Being loved [Midnight, Open]

[thunder]

"Vasceta! I-" Thunder cut herself off after the suddenness of what happened subsided. She had heard Graal's voice cut through the air earlier, but left it to no mind for she knew he lived in the western ruins. She sighed as the wind brought the scents to her.

Graal and Midnight would know for sure she was there. Still, she kept to the plant growth and went to the other side of the clearing before popping out next to Graal. She was unsure of what to say and it clearly showed when she simply muttered a hello to them all.

Thunder hardly knew what was going on except for what snippets of conversation had told her earlier. It seemed that Midnight had got herself in a bit of a tight spot and Graal had demanded explanation. So, Thunder instead of verbally asking what in the world was going on cocked her head slightly at Midnight. Surely, with the demanded explanation she would explain the problem and what was happening.

(( I'll wait a day or two, see if Rel posts, if not, I will ))

OoC: Haha thanks, Kicker ^^;;

iC:

One wolfish brow raised slightly at the words which then flowed from Midnight's lips. It wasn't exactly what he had been expecting... but she made everything sound so... impersonal. He released a soft sigh. He wouldn't show that he was upset in any manner. Rather he glanced at Frozen, then Graal... he caught a new scent and ears perked. Ah, it seemed another joined them. She didn't seem a stranger.. though she was to him.

His golden gaze returned to Midnight, wondering how best to respond. He didn't want to be harsh... but... he felt like she had something to learn from this. If she hadn't already. Finally, he sat back on his haunches, not feeling like there was any need to be guarded - well - at least from a physical attack anyway.

"I see," he said finally. "Well, I hold nothing against you, Midnight. You may do as you wish, of course." He paused, glancing at the others briefly. "I did not mean to disturb anyone further if I have done so." He dipped his head, a smile coming to his lips though didn't quite reach his eyes. Perhaps he should just move on. That would be best, he thought. He didn't leave quite yet, though.

"Perhaps we might all become better acquainted."

"She's lying... Why does she lie to me? She knows I won't punish her..." Graal thinks to himself, his heart giving a small pang.
"I know it wasn't about his wings, she knows, he knows, so why lie...?"
Graal nods in what he hopes to be acceptance.

The rustle of leaves behind him is accompanied by a familiar scent, comforting,
"Thunder..." His head murmurs, his tense muscles relaxing slightly as she stands at his side.
"Thank you for coming, Ash Drappa..." he says, smiling at her before he turns back to Midnight, his eyes reflecting the conflict within his mind.
"Midnight-" he begins, hesitant, "Midnight." he says again, his voice under control now.
"I know what you are going through, trust me. Whoever you choose, I won't oppose you..." he finishes, soft eyes boring into hers with reassurance that he'd be by her side.
He glances between the two males, his eyes pinning each of them.
"If anyone hurts Ash Drappas, I'll hunt them down and make sure they suffer the fate of death, after I make them beg for it." he warns. "I know the both of you have wings, so I know you can match her skills, challenge her as I cannot, protect her as I cannot, and you will have my blessing."

[Midnight]

((Its frozens turn, right? Yea………)))
((EDIT: nevermiiiind))

Midnight couldn't believe that Graal was doing this. She was grateful beyond words, and she knew who she would choose, regardless. "Wings…wings…" she thought aloud. "Oh!" Launching herself in the air, she hovered above the clearing, and shouted to the two would-bes, "Best me!"
Midnight had no doubt that Ainoko would not understimate her, bit she wasn't sure about Frozen.

(( Does anyone know if Forget comes on anymore, if he's on holiday, ill or just lurking? ))

[Midnight]

((Like i know shes been on (i c her on the 24 hour log-on) but she hasn't posted anywhere.))

[xxforgetxx]

((As I explained to Graal, I was just kind or waiting for others to reply x3 I haven't been on in awhile. I lost my... muse for awhile because of something that happened in another roleplay. I needed a break, and after checking a few times with no replies, I just decided not to get on at all >.<; Uhm, anyways.... I think I'll reply finally @_@ Eep, I'm really, really sorry. But back near the end of February, I was checking and there were really no replies. I checked at the beginning of march, I think... But I haven't really been on since. I got on today, and I saw the message from Graal and I realized I shouldn't have just disappeared like that. I;m sorry TT-TT))

Frozen looked from the new wolf to Graal, then Ainoko and glanced at Midnight. She mad eit seem so... Had that really been the reason she had come out to meet him? Mentally, he kicked himself for being so stupid. Was that really all she was interested in about him? Or was she making an excuse as to not get in trouble, or inflame Ainoko? And if so, then why was she making excuses for this wolf? Did she have feelings for him? A lot of questions ran unanswered in his head, but he could truly do nothing about answering them. So he kept them to himself.

Frozen frowned deeply at Graal's words, and shuffled his paws. Was it even really about that anymore? Midnight had said so herself it was about his wings. His mind shifted back to the questions from before, but he was quick to shove them away again. Frozen shuffled his wings as well, and was quite surprised when Midnight leapt into the air. He watched her go for a moment, eyes darting between her and Ainoko, wondering if he would follow as well. Without waiting for him to do so, he glanced at Graal, wondering if he was serious, and then leapt into the sky, his huge wings easily holding his body weight.

Frozen flew up slowly, until he reached Midnight's altitude, then beat his wings so that he would hover near her. He decided he would wait for Ainoko, just to see what he would do. Would he follow? Surely, he would. It seemed these two had feeling for each other, as well. He glanced back over to Midnight, a frown forming on his face. The questions tumbled forth again, but he was careful to keep them to himself as much as possible. What was this about, really? That was his main question. He doubted she would answer him honestly, atleast not in front of Ainoko or the others.

(( pssst, midnight, your turn ))

[Midnight]

((I thought it was rely's? Should i post anyway? Yes, i think i shall. ))

Midnight waited for one of them. She was ready when Frozen appeared in front of her. His attention was distracted momentarily, ans she took advantage of it, darting in to get the first hit. She went close enough in front of him to reach out and touch him, but instead bended her neck around to his ruff and yank down and sideways. If it worked he would be spun and lose his balance. She didn't do it to be mean, but it was sort of a compitition. She couldn't be soft on either one.


((Ps frozen that's ok ]

[xxforgetxx]

((Going to wait for my turn now x3 Though I already have a reply ready c:))

((Edit: o.o))

Frozen yelped in surprise, and flapped his wings to keep his self aloft after the sudden shift in his balance caused him to plummet a few feet in spins. He looked up at her confusedly and kept the distance between them now the same. "I was waiting for Ainoko." He called, frowning as he flapped his wings and brought himself level with her, but still at a distance.

"I'm not even sure what you're doing." He admitted, looking at her quizzically as he tried to determine exactly what is was that she was doing. He frowned again, not really understand what she was asking of him, nor what he was supposed to do. "Atleast explain so I know what's going on. Then I shall do as you wish." He explained, making sure to keep a certain distance between them. He didn't like the whole scruff pulling business she had done earlier, and he was not eager to relive the act again.

[Relairah]

OoC: Oh man... sorry for that, Forget. It was partially my fault although I figured you just had stuffs going on. I've been very busy the past month and haven't roleplayed at all. x.x Sorry for that.

iC:

Ainoko turned his gaze toward Graal as he spoke, giving his own warning and instructions. At first, what he meant was unclear, but then as Midnight rose into the air and shouted her own challenge, he supposed she could take whatever spin she wished. However, he thought this whole thing was strange. Why challenge Midnight? What... for her approval? He shook his head. No. He refused. It was against everything he believed in. A female was never to be challenged unless she had proven herself evil and worthy of suffering. Midnight had only ever made some foolish decisions and had some growing up to do. But who hadn't been there done that?

He watched as Frozen rose into the air, seemingly confused, and was slung by Midnight. He was certain Midnight could hold her own. She didn't need to demonstrate it to him or prove it to him. And he knew that she knew of his own capabilities. To him. This was pointless. He rose his head strongly and looked at Graal. "I am able to challenge. True. But I will not." He paused, turning his gaze toward Midnight though he spoke to them both. "To challenge a female over nothing done wrong is wrong in and of itself. I refuse to fight one whom I am supposed to protect. That is contradictory and pointless."

He lowered his gaze once more, though kept himself alert. "Do as you wish. I withdraw." And with that, Ainoko began moving off into the trees. He did not wish to make this situation any worse.

[Midnight]

"What I meant was, if you prove that you can beat me, you win." While she waited for him to comprehend, she hoped he would act against her. After a few minuites, Ainoki said his peice. She smiled softly, and disengaged from Frozen and landed near Ainoko. "That's what I wanted to hear."

((I had no idea how to say that. I feel like its unfair to frozen because he didnt know what midnight wanted, and she just explained it then chose ainoko right after. :/ suggestions?))

[xxforgetxx]

((It's not a problem Rely c: And Idk what to tell you Midnight >3< Normally I just let stuff play out, but it's really just yur choice xD Frozen's not going to die over your decision, I promise And I won't has any hard feelings c:))
