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

Vasper looked to Layla and felt the same way. "I've never been real good at making friends. I'm glad I met you, Layla." He said quietly as he looked to the label he'd been peeling off the root beer. " I think the benefits would be two-sided from our arrangement. " He admitted with a sense of hope.
~~~
Madison made a face of true disgust. "That you could have taken to your grave. Bears are nasty if they do that." She said with a shudder.

Eirik frowned and admitted, " I have issues with Ukraine. They made me an animal long before Riker ever did." He looked to the door across the way, before returning his gaze to Saskia.

Alastor chuckled nervously and focused upon Eliana's outstretched palm. He took a steadying breath and stepped past the threshold. Her hand his goal at the moment. He took ahold of her offered limb as if it was his mooring to safety. "I know I'm ridiculous, who's afraid to go outside? I've always had this condition. At least with the work I do here, it makes it a lot easy to live with. But it's debilitating none the less." He replied solemnly.

Layla looked up at him in surprise, she never figured he would get anything out of their arrangement. But if she could help him in any way she was pleased. "That makes two of us, never really had friends before Leverett. I had acquaintances, and toys, or I guess everyone else that in my mind was there for my amusement. Friends are a new concept for me, but I would be pleased to call you one as well." She said with a firm nod in his direction. She could hear the hope in his words, and she had admit she was hopeful they could help each other as well.

Saskia grinned up at her friend, "nope had to share it. Once its in my head it doesn't leave until I have corrupted someone else head with it. Hope you don't hold it against me." She said sincerely to Madison before turning back to Eirik.

She looked at Eirik for a moment before answering as she continued to work on the lock. "The name is Dutch, my family immigrated to the states before I was born, they kept the traditional European names. And I am a polar bear, if it matters." She said quietly as she concentrated, although she was unsure what to do with the information provided to her. She was starting to wonder if she was making a bad choice here, it wouldn't be her first, but it didn't mean she wanted to make another.

Eliana felt a little bad for him as she watched him walk slowly towards her like it was a difficult task. When he got to her he grasped her hand like a lifeline, it was strange to see him like this she thought. Downstairs in his lab he was in his element, out here it was totally different. "Well you can't help what your afraid of, but look, you made it. Your outside, in the sun and fresh air. We did it, together. " She said giving him a smile, she then looked up at the sky, taking a deep breath of fresh air into her lungs. "Thank you." She said quietly, knowing this was a big deal to him.

Sam followed the girl with her gaze, breaking it once to look to the two now seated. She debated about going to say something to Nick, maybe gloat a little more after she beat his butt in their last sparring match, but the little bit of good sense she had said not to. So instead she followed after Ellie, taking up her offer as she seated herself across. "Thanks," she said, nearly a murmur. She didn't come here to eat. She wasn't hungry anymore, thanks to Harper, but she didn't want to keep her own self company at the moment.

"your welcome." Ellie said simply as she opened a bag of chips and offered some to Sam. "Want some, I have more snacks then I have room for here." She said with a nervous laugh. Oh come on Ellie, it didn't used to be this hard to talk to new people she thought, pull it together woman.

"Yeah, happy to help," Zaine said, with a thin smile.

Anne nodded and turned away to let the two in. "Hey, he's awake and willing to talk. But not too long, okay? I don't want you wearing him out." She grinned at the two as she held the door open. Dimitri seemed fine, really, but it was best to take precautions.

Alexis sat up instantly when Zaine entered the room. Oh shoot. Please, don't let him be here for what I think he'd be here for, she thought worriedly.

Dimitri looked to Zaine blankly as he came in. His hand going to Alexis as her cat form sat up. What was the deal? He wondered absently.

Zaine immediately spotted the fat tabby seated next to Dimitri. Oh, that was really great. He cleared his throat. "Um. Hey, man. I heard what happened and just wanted to uh stop by and um see how you were doing." Not entirely truthful, but seeing Alexis here, he assumed they'd worked something out. Meaning his purpose here was void.

Anne left to go back to the main office to give them space. Too many people in that size a room.

Dimitri scowled at Zaine's manner. " Funny, I didn't think we were that kind of friends." He stated darkly with a neutral expression. He rubbed his neck and said simply, "That's nice of you, but you're only nice when you want something. So what do you want?"

Zaine switched Lyra's bag to his other hand and glanced to her. Now was about the time an emergency exit would be great. Meeting Alexis's green cat eyes, he stared hard at her while he spoke. "I had something else to say, but I think it unnecessary now. Good to know you're not mortally injured. I mean it when I say I'm glad you're okay, for my sake as well as others." He inclined his head slightly to Alexis then turned to go.

"Wait. Tell me. I want to know what happened." Dimitri implored of Zaine. He removed his hand from Alexis's back with a bit of distaste. Had she run after that male in class while he was injured? He thought bitterly.

Zaine sighed, a little louder than he meant. He really didn't want to have to talk about this if he didn't have to, but geez, his neck between Dimitri's tiger teeth later didn't sound too appealing either.

Alexis glanced up at Dimitri and pawed his knee. She then glanced to Zaine, interested to hear how he was going to explain this. Honestly, hopefully.

"I ran into Alexis after her last class with you and she was just about in tears, man." This is what he would have said without her present so she'd just have to listen. "She gave me the reader's digest version of what happened and I said I'd talk to you. But I assumed you two worked things out now."

Lyra felt bad, she wasn't sure what to say to get him out of this. especially since Dimitri was a bit more intimidating then she was expecting him to be. When he had explained what he had come to explain she stepped forward to try and give him the escape he had asked for earlier. "Thats good, hey we should probably head out, I don't want to miss the light from my window for that sketch." She said to Zaine hoping she didn't somehow make things worse.

Rowan looked to her and hugged her closer for a moment then relaxed "I like this too"

Areum smiled, before responding teasingly "You seem to like everything when I'm around, huh?"

 

[Nariah01]

Leah smiled, his encouraging words hit her in the heart. She laughed "Thank you, I'll try that more my dragon." She laid her head on his strong shoulder, feeling safe and secure with him in her presence.

William smiled and hugged her closer as she leaned into him. "good, i am glad you will." He replied as he kissed the top of her head affectionately.

"your welcome." Ellie said simply as she opened a bag of chips and offered some to Sam. "Want some, I have more snacks then I have room for here." She said with a nervous laugh. Oh come on Ellie, it didn't used to be this hard to talk to new people she thought, pull it together woman.

Samantha shook her head in the negative as she leaned back in her chair. "Nah, I ate a little while ago." She smiled just enough to show her fangs off, sensing that the girl was terribly on edge already. She then sort of chided herself for not helping the girl settle any more and offered her hand out. "I'm Sam. You're Ellie, right?"

 

[StarrNico]

Areum smiled, before responding teasingly "You seem to like everything when I'm around, huh?"

Rowan looked away then nodded and shook his head "It's different, but yeah. You make my world a better place."

 

[NickyKnack]

Donella chuckled and nodded "Yeah, I hope so, maybe someday we can cook for them?" She suggested.

"Oh, now that's a good idea. But sadly I don't know how to cook that well." Andorra said honestly.

 

[NickyKnack]

Adrian smiled at the others as they got up to leave. "Your welcome, glad you could try it out." He said to them as they got up from the table. After they had all left he smiled down at Willow before giving her a deep kiss. "Alone at last, I have to admit it was quite sexy seeing you get all fierce over me." He said with a smile as he looked down at her.

" Well good manners dictates that you don't come to the table, partake of the food and insult the host. You handled yourself admirably, but I however, could not let that pass. If you perceived it as sexy, so be it. I find everything you do sexy, Stud Muffin. Especially when you knead dough, because it leads to the best pizza I've ever had." Willow said with an adoringly smile.

 

[StarrNico]

"Oh, now that's a good idea. But sadly I don't know how to cook that well." Andorra said honestly.

"I could try I guess, I just have to read some more books on cooking first" Donella said, frowning in thought.
