quietly walks down a river, holding a box close to him. He looked a little sad.
looks down and picks idly on his sweater. He can hear faint footsteps but figures it's just some tedious animal.
slipped a bit, sending some stones into the water. He kept the box held close though, making a small sound of panic at almost losing it.
became more attentive when the "animal" made a very human sound. He smirked slightly and got to his feet. His tail curled around one of_
his legs as he leant back against the tree, hiding partly behind it.
rubbed at his eyes a bit as he found a spot near the other, not noticing him yet. He sat down and made himself comfortable, keeping the box
watched him curiously, sneaking closer.
just looked down in the water, frowning to himself.
hums, thinking of how easy it would be to play this human to his wishes. He keeps that thought in the back of his head as he_
approaches his 'guest' with a small smile. "I seldom see your kind 'round here."
blinks and turns his head to look at the other... Giving him a good once over.
watches him with a faintly gentle look; he didn't want to scare the human away.
smiles kind of sadly at him. "Hallo."
waves his hand lightly in response. He takes the few steps to the mans side and sits down beside him. "Why're you so far from home?"
smiles as he looks down. "Ah... I just... kinda needed to get away from everythin'." Mostly humans. And other things.
nods as he kept the conversation going, tail flicking slowly behind him. "'s understandable. People can be annoyin'."
nods. "Ja..." He noticed something move behind the other and leaned to the side to try and see what it was.
smirks faintly and waves his tail more. It was always interesting to see strangers' reactions to it.
smiles softly at that and tries to touch it.
blinks. That was normally the reaction he got from children. He shrugs lightly and moves it so it brushes over the mans fingers.
smiles and lightly grabs it. "I knew ye weren't human..."
tilts his head and looks at him. "D'you encounter none-humans often?"
nods a bit. "Ja..." He let go of the tail and smiled up at him. "Do ye?"
slipped his tail down to the ground again. "Yes... Unless I seek out humans myself, there's not too many out here like there was before."
nods a little. "I see..." He hummed quietly and looked back into the water.
frowns slightly at the man. "Though.. You're human, aren't you?"
hums, pleased with that. He glances at the box in the others lap. "..Is that a .." He paused, trying to remember the word. ".. Lunch pack?"
chuckles a bit as he looked at it. "Kinda..." He opened it to reveal some cupcakes.
raises an eyebrow slightly, staring skeptically at them.
smiles up at him. "Do ye want one...?"
crosses his legs and leans over to get a better look. He pulls back and wrinkles his nose a bit. "They smell ..sweet."
nods. "Mhmm. They're very sweet. I love sweet things..."
absently taps his fingers on his thigh. "I normally keep to salted food.."
talks one out and holds it to him. "Ye can try a bite, and if ye don't like it... I'll have the rest. Sound good?"
switches between staring suspiciously at the cupcake and the man.
blinks. "What? Do ye really not like sweets?"
shakes his head. "No.." He concludes the man isn't trying to poison him, and takes the offered cupcake with slender fingers.
smiles and took one himself, biting into it after.
tilts his head as he tries to figure out how to go about the amount of icing. He glances over at him and blinks. That looked messy...
licked his lips slowly, smiling afterwards. So good...
shrugs, copying the others actions. "Hm.. Not too bad."
smiles. "I'm glad ye like it!" He continued to eat it until it was finished, and sucked on his fingers a bit.
swallows thickly on nearly each bite; his throat hadn't been in the best shape lately. He seems pleased when he's done though.
smiles at him, not noticing his trouble. "Want another...? It's kinda depressin' if I eat all these myself..."
frowns, flicking his tail. They were good, yet didn't do him any good... "One more, then."
smiles and held out the box. "Pick one! There's some vanilla, chocolate, rainbow... cherry chip ones..."
blinks as he spots one in several colours. "..How d'you manage to make one out of the rainbow?" He was starting to doubt this guys humanity.
just rolls his eyes and hands it to him. "No questions. Just eat."
huffs quietly and takes the seemingly unexplainable treat. "If you insist."
smiles and grabs the other rainbow one, eating it happily.
((And I'ma sleep. Ye should too, missy! ))
(( Yup. I was just a bit happily dumbfounded when dad didn't cut the Internet xD Natta <3 ))
catiously licks the colourful icing. He eats properly of it after, thinking it certainly did taste like a trick.
can't believe his luck when he happens upon two of his victims at once. He stands in the trees, watching the scene from the shadows. ((
Just ignore him. He's only creeping, because he's always there :3 ))
smiles at the other after he finished another cupcake and licked the icing off his fingers. "Do ye like that one?"
nods approvingly, coughing lightly into his fist. "It's better than expected."
laughs faintly at that. "I'm glad ye can eat them, and they ye enjoy them..."
shrugs and folds the messy papers left together, dropping them back into the box.
sucked lightly on his fingers some more as he looked into the water. "It's nice here... Is this where ye live?"
crawls closer to the brook to clean off his fingers in the stream. "Not exactly."
watches him. "Where do ye live then?"
sits down by the water and places his feet in the water. He glances over his shoulder at him. "Wherever suits me."
smiles. "That must be nice. Not havin' to be limited in one certain location..."
shrugs lightly again, idly swaying his tail. "As long as there's a natural water source."
nods and watched his tail. "So what are ye...?"
hums faintly, moving his feet around in the water. "Does it matter?"
shakes his head. "Nej... I'm just curious."
absently watches his reflection dance on the water surface. "I don't know the name humans might've put on us. All I know is that I'm a_
hums and nods as he nibbled on another cupcake. "Oh, I see."
nods slightly and falls silent.
just kept his eyes on him. "So what do ye do?"
looks over to him with a slight glint in his eyes. "Play."
blinks and sits up a bit straighter. "Play? Play what?" He liked games and stuff!
hums amused and drags his feet up from the water. "Music."
smiles widely. "Really? Can I hear?"
"Of course." He smiles lightly as he gets up and walks over to a hollow tree, taking out the instrument and its bow hiding_
there with gentle fingers.
smiles even wider and turns to face him, closing the box of cupcakes and watching him.
"Please, feel free to dance." He smirks, not that the man would be free to choose not to at all soon enough. He drags his fingers_
lightly over the strings, easily ignoring the birds flying from their branches.
smiles and nods. Once he started hearing the tune he began to sway, suddenly having the urge to dance. For now though he just swayed~
starts up on a powerful melody, tapping his foot on the ground. He smiles to himself when small animals stops abruptly in their_
tracks, and starts running around in tiny circles or up and down on their branches.
laughs a bit at that quietly before getting up and closing his eyes, starting to dance and twirl slightly.
's expression brightens as he watches the man dance. Oh, it had been too long. He continues playing his song, making the leafs rustle_
thought the music was beautiful. It had lighted his mood up so much, and he almost wished it wouldn't stop.
isn't dancing, although the music lures him closer. He stays just in the shadows, watching the proceedings with his blank face.
's eye twitches slightly as he experiences that creeping feeling again... He shakes his head and focuses on the music_
and the happily dancing man, effectively ignoring the uneasy air.
smiled as he danced, before having to stop and cough into his hands a few times. He was starting to feel warm too...
frowns at that, keeping the melody going. He'd never seen anyone stop to his music before, which made him even more annoyed at the creature_
coughed a bit more before shaking his head. "Ugh... I don't feel good..." He chuckled a bit at the other. "It's not yer music, don't worry."
huffs, irritated as he finished his song. He looked around angrily, swatting his tail on the ground.
wiped a faint bit of blood from his mouth, frowning at that. He cursed quietly before picking up his box of cupcakes.
grumbles as he stashed his instruments back in the hollow tree. This was the first time in his life the enchantment of his music had been_
overpowered, and he hated it. He cast a faintly worried look over at the man. "Does.. that happen to you often ?"
frowns and shakes his head, wiping some sweat from his forehead. "Nej..." He was tired too.
scowls into the woods again before turning back to the man. "We should get away from here." His voice was slightly hoarse,_
frowns a bit. "Why? I like it here..."
come out into the clearing by now, head tilted as he watches them both. He's why
blinks and tilts his head the same way as him. "Who's that?"
makes a pained sound upon seeing that damned creature again. He glares at it and growls. "Not a friend."
walks towards it, curious.
simply stares at him, or well... has where his face is meant to be facing him. He lifts a tentacle arm, easing it slowly towards him.
huffs and yanks the man back by his collar, glaring instensly at the creature.
shakes his head and goes back, smiling at how long his arms were. He pulled some rope from his belt before holding the two
ends up. "Hold this end with one hand and the other with this end!"
tilts his head, as though questioning the man's sanity before reaching out and touching him... Ahh quiet.
made a faint noise before stumbling back, backing up into a tree. His vision was starting to fade, but he kept trying to fight it.
makes a choked sound and takes a few steps back, eyes shifting between the human and the monster.
starts to glide off, content for now that they were sufficiently scared.
wasn't scared per-say... just confused. He just wanted to play with him.
didn't move until the creature was out of sight - or so he assumed at least. Once it was gone he submitted to the fits of coughs he'd been_
holding in while it had been near, knees trembling.
starting to not like the thing... He kept fighting the slow slip into unconsciousness before having to bite his wrist and nibble on it.
relieved when he didn't cough up anything else than air and glanced over at the other.
slowly sliding down the tree, but kept sucking on his wrist. It was about the only thing keeping him conscious right now. He was starting
to heat up though, and he wasn't feeling that great.
waits, uncertain on what to do, until the man meets the ground. He picked up the box and placed the food on a rock before scooping water_
into it. He warily walked over to him, crouching down and held the box out to him.
glances over to it before looking up at the other with half closed eyes, his vision still blurred.
frowns when he doesn't take it. He didn't see the point in this guy being in such a poor shape when he'd been nice and not drowned him_
earlier. He watches him carefully. "Can you talk still?"
nods faintly, still nibbling on his wrist. "Ja..."
hesitates a few moments... He slowly brought the box up to the mans lips. "'s water. Drink."
nods and stopped biting his wrist, taking the box carefully and sipping some water. That seemed to be almost exactly what he needed now.
sat down by him as he waited for any sign of the human getting at least a tad better.
finished the water and sighed as he wiped his mouth. He looked at the other again, his vision clear now. "Tak..."
watched him with an unreadable expression. He nods shortly, voice slightly hoarse still. "'s fine."
coughed a little into his hand. "What... was that?"
closed his eyes for a moment and rubbed at his temple. "No idea. It keeps followin' me." He sighed and got up, walking away from_
him to sit down on the riverbank.
nods and gets up, following him. "Has he ever touched ye before...?"
puts his feet back in the water, moving them around. "No. Just creepin'... 'n I'm glad, seein' how you reacted to it."
nods as he splashed some water in his face. "Wasn't fun... at all..."
absently watched the current flow past them. "Can't imagine." He didn't understand how the man had thought so in the first place.
nods a little and looks over to the cupcakes. "... Want the rest of them?"
shakes his head and slides to sit down in the brook, not caring about his clothes getting wet.
watches him. "Will ye be okay, mister....?"
"'m fine, I think you're worse off." He felt much better once back in the water.
chuckles a bit. "I'll be okay soon enough... I'm never hurt long."
simply nods. He didn't really care about his well-being.
didn't think so. He rubbed his throat a bit before getting up. "I'ma go home... that thing kinda made me real sleepy."
"Y'do that." He paused and looked over at the cupcakes left. "'n take those with you."
hums. "Ye sure ye don't want em?"
moved his hand absently around in the water. "Yes."
nods and shoved one in his mouth so he didn't have to carry many.
just waits for him to leave. He wasn't used to humans being around him willingly for this long.
thought he was pretty good for giving him water. He left soon after.
