"Can beat him up?"

[Rayleonarde]

Ray shrugged. "Maybe. It'll be hard for me, though, given that I'm using you as a crutch. Thank you, by the way."

[Ryan Naismith]

"I... I dunno." He said, shrugging "Let's go to class, I think we have miss Munson next."

[Aconitum]

Dannie nodded. "Okay. Well, I'll beat him up, and you can kick him as best as you can. Right between his legs."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray chuckled. "So I can fall over, right? Unless I use my stub, I guess." He hopped along, towards the kid with his leg.

[Aconitum]

The kid saw Ray and Dannie. He cracked up.

[SilverSolstive]

Remulus some weird kid not knowing the situation stood in between them. "No one gets hurt and everyone feels safe." Remulus said. As Ray yelled "Pysche!!!" Dannie located his fist in Remulus's jaw. Blood sprayed from the side of his lips. Remulus almost rendered unconscious performed a flying spin kick on Dannie aiming for the side.

[Rayleonarde]

((I'm so confused...What happened there, Sol? Ray's a one legged kid, and doesn't fight. Dannie's, from what I've seen, is the violent one.))


Ray approached the group, with Dannie's help, and smiled. "Excuse me? It seems, you've got my leg. I need it, please."

     "C-carry you...?" Aaron asked skeptically. He sighed.
     "I don't know about that, Animus. But I am curious about this tree. So let's go anyway."
     Aaron stood and gazed into the distance with his sharp eyes.

[Babydoll Animis]

Animus looked down a bit disappointed but then smiled and nodded, "Alright!" he didnt know what came over him to ask that in the first place. He also realised Aaron started calling im by his full name again.
-Animus dont you dare get your hopes up. He is a straight guy after all as far as you know he could still just consider you a close friend- Animus thought to himself

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

     Aaron ignited the fluttering in his stomach and started walking. Thankfully Animus hadn't been too crestfallen. Still...it had been an oddly tempting thought. Perhaps on the way back...?
     *what am I thinking...?* Aaron frowned at himself as he crossed the road - checking it is times each way as he did so.

[Babydoll Animis]

Animus followed close behind occasionally looking up at Aaron, studying his defined features and physique, he blushed a bit. He then looked ahead and sneezed again, "ugh im sorry i dont know whats wrong with me, allergies maybe..." Anims giggled a bit and kept walking noticing the attentiveness Aaron had on the road,

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

     Aaron finished crossing and strode to the park gates. He stopped and caught Animus' hand - but only so animus wouldn't grab it and drag him across the countryside again.
     "So where lies the fabled tree?" Aaron asked with some skepticism. He was honestly far away, thinking of his master and family. This trip was messing with him too much. At least if they were out of town,Ani wouldn't be hurt. Animus...animus wouldn't be hurt.
     *Why can't I just use his nickname normally...?* he asked himself suspiciously. He ignored the fact that he was growing more comfortable around his Destroyer by the day...
     He have the wolf one of his cool, soul-piercing stares. The kind that usually pinned targets to the spot.
     Aaron studied Animus; really tore him apart and numbered each piece. But the numbers figuratively scrolling down the demon Fox's vision kept jumping.
     *He really does have a...a...nice face. Really, he could pull off being either male or female - until he disrobed at any rate. And he looks so young too. It's a wonder he isn't vain and deceitful. His patents must have really reared him well before they kicked the buck - .*
     "Dammit!" Aaron swore. How could his thoughts be so blunt? He honoured his patents even in death but here he stood, thinking like that.
     His guilt and emptiness was building...at that moment Aaron wanted nothing more than to hold someone. No...not just someone. Animus. Suddenly afraid, Aaron shut those thoughts out. Why was his mind so scrambled today?
     As if cursing out of the blue after staring at Animus hadn't been enough, Aaron glared at a leaf on the grass with incredible intensity.

[Babydoll Animis]

Animus squeezed Aaron's hand lightly a bit worried, he had been silent obviously lost in thought, "when you come across a small dragon statue covered in moss there should be a small path thats kind of easy to miss right next to it. the tree is on a small island surrounded by a pond. Animus noticed the piercing gaze turn to a leaf. Thinking that it would catch fire from Aarons stare. Animus payed no mind to the cursing. He usually never payed attention to it. "Aaron? Are you okay? We dont have to go" Animus wanted to hug Aaron but figured the fox already was sick of hugs. So he held onto Aaron's hand reassuringly.

[Whitepaw Niniichi/Enigir Shosa]

     "I'm such a jerk...the real question is why you hang around me, not why I hang around you..." Aaron growled more out of annoyance at himself than anything else. But he squeezed Animus' hand anyway. He wanted to see the tree anyway, so he eased animus along by turning, still holding the short and effeminate wolf's hand.
