"I know him well. All he wants is for everyone to be happy. So happy that he is weakened and can't hurt anyone anymore. Smilig at him would be quite a bit, you know." Rioku sad lightly, not turning to look at Eleven. "He has alwas been lift this, since I've known him anyway. Even though I am partially his soul, I only gained a mind after his first rampage."

[Jump.Jump.Fall.]

Eleven listened to Rioku carefully, taking in his every word. She placed one hand at the back of her neck, the coldd metal of her fingers sending shivers down her spine. Eleven suddenly stood up, pushing her hands down deeply within her pockets. "I'm tired," she said in a sigh, her voice dry. "I'm going to shut myself down for a bit..." Eleven murmured, looking at Rioku out of the corner of her eye. She turned and walked over to the nearest tree, hunkering down in the shadows the enormous tree cast. Eleven propped her back up against the tree, closing her eyes and shutting off all the power of her system. Eleven's head flopped forward, her body becoming numb and limp. She slowly began to slip into unconsciousness, but one thing still lingered upon her mind. Skye.

[Mayiamaru]

Rioku let ut a small whine and padded to her side, laying beside her and curling half way. He found that it would be a good idea to rest too. He hadn't done so for a while, and this was a pretty good opportunity. With his last thought about the garden vanished, his drifted to sleep. His warm body but lightly chilled fur was against Eleven as he slept, becoming perfectly still.

[Jump.Jump.Fall.]

Eleven was completely numb, her body useless. Her a small red light was pulsing on her wrist, glowing faintly before dimming down again. Eleven's chest was barely moving, her breathing hardly noticeable. Her mechanical system was running on very low power, which was the only thing that allowed her to sleep. But if the power lessened any more... Eleven would die. Eleven, without her system, was weak and couldn't even more without her system, let alone breathe. But, for now, Eleven slept.

(Time skip?)

[Mayiamaru]

(Alright, but not past the whole day, since Pocky still needs to reply ;P)

Rioku flinched, waking up suddenly and raising his head, his ears pointed forwards and his eyes scanning the area before him. "A dream?..." He growled quietly, then lowered his head to his paws. No... A nightmare.... He thought to himself, his tail still as he folded his ears against his skull, whining involuntarily.

[Jump.Jump.Fall.]

(Alright...
I am asuming that they only took a nap...)

The red pulsing light on Eleven's wrist grew brighter, it's pulsing growing closer and closer together in a matter of seconds. Eleven drew in a deep breath, her eyelids sealed shut and her body still useless. A shock of electricity coursed through Eleven's body, waking her limbs from their numb state. Eleven winced, her expression twisting with pain. She let out a moan, forcing her eyelids open as she straightened her back. Eleven looked around, her vision blurred. She blinked slowly, moving her hands up to her face and rubbing her eyes roughly.

[Mayiamaru]

Rioku was on edge, so Eleven's sudden movement scared him into jolting to his feet and growling at her. Once he realized, he shook his head and fur and laid down again. He was use to waking up to Skye rubbing his neck calmly on the porch or by the river, under one of the willows trees. He relly did miss Skye, even though it was only about ten hours since he last saw him.

[Jump.Jump.Fall.]

Seeing Rioku leap up, Eleven's eyes widened with surprise. Her face turned pale when the sound of Rioku's growl hit her ears, her muscles stiffening. Eleven drew in a sharp breath, watching Rioku with large eyes. She bit into her lower lip nervously, before asking Rioku in a gentle, but shaken voice, "What's wrong?". Eleven wanted the scratch Rioku behind the ears and try to settle his nerves, but the fact that Rioku had growled at her and could possibly do so again kept her from reaching out to the wolf.

[Mayiamaru]

"I was just surprised is all...." Rioku said, padding up beside Eleven and laying down with his ears flattened against his head. He could sense that he had frightened Eleven, and laid his head in her lap to show that he meant no harm. "I'm use to Skye beside me, so the noise was a bit.... distracting." He said, whining a little bit.

[Jump.Jump.Fall.]

Eleven watched Rioku carefully, holding her breath when Rioku drew closer. She looked down at Rioku, her expression slowly easing and her breath softly escaping her lips. Eleven placed a hand on Rioku's back, stroking the wolf softly. She stared down at Rioku. It was clear missed his partner, and it was making Eleven uncomfortable to see Rioku so unhappy. She sighed, stroking Rioku's head and then all the way down to the center of his back. "You know what?" Eleven said in an up-lifting voice, a cocky grin spreading across her face. "I'm going to bail Skye out of prison, no matter how much he doesn't want me to!"
