	[color=red]" Don't kid yourself, Cyn. You can't beat me without your wards. And now that I know about them, they won't work. Go sit down."[/color]

	Sable started to walk pass her, his eyes focused on the base of some large object he planned on sitting near. A moist brown was almost entirely covered in the suffocating white of the blizzard. But he picked out the minuscule scent buried in it as lumber. Surrounding it was other splintered and torn apart pieces of wood, some looked to be charred years ago, perhaps the remains of a scorched cabin. 

	He sat down and loosened his arm. The Exceed wasted no time in brandishing its small wings and stumbling through the air. It wavered slowly away from him but refused to stray no more than five feet. It was cautious of its surroundings and dependent on his presence it seemed. He smiled gently at the exceed's attempts to fly faster than its wings could carry it. 

	[i][color=red]The crazy cat likes to rush about huh?[/color][/i] he thought to himself. [i][color=red]That's not a bad name. Rush. I think I'll call it Rush from now on.[/color][/i] 

	[color=red]"Yo, little Exceed,"[/color] The Exceed paused in its tracks, its dark blue eyes resting on him. [color=red]"How do you like the name Rush?"[/color] 

	Strained touched its cyan-furred face before dipping from the air and rising up again. A second passed before it lost all magic and fell towards the ground. Sable pushed himself forwards, the snow piled on his face but the small weight that fell into his hand told him he caught the little guy or gal. He pulled his face from the snow as water pooled underneath him. 

	[color=red]"Y'know what, I'm calling you Rush anyway. You're stuck with it."[/color] He pulled himself up onto his bottom.

	Rush fit perfectly in his hand and before it knew it, had began to cling to him. Sable scooted to the base of the ruined cabin, his hand trudging through the snow as he did. 

	[color=red]"Rush it is then."[/color]
