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

Zoe headed back to the garden to use it to leave the compound and get out into the forest. She made sure he stayed with her as she went out to a stream and a large log that made a cover near the stream. She climbed up to the top of the log to take a seat there.
He followed her onto the log, and took out some candy from his pockets, giving her some with a smile. He took some of the food from her, and began eating, happy alongside her in the woods.

Zoe smiled at the candy, taking it to eat some of it first before the crackers and peanut butter. She liked this spot, it was one of her favorites to disappear off to.
 
Charles nodded, and sat down next to her, looking at her patiently to begin. His mind was open and his eyes were calm. He said quietly "You can start if you want all up to you. I'm just here to listen."

Layla sighed not sure where to start. "I grew up in the system, I was a small child easily picked on. I had one friend, she was bold and brave where I was not. She got adopted, she left me and never came back. I didn't know what to do without her and it didn't take long for people to realize I was easy prey. I was abused by the kids, by adults, it didn't matter where I went I always became the victim one way or another. I chose this path, being here with Ryker. I sought him out to change me, make me strong so I would no longer be a victim. I don't hate you or anyone really, I just don't trust and I don't make friendships, such things are dangerous and just not within my nature anymore. Its easier this way." She felt better having talked about it, although she didn't know what to do now. If he told anyone about her, it would just solidify her distrust of people. This was the first step she had ever taken to not hate someone and she wasn't sure what it meant.
 
Lilith smiled, and laid floating alongside him, her wings outstretched. Her face was serene and calm, her body relaxed, as she floated on the calm waves.

Maddox floated at her side content to just be there with her. And for a time neither of them said nothing, just enjoyed each others comfort and companionship.

Charles nodded, listening to her story attentively, replying "That really sucks. I'm sorry." He thought for a bit, before saying quietly "I understand. That makes sense. I'm sorry you feel that way and that your childhood was that way. But, Layla, if you don't try anything new than you'll never change. Imagine if you had someone to cry to, who would comfort your sorrow. There's someone for you like that everywhere, waiting to be found. But you have to let them find you first." He smiled bleakly at her.
 
Elliot noted as he ate, noting "This place is beautiful. It matches you." He smiled at his flirting, honest about his words yet still a bit abashed.
Zoe blushed, her cheeks almost matching her hair before she ducked her head shyly. "It is beautiful here."
