Child At Heart, Monster By Nature (A Shape Shifting RP)

(I thought that's what you did, it's not that terrible of a mistake... but that does have a ring to it! )

(Aw. Look at Amaryllis, standing up for herself... they grow up so fast )

(Lol! It does. )

(OMG! The starfish found a backbone! )

(Hey, now. Be nice Did you answer Amaryllis? My phone isn't showing that part of your reply, but my intenet has been working so it could be an error.)

"Well, think what you like, measly cheetah, but measly leopard here ain't gonna do much better against that hunk of a tiger," Ares said, chuckling softly as he crossed his arms.

"Is there something I could grab for you?" Priam said, looking around the room. Leverett was playing down the pain, which wasn't going to lessen any as the medicine wore off.
• • •
Allen threw up his free hand, palm exposed as he huffed slightly. "I knew that, Missy. So that's really not fair. No more trail mix for you." He swallowed another handful before zipping the bag up with slow and exaggerated movements.

Haley bit her lip nearly to the point of drawing blood as she listened to him, watched him. Maybe Amaryllis couldn't drive, but that was besides the point—right? She was joking, as she hoped he had been. Nonetheless, he was figuring her out little by little, and that had the opposite effect on her she'd thought she would have had. She tipped her head up to meet his gaze. "Dyrus, I thought I wanted passive. For a long time. It wasn't doing me any harm, where with obstinate others, cell and lab times were upped and they have scarred memories to show for it." She gritted her teeth, ignoring his own barely concealed canines as she continued. "I made it here nearly eleven years by being passive. It was barely living, maybe, but I wasn't dying like some. Then, when it came to it, I thought I wanted Anuerin. It seemed safe. Easy. There are advantages to being with the son of Ryker, you would think." She shook her head as she drew back. "If I really wanted passive, I should have ended my life years ago. You can't escape danger, not in this lifestyle at least. So why not embrace it with someone you actually want and care about, and returns those sentiments."

Andorra gasped with fake shock. "A measly leopard? Why does that not surprise me? Oh I know, because leopards are sneaky, they tend hide in the shadows and when you least expect it, they pounce on you! That's definitely you. " She said with amusement as she laughed.

Leverett shook his head. "There's nothing you could do. it has to be injected. " He said with a soft sigh.
~~~
Ashton scoffed and said as she watch his theatrics as he zipped up the bag, "It is fair. Like I said, you'd get a partial truth. You gave me a fourth of a handful I gave you a fourth of a sentence. Don't be hasty hairspray. Hook me up with some more and watch the sentence unfold as a full truth is revealed. "
~~~
Dyrus watched her as she spoke and wondered how their teasing could turn so serious all of a sudden. He hadn't ment it to take that turn, but he felt inclined to respond truthfully. "When I said passive, I didn't mean it as a bad thing. I was just pointing out my difference in temperament from Anuerin. Haley, if you think for a moment you are passive,....you'd be wrong. You're far from it. You went head to head with me and won my undying respect......and my love. You've challenged me in ways I've never been challenged before. Haley, you're the strongest women I've ever known. In all my training, I was never prepared for you. " He whispered intimately to her.

(Hey, now. Be nice Did you answer Amaryllis? My phone isn't showing that part of your reply, but my intenet has been working so it could be an error.)

(No, I didn't answer. I still had Silkiecuddles to reply to. I'm answering it next. )

(I thought that's what you did, it's not that terrible of a mistake... but that does have a ring to it! )
"No, Ryker." She said firmly, waiting until he was looking at her. "Last night I wasn't weak because I donated blood, it was my heart. I will never be normal. My heart will never be right, but if donating blood doesn't make me any less stronger than I am you can't stop me from doing it. I would do anything to be like everyone else, and now that I have this gift I won't waste it from healing the people that need it as much as I do." Amaryllis spoke with the passion and sincerity to convince Ryker that she wanted this more than anything else. While she was talking she noticed the man laying in bed at the opposite side of the room. She hadnt seen him when she first came in, but now that her attention was fixed on him it was clear the pain that he was in. "My brother needs my blood, and I'm pretty sure that man does too." Amaryllis voice was soft with concern as she lead Ryker's gaze to Leverett. "Take my blood, and then take me to the hydrotherapy room."

(Aw. Look at Amaryllis, standing up for herself... they grow up so fast )

Ryker followed her gaze to Leverett and dipped his head to look down to the floor. " It would take a liter of your blood to heal his injuries. That's 1/5 of your blood. It's too much for you right now." Ryker said stubbornly. He looked up to her as his expression turned clouded. "I haven't stopped looking for a suitable heart. When I do find it, I'll put it in you." He said more as a vow, then a sentence.

Dyrus watched her as she spoke and wondered how their teasing could turn so serious all of a sudden. He hadn't meant it to take that turn, but he felt included to respond truthfully. "When I said passive, I didn't mean it as a bad thing. I was just pointing out my difference in temperament from Anuerin. Haley, if you think for a moment you are passive,....you'd be wrong.

Haley, you're the strongest woman I've ever known. In all my training, I was never prepared for you. " He whispered intimately to her.

Ares stared at her, confused as to whether she was putting up an act and was suddenly going to be decent and joking about things with that laughter, or if it was sarcastic. Her leopard insult—if it could be called that—didn't bug him in the least, however. "Yes, and measly cheetahs like you just keep running from everything," he said cooly.
• • •
"Even a simple painkiller won't help?" Priam shrugged, not entirely convinced that nothing could be done, at least temporarily, to relieve Leverett's discomfort.
• • •
Allen paused his zipping. He narrowed his eyes at her, trying to gauge the truth in her sentence. "Okay, frog, one more chance. But you're getting a small handful because your last truth was nothing new."
• • •
Haley searched his face, reading what wasn't said verbally and committing to memory what was. "Oh, Dyrus," she murmured, pulling him closer by his wrist. "I didn't take your meaning to be negative, I was just saying what I felt needed to be said. But it put my name on your lips so I'm not complaining." She chuckled lightly, but it was interrupted by a quiet sob. "You make me very, very happy, Dyrus, and you don't know the compliment you pay me with your words. You've given me a reason to stay. To fight for myself, for us. I don't think I was ever prepared for you either."

Victor smiled at her through the window, and nonchalantly went to the cafeteria to get something to drink. After a few minutes, he returned to open the window, carrying a good choice of drinks, just in case she wanted something. He smiled at her through the glass, and finally opened the window to let her in.

Lucy still sat, animal form, on the branch as she awaited his return. As soon as the window was open, she jumped through and shifted barely before landing. "Took you long enough," she scoffed. Then broke into a smile when she saw what he bore. "Is that for me? A makeup gift since you locked me out here?"

Casey nodded again "Alright, it's good to know that Dimitri is as alright as he can be right now."

"If you'd like, I can have someone tell you—or tell you myself, if I'm not held up—if something changes?" Anne offered kindly. It was good to see that they were concerned for their fellow shifter.

Casey took a breath then nodded "Good, maybe we should both go shower just in case, but I feel fine." He said and looked to Amara then back to Anne

"If you think so?" Anne shrugged. "You should be fine. But since the virus is unknown, better safe than sorry."

Casey nodded again "Alright, it's good to know that Dimitri is as alright as he can be right now."

"If you'd like, I can have someone tell you—or tell you myself, if I'm not held up—if something changes?" Anne offered kindly. It was good to see that they were concerned for their fellow shifter.

Amara frowned slightly, while she had hoped to see him in person this would have to do. She turned to Anne when she mentioned letting them know if anything changed and she smiled a bit. "I would like that if you don't mind. " She mentioned to Anne with a nod.

She then turned to Casey, "Well if I need to take a shower you mind walking me to my room, I don't really want to be alone right now." She asked with a smile hoping he would go with her, she liked his company.

(Lol sorry about not mentioning the tail earlier) She turned to face him, thinking for a bit, before responding “I don’t know. I...don’t do much. You would know more than I would.” She giggled a bit shyly, embarrassed she didn’t know more. But she did want to spend the day with him more, so she could get to know him better and hopefully get closer to him. Because even though it might not have looked like it, she truly wanted to spend time with another person. She inwardly reminded herself not to press too hard, as everyone needed their own space.

William smiled at her as he absent mindlessly reached out and played with the tip of her tail. "Well after the beach we could take another walk, go to the library, play some games in the rec. area." He racked his brain for things they could do without putting her too out of her comfort zone by surrounding her with people. He smiled at her giggling, it was just too adorable.
