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

[StarrNico]

Ryker looked between the two quietly and sighed heavily. "Well this is most inconvenient. You see, I'd chosen you both to assist with a mission. Now it would seem your priorities are probably compromised. Love is a distraction and I need both of your full focus on this job." He said with mild disappointed.

Zoe frowned and looked to Ryker then to Elliot and back. "We are going on a mission?" She asked excitedly.

"I beg to differ, against my will," Alexis argued. "There aren't enough humble and nice people in the world. And I don't think I fall in that number."

Haley straightened so she could look him in the face. "I didn't take you for one to give up so easily," she said, frowning slightly as she considered his words. The thought of Anuerin right now only added to her still hurting head. Without hesitation, she lifted Dyrus' hand to her lips and kissed lightly across the knuckles, letting her lips linger for a moment.

"We're hardest on ourselves and I do believe you fall in that category. " Dimitri countered logically.
~~~
Dyrus's eyes watched her actions with intensity. As the silken warmth caressed his knuckles, he instantly longed for them to be upon his own lips. But he held fast and replied quietly, "Who said I was giving up entirely? One bought of binge drinking does not equate to a defeat in my book. Just coping with a new found weakness."

Rowan frowned and just looked at her as if he didn't know what to do with her action and he didn't, not really. "Yeah, they did, why are you hugging me?"

Areum quickly stood up at his words, not understanding why he didn't like her sympathy. She said quietly as she took her turn "I was just sympathizing with you; what happened to you was horrible."

Iris replied "That must be interesting for her." She added as they walked "But your power is really interesting as well, even more so."

Gideon frowned slightly and shrugged, "I suppose so. But it's not really a power, as a natural element of my base animal. But thank you anyway. " He replied honestly.

Ryker looked between the two quietly and sighed heavily. "Well this is most inconvenient. You see, I'd chosen you both to assist with a mission. Now it would seem your priorities are probably compromised. Love is a distraction and I need both of your full focus on this job." He said with mild disappointed.

Elliot replied with a nod, "I understand it might seem that way, but I'm not forgetting who helped me in the first place. I am ready for a mission, the love issue will not interrupt you plan."

Gideon frowned slightly and shrugged, "I suppose so. But it's not really a power, as a natural element of my base animal. But thank you anyway. " He replied honestly.

Iris nodded, opening the door to the veranda for him. When he entered, she found a seat.

Maddox spread his wings wide as he took her hand to continue walking. "oh I can be very majestic if you like. " He said with a smile and a chuckle as he folded his wings back to make walking beside her easier. Sometimes she was pretty silly, but he loved her. She could make lite of things and made it easier for him to enjoy life here.

Lilith smiled, taking his hand as they walked. She sighed in the silence, serene with him at her side. The wind made her hair flow behind her, until it switched directions and got all in her face. Lilith, a bit frustrated, sorted out the hair from her face.

Layla saw clearly on his face how he felt after reading all that. She had always felt the same way about Ryker, he had given her a home and more he had given her strength. After hearing everything explained from the articles by Leverett she felt much the same way he did. She wandered back over to her clothes and began changing back into her old clothes to hang the dress up. She didn't know who it belonged to and the last thing she wanted to do was make Ryker mad by damaging some dress if it had value. "No wonder he hid that up here, probably not something he wants to remember." She said glancing over her should to him as she changed. "Wonder what other secrets are hidden away up here?"

"Don't worry, I will make you look real pretty when I braid your hair." Adrian said with a smiled at her little pout. He focused on the game giving an excited shout as he scored the last goal. In truth he didn't care who won, him winning meant he got to get all up in the gorgeous hair of hers, which smelt like heaven. And if he lost he got to feel her soft fingertips massaging in his hair, totally worth having to rock some braids.

Leverett hadn't realized what Layla had been doing by the clothes, until he caught a glimpse and quickly turned away to give her privacy. He occupied himself with putting the letters back in the trunk and locking it once again. "Yes, which is why we mustn't be caught up here." He replied thoughtfully. He made a mental note to buy Layla a dress next time he was out. She seems to enjoy it greatly and he wanted to see her happy.

Willow put on a show at loosingthe game. But secretly, she was very excited to feel his fingers in her hair. She stepped forward and said, "Well, looks like you win. I suppose we should do the do in my room. I have the brush and ties there at least. Unless you have any better place to braid my golden locks?" She almost purr with contentment.

Areum quickly stood up at his words, not understanding why he didn't like her sympathy. She said quietly as she took her turn "I was just sympathizing with you; what happened to you was horrible."

Rowan watched her with a confused look before he focused on the board. He took his turn, but wasn't as focused on that now. "You are pitying me?"

"Wow," Alexis said, placing a hand on her hip as she turned to look at him "You really are an endless fount of genius." It came across as a joke, but she really did enjoy all the random things he was spouting.

"The bottle is never the answer to helping one cope," Haley said, smiling sadly. Letting their hands fall to her lap, she looked up at him. "Please, don't forget that."
