((Oh, yeah, sorry. No prob ^.^ But, since there's the risk of art theft, we are no longer exactly allowed to have pictures, so I shall change it into a description (:))
~Phoenix~
Phoenix huffed, nodding shortly. He stood and padded off, his silky fur glimmering in the sunlight that shone through leafy trees. He got out of earshot of anyone else--or at least that's what he assumed--and dropped to the ground with a large, quiet sigh. He pawed at the terrain below his heavily-clawed paws, scratching marks in the dusty dirt. He shook his head lightly, growling to himself. He sat up, sighing once again. Phoenix's paw lifted, then cuffed across the dirt, sending it flying in one angered hit.
~Simbari~
Simbari looked towards the direction her old friend had gone; Her old, old friend. He wasn't her friend anymore; Or at least he didn't seem to be. Did Phoenix truly hate the whole world? Simbari couldn't figure it out for the life of her. If only she could help him, set his soul to peace... But nothing would change. Not after what Phoenix had done, way back when they were young... It hadn't been his fault, but now he couldn't let go. He loved her so much... And now, because of what he had done to that beautiful she-wolf he had loved, he wouldn't let himself get close to anyone, and that meant no one at all. She sighed. If only he could learn to trust others again... But, mostly, to trust himself again. Maybe he would love again... Simbari shook her head, her shimmering glossy fur bouncing against her. I highly doubt he'll ever be the way he was before... she thought in despair.
~Phoenix~
Meanwhile, Phoenix was thinking deeply, cursing himself for what he had done. He had loved her so, so much that he just couldn't let go... Until he had no choice but to let go. He couldn't trust others around him, let alone trust himself around others. He would never find love again. He couldn't go through it again. Not that pain he felt everytime he reminded himself it was his fault. No, Phoenix thought. Not again. Never again. I don't need to get close to anyone. But somewhere in his mind, he doubted that.
((Deep down, Phoenix just needs a hug XD))
