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

[Nariah01]

Leah was proud of herself for taking that large step of friendly affection. She didn't know how much that meant in this culture, but for her it was like a hug. She realized she might be too much. But in the end, she had to be herself, and she was returning to bebthat cheerful but secretive person she used to be. She laid down on the grass near a creek in the river, sighing softly.

William smiled and hummed to himself as he went inside and headed in the direction of his room. A nice hot shower would make everything so much better. He hummed happily to himself all the way to his room before letting himself in. He took a nice long hot shower, he didn't care if he used all the hot water in the mansion at this point. He got out of the shower and flopped down on his bed, as happy as could be. Maybe he would snag some food from the kitchen and for when he went back to see Leah.

( Is he driving her nuts yet? )

Liam chuckled, he wondered who the 250 pound bag of muscles was. He had some ideas but didn't want to say. He followed at her side down the hall wondering if it would be insensitive or prying to ask about her tattoos, he had asked Harper about hers, but then again Harper was already his friend. "So what are your tattoos about? Do they mean anything? I've thought about getting one but didn't know of anything that would significant enough to get. I hear Atalanta does some around here, that is where Harper got hers done. I've watched some of you spar by the way and to be honest its sort of terrifying how serious some of you take it." He chatted happily deciding to just be himself since she hadn't told him off yet.

(Haha! A little bit, but it'll keep things interesting )

Samantha instinctively touched the letters tattooed across her knuckles upon hearing his question, the rest of her tattoos showing up in her mind. "They each mean something specific. Atalanta is a very good artist if you decide to get one. She did a couple of mine, but the rest were done by outside sources," she said quietly. She swallowed hard then decided to skip ahead to his next subject. "Ryker's done a lot for us. The least we can do is give our very best back to him, by whatever means," she said, managing to avoid answering his compliment, if it was that.

Leah laid down on the floor, continuing to sing in her soft angelic voice. She began singing that folk song about the prince who saved the princess from the dragon. It was the one dear to her heart: her mother always sang it to her as a child. A single tear welled up to her eye, which she brushed off quickly.

Elijah glanced at her then at his feet, he had never shared this with anyone. When he would look out at the stars and planets he had always been alone. "Sure, I've never really done it with anyone before. I've always done it alone, might be nice to have some company. We would need a way outside, the higher the better to see the most. I used to have a telescope for this, but I don't have it anymore, wish I did." He said quietly at the end, he had built with his father, he wondered if they still had it.

Aquene responded "Maybe we can ask Ioan." She asked "But if he doesn't have one that's fine. We could do something else or just lay outside, it's all your choice." She looked up to him, waiting for his response.

Iris smiled, responding "Want to eat breajfast together? I'll go take a quick shower before and meet you guys there if you want to do it."

Victor headed to his class, looking around for Lucy. He felt worried for her, that outburst wasn't normal. However, he wouldn't approach her. She needed her space, he decided.

"Sure!" Atalanta agreed readily. It was definitely nice hanging out with people that weren't clients or her brother. Priam slipped his partially wet shirt off and tossed it at her, then immediately made up for it by opening the door for them. "We'll see you then," he said with a dip of the head.

Lucy listened for footsteps below. Nothing. She bent her little coon face over the edge and, seeing no one, jumped down and shifted. She grabbed her backpack up and hurried down the hall for her first class.

(I was assuming that it had been awhile since he went to sleep, and that he might be awake by now. But now that I think about he's only been asleep for a few hours. She could show up at his office and realize he's not there. Maybe she could come across Eirik in the halls, that could buy some time?)
"Thank you." Amaryllis replied, beaming at his kind words. She left the room with a sense of confidence gained in Vasper's encouragement and walked down the halls to wait for the elevator.

(Eirik is in a cell, but he can be peeking out the slot in the door. Will that still work? I could be interesting. )

( Interesting is what I am going for. I think she will click better with Harper when they meet. Or who knows maybe she will just hate all my characters, lol.)

"Maybe I will get one, who knows. Needles don't bother me its more that if I am going to put something into my skin I think it should mean something. Much like yours do, and its ok you don't have to tell me about what they mean specifically. I know its a bit personal and you don't really know me." He added with a smile as he walked along side her. "I get it, giving your best for Ryker. You know your one of the few like you that will talk to me. I mean actually talk to me, thank you for that, even if you didn't want to." He added with a knowing smile. He may not have super senses or anything special like that but he had intuition and he knew that she was clearly not used to someone like him, that talked this much that is.

It was the one dear to her heart: her mother always sang it to her as a child. A single tear welled up to her eye, which she brushed off quickly.

William eventually got up and got dressed in some fresh clothes and ran his fingers through his hair, messily combing it. He then headed off down stairs to snag some things from the kitchen staff. He hadn't eaten a solid breakfast so he was hungry after his run. He figured he could grab some stuff to make himself a breakfast on the go. Then head out to see if Leah was really still out in the same spot.

Aquene responded "Maybe we can ask Ioan." She asked "But if he doesn't have one that's fine. We could do something else or just lay outside, it's all your choice." She looked up to him, waiting for his response.

"Sure, maybe we will get lucky and he'll have an old one sitting around somewhere. If not we can still go stargazing I am just not sure where. We aren't really allowed outside, wonder if there is access to the roof?" He mused as he considered whether or not he should be breaking rules by going outside. But he so wanted to, if they could find a way to make it work he would. It had been so long since he had done it, and breaking a few rules wasn't the end of the world.

(@NickyKnack are both your new peeps in cells? If so let me know if you want Harper to come in anytime. She is just hanging out in the lab so she is free if you are wanting to get those guys started. )
