7-11-04 IC XLoneCrysoliteX: ::Rysina was in her room, still putting away some of the clothes, which she had got earlier, into the drawers:: Yngslayer: ::Jael sighed a bit after putting down the bag of clothes. They were so strange, how people dressed in this world. How did they ever move in clothes like such? Shaking his head, he decided he needed to talk with Ry. He had been too snippy and not himself, and part of him felt guilty. He had redressed in a pair of jeans that he had gotten and a white t-shirt that showed his bicep muscles.:: Yngslayer: ::Knock knock:: XLoneCrysoliteX: ::putting in the last piece of clothing, she pushed in the drawer and walked over to the door, opening it:: Yngslayer: ::Jael stood there, quietly until he prompted himself:: Hey...um...mind if I came in and shared words with you? XLoneCrysoliteX: Sure ::she opened the door more for him to come in:: Yngslayer: ::He walked in slowly, hoping he wasn't going to bring her spirits down anymore than he already had by talking to her:: XLoneCrysoliteX: ::she left the door open a crack:: Yngslayer: ::Jael sat on the edge of the bed:: I hope that I won't cause you any headaches by talking to you....but I know I've been distant and not myself around you--I've been snappy and rude. I'm sorry. XLoneCrysoliteX: I understand. I've just been worried about you and not sure how you're feeling about everything that's been going on. XLoneCrysoliteX: ::she went over and sat down next to him:: Yngslayer: It's been pretty much of a shock, I won't deny that or lie to you about it...and I was hoping that not being around you would help us both...especially after what did happen back in Evaelon. ::He still didn't feel that comfortable around her after that, and wouldn't blame her if she hated him or didn't feel secure around him:: I know I can't change anything that's happened...good or bad...I can only move on, as I've seen you do. ::He smiled faintly at this:: You really are a strong one, Rysina, I'm not sure if you realize it or not XLoneCrysoliteX: I'm glad you're trying to move on and talking to me about this. You just have to take it slow. Yngslayer: ::He nodded:: I am trying. Then I wonder and reflect on the things this...Kyle has told us about our new, um, environment and it seems to be a slightly different kind of survival. Yngslayer: I'm ashamed to admit that I'm used to being waited on and being given things without a thought XLoneCrysoliteX: Well, you just have to adjust the best you can. Yngslayer: How can you adjust so easily? Or is it just mostly an act? Yngslayer: ::He looked at her:: XLoneCrysoliteX: ::she was a little surprised by his question:: XLoneCrysoliteX: I did have to adjust in that dark dimension as well XLoneCrysoliteX: ::that was only half of it:: Yngslayer: And? XLoneCrysoliteX: It just was a little harder on me than having to adjust to here Yngslayer: Well. At least now you have someone to go through it with you XLoneCrysoliteX: ::she smiled at him:: Yngslayer: Forgive me for being a jerk to you? XLoneCrysoliteX: ::she nodded:: Yngslayer: ::I hope so, he thought quietly to himself, looking slowly away from her:: XLoneCrysoliteX: ::he seemed to be feeling much better and she was glad because it had been a while since he had been "himself":: Yngslayer: Well, I should go. I'm sure you have things to do Yngslayer: ::he went to stand:: XLoneCrysoliteX: ::she didn't, but she stood as well:: Yngslayer: ::He moved towards the door, feeling awkward:: Thanks. For listening. XLoneCrysoliteX: I'm happy you came to talk XLoneCrysoliteX: ::she went over to the door and opened it for him:: Yngslayer: ::He nodded, then left:: XLoneCrysoliteX: ::she watched him leave, then closed the door:: XLoneCrysoliteX: ::biting her lip, she thought about what he had said. She was, partly, an act:: XLoneCrysoliteX: ::adjusting wasn't too hard for her, but being thrown out of her home, Jael almost dying...it was hard for her to deal with:: Yngslayer: ::Jael went downstairs and sat down on the sofa, staring at the off television set and sighed to himself. He was disappointed in himself; he should've been more of a leader and he hated the fact that Ry saw him at one of his weak points:: XLoneCrysoliteX: ::To her it felt like that so many times, she had come close to losing everything. Sometimes she wished she didn't care as much as she did. Sometimes the pain was just too much:: Yngslayer: ::Jael closed his eyes for a bit, resting them as he allowed himself to become lost in thoughts:: XLoneCrysoliteX: ::Rysina saw down in the middle of the floor, a little ashamed. What had happened? She used to be able to handle everything by herself:: Yngslayer: ::He knew that he needed to end his thing of being loverboy sick for Rysina. He had ruined any chance between them when he couldn't control his new powers, and he felt awkward over her. And, well, with everything that had happened, he did love her, but a different sort of protectiveness ate at him when it came to her, like that of an uncle or brother:: Yngslayer: ::Kyle hummed along to Werewolf In London by warron zevon in the shower:: XLoneCrysoliteX: ::Now she was even having a hard time trying to give advice to Jael and comfort him. Now it seemed he was beginning to see that she was some kind of...fake or something:: XLoneCrysoliteX: ::Standing, Rysina went over to the window and opened it, looking out:: Yngslayer: ::Kyle opened the door to the bathroom and walked out, sighing with relief, happy to feel clean:: XLoneCrysoliteX: ::She looked down, and after a few moments, climbed out and jumped down, softly landing:: XLoneCrysoliteX: ::she walked off a bit into some woods, and, upon hearing the sound of water, eventually discovered a lake:: Yngslayer: ::Kyle wondered downstairs to join Jael and after sitting in silence for awhile, they began to talk some:: XLoneCrysoliteX: ::It was beautiful, and made her feel a little bit more at home. She sat down at the water's edge and put her hand into the cold water:: XLoneCrysoliteX: ::it felt nice to get away from the house, as well as the rest of the human kind of civilization for a bit:: XLoneCrysoliteX: ::maybe she hadn't adjusted as well as she had thought:: XLoneCrysoliteX: ::she laid back in the grass, feeling relaxed by this environment:: Yngslayer: So...yeah...sometime in the future you'll probably have to get a job or something, but um. That hair won't work. Yngslayer: Why? Yngslayer: You look too...Californian gay boy looking ::Kyle admitted slowly:: Yngslayer: Californians are happy? What's wrong with that? Being happy should be good... Yngslayer: Eeehh...Jael. I mean. Queer....faggotish... Yngslayer: Faggot? Does that relate to maggot? Yngslayer: ::Kyle closed his eyes:: Jael. Listen to me. Okay. Nowadays, gay is a term used for the same sex, you know, male/male, girl/girl? ::At his nod, Kyle continued and said:: Well, you look like you've never hit puberty, in the face at least. You too virgin looking and squeaky clean Yngslayer: ::Jael glared:: One of us needs to be squeaky clean Yngslayer: What are you saying, ears? Yngslayer: I'm saying you would fit right at home with that...thing on TV the other day! Yngslayer: ::Kyle pointed his finger at Jael's chest:: Watch it buddy. ::He then smiled:: I did try out for the porn business, but they were sooo cheap. Yngslayer: ::Jael groaned:: Yngslayer: I could get you work at the place I left.. come to think of it... Yngslayer: I'll pass ::Jael glared more:: Yngslayer: Well, you'll have to find work...somewhere. They could teach a beginner like you some things! Yngslayer: ::Jael rose up to his feet:: What are you implying? Yngslayer: ::Kyle shrugged:: Just saying that you look like you've never got to use any of that special elf mojo Yngslayer: We don't sleep around like...things like you would. We have more respect Yngslayer: Uh huh Yngslayer: Just haven't found the right man? Yngslayer: ::Kyle didn't know why he was pushing the issue, maybe it was out of boredom and he wanted to see how far the elf could be pushed:: Yngslayer: What did you say? Yngslayer: ::Kyle repeated himself:: Or are you afraid of using that stuff with her? Out of practice? ::He frowned:: 'less you're an eunuch or something... Yngslayer: ::Jael grabbed him up off where he sat:: That's enough! I didn't come down here to be taunted by your....stinking and homely self! Yngslayer: ::Kyle grinned:: I love it when you talk dirty to me Yngslayer: ::At that, he went flying backwards, landing on a table and breaking it:: Yngslayer: I don't know who you think you are...but YOU watch yourself, whatever you are. When I find out what you really are... Yngslayer: ::Kyle looked at him, brushing himself off:: You'll do what? Yngslayer: Cut your tongue out, how's that? ::Jael stormed upstairs:: XLoneCrysoliteX: ::The front door slowly opened as Rysina stepped inside:: XLoneCrysoliteX: ::Closing the door behind her, she walked in, looked around, and noticed the broken table:: Yngslayer: ::Kyle was picking himself up from being thrown:: Heya XLoneCrysoliteX: What happened here? Yngslayer: Oh, nothing XLoneCrysoliteX: ::she sighed and went over to sit down on the couch:: Yngslayer: Why did you go? XLoneCrysoliteX: Oh, I just needed to get some fresh air... Yngslayer: Ah.. XLoneCrysoliteX: Look, I don't have to tell you anything Yngslayer: So we're back at that, are we? XLoneCrysoliteX: Yes, we are. Yngslayer: Good ::he smiled:: XLoneCrysoliteX: ::she looked at him, then turned away, irritated:: Yngslayer: ::Kyle shook his head at her, then started to clean up the mess with the table:: XLoneCrysoliteX: ::she was beginning to feel more and more uncomfortable around him. He already knew a lot about her, yet she still knew nothing about him:: Yngslayer: ::After cleaning the mess up, he walked up towards her:: Look, I might have to leave you and Jael for 3 or 4 days. I need to take off before it gets dark tonight. I can call in a friend to help you guys with anything and just to make sure you two stay outta trouble XLoneCrysoliteX: Okay.. Yngslayer: ::He wrote down his number on a piece of paper and gave it to her:: You can reach me on my cell during the daylight hours. Use that ::he pointed at a phone:: to reach me. It's easy to use, the numbers you see on the paper, you press on the phone. Understand? XLoneCrysoliteX: ::she nodded:: Thanks Yngslayer: ::He smiled, then went over to the phone to call his friend:: XLoneCrysoliteX: ::she watched him, just to make sure she knew how to use it:: Yngslayer: ::When he was done, he hung up:: Yngslayer: He'll be over in an hour XLoneCrysoliteX: ::she put the number down somewhere next to her on the couch:: Yngslayer: Now um... Yngslayer: This friend of mine... Yngslayer: He isn't all...quite there. XLoneCrysoliteX: What do you mean? Is he some kind of ghost? Yngslayer: No. He's as solid as you or me, but upstairs, I mean. ::He tapped his head:: The guy's head Yngslayer: He has personality issues XLoneCrysoliteX: Oh.. XLoneCrysoliteX: And he's supposed to check up on us? Yngslayer: Um. It's the best I can do Yngslayer: And don't let him fool you, if there's any danger, he'll protect you XLoneCrysoliteX: I wonder what other kinds of friends you have are like.. Yngslayer: You wouldn't want to know 'em XLoneCrysoliteX: Yes, I know XLoneCrysoliteX: ::she was a little edgy towards him:: Yngslayer: I'm sorry, I really am. But you really don't want to know me XLoneCrysoliteX: But I do! I don't understand what the big deal is to just know who you are XLoneCrysoliteX: Maybe you're just some murderer, and you're waiting for the right time to kill us. Yngslayer: Guess you'll have to find out, huh? XLoneCrysoliteX: Why don't you just kill me now then? Or maybe I'll just do it for you? Bet that'd make it easier on you. Or maybe it wouldn't...but who really knows?! Yngslayer: No one does, it seems XLoneCrysoliteX: ::she shook her head at him:: I don't get why you're helping us then. Sounds like you don't care about anybody Yngslayer: If that was true, then I'd tell ya my life's story XLoneCrysoliteX: Then it's probably that no one cares about you, since no one seems to know you anyways Yngslayer: Not anymore at least. The last one that did, she's dead. How's that for knowledge? ::He walked away:: XLoneCrysoliteX: ::she sighed, angry:: XLoneCrysoliteX: ::is this what it would take to find out just a little bit more about him?:: XLoneCrysoliteX: ::she shook her head again, still frustrated:: Yngslayer: ::He sat on the bottom of the staircase, waiting for Murdock:: XLoneCrysoliteX: ::she picked up the piece of paper next to her that had the phone number on it and began to make little tears at the sides, making a little pattern on the edge:: Yngslayer: ::So an hour passed and Murdock did arrive:: Yngslayer: ::Murdock was wearing a black shirt with a fading batman logo and pants, shoes, and a blue baseball cap:: Hey Kyle man! Yngslayer: ::pound pound, knock:: Yngslayer: ::the door opened and Murdock was let in. he looked around and looked at Rysina:: Heya chica XLoneCrysoliteX: ::she looked over and smiled nervously:: Yngslayer: This is...Murdock. Murdock meet Rysina. There's another one, Jael, upstairs. Yngslayer: ::Murdock nodded:: Yngslayer: Don't do too much talking okay? Yngslayer: Awww....don't worry about us at all man. We'll watch some Woody Wood Pecker, watch walls melt and midgets sing. It'll be great! XLoneCrysoliteX: ::Rysina got a sick feeling in her stomach:: Yngslayer: ::Kyle doubted that. He looked at Ry:: I'll see you soon. Be careful and he can be trusted. Have fun Yngslayer: ::he rushed out the door:: XLoneCrysoliteX: OOC Yngslayer: OOC Back to Faeries/Elves
