Homecoming

~SAI~
*oh, well..thinking doesn't get you dinner...and that's what's finally showed up. all things DO come to those who wait.* *he drops- but misses the deer who runs like hell away- only to find Sai very difficult to get away from. the two burst out of the forest line, the panicked beast running for the castle, Sai having cut off all attempts on it's part to go deeper into the woods. Poor thing...now that obstacles are out of the way, there's no way it's going to outrun sai...*

~ROCKY~
*She squats, poised upon the balls of her feet, on the leeward side of a brick building. her eyes cautiously scanning everyone that walks by....man that was close, I didn't think the little fat guy would be able to move that fast..mind you who expected a wallet to shout when you grabbed it..this was a freaky place, weird shit going down every minute...she rubs a badly bruised shoulder, noting the torn fabric* damn bastard! *She almost hadn't gotten away, only thing that saved her was her height and her speed..even now she can hear him hollering..damn she's gotta get outta here before she's found that sword of his looked sharp...she slowly rises to her feet and cautiously peers around the corner..good he's outta sight..she makes a dash for the gate. Just as she thinks she will make it she hears a shout and puts on an added burst of speed...she might be cocky, but she ain't stupid, she isn't going to let herself get caught...The second she clears the gate she turns sharply running parallel to the forest...the one place she won't go..She rounds the corner, and continues running, failing to notice anything in front of her until she has put some distance between herself and anyone that might be following*

~SAI~
*He takes no note of rocky's escape..concentrating soley on the deer..who soon is minus a part of it's throat. With an odd cry it goes down- then silences as the last of it's throat is removed* dammit.so much for a clean strike... *He kneels down by the body, about to put those claws to work..*

~ROCKY~
*She gets about halfway up the hill before stopping to turn and look for pursuers, seeing none she breathes a sigh of relief....a strangely piercing cry rends the air and a terrified Rocky spins around ready to face its source...Her frantic gaze settles upon you a short distance off, huddled over something...from this distance he is only vaguely recognizable, but how many blue skinned freaks can there be? with a shrug she heads towards you..at this point she is willing to do almost anything to get away from here..first that pointy eared dude, and now shorty..this is too much for her. As she gets closer she catches sight of your 'kill', her stomach flips uneasily and she pales...dead bodies were one thing, they were just human, but this?*

~SAI~
*He pauses over his kill, scenting someone on the wind. a familiar someone- to a point. Not only does she carry her own scent, but she smells of ciggarettes, and synthetic materials...not something you'd find here. He knows who it is long before she can be indentified by sight.* well, well...so- how are you liking your little vacation? *claws resting on the side of the deer, not cutting in yet.* You really should be more careful about approaching people. Some beings here have a better sense of smell than me- and you /really/ stick out.

~ROCKY~
*She swallows a few times, her gaze fastened on the torn throat..she doesn't want to look, but she can't look away* I don't *she finally manages to pull her eyes from the carcass and fastens them on you..slowly she takes in the changes since she last saw you* Sai? *the one word somehow conveying a questioning confusion in a soft wondering tone, totally unlike her*

~SAI~
Yes, you do- and yes, last time I looked, that /was/ my name. Did someone change /that/ on me too? *he stands to his new full height, letting most of his features stay in shadow. All that can really be seen is his hair, and his lambent eyes gleaming from under black ended silverwhite locks.*

~ROCKY~
Yeah, I know I stand out here...noone told me it was an S&M party *She looks 'up' at you, last time there wasn't that big a difference in their heights..in fact she had had an inch or so on him...now..now he towered over her* what? what happened? *she involuntarily takes a step back* man, this place is nuts...or I am *the last almost whispered to herself*

~SAI~
*he shrugs, crossing his arms* six of one, half dozen of the other- are you out here talking to me for a reason, or am I letting dinner sit there just to pass the time in idle conversation? As for what happened...*looks himself over* delayed growth spurt and a short trip to /my/ home for a new outfit that fit.

~ROCKY~
*she looks at the deer and wrinkles her nose in disgust* dinner? *once again her attention is drawn to the torn throat and she remembers the 'special' she had for last nights dinner..her stomach rebels and she quickly moves behind a nearby bush as her pilfered lunch makes its reappearance in the world...funny, she can look at dismembered, mutilated corpses, can watch someone bleed to death before her, can even be the one that caused the deaths without batting an eyelash, but this..this neccessity of life disgusted her....after a few moments she shakily steps out from behind the bush, embarrassment colouring her face..*I can't believe I am that weak....*she looks up at you hopefully*..home? you went home? How can I get back there?

~SAI~
I went to /my/ home, not yours. I can get you to yours though. Is that what you want? *doesn't say a thing about her getting sick beyond- * can you do that /downwind/ next time?

~ROCKY~
Oh definately.*her voice filled with weariness* At this point I would even welcome that prison they call the Lair, Hell I'd welcome maximum security *She painfully moves her shoulder, positive she hears bone grinding* This place is like a really bad trip *she reddens with embarrasment at the reminder of her getting sick*

~SAI~
*Looks like he's not getting dinner after all. He turns his back to her, apparently thinking- actually licking his fingers clean from the hunt. Then he slips his fully covering gloves on, turning back around* first- how much money do you have on you? *arms crossed.* If I'm taking you back, you're paying for dinner. *if he can't have his deer..a meat lovers pizza with extra meat and cheese with mozerella in the crust would do just as nicely.*

~ROCKY~
*A huge smile crosses her face* Thank you Sai *not a usually tactile person she surprises even herself when she hugs him, remembering at the last moment not to actually contact skin.....she chuckles* I don't have too much *G* but that is easily remedied

~SAI~
*Thankfully, theres little danger of her touching bare skin...unless she deliberately reached up to touch his face. from throat to toe, he's covered.* er..your welcome..*tensing at the unexpected contact, eyes narrowing a moment before he dismisses it. He's simply not used to anyone touching him.* as long as you have enough for a large meat lovers pizza with double meat and mozerrella in the crust, that's enough. *reaching down to put one hand on her shoulder, the claws clearly visible under the glove's protection*

~ROCKY~
Hell you get me back and I will buy you as many as you want *now it is her turn to tense for the briefest of moments..its one thing for her to initiate, but something else for someone else* From now on I am sticking with airplanes...at least then I won't end up in the twilight zone

~SAI~
Indeed. They simply crash and kill everyone on board. *the reason for his touching her becomes apparent as he activates the bracelet. His bracelet is standard, allowing him to take himself and one other back to the Lair. The scenery shifts- first simple blackness, then reforming back into the Lair.*

~ROCKY~
*chuckles* which at this point I would prefer *she shakes her head muttering to herself while she rubs her shoulder* who would have thought of a talking wallet *She looks around at their new surroundings..everything is wonderfully familiar...even the faces of the freaks that turn to look at the new arrivals* YES! thank you *she grabs the phone book* so how many ya want?
