of that. He heard the groan from Wren and gave a amused smirk. He jumped slightly as Wren opened the door, everyone was just a bit jumpy right now, eh? "Always has. Makes him more of the center of attention." Ari replied, his eyes following Wren as he walked over to Skye. Ari followed, noticing the slight fear in Skye's eyes. Ari was scared of Wren normally, let alone if he had just injected you with something. So he could kinda get where Skye was coming from. He himself wasn't unsettled by this, only because he was used to...taking care of Skye. Plus he didn't think much of it. Just a phase, right? Both he and Skye seemed to jump when Wren clapped, as he hadn't really been expecting it. Ari gave the slightest smirk as he saw Wren tapping Skye's head. An odd sight...but he guessed it was one that needed to be done? Who knew. Then Wren began rattling off reasons of why he should come get him, for Skye. "Yeah, yeah. I know. You sure you can't like...give him anything for the headache? Or would it....be bad with whatever you injected him...?" Ari then asked, looking down at Skye, before his gaze focused in on Wren. Wren was also an interesting boy. Ari may not have spent much time with him, but anyone could see that him and Skye had spent time together, and a lot of it. They were alike in just too many ways. And...who else would be doing these things to Skye, in an effort to make him better? Probably no one but Wren. Even Ari wouldn't for several reasons. The top one being no medical knowledge.

(Will reply to Ty once Kiro gets one up for Adelle)

[Noel]

Adell was holding back quiet laughter as Tyler spoke, watching Mark's reactions with growing amusement. So it seemed she wasn't the only one who liked messing with his emotions, although she never would have succeeded in getting such an interesting reaction, sadly. This would be an event that she would have to keep track of though. If worst came to worst, or she just wanted to, Adell wanted to be able to kill the hunter and his -previous- love in one good blow by revealing that Michael had protected him, which was strictly forbidden among Lithius. And she didn't even know about their -once again, previous- love yet. Once she did, it would get very bloody and very entertaining very quickly."Good to know." Adell answered shortly, although she had her doubts about everything. The statement was directed both at Tyler's speech and the 'not easily embarrassed' remark, as it fit both. Not to mention she felt no need to clarify further, nor to ponder either of the issues any more. None of that mattered. Before replied to Mark as the hunter kept talking, she took another small step closer to him, leaving them just a bit more the arm's reach apart. Any more and incoming blows would be hard to avoid, even more so then it already would be. For that reason, although her face was blankly happy enough, Adell was tensed and ready to move at the smallest sign of movement. She had little doubt Mark was feeling similarly. Smirking slightly at the comment about Skye, she held back a quiet chuckle.
"That's a first. I'm kind of surprised he's still alive, I believe you've nearly killed him twice now? I can't deny I never thought his age would save him. So it's a good thing I bit him young, eh?" Adell answered merrily, with a smirk forever growing on her face. Naturally, she barely had a moment before Mark was speaking again, this time on the subject of that tall Lithius. All she gave as an answer was a mocking look and grin, accompanied with a roll of her eyes. She didn't believe any of that, or at least knew none of it was true until Tyler appeared and began talking. That might have changed things, but she didn't know just how much it had effected Marl's view. There would be time to learn later if they both still lived. If not, Adell suspected she would be the one still breathing, and it would be beyond caring then. However, it seemed Mark did not want to fight that day. In all honestly, Adelle did. She wanted to impale the boy, simply for being a Lithius hunter, or for having met her alone. Both reasons were good enough to give her a growing desire to see blood and gore in her mind. Did Mark know that if he let the girl in front of him walk away, humans would die within a few hours as a result? Perhaps not, it seemed. Adell didn't bother to point that out, and smiled happily again, ignoring his cold tone as the shorter boy spoke yet again.
"Yeah, I'm quite proud of it all. I've surely bitten more humans then you've killed Lithius, and are still alive. Course, as are you, but that could be over quite shortly. I want you dead, and you probably feel similarly. You think you would be able to beat me, I think the opposite. You though, don't want injuries. Which is why you haven't bothered to attack me yet." Adell shrugged, before continuing to read the situation aloud for the hell of it and for the sake of the bystanders. Plus she wanted to show that she wasn't missing anything, which she wasn't. "But I think I might just start it myself then...?" Adel asked cheerily, raising her own wicked knife her hand, eyes turning darker as she spoke each word, that maniacal urge appearing there as well as it filled her mind.

~Ivy~

Ivy smirked and nodded, pulling jeer fingers away. "Perfect. Lead the way?" she murmured softly. Standing on tip toe, she stood up next to Liz and stretched. "Thank you very much, Elizzabeth." Ivy called out. Very grateful, she appreciated the fact that Elizz would serve her, even though she knew she was a a Lithius. Gently, she slipped her hand into Lizzie's. Blushing lightly, she laced her fingers with her, glancing to her from the corner of her eye, a soft smile playing on her lips.

[ElementalInsanity]

Mark didn't see anything about this whole damn situation that was amusing, although he could see that Adelle did. Not that he really cared. She was one of those Lithius that found blood and gore and biting innocents fun. So...not all that surprising. Usually he would be able to hide any emotions, something he thought was best around Lithius in general let alone Adell. Something that he needed to rewire into his brain, because it was obviously lacking quite a bit right now. Mark had been trying to be cautious about his...'relationship' with Michael. Which he didn't need to be anymore, because obviously there was none now. But still. He didn't want anything to come back to him about that. Because Skye had already threatened it, so that had put him on the edge. But news had come that the younger Lithius' was now officially a four-year-old. So not much to worry about there. However, if Adelle was thinking of using that....that could be very....terrible. To say the least. Adell gave a short answer and Mark didn't think anything about it. Besides, there wasn't much to think about in that particular subject. He watched as she took yet another step closer to him, and his grip tightened onto the handle of his knife, although he had been hoping for no fight. But it really wasn't like he would hesitate to defend himself. He could see that Adelle was tense, and as was he. Although quite a bit less than her, it seemed. "Nearly, I suppose. And his age may not save him. I'm one of the only hunters that believes in letting them live out a life longer than normal. Because it would be much easier if I just went around killing all the young ones. Because then that meant that there wouldn't be as many new ones. But I don't do that. Other's may...but let's just say that they aren't as....successful as I? And no. It is sure as hell not a good thing you bit him young. Because that ruined his whole life. However, that will be over with soon enough.” Mark watched as Adelle gave a mocking grin at him, along with a roll of her eyes. Mark just gave a shrug. “It‘s true. If you don‘t believe me then... Oh well.” He replied simply, not about to try and defend himself. Because really he didn’t need to. And if he did start doing that, then it would make him seem suspicious, which would only confirm the once had relationship. God. He had even kissed the Lithius. Several times. Damn it. Yes. Mark did know that if he let Adelle walk away, she would probably kill quite a few people. But in the long run, or at least this was what he was thinking, he could save more lives. Adelle was sure that she would come out alive. Mark, wasn‘t so sure that he would. Overconfidence would lead to downfall. Think the worst, and then when you get better than expected, it seems almost miraculous. Mark couldn’t help but give a small snort when she said that she had probably bitten more humans than he had killed Lithius. He was about to tell her not to be so sure of her ‘accomplishments’ before she continued. Yes. He was still alive. But he actually did quite more dangerous work than her. Or so he believed. Because there were many Lithius, but rapidly decreasing amount of hunters. For two reasons. Not many people became them in the first place, and also Lithius were killing them off at an astonishing rate. Many of his friends and sources had been killed recently. It seemed the Lithius Council was really picking up its game, concerning this. Mark just gave a smirk as she said she wanted him dead. “Ah. You want little old me dead? Now why would you want that?” He spat at her sarcastically. He didn’t necessarily believe he could beat her. Because again, that overconfidence came into play. However he was really hoping he would be able to. Mark was actually quite surprised when she pointed out the very reason for his not attacking her yet. He didn’t want injuries. Not at all. Not after just spending so much time already recovering from his latest ones. But then she just added that she would start this herself. Great. No. He had been hoping to go out, find at least a half a dozen Lithius to slaughter. Watching the very strange and also insane Lithius, he noticed that her eyes were practically filled with the desire to cause harm and bloodshed. How great. His eyes briefly flicked over to the other boy. How sad. He didn’t even know his name, yet he might just get killed in front of him. And he had been hoping to go on a savage hunting spree today! Damn. Hey... was... his nails painted? How... weird... But oddly cute. And purple at that. He saw the boy glance behind him. Was he afraid of something? Mark would be if he were him, especially seeing that Adelle was going to attack someone. He would be running like hell if he could. But then again, he was Mark... not this other boy. And so, time to refocus on Adell.
