Miao
-turns and hops up onto the wall, disappears-

-pets henri, watches-
What a weirdo.
....
-heads back to the dorms-


-Trasey sitting quietly, gently stroking Connor's hand with her thumb, tired, hasn't been able to sleep-

-altair was waiting for him-
Hey...


-wakes up with a jolt,screaming-
!!!!

I met the weirdest kid after you left...
-holds his head-
Wow. Wore a mask, and...he was like...smoking as if he was on fire...



-panics, lets go, leans back-
Connor!
-tries to calm him, strokes his hair-

-blinks-
Really?
...
-frowns-
What...did he want...?


-cowers away from,crying out in pain-
DONT TOUCH ME!! PLEASE DONT HURT ME AGAIN.

Henri...
-frowns-
Or Maria.
Both were out of the question.
-rolls eyes-
He settled for some of Henri's fur, although he wanted the feather Maria left.



.....-hurt-
Connor, it's me...
I'd never hurt you...
-frowns-
You're safe now, look, you're in your room!

-frowns-
....Odd...what did he give you in return?
-head tilt,reaches out and pets Henri-
She okay?


-trembling, huddled back against the wall-
Please...

-holds up the ticket-
He owes me.
-shrugs-
....Really I just wanted him to leave.


-hurt, tearing up-
Connor...
-looks at, sits on the floor-
You're okay...look at me...

-raises brow-
Weird..
At least you're okay.
-nuzzles-


-trembling-
T-Trasey...?

-wraps arms around-
Yeah.
You too.


-crying, won't look at-
I'm sorry, Connor...
I'm sorry for what they did to you...
-wipes her tears-
I...I don't know what to do...

-smiles,kisses-
Feeling any better...?


-shaking hard-
....
i-i
i-im sorry..i-i wasnt there..in..paris..

-kisses back, holds-
.....Yeah, I am.
Thank you, Altair.


-still won't look at-
Don't apologize for anything.
My brother did this to you, if anyone should apologize, it's me.
He...-hesitates, sobs softly-
........Connor, I'm just so glad you're alive.
-looks at, small smile-
I don't care if you don't love me anymore, what matters to me is that you're safe now.

-maria starts preening him-
...any time...


-trembling-
I-I love you..i-i just..cant...touch..
please...im sorry..

-smiles-
So...how do you like it so far?
-looks at Maria-


....-looks up at-
.........
I understand, Connor.
-weak smile, stands-
I'll go make you some tea.
-wipes her eyes-

Its weird...
-shrugs-

-flaps wings and hits altair in the face-
What he means is he is not used to it yet.
-nuzzles henri-


-nods-
I-im sorry...

-smiles-
...
Yeah. I'm sure you'll love it...
-pets Maria softly-


-nuzzles Maria, purring loudly-


....-cries as she's making the tea, can't forgive her brother, just feels so helpless that she can't do anything for Connor-

-feels weird-
Woh woh...weird...


-maria chirs happily-


-shaking,ends up drifting off a bit-

-grins, scratches her a bit-
Feels good, right?



...-brings him his tea, doesn't want to wake him, so she sets it down and heads out-

-shivers-
Jesus..
-nods-
Its too odd...


-wakes up to the smell of tea-
...trasey...?
-looks around-
Trasy...

You'll grow to love it.
-stops petting, Henri nuzzles Maria lovingly-


....-sitting in the living room, just sad-
......

I guess...how far can we move appart from eachother?

-chirs,preens her fur-


-ezio comes in-
...You okay...

-shrugs-
Depends. You'll learn your limit.

-purrrrs-


-looks at-
He's hurting psychologically. The one thing that's hardest to fix.
I don't know what to do...I want to help him...
-trembles-

I got to figure it out soon..
-shrugs-

-frowns-
....Give him time..
-pats shoulder-

Witches can reportedly go miles from their daemons.
-small smile-


...-looks at-
What if he is mad because I'm not trying to help...?
I want to help him, Ezio...

-Laughs-
I do not think im a witch.
-shrugs-

-shakes head-
He wont be...i think he is just scared...for you to see him like this..

-small chuckle-
Nah.
-smiles-
It's been rumored that people with large birds typically have longer ranges, but it's all speculation.


-sad-
....
I wish he trusted me enough to know I'd love him no matter how I saw him...

-looks at maria-
But she is so small-gets a facefull of wing-

-huffs,hops onto remy's shoulder-
Because your soul is not the only SMALL thing.


-nods-
He is sad...give him time...

-laughs, doubling over-
She got the sense of humor YOU didn't...
-so amused-
I like her.



...-nods-
Y-yeah.
-pulls knees up to chest-
....
I just hurt knowing he doesn't need me.

-flustered-
I have humor!
-grabs at her-
Get back here!

-she just puffs up and nips at Remy's ear-
I think this means he wishes to be more playful with you.


-shakes head-
He needs you..but he has been asleep for so long..

-happy, twists and wraps arms around Altair from behind, kisses neck-
Mmm...what's wrong, my love?



....
-sad-
I guess.
-closes eyes-
I need him too...

-growls-
If it wouldnt hurt me id punch that bird in the face.
-scowls-

-nods-
I know...
-sad sigh,pulls into hug-

-grins against his neck, just being so lovey-
You don't like it because you are used to being able to control your soul...
But now it can act on its own, and that scares you.
-runs hand up chest-
Trust me...you'll be happier.
-kisses neck softly-


-cries into chest-
And...Matty...
-desperate-
I hate him, but at the same time...I...I don't think it was his fault.
You don't know him like I do...
I worry about what this might do to him...

-growls-
She is a smartmouth...
You are not allowed to butter me up boy, just so you can tease me.
-huffs,sulking-


-bristles-
......
-keeps quite and just strokes her hair-
He betrayed more then connor..

Who said I was teasing...?
-breathes against neck-


-cries-
I know. I know....
I just worry.
I used to have to chase the bullies off of him at school...I wish I could be there for him now...
Nothing can fix what he did, but I'd bet my life he hated every minute of it...

-growls-
Brat..
-even so, just relaxes-

-nods-
Im sorry...
At this...moment in time...i...
-sounds so hurt,hugs tighter-
Reminds me of my family..

-pleased that he's relaxing, holds close, keeps kissing and nipping neck-
Mmm...
-loosens grip and coaxes Altair to turn and face him-


-swallows hard-
W-what happened to them?
-sad, hugs comfortingly-
Ezio...don't let your past cloud your ability to see my brother is innocent...

-moves as he is coaxed-
..
-still sulking-
Huh.


-small smile-
Someone very close to them betrayed them...
-shakes head-
...i will attempt not to.

Altair...
-breathy, leans into-


-sad-
I'm sorry Ezio...
-looks down-
-closes eyes, sobs softly-

-smirks-
Whaat..
-raises brow,nuzzles slowly-


-shakes head-
....it is okat..
-holds tightly-
Suuush...sush..bella...do not cry..

-presses leg against-
Get on the bed.


-begins to calm down-
Thank you Ezio....
-pulls away, weak smile-
