Walking through the forest alone watching the silver glow of the moon, Runes heard a voice call out. Her eyes fell from the moon's hold and she looked into the darkness wondering if she stepped on a twig and didn't notice it. "Hello, I'm sorry if I startled you."

Mei rolled her eyes and pushed some cheese at him before going and finding some tea to fix for him. She would arrive with it quickly, sliding the steaming cup towards him once she returned. “There…” She muttered with a sigh, glancing up as for a moment she thought she heard something. Was that a voice?

Velvet gasped as a twig broke somewhere behind her and as on owl suddenly took flight before her. "Someone out there?" The snow was being blown around by the wind, causing the land to become blurry at a distant.

Runes walked through the woods, she could hear Velvet call out again. She raised her brow and wondered if what sounded to be a young woman heard her. She pressed through the snow and looked around. "Yes, I'm out here. Can you see me?"

Akio grabbed onto the tea cup not feeling the heat of it, and sipped it lightly, then placing it back down. Even though it had made him feel better his eyes didnt seem get gain back their color yet and he could still barely see anything.

Mei simply glanced back to him, watching him a moment but saying nothing. For a moment her hands were on her hips, her eyes thoughtful as she gazed at him. She hadn’t had much contact with angels…so she really wasn’t sure how one cared for their health… so she slipped her hands into her pockets…and waited.

Rosa awoke on a bed. she wondered what the image had looked like. she got changed though really quick and then walked into the main room scanning the area.

Akio had just kept sipping his tea and keeping his head and wings covered in the cloak. After a couple of minutes his eyes finally started to go back to its normal blueish purple color. "Thats....better." his voice now sounded like it used to rather then the weak painful one, he looked over to Mei and smiled joyfully. "Thank you."

Mei shrugged at his thanks, tossing some of her dark blue hair. “s’alright.” she murmured as she glanced up at the sound of someone entering. Nodding towards Rosa she glanced back towards the fallen, tilting her head to the side and watching him a moment. Satisfied he wasn’t about to go get himself killed she walked to the window to peek out again, curious. She thought she’d heard two voices…

Elenore walked towards the inn. The snow blew around her hair and face, but the cold didn't bother her at all. Her skin was unique in that sense, she was completely immune to all extremes of both heat and cold. She could sit down in a fire if she wanted.

The inn however looked inviting, she had heard that this place was accepting and tolerant of all races, including mutants. She was looking forward to not have to preach her rights to any humans tonight.

Walking inside she looked around and decided on an empty table towards the back. Being new to this area, she didn't know anyone but didn't mind the solitude. Besides, she was looking forward to some food and a nice drink.

Sikura looked around outside before flying back into the inn. Her eyes closed as she shook to get all the snow off like a dog. She smiled as she looked around for Jack but didn't see him. 'He must be tired.'

Runes walked back to the inn after not finding who was calling out. She was bit worried but if the woman didn't want to be found then it couldn't be helped. Entering the warm inn she came to the fire to warm her frozen bones and dry from the snow fall.

After Akio had finally felt better he turned around and noticed Rosa had awaken. "Hey there, sleepyhead." he said with a little laugh.

Elenore watched two more patrons enter the Inn. She tapped her fingers idly against the table as she continued to switch between looking over a drink menu and people watching.

Her physical differences usually made her more obvious in a crowd but Elenore couldnt help but notice that no one had even given her so much as a glance. Maybe they just were busy in their own affairs, or maybe this place was a good choice to visit after all.

Runes wasn't being mindful of many others. Part of her wondered if she should go back and look or the girl. She really couldn't decide on it. She breathed in and looked about the room. No one really stood out to her. It just might be how she was feeling. She listened to the many voices in the room trying to figure out if it was the girl or not.

[[BTW I'm playing as my Avatar. :> ]]

Elenore finally ordered a coffee and a sandwich. She drummed her fingers on the table and was glad she wasnt particularly close to any one else or they might get aggravated with her tapping.

Jack yawned. Those eyes opening slowly...the room had felt..empty..somehow. Perhaps because he had known he'd fallen asleep with someone in the room and even in his sleep, he could no longer hear the sounds of their sleeping. He sat up and looked around for a moment. Surely he couldn't have been asleep for more than a few hours. Those ears atop his head twitched and he frowned slightly, pulling that mask on to cover the lower half of his face and his neck.

Jack stood and stretched, pocketing the room key before he exited the room. He wanted a glass of milk. He made his way down to the bar area, and then into the kitchen..pouring himself a glass of milk and not really caring if the bartender minded. He drank his milk while in the kitchen. Having privacy to lower his mask and drink the beverage. When the milk was gone and the mask pulled back up he returned to the main area. Eyes dancing over the people there. "Imoutosan..I can't sleep." He whined softly as he walked towards Mei.

Her blue eyes closed as she went to the bar and ordered hot cider to drink. Sikura looked up towards Jack and blushed as she shook her head. 'He doesn't want you. Stop it.'She said softly to herself as she looked at her hot cider. He went towards Mei and sighed. 'Figures. I knew she'd get him.'

Getting up, Runes walked over to the kitchen area. She ordered a wheat beer and at down and heard the tapping. Pulling the hood off her head she reveled herself. The cat like ears that came from where human ears would be fluffed with white and black tiger stripes. Her skin matched it with blue eyes. Hearing the tapping she rolled her eyes and gave the woman and quick glare. She looked like dead person but Runes couldn't be bothered at the moment.

Elenore caught the glance from the other woman and stopped tapping.

'Hm, not the nicest kitty...' She thought idly to herself. 'Wonder what she is...' Elenore had seen both mutants like herself with animal like attributes, but also there were some other races with the same kinds of features.

At least she knew she wasnt the only nonhuman in the building, and so she knew her long ears and gray skin weren't going to call any attention...tapping apparently was a whole other story.

The beer was served and Rues looked down it. The eyes of the woman were felt her. With the flick of her ears she looked back at her. Part of her wondered what the woman was as well. She sniffed the air hopefully unnoticed to smell the sweeter smell of sugar and flour molding together to make cherry pies. She felt her mouth water and smirked, "Who are you," she asked the elf like creature.

(your X-men fan character inspired me.)

Mei looked up as she heard a familiar voice, having zoned out for a moment. She only glanced over as Jack called to her, little sister? She was nobody’s little sister….well… not anymore. Shaking her head she watched him as he approached talking about not being able to sleep. “Drink some tea…” She suggested as she raised an eyebrow. She glanced towards Sikura now, feeling closer to her and jack then anyone else here quite yet. She gave her a small smile then..

[[ Oh yay! ]]

Elenore leaned forwards across the table, she was always friendly to strangers...as long as they weren't human. Their intolerance of her kind had made her bitter.

"My name's Elenore Rook." She held out her hand. "New to town, and your self?"

He wrinkled his nose a bit. "But I already had some milk.." He frowned slightly, then followed Mei's gaze to Sikura and he smiled. "Oi, there's my favorite Tenshi." His tail flicked softly behind him as he made his way towards Sikura. Sitting down next to her. "Are you feeling better now? I'm not sure what I said to make you upset, but honestly I didn't mean to."

She looked at for a moment and took in her scent for the record, "I'm Runes. I don't keep the human slave name." She whispered the end lightly not liking humans herself. They were pain in the butt for all they were worth.
