Soul was frozen to the spot.

Jabberwocks just freaked him out.

He could leap into battle without a second thought, fight nearly anything and win, but he just could not handle Jabberwocks.

Oh. My. Freaking. God.

He thought nervously, eyes wide.

Tamilia flattened herself against the trunk of the mushroom as the jabberwock passed by; she was silent, for once, and she was scarcely breathing. But, all it took was Toppy to whimper, and the jabberwock was on Tamilia like a shot of lightning. He let Toppy go, since he had Tamilia now, watching the little kitten run to Soul. The dragon-like creature used one hand to hold the girl to the trunk of the mushroom, a sinister gleam in his black eyes - though the creature wasn't fully grown, it stood a few feet taller than Tami, who was quite tall herself. Not to mention how strong to creature was. The jabberwock chuckled, pressing the girl back against the trunk, as she remained statue-still. "Not talking...?" He purred; though jabberwocks were fiendish beasts, they had voices as smooth as silk; some species were even know to use their voices as lures to their victims. And, even at such a young stage for a jabberwock, his voice was already deep - and almost eerily soothing. "Oh well; another victim for Redd, I suppose." Tamilia strained to reach her hat, but the dragon-thing caught her hand, and spread his wings; anyone could see that he was planning on flight.

Seeing the creature grab Tamilia was enough to jolt Soul out of his shock.

He morphed his arm quickly and lept onto the beasts back, running towards its head and leaving deep gouges in it's back as he went.

He stood on it's shoulders and pressed his blade deep into it's throat, dragging it all the way across it's neck slowly.

When he pulled the blade out, he saw that he had nearly decapitated the beast.

It dropped Tamilia and went limp.

Soul jumped off of it, letting it fall to the ground.

He ran up to Tamilia, morphing his arm back and checking her over quickly for wounds.

"Are you ok?"

He asked nervously, voice quavering slightly from the encounter.

No matter how much he pretended not to be, it was obvious that he was terrified.

Again, jabberwocks freaked him out.

Tamilia heard the jabberwock roar in pain and glanced up, just in time to see Soul slice the dragon's head from its neck. Blood sprayed down - narrowly avoiding her - and she gasped, feeling the beast release her before the creature itself fell down. She hit the ground hard and rolled, hitting the trunk of a mushroom just as the beastly jabberwock fell heavily to the ground. Tamilia was winded, and she took in deep breaths, eyes slightly buldging as she tried to reclaim her breath. She heard Soul's voice and began to breathe normally, looking to the boy with a slightly tired-looking gaze. "I'm f-fine, Soul...well, except f-for this..." She glanced down to a gash on her arm, from when the jabberwock had her pinned to the trunk. She smiled weakly up to the boy, one hands gently running against his hard-set jaw. "I'm all right, honestly...you shouldn't get so worked up over me."

Soul sighed, helping her to her feet.

"Too late."

He said quietly, laughing.

Looking over his shoulder, he saw the life drain from the jabberwock and sighed, relieved.

He scooped up Toppy and smiled.

"You really need to keep your little nose out of trouble."

He said to him, scratching his ears.

Tamilia took Soul's hand and stumbled to her feet, clenching her jaw as pain surged through her body. Her back was sore - if not broken - from the fall, and the gash in her arm was throbbing in pain. But, as she had learned in battle, it did no good to whine about your injuries. She dusted herself off, despite the protest of her wounds, and looked to Soul, smiling as he scooped the Cheshire Kitten up and scratched his ears. The kitten, spotting his girl's injuries, mewed and floated to her arm. Gently, he licked at the blood, innocently fearing for the girl who took care of him. Chuckling, Tamilia scooped him in her arms, holding the cat like she would a baby. The kitten purred and nuzzled into her arms, and she grinned to Soul, slipping over to him with Toppy in her arms. Carefully, she took one arm from around the kitten, and slipped it around Soul's neck. She stared up to him intently, a rare spark of intellegence in her usually insanity-tinted eyes."Thou hast saved me from the vile creature, whom has plagued the lands. Does my rescuer not deserve thy reward for thine couragous efforts...?" Tamilia didn't know - or care - if she'd said it right, as she slid her hand into the boy's hair, and leaned up to kiss him softly.

Soul smirked as her arm snaked around his neck.

"Maybe so."

He said quietly and kissed her back.

His heart fluttered the same way it always did when they kissed and he relaxed slightly.

He didn't want to pull away, but he did all the same and smiled at her.

"Get's better every time."

He said breathlessly and sighed.

Tamilia felt her heart soar as Soul kissed her, and when he pulled away, she couldn't help but giggle. This whole thing - the kissing, the sweetness - it was all so boggling...even if it was nice. She kept her arm around the boy and pulled herself into him, gently snuggling against him in the dim, brightly-coloured light of the glowing mushrooms. Toppy, who had slipped from the girl's arm, continued licking her wounds, before grappling around her arm like a koala to a branch. Giggling, Tamilia looked down to the kitten, then to Soul with a grin. "I suppose we should get back to camp before another jabberwock comes...or this little fella' passes out." She regretfully pulled away from the boy, but let her hand slip to his, even if it made her blush profusely. "Well....I'll lead," Tamilia offered with a smile, gently tugging Soul's arm as she began to walk. With a cute little kitten yawn, Toppy crawled up Tamilia's arm, slinking across her shoulders and hopping to Soul's. Carefully, the kitten curled around the boy's neck, soon finding a comfortable position and beginning to fall into a light sleep.

Soul smiled as her hand slipped into his.

He followed her loyally and sighed.

His hair blew into his face and he used his free arm to pull his head band back up into place.

They walked past the place where he had fought Finn and he noticed the boot marks he had left in the soft dirt, Finn's footprints didn't move from one spot.

Am I really that fast?

He thought to himself and smiled at the thought.

[Quackzilla!]

Tamilia glanced around the clearing she had been in previously with Soul, eyes wide as she took in the semi-familar surroundings. Near Finn's boot tracks, she could see blood, and she slipped closer to Soul. 'You idiot, you've seen blood hundreds - no, thousands - of times! You've killed people! This is nothing new!' She bit her lip and averted her eyes, looking instead to Soul. He was smiling, and Tamilia cringed; was he smiling at the blood? Shrugging the thought off, she looked down the half-worn trail, tilting her head slightly. "I think it'll still be a bit of a walk, but we'll be there soon enough." She practically had a map of the Mushroom Forest seared into her head. Her father - both when he mother was living, and when she had been killed - had insisted that she know the forest well. Not only was she herself prone to being lost, but her mother would often wander off, and Hatter wanted his daughter to be able to find her easily enough. Remembering her parents, Tamilia looked up to Soul, wondering about his own upbringing. "Do you remember your parents?" She asked quietly, words carefully and unprovocative. The last thing Tamilia wanted to do was get Soul upset; not only did she hate when he was mad, but she loved the boy dearly.
