[IC] Behind The Light - crawkid/megara

[Crawkid]

"Why am I here..." he hums, slowly relaxing again. " Well, as it turns out, you see a lot when you're just a stray cat. I ended u here in the scrapyard, where I thought there would be no one else....I was wrong but, theyre not bad people. I don't...even remember when I decided to join."

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ash smiled and sat up, standing up and facing him. “Well then it means I have to think about all of this in more detail…” she moved to get another fruit when suddenly her eyes went it of focus and she stumbled, a strange presence wrapping around her. She heard a voice say to her “your starting now my starlight…it’s time to start the rebellion…then you can finally set me free”

Ash suddenly fell and hit the ground, landing on her side and her eyes closed. Around her shoulders appeared sparkling specks of star dust.

[Crawkid]

Chi seems to grumble, but sighs. Perhaps in responce to all the questions.

When she falls however, he is quickly by her side. There is a moment of hesitation as he notices the odd magic hanging around her, but with a growl he ignores that, giving her shoulder a shake "Hey, hey...dont be weird!"

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ash didn’t answer as the door was thrown open and Dante stood there, eyes glowing brightly. “Chi? What happened? I sense magic in here. A strong one. Crap is she alright?” He moved to kneel by her side, touching her shoulder and finding the dust. “Star dust? How on earth did this get here?”

[Crawkid]

the catman looks up as dante suddenly enters the room, shaking his head as the vampire asks questions, "I dont know"

[MegaraFoxfire]

Dante moved and flipped Ash into his arms, wanting to check her over and pull her closer to get a rise out of Chi. He sniffed her closely and said “she’s not harmed. I sense a massive power flux. Something touched her mana that over loaded her. We need Astra. I want to make sure she wasn’t hurt magic wise”

[Crawkid]

Dante succeeded in getting a rise out of Chi, seemingly his hackles raised with what seemed like careless handling. But his irritation faltered as he nods in agreement, and relief of her lack of being harmed, "aura too then"

Astra was still studying in the library.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Dante looked up then smirked slightly and sniffed her neck closely, a hum escaping his lips. “She does smell delicious…I wonder if she would let me have a taste…” he moved to pick her up and said “shall we take her to Astra? Or would you rather I take her alone?”

[Crawkid]

"Dont" chi says, stiffeniing, his tone is a clear warning, more serious than Dante would have heard if in a long time, if ever.

At the vampires questions, he shakes his head and shifts back into a tiger man as he steps forward again, "I'll take her"

[MegaraFoxfire]

Dante stood with the tinker in his arms and he raised an eyebrow. “Oh dear. Seems I’ve touched a nerve. Is this you laying a claim on her dear chi?” He smirked and turned saying “let us take her to together then” he walked out, a dark smile on his lips.

[Crawkid]

"No its not" he grumbles, contfused at first, and then irritated at the teasing. but the teasing just contiues, with him trailing after the vampire "I said i could carry her"

[MegaraFoxfire]

Dante said “I know but moving her back and forth is jarring. And I am strong enough to carry her. I’m enjoying her scent as well” he made it to Astras office and knocked on the door. “My lady? We have a small problem”

[Crawkid]

Chi huffs, but lets dante do what he will...except a small hissing sound as dante talks about her scent

Inside, Astra sighs heavily, "Alright Dante, come in."

[MegaraFoxfire]

Dante opened the door carrying the tinker inside and moved to the desk. “My lady. Our tinker seems to have had a spell of sorts…Chi can you explain what happened before I came into the room?” Joking aside now.

[Crawkid]

He pauses, and then awkwardly shrugs. "She asked me questions. Why Bane was here. If I orchestrated everything for her to join the group...and then she liked my answer and....fell down?"

[MegaraFoxfire]

Dante looked at him and said “really? You were not paying attention to our guest then. There is stardust all over her. That means something of the nightly heavens made contact. My lady, may I be given permission to taste her blood to learn the truth?”

[Crawkid]

He shifts uncomfortably, "I can...see the dust stuff, but I dont know as much as you guy, and I cant see as well either. I cant see auras or anything."

Astra looks at ash, coming over and gently patting her cheek to see if she will wake.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Dante laid Ash down on the couch in the office and moved back, watching his lady. “You need to sharpen your eyes Chi. What if something had attacked her under our care?”

Ash stirred slightly when Astra touched her skin, their shadows reacting to each other.

[Crawkid]

Chi pouts and goes to a corner, sulking.

"Give him some leeway, Dante. Liquid shifters are specialized survivalists by nature, its hard for them to learn new magic...but maybe I can find the time to teach him...or you can."

She looks down with interest, watching as their shadows intermingle, putting just a little more of hers out to play with it and try to get more reaction.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Dante sighed and said “sorry kitty cat…just feeling very protective for some reason…not sure why…” the shadows moved into hers and then Ash groaned softly and opened her eyes. “What…what happened? Chi?”
