Lav shot a quizzical look at the shirtless demon boy.Take watched the two interact from behind Kipp, he noticed that the fox talked.
Wait. is she a part of our group?
Lavender noticed the uncomfortableness in Kipps voice and the painful look on his face. her empathy kicked in, breaking through her fear and awkwardness and she quickly jumped after him. Crying out with all her heart.Kipp looked away uncomfortable, his stomach turning. More rejection. Why do I even try? He forced a small smile turning back to her. "No it's fine, I know it's lame. Never mind." He said talking over her. Only to stop with her saying she was a coward. He stared at her mortified, his inner voice yelling at him echoing how he imagined she would interpret what he said. 'No it's fine... you're a coward.' That's what you get for interrupting people, now not only does she think you're weird, she thinks you agreed with her about her being a coward. He shook his head to break eye contact and stumbled up and back. "S-sorry." he managed to whisper. His heart was beating hard in his chest. Why do I have to be so weird? Kipp glanced over at Take, who had been there the whole time. He smiled uncomfortably at him, before turning and jumping up into the air. It didn't matter where he was going, anywhere but that exact spot was where he wanted to be.
"No! No! I didnt mean to hurt your feelings! The orb just seemed to have such sentimental value to you! I didnt want to take it away from you! Its not lame! Its beautiful, sure its scratched and scuffed but that adds to its beauty! Dont be sorry, Im the one whos sorry!"
She landed on the ground with a heavy thump and watched him fly away with heaviness and regret in her heart. The last few words came out barely audible.
"Im sorry..." She murmured. "Please dont go..."
