Freak of Nature (Semi-Lit)

[Falls]

Honestly, William didn't know what to do. By abhorring physical touch, Max had removed the best method of comfort that William had stored away in his arsenal. "Er, no need to be sorry," he responded softly, clearly at a loss for words. He ran his slender fingers through his burgundy hair, casting his green eyes to the ground as he spoke. "The painful things in life... They're never entirely your fault. I have bad memories too. That's why I've been so unstable." He caught himself too late and gave a nervous laugh, getting to his feet with an uncomfortable smile. Here was one person with whom he could have pretended that his issues didn't exist. Now he'd gone and blabbed about his weakness to Max too.

"Ah, Mila? Mila, come here." He looked towards the general area in which the wolfpup had sought the stick.

Mila trudged, bringing back the stick. The exhaustion from earlier was taking it's toll. Her ears pricked up as she heard William call her, and her pace quickened slightly. The pup dropped the stick at his feet, tiredly looking at Max. Cautiously she stretched her neck out, a silent soft puff of warm air on the boy's arm let him know she was there, and worried. Mila inclined her head in a sideways fashion, offering herself for comforting pets. Then she tilted her head up to look at William with confusion.

Max
He looked at the man with confusion. Did he just say he had bad memories? We're they similar to his dark memories or different? He wanted to know but kept his mouth shut. He looked at Mila after feeling warm breath on his arm. He offered a small smile and cautiously put a hand on her head and ruffled her fur gently before looking at William, a father figure to Mila, a person he wished he could have in his own personal life. He hesitated "so um...does the ringmaster hate me? For biting him I meam? I wouldn't blame him...but I'm sorry...I was scared..." He murmured

I honestly can't remember if Max already told William about the bite. I can't easily check on my phone, so we'll just pretend this is a news to him xD

William sat back down when he saw Mila, glad for the distraction. She seemed to be having a rough go of it, what with the inevitable fatigue now kicking in. Poor thing. He told Ringmaster she wasn't ready for the ring. After Max gave her head a quick rub, William reached out and picked up her furry body, bringing it close to himself and setting her in his lap. No doubt she would sleep well tonight! He began to rhythmically pet the wolf pup, looking up at Max with surprise when he spoke. "You bit him?? Glory! It's no wonder he hates you so much. What on earth passed between you two that led to that?"

((Y'all can go on from here for a while since Mila will prolly be relaxing/sleeping. ^.^ Unless something else comes up.))

Mila enjoyed her quick pets and was glad the boy could trust her enough to at least touch her. She was then promptly lifted from the ground by familiar hands and settled into a cozy bodynest. Her heavy eyelids perched precariously close to the bottom, small slivers of happy yellow remained seen. If she was a cat she would undoubtedly be purring at utmost performance. The white wolf's ears relaxed, becoming floppy and folded over slightly as a young canine's ears do, her tail uncharacteristically still. The pupchild's breathing became as slow and steady as the strokes upon her white fluff-ballish form, and the soft lull and accentuated tones droned in her ears, again all was right in the world.

Ok )
Max
He smiled as he saw Mila get picked up and then seemed very comfortable in Williams arms. He flinched "s...sorry! I...I didn't mean it...I...I was scared...he grabbed me and wouldn't let me go! What else could I have done?!" He whimpered fearfully. Was this kind man going to scold him? He took a few steps back in fear "honest I didn't mean anything by it!"

We can probably wrap this up quickly so that you're not waiting too long. We shall see.
If Mila wants to interact with someone new, that's fine.

William shook his head with a sigh. "What a way to make a first impression." As he spoke, his hands absently kneaded through the fur of the wolf in his lap. It was warm there under the wispy white fluff. William felt his fingers warming up as they cozied up in there. "You had better watch yourself around him now, lest you anger him further. Goodness me, biting Ringmaster... I'm bound to have that scar whenever we figure out how to rejoin. Tell me, is that all you have done? He hasn't any other ammo against you, has he?"

(Iza's open, so if Milan wants to interact with her, that's fine)

[Wakeup{Dr|Scr}eaming]

(Happy New Years too!)

Iza got inpatient. She wanted her reward NOW. She started to bite on the bars of her cage, making dents in these. She made all kind of noises to attract attention. Her trainer was nowhere to be seen. When she caught the smell of a street cat walking around the tent, she tried to get to it, obviously being stopped by the bars. Frustrated, she started spewing fire again.

((Sure ^-^))

Mila heard strange noises, and when they didn't stop it began to annoy her and, quite honestly, also made the puppy quite curious. Giving William a quick, I'll-be-back lick on his hand she trotted off towards the noise. Imagine her surprise to see an oddly colored humanoid-esque tortured shape blowing fire out of it's mouth! The pup quickly hid herself to one side, intimidated by the heat of the flames. Her curiosity got the better of her, though, as she peeked wild yellow eyes to see the creature again.

Max
He tensed "sorry...I didn't mean to...honest..." He said nervously. He watched Mila leave wondering where she was going. He flinched hearing william and his hair fell over his eyes. He looked at the ground "I'm sorry..." He murmured before tensing even more. It would be a death sentence if he told him about the kiss. They would hang up on him and murder him right? No he mustn't say. To risky. But he didn't want to lie either. He squeezed his eyes shut "I...i..." He trailed off. The death sentence rippled through his thoughts terrifying him further. He looked at william with fear filled blue eyes, that started to become moist with tears "I...I kissed him!" He managed to get out in a weak, terrified tone.
