one by one with accio donut. and Alpha*

[Alpha*]

Shanks humms in thought at the question, he exhales, quietly, "I, as I have told you, am the last of the Luga Ru, and.. I am... three thousand -five hundred -twenty nine years, six months, two weeks, three days, five hours, fourteen minutes and fourty-eight seconds old." of course, he is messing with her, and stares - waiting to see her face.

Morag shakes his head, "You are right. It is silly. Her parents would never approve of a monster."

[jet pack blues]

Dezi gave Shanks a look, one that asked if he was serious. "Are you kidding?" she asked, her voice quiet as if she'd awake the whole forest.

Zeke shook his head once again. "Maybe," he said. "But look, mate. It's just that we're all so young. love isn't something we can grasp right now." At least that was what his grandfather had told him...

[Alpha*]

"Yes," Replies the male, enjoying himself immensely at her expression. "I am however, alot older than you. My kind measure three human years for every one of ours. So, I am twenty three times three.. sixty nine. That is merely past pup hood for my species." he tells her, this time honest.

Morag raises a brow, "Zeke.. maybe. But I imprinted on her, to leave... would... ruin.. me." he pauses, "And... Benami doesn't exist."

[jet pack blues]

Dezi nodded, a small smile now set on her features. "I understand," she said, trailing off as she looked into the fire. She was quiet for a minute or so, then she piped up again. "How did you know that... well, that you were in love?" She avoided Shanks' eyes, feeling slightly regretful for asking that question.

Zeke nodded a bit. "Well... maybe you should wait till you're both a bit older," he said. "And who's Benami?"

[Alpha*]

Morag holds his breath a moment, "I suppose that wasn't ...exactly... correct. He does exist, but... he isn't who Ammonia thinks he is. He... means to kill her. And I can't touch him."

Shanks sighs, "You cannot stop thinking of them.." he softly explains.

[jet pack blues]

Zeke's heart stopped for a moment. "You're saying that guy she's been running around with has plans to murder her?" he asked, almost fuming. "I've got to do something! They're probably together right now."

Dezi sat up a bit, interested in what he had to say. She hesitated a bit before asking, "Is that... all?" There had to be more to it.

[Alpha*]

"Infact, yes, they are." Morag answers non-chalantly. Then, "You said you wanted nothing to do with her, that means, she probably wont believe you Zeke. And she doesn't like me." the creature tells the other, sadly.

Shanks takes a breath, "It is different for humans than Lugarian. You see... you.. I have never been human, I.. can only guess at what my Raine used to... used to tell me." he has to take a minute to swallow, to breathe. Then, he speaks in greater detail... (I'm just too lazy)

[jet pack blues]

Zeke held his face in his hands. How could he explain to Ammonia that he had been so stupid to let his pride get the best of him? Even so, what if she died because he didn't try and save her? "Could you take me to her?" he asked. "Or maybe just back to the castle?"

[its all good]
Dezarae listened quietly, part of her wishing Rain was there to talk to her. She muted her sad thoughts and sighed softly, offering a tiny smile at Shanks when he was finished talking. "Thanks," she said, her eyelids heavy with a growing sleepiness.

[Alpha*]

Morag is silent... considering. "I would, but...I would need to gather Shanks, and Dezi to do so. Because... We have to fly, but no magic will take us there." a pause, "For Ammonia is the Task, and Benami... the Guardian, as the Djin. " Those eyes of his consider, decide. And suddenly he is standing, "I'll do it Zeke. I'll... help you save her, just you and me. I.. wont seem to be me. You must promise to forgive me, nomatter what. Ready?" he ask, wings trembling.

(thanks)

Shanks sighs, it is too late to get inside the wards, he'd lost track of time. And she is growing sleepy, it is staring to snow again. He douses the fire, and cleans up his mess, then, the he gathers up the human girl in his arms, and the heavy pelt and heads into the storm, to save her life.

[jet pack blues]

Zeke was completely confused. The trial wasn't even until tomorrow! He just shook his head and focused on the one important thing— getting Ammonia away from the monster.

[youre welcome]

Dezi held onto Shanks' neck, awoken from the light sleep she had dozed into. "Where are we going?" she asked, slightly worried. It would take them a while to walk back to the castle on foot.
