Nick glanced at her his face paleing he was so not answering that question. no way no how. "I..It's nothing." he mutterd and started to pace he was wide awake now.. he reached up and scratched at his thraot then stopped and took his hand away pulling his coat closed so the collar of it hid well his collar.. didn't wanna draw attention to it. he moved and settled against a tree and stared up at hte sky. it was so nice there. and he wanted to stay he did he hadn't felt safe somewhere in a long time but staying ment bringing danger and that was of the bad.

"they wont find you" she whispered, eyes closed and breathing easier. she shifted in her cat form, pulled herself up and climbed into his lap purring softly "you're okay for a while. I'll tell you sometime how i know this" when she spoke she slurred her words ever so slightly, sleep was beginning to settle in "i was in your shoes once" she sighed "i wont pry into your past i promise..."

Nick begain to pet her calming at the action. he liked cats. cats where nice.. he'd had a kitten once. "I wouldn't beleave that if it where true.. to hope is a dangerous kind of thing to have.." he whisperd back and relaxed agianst hte tree. refuseing to sleep. just incase nightmares came to town.

purring softly she leaned further into him relaxing completely, her tail wrapped around her body as well as it could and ears slouched slightly. She trembled once when a breeze came by but that was about it, she was fine and content with him hopeing to give him a moment to relax as well, to have pleasant dreams for once.

Nick absently pulled his coat from his back pack and used it to cover his upper body , and her then let sleep take him. one hand absently rubbing along he rbody until he finally fell fully asleep.

Con seemed restless the whole night. He tossed and turned a little, mainly from the cold. He sat up, eyes still half closed as if he were sleepwalking and with a flash of light appeared in one of the places he had sat before, he fell over in that spot falling back into deep sleep.

Shin was the first to awake in the morning, most likely since she never truly slept, only rested. She stepped out of a tree and looked around. "Hum." She muttered softly "Plenty of time for me to fetch food." She ran a thumb over the remains of her burn from Con's weapon and nodded imperceptibly, it was healing well, though was still there as an ashy welt. With a shrug she stepped back into the tree to return to her private stash of berry bushes. She would have to use a new one soon, these were getting altogether overused.

Con woke some time later and sat up. "How did I get here.." he mumbled and stood up. He didn't remember his little trip through time last night and sat down by his brother. He wondered if there was a way he could learn to control this power.

Shin returned shortly with more roots and berries, and seeing that Con was the only one awake, gave them to him and sat down a foot or two away. "Are you alright with me sharing language with your brother? I know it isn't the most pleasant thing." she shivered slightly "I know it altogether too well."

Nick woke to stare at them then shifted rememberd he had a little 'passenger' and stilled he glanced under the coat to make sure his furred frined was alright.. then yawned.

Con looked over at her. "Ask him." he said rather calmly and looked over a nick..wonderign where the cat lady had gone.

standing on all of her paws she looked up at him, yawned once before shifting back into a human, this time she crawled into her clothes before transforming :3

she scratched the back of her head before stepping out from behind the tree. Her hair was an utter mess.

Shin nodded at her and indicated to the new food "Good morning Kai, breakfast is here." Shin chuckled to herself. She had gone from being utterly bored to having the unwilling companionship of four others, all in a matter of days.

Con reached out and scooped up a few berries and nibbled on them, he seemed a lot calmer today. He turned and offered some to his brother who just woke, the kid took them and ate them thanking him.

"thank you" she yawned smiling at everyone trying to comb out her hair, which was a fruitless effort. She flopped down near the food, after grabbing some fruit and laid back staring up at the trees with a smile.

Nick packed his coat away and ignoreing Con's comment got to his feet and moved through the trees to wake up a bit. he felt.. contained and didnt' like it. 'it was just a dream the man can't find me no ones tried to remove the collar.. I'm fine..' he told himself over and over. keeping the long sleved button up shirt buttoned so the collar remained hidden then he returned to the group.

Shin nodded at Nick's return and then spoke to Seo "Seosamh, I cant teach you the language everyone else speaks, very very fast, but it isn't fun, and you have to want to do it, so... so you want to?"

Seosamh walked over and looked up at her. "Sure he said in a half tired voice then yawned loudly and widely.

( need to draw seo, hes adorable. xD)

kai looked over at nick, and smiled "morning! There's fruit here if you want something to eat"

(need sleep.. night everyone!)

Hogarth looked over his shoulder at the villagers that walked across the streets, talking laughing, it made him sick, his only wish was to make it to the other side without being noticed or stopped he had only one thing on his mind, and it was revenge. His boots kicked up dust with each step he took, watching the villagers stare at him, he would throw a glare at them, continuing his walk down the street, his cape blew behind him with the wind, revealing his blade attached to his side, and a spear on his back, that when it got to the point tied to it was a sharp metal point with feathers, his sash suede with each step he took down the path, the dust from the street rolling around his puffy pants, he flinched, feeling a wet feeling slide down the side of his face, fallowed by a mashed texture. He caught the tomato as it slid from his forehead, the juice sliding down his face as he slowly looked up at a villager, slowly drawing his blade as he saw all the other villagers starting to look angry.

Uhh hone, this is present day. your guy would have to do a time jump to be at where my character and the others are.. but accapted if yo u can get him to the forest the gorups in.

Hogarth, realising he wouldn't be able to take the whole village, made a break for the other end of the village, running and trying to dodge as much as the food flying at him, he looked over his shoulder at the group of villagers running after him, he decided to break into the forest to get away, looking over his shoulder after running a good distance, he noticed the villagers had stopped fallowing him, as he turns to look forward, he leaps through the bushes, running into Nick, he stumbled falling onto his back, into a roll to recover himself, his blade dropped to the ground during the fall, he quickly pulled off his cape letting it fall to the ground, the heavy tapestry sounding heavy as it blew dirt around him. He drew his spear, taking a defensive stance, watching their movements.

(( okay.. present time.. as in 2009 not..'villages and capes and cloaks' I'll fix this..))

Right before the othe rhad jumped into the bush a flare of wild magic from nick had hit it and.. he blinked. "Hey that's a time ripple like from Con.." he didn't get to finish as a stranger suddenly slamne dinto him and he went tumbling.. nick twisted and dug one hand into the earth which hardend keeping him from injurying himself as he stared at hte other male. "Uhh ohh.."

Hogarth looked at Nick, circling slowly making sure that none of them where able to get behind him. "Who are you?" Hogarth asked, his eyes examining Nick. keeping his defensive stance As his eyes kept moving back and forth through the group.

Nick slowly shoved himself to his feet. "I'd ask the same thing about you but I highly doubt I'd get a civil reply ."
