Emotion

[Mayiamaru]

Xione looked up at Ezvar and smirked as he tried to make himself look big. She turned so that her back was to him. "If I can take down some big, dumb thugs, I can take- H-Hey!" Xione felt Ezvar slide his cap onto her head and immediately turned around, tilting up the brim of the hat so she could see. She finally took the time to examine Ezvar, noticing that he really did have some sharp and rough features. Nonetheless, the static seemed to be gone to her. "Better." She said simply, smiling lightly, but not for long. She could sense something.

Before she could even take off the hat, Xione had jumped over the counter, taking a pair of blades from her boots as she jumped. She skid to the back, her smile gone and her crimson eyes cold and angry. "Let go of him. You hurt him, I kill all of you." Her tone was dark. There were four men, three of which big and burly and only one dressed in a dapper suit. Those people knew Xione. They took off right away, just the man in the suit left. "Hmm... So you are the ninja girl that has been taking out my boys." This man... Why wasn't he running as well? He came closer to Xione. The second he was in arms length, Xione thrusts her blades at his chest, but he dodged her move and appeared behind her. Not an everyday thug.... "I am impressed." He said in a smooth voice, meant to be alluring, but Xione got angry rather than seduced. She wasn't going to submit to someone like this. She continued to thrust her blades without warning, and he continued to dodge her. Neither seemed to be losing breath, but Xione did have something up her sleeves. She was watching this guy. He was bent on staying behind her, so at the last moment, she faked a swing and slipped him up as he came around behind her again. "Get out, and don't bother him anymore. I'll kill you if you do, scum." Xione hissed down at the angry man that lay on the floor.

Setsuya's eyes flickered with interest. "That's very impressive for a rodent. But that won't help you with anything long distance. Maybe your bond with him just wasn't strong enough to give him a voice." Setsuya said, unable to keep a thought to himself. He was always like that, blindly spewing his opinions. The only time he ecer stops talking is if it's a crucial moment. Something as important as a life or death situation is a time where Setsuya could gladly tell a tall tale and keep his thoughts within his thick skull.

((Sorry for late reply))

Sarikana sighed. "I know. It's just that..... " she trailed off, gazing up at the sky. How on earth was she ever meant to explain how she felt to Victor? How could Victor ever understand how completely overpowering her emotions were, how she was utterly driven by them? No human, much less Victor, ever could. "I just feel the need to escape from my feelings sometimes, to be.... in control of how I feel." She shrugged, pulling a blade of grass between her fingers. "I want some kind of control over myself. But... you, you're always perfectly in control. You never do anything you regret. You can be like that, because you're a human." She paused, getting up, and began walking towards the gate. Was Victor following? She had no idea. Hopefully he was. He wasn't going to just stay there, was he? Was he? What if he decided she needed some alone? When she had arried here she had been longing for it, but now... now she couldn't bare the thought of Victor leaving her. In situations like this, he was the only thing that kept her sane. Outside the park, there was a girl talking to a boy. She had a mouse in her hand. Sarikana started towards them, then remembered to wait for Victor. "Come on, I'm sick of this place."

Nellie shrugged.
"Its not like we're ever going to be more than a few feet apart."
She stated in a pithy manner.

Then, she stopped, and a frown spread across her face.
"What do you mean our bond isn't strong enough?"
She said in a tone that was dipped in anger.

"We have been best friends since longer than you can imagine. Its hard for a rodent to learn to communicate through voice you know. Its not like i can snap my fingers and make him sing opera."

She said, holding Andershire in her hand now.
"Besides, I don't care if he can't talk. He's a great listener. If you didn't already notice I tend to talk a lot."

Victor sighed a bit and started after her.
"You have seem to place me in higher regards than the truth."
He stated, stuffing his hands in his pockets.

There was no man on earth more arrogant than Victor, but for justonce he had to swallow his pride.
"I'm in control when people are watching. When I'm alone things happen. Humans sometimes build up more emotions than we can carry without snapping."

He started to explain.

"I regret a lot of thinks actually..."
He admitted awkwardly.
"There are a lot of times I wish I had...or hadn't done something..."
He shookoff the memories quickly.
"You always speak on how you envy me for being a human...but sometimes...I envy you for what you are. To humans...your actually pretty interesting."

Setsuya held up his hands in defense. "Woah, woah. Not what I meant. A creature like that, no matter how small should have a voice that only its master or partner can hear. Like with me, and Lueria. She gained enough power to project her voice into the minds of others as well, though. I can't hear a voice coming from Andershire, let alone a real thought." Setsuya explained while Lueria too this into account. "It helps to have this kind of connection. If he were to ever get lost in a crowd, you would wannt to be able to find him, wouldn't you?" Setsuya added in with a wise stance that just made him seem even more arrogant than usual. "He's a part of your soul, so if he doesn't even have a voice that you can hear, then there has to be... something wrong." He said in finalization. He was finished speaking, for now.

Nellie glared again.
"It's happened before. We found each other, as if drawn to by a homing tracker."

She crossed her arms and muttered.
"There is nothing wrong with my Andershire..."

She glanced up the tree and wished she was a squirrel.
Then she could climb up and glare down from a safe distance.
Then again he had the strength to shake her out of said tree...

[Mayiamaru]

"Wait... Let me get this straight... You found him? He didn't just... appear?" Setsuya asked, raising an eyebrow. That arrogant and all-knowing look on his face replaced with an expression innocent enough to call a child's. He knew that people of his kind gained animal companions once they turn half, but to just find a wild animal an have them become a part of them... Was that even possible? Lueria was baffled as well. She came out from her place and looked at Nellie with a curious expression.

Nellie furrowed her brow.
"Well...yes and no. I don't really see how its so surprising."
Andershire crawled out and onto Nellie's shoulder.

"When I was still living with my brothers we lived in a very rural place. Andershire and I kept meeting up in the weirdest ways. By weird, I really mean weird."

She wasn't wanting to go into detail about those encounters...

"We never seemed to be able to lose each other, and even though he can't physically speak to me, I could always tell whathe was trying to get me to seeor do, even before he learned to write."

[Mayiamaru]

Setsuya kept his mouth shut for once as he took in the small bits of information that Nellie spewed forth. "Alright... Just, two more questions... How did you two even meet, and when?" he asked, shaking off the domb-founded expression on his face, Lueria finding his constant movements to be annoying. She was fairly lose to biting the bak of Setsuya's neck again just to get him to stop. Lueria alwas did that without warning. If someone were to look at the back of Setsuya's neck before nightfall, there were usually two or four bite marks. At the least they didn't become scars thanks to Setsuya's healing ethic.

Emma gave a sad nod and got up. She wanted to keep an eye on him but if he really didn't want her around, she'd go. "If you have any trouble, just call me." she told him. He had a habit of being in the wrong place and the wrong time, she didn't want him to get hurt. She gave him a sad little smile and quickly headed out the door. She pulled up the hood of her jacket and headed off down the street, she would worry, she probably wouldn't be getting to much sleep that night but she knew Xander wanted time to think and she would give him that, he needed that. She sighed and took out her keys as she walked into her apartment building. She got to the elivator and quickly went up to her room. She just threw her bag at the end of the bed and flopped down on top of her covers, she was tired and she fell asleep almost right away.

Xander turned away from the Subway, and headed for someplace he didn't really know. It seemed strange how when you ask to be alone, you feel really alone. You know that someone is there for you, but they aren't always going to be there for you. In the back of his mind, Xander really wanted Emma to be with him. Sure she was annoying, but it wasn't really good when you didn't have someone to help calm you down. Then Xander thought about how he was just making life harder for Emma. She was really nice, and might not get that job she wanted all because of him. He thought she deserved a better partner, and friend.

Ezvar walked over to the man aswell, looking down at him and raising an eyebrow. He gave a little sigh and took out his gun, he spun it around his figure. He had learned the trick early in his career. He looked it over after a bit of spinning, he gently placed it back in its holster and crossed his arms. Ezvar shook his head sadly, this man couldn't be to smart if he had tried to attack Xione, never mind him. "You know, I'd really advise you to do as she says." he paused for a moment "Or we could kill you, either one I'm fine with." he spoke in a nonchalant tone, he only meant to scare the man but if he did try and attack a bolt would go through his skull.

[Mayiamaru]

The man grit his teeth and stood, brushing off his pants. He then fixed his jacket in a professional manor. Hmph... Just like this old man to hire such... goons." He spat bitterly, but in his ignorance boiled Xione's anger. "Goon?! Threat or not, you are dead." Xione's voice was menacing and demonic now, like a switch had been flipped to make her sound like that. The man ran the second Xione seemed angry, but of course, Xione gave chase. Clifford was able to stop Xione before she could run out the door though. "Xione! It's just an old thug. Don't let his meaningless words get to you." Clifford said while Xione continued to pull to go after the man.
