[IC] The Two Sides

"I'll wait for you." Aya promises, and puts him down on the ground. She looks longingly at him and clears her throat. "Ah... Perhaps you'd like, um, something for good luck?" She stares awkwardly at the ground in front of his paws. This always seemed so much more natural in the romantic movies she'd watched as a child.

Destin stretches and then looks up at her. "Like a good luck charm?" He flicks his tail. "I dunno, I mean, you're the only good luck I need!" He rubs his face against her leg. He smiles up at her warmly before shifting human and hugging her. "You're so sweet Aya, I really hope we can go out when I get back!"

[Hawksnest565]

Aya huffs for a moment, and can't help thinking that boys simply had no common sense when it came to romance. Had Destin watched no romantic movies? "This is the kind of good luck I meant!" She pulls him in after hugging him and gives him a quick kiss on his lips. "There!" she tries to sound tough but her strawberry-red face gives her emotions away. "You stole my first kiss so... Well, I stole it back! So you better come back to date me, okay?" She gives a satisfied nod.

Destin blinks a bit. "Oh uhh.." He then smiles at her. "It's okay! I really like you, so of course I'll be back!" He holds out the broach so she can see. "Can't go running off without this, now can I?" He smiles and quickly kisses her lips. He then giggles and runs across the river to the Brom side.

[Hawksnest565]

Aya smiles happily and sits on the ground by the river, enjoying the view. She so rarely came just to look at this place since she was so often scared of running into Broms. The threat of that happening now ran through her mind for a second but she calmed herself and just focused on the rushing water. Destin would be back soon. There was nothing to worry about.

Destin wades across the river. He reaches the other side and shivers a bit. He wrings out his shirt, before turning and waving to Aya. He smiles and then runs between the trees, eager to hurry up and find Elauna so that he could return back to Aya. He smiles, thinking about their hug and kiss. She was so cute!

Jayden padded into camp in his mountain lion form. His tail flicked lazily as he headed to a fire to it next two. His eyes gazed around at the empty clearing and he wondered where everyone was. It wasn't that late in the day, was it?

@wallaberry

Elauna walks out of her tent, noticing and hearing movement outside. She notices a lion and scoffs. She walks over and punches jayden in the side. "C'mon lazy ass. We're going out." She then begins walking towards the camp exit without waiting for his response. She had no time for whining or nonsense today. Their healer was missing,and she knew these lazy assholes wouldn't lift a finger to go look for him, so of course she would have to.

[wallaberry]

Jayden turned his head to follow the coarse Healer. "Sure, I guess." He shrugged off her harsh tone and rose to follow her. He bounded forward and met her as they left the camp. "Where to?" He asked, as they moved along.

@wallaberry

"The river." Elauna says curtly, glancing at him briefly. She then scoffs. "You guess?? Our healer is missing, our ONLY healer is missing, and you guess you want to go find him?" She shifts and bowls him over, setting a paw on his throat. "Fabine may tolerate those who wish to be passive in our destruction. But I don't. Now we will find our healer and bring him back, and you will do everythng in your power to ensurehis safety. Am I clear?"

[wallaberry]

Jayden snarls and places his large paws on her chest to shove her off. "Chill the fuck out, Elauna." He collects himself and looks at her with irritation clouding his gaze. Jayden was usually patient with his firey groupmates, but Elauna was being too aggressive. "You act like Destin is dead. He's probably just collecting herbs." Jayden's tail lashes as he pads ahead of her.

Elauna snarls and darts in front of him. She glares at him coldly. "You don't get to speak to me like you're my superior Jayden." She brings her face up to his. "Don't you dare talk to me like this again, or you're going to wait up one night missing a limb." She snorts and trots away from him, heading towards the river.

[wallaberry]

"You're acting like you're my superior! You don't just get to have my respect if you think I'll tolerate this." Jayden flashes back, digging his claws into the ground. "Your threats don't scare me." He walks after her and watches her angrily.

"I am your superior though Jayden. I always have been, and always will be." Elauna sneers a bit. "I never asked you for any respect Jayden." She says calmly as she pads through the forest. "If you're not scared, however, then you're a fool. You know I could slit that throat of yours with ease."

[wallaberry]

"Killing others doesn't make you superior. It makes you a murderer." Jayden shrugs passively, not intimidating by her show of ego. "But whatever makes you feel good about yourself." He continues after her silently. His eyes follow her figure as they near the rushing water. He just wanted to go back into the forest on his own at this rate.

Elauna pauses at the mention of being a murderer. "I'm not a murderer. I killed in the defense of our group, there's a difference." She says hotly. She snorts and quickens her pace, ears flicking as she hears the river up ahead. She narrows her eyes, seeing a figure up ahead. She snarls and runs towards them, bowling them over without a second thought, pinning them down. "Got it!" It was Aya.

[Hawksnest565]

"Aaah!" Aya screamed, totally unprepared for the assault. Really, she should have seen this coming. Didn't she know by now that the Broms patrolled their borders like hounds? "Please! Let me go!" she begged, struggling against what she realised was a wolf. She didn't know whether to be relieved or concerned that she didn't recognise the shifter. At the very least, it wasn't Fabine who was attacking her. She remembered that he was an owl.

@Hawksnest565

Elauna sneers and brushes her teeth against Aya's skin. "Let you go?" She asks softly, laughing. "I don't think so." She snorts. "I'm looking for our healer, Destin. You haven't seen him by any chance, have you?" She then recognizes Aya. "Dammit, you're the Rabin healer aren't you?" She grumbles and steps off. "My apologies." She says gruffly, sitting on the ground.

[wallaberry]

Jayden scoffs at Elauna's claim. He knew she was lying, or at least trying to justify her actions. He wasn't going to have it. Instead of arguing though, he follows after her. At the sound of the impact he picks up his pace. He eyes Aya and then Elauna. "What is going on here? Why are you passed your border?" He looks down at Aya, much larger than her.

[Hawksnest565]

Aya lets out a sigh of relief and stands up, brushing off her pants. "Um, thanks for recognising me." She hesitates, not sure where to go with this conversation. It seemed unsafe to just tell two Broms that Destin was going to leave them from the Rabins, but it seemed an equally bad idea to lie about knowledge of Destin's whereabouts. In the end she settled for a compromise of not specifying what was going on. "Ah... Well... I saw him on the other side of the river not too long ago. It looked like he was heading deeper in your side of the forest." She looks with fear at Jayden and takes a few steps backwards. "S-sorry. I didn't realise I was on your territory."
