Elisabeth "Lisette" Brodeur >> Loner >> Tagged: Desmond Miles, Amethyst Carter
A small amount of anxiety balled up in Lisette's heart when Desmond closed his eyes as if to block her out. She frowned, her stare never leaving his dark form as she remained knelt down to his level. If he was not trying to block her out, he would eventually say something, and, if he was trying to block her out, there still would be a time where he had to do something. Lisette was not typically stubborn, but, when there was a cause for it, she could be worse than a cat refusing to get in the water. Of course, she was a lot less ugly about it than a cat, but, nonetheless, Lisette was one that made sure that she was the winner in situations she knew she should be.
She held her breath when Desmond opened his eyes, the hope in her stare a little more tentative as the boy finally parted his muzzle to speak. Her frown seemed to grow a little more relevant on her features with each new sentence that he spoke. "I am sorry for you," she whispered softly as she shook her head solemnly. "I truly am." Her eyes searched Desmond's unreadable expression, yearning to find something that might cue her to the right words. She found nothing, forced to continue blindly. "Yes, it is true. I so badly do want to go to them, but I am afraid that I do not want to go to them so badly that I wish to abandon you," she answered with a small shake of her head, her tone still soft. "And I already know that you are fully capable of living your life alone, but I cannot believe for even a second that anyone can be truly happy alone. If you fear a pack, do not think of me and Amethyst as one. Think of us as...well..." Lisette's twisted expression became somewhat more lost as she was unsure of what to compare their potential grouping to.
"...Well, think of us as practice." her tone became a little more chipper once she finally found something for him to see it is, but inwardly she was a little uncertain as to whether that was the most clever suggestion. "Yes. You don't have to think of us as real. We are just here as simple practice. There can be no harm in that, can there?" Again, Lisette was hopeful, and it was revealed clearly in her wide eyes.
Derrick Hills >> Loner >> Tagged: Izzy Steel
Pssh. That was Derrick's thought when Izzy mumbled a nervous greeting to him. Despite the thought, he was rather receptive to her greeting. Great. Now they were one step closer to a little smooching time. He was nearly clasping his hands and rubbing them together in his anticipation. "Guess you can't really say bye when I'm lying right on top of you, eh?" he teased, shooting a quick glower to the girl's dog and flicking a pebble at its nose. Stupid mutt. However, he knew what the dog wanted so, he pushed himself finally up off of the girl and offered her a hand that had become dirty from the fall. However, before the girl could take it, he pulled his hand back and grinned down at her. "Now, I hope you promise not to say bye just as soon as I help you up back onto those pretty little jogging shoes of yours." Derrick was used to being charming, but, in the back of his mind, he made a note to never say that when he was old. It would just sound downright creepy. Still grinning, Derrick offered his hand back out to the girl, fully intending on helping her up this time.
