@Fionraella Misha smiled and moved her hand to scratch his fuzzy lil' head. "I don't think this makes me a good person." She gestured to the camp with her free hand. "Look! I got us into this mess!" She sighed. "And I... didn't stop you. You tried to kill yourself. You're just a kid, and you did that, and I just stood there, yelling like an asshole."

Xavier walks along the forested path. He wouldn't really call it that. It was just more walked on than most of the other directions from camp. He runs a hand through his hair, scratching the back of his neck as he looks around. "Hmm." He mutters to himself, noticing how cold it was. He grumbles and makes a mental note to make more poison as soon as possible, and sharpen more daggers to use. With the temperature going down, he'd be unable to use his animal form, and battles would be a lot tougher for him.

[sorry for the brutality here omg nothing personal
she's just a mean person]

Misha glanced up at Brick, her eyes cold. "I don't need your input, asshole," she hissed, teeth bared. She glared at him over the flames, then moved closer to Destin, as if to shield him. She glanced back at the boy, ignoring Brick's presence in favor of her conversation. "We're gonna clean this mess up, somehow. Definitely... Yeah. I'll fix it. I'm sorry."

Leo smirked as he watched his prey. He stalked Xavier calmly, quietly, slowly getting closer. He paused a moment, before he lunged and suddenly tackled Xavier to the ground. He sniffed at him, trying to see if the boy had anything edible on his person. He was more than a little bit hungry, haVing been unable to really get a decent meal in the last few days. He'd kept being interrupted by various people and animals that barged through the forest. It was annoying honestly.

Xavier gasps as he's tackled. He blinks as the boy began sniffing him. "Hey now!" He tries to gently push Leo off, realizing how young the boy was and not wanting to hurt him. He tries to sit up. He could feel his poison pouches under him and he didn't want to adjust his weight in such a way that would pop them. Nothing would happen, but he spent weeks making that amount of poison.

<Snipped quote by Fionraella>

Leo snorted lightly and refused to move. He snarled at Xavier and glared at him a bit. He lifted up Xavier's shirt and snorted, before getting off of him and crossing his arms. He was looking at Xavier ad if he'd just committed a great offence or something. He growled lowly, rather irritated at this point. "Hmpf, you no have food..."

<Snipped quote by AkeelaQ>

Xavier slowly sits up. He looks at the boy. "I don't carry food with me on short trips like this." He holds his hands out in front of him, slowly getting to his feet. "Would you like to come back to my camp with me?" He asks, noticing the boy's broken english. "We have food there that you can have. You can even have your own tent to sleep in, and warm fires during the night."

Misha looked at Brick. "Alright. You gonna tuck me in, or can I stay here and watch this kid who almost died - y'know, just now?" She patted Destin gently. She was exhausted, but rage still burned behind her throat when she thought of all that had taken place. She mulled over who she was blaming - maybe everyone, maybe no one. Maybe herself. Glaring over the firelight, she tried to consider the perspective of the Rabin. He was just doing what he thought was best for his group. More than I can say for myself.

<Snipped quote by Fionraella>

Leo barred his teeth at him a bit and tensed up, looking like he may attack Xavier again if he wasn't careful. He snarled lowly and listened to him. "Just want food. People too noisy. I no able hunt cause you!" He snapped, before huffing and glancing towards where Xavier was going. He pointed at him. "You take me food now."

<Snipped quote by AkeelaQ>

Xavier groans, shaking his head. "Kid, i'm not heading to food. I'm going to collect... nevermind, not important." He huffs and starts walking. "If you want to come along, sure, whatever. But dont expect to actually get any food this way." Man this kid has a horrible attitude problem. He thinks to himself.

<Snipped quote by Fionraella>

Leo narrowed his eyes at Xavier and growled low. He snorted and sniffed at him unsurely. He grumbled and sighed heavily. "Fine... I guess... I jus want food, thought people have food, but noooo..."

<Snipped quote by AkeelaQ>

Xavier chuckles. "You're cute kid. What's your name?" He asks, before holding a hand out warily. "I'm Xavier, please don't chew my hand off. I know you're hungry. We'll get you food." He wonders where the best place to get food would be. Kid looked like he had eaten in awhile, and Xavier really didn't feel right sending the boy off without anything to eat.

<Snipped quote by Fionraella>

Leo narrowed his eyes at the larger boy and snorted. "Fine..." He took his hand and shook it firmly. "I Leo. I no eat hand if take me where food is." He smirked a bit, barring his teeth in warning.

@Fionraella Misha shrugged. "I don't know. I mean, you're cute and fluffy and part of the family, apparently, but I'm still a prisoner of war." She sighed. The bruise on her thigh ached, reminding her of yet another injury expressly as a result of her rash lack of thinking and another one-sided battle with someone who could throw her - human or animal - across the river without lifting a finger.
