As he leaned back and forth touching the floor with his wings, he suddenly thought a bit about what he was doing. He had white wings, and the floor was covered in mud tracks from everyone's shoes and feet. "Maybe I should stop..." he grabbed his wings up and noticed they were dirty at the tip, suddenly for no reason he felt a shiver go straight down his spine and jumped in his seat a bit. He grabbed a towel and started to rub them till they were white again, but yet it just made it worst, he didnt want to get them wet again since he would have to wrap them up again and wouldnt be able to stretch when he felt like it.

][ Jack is a nekojin. All nekojin can change into their breed. It's a part of who they are. A piece of their soul they can never change. And I've had this character for years.][

Jack's entire body had cringed when Mei reached over to scratch behind his ears. Quickly though, the nekojin relaxed. He didn't purr though, but he did nuzzle that hand gently and turn his head some so he could lick it lightly. It was hard to communicate like this with someone that probably wouldn't understand cat. Those shoulders heaved in a shrug as he moved away from Mei and leaped onto the bed. Curling up around himself so the tip of his tail rested lightly against the tip of his nose. He wasn't sleepy, but still he did need a few moments to recover from the pain of changing..even as quick as it had been.

Mizuki couldn't hide a small snicker at this, shaking her head at the semi-clueless angel. Standing up, she walked casually towards his direction, getting a straw but pausing close enough to hear. "They're fine, stop messing with them. I dunno how you lived so long with them if you get so distracted by them..""

----------

((So have I. I'm not complaining. I too have had my rpc since..well..9th, 10th grade at least? I'm now 20, you do the math. I just thought it was cool.))

As he cringed Mei started to pull away his hand only to have it licked, causing him to chuckle lightly though almost nervously as he pulled back his hand after the lick. Walking to the chair near the bed he sat down, leaning back a moment before closing his eyes and murmuring “Sorry…” He then opened his eyes and grinned at Jack muttering “Is awesome though…” He chuckled.

][Awh. Your just a little bit younger than me, but Jack would be happy to see another cat person that's social and not one that runs around acting like it's better than everyone and like it's the only cat person around. ...but I'm not naming names.][

Jack watched Mei move to the chair, keeping his eyes on Mei. But Jack wanted to go outside. He wanted to run, to feel free, because well, he was free..The big cat was silent, almost brooding silent as he watched Mei. It was only a few more seconds passed and he couldn't stand it anymore. The panther was on his feet and infront the window in moments. Butting his head against it some and growling at the glass that separeted him from the outside.

Akio just held onto his wings as he looked up at Mizuki talking to him about his wings. "My wings....they're all I have left of her....she sacrficed her own life so I could keep them..." he said sadly still looking at them and rubbing them so they would clean, he meant about his own mother, she was a full fledged and adult angel, when he was banished from heaven and made a fallen, before his wings were ripped off she came to stop god from doing so, causing her to be completely banished to hell for eternity.

Mei watched as he ran over, sighing softly… well at least the cold might help a certain male…problem go away. Sighing he let his head fall forward, walking towards the window and throwing it open. “Alright alright Let’s go…” Mei muttered, waiting for the panther to jump out of the window before he too would follow and leap out into the snow. Inwardly Mei was cursing though…the one thing not to like about the male form…Oh well...at least Jack hadn't noticed...

((Coolness! I know what you mean, some people...and also, most just say 'I can turn into a cat' well, only a few think of spicing it up. Mizuki would be glad to meet another nekojin))

Mizuki's smile faded instantly at the pain in his eyes and voice. Kneeling a bit, she spoke softer. "I-I'm sorry....forgive my tactless comments. I..I'll help you clean them, if you'd like..unless you'd rather I not touch." she said, watching him. "She loved you...very much...and you miss her....I believe she is not gone forever...."

Notice? Well...maybe...he could smell a few certain pheromones in the air though. For the most part, Jack ignored it. The desire to run stronger than anything else at the moment and as soon as that window was opened the big cat launched himself out of it. He hit the ground running. Like a streak of black lightening almost..though maybe not quite as fast as lightening. He was quick though. He ran towards a line of trees and stopped, looking over his shoulder to see if Mei was coming with him.

((y'know what I like about panthers?))

][They're pretty and black as midnight..well..some are more blackish brown..but stilll...... that's what I like about them.][

oh, for all those interested/ who didn't see:

Mei leaped downward and smirked, calling on the dragons speed to keep up with figuring if he had to suffer and feel weak he may as well use a little more of it…he was paying the price already so what was the harm? Chuckling to himself he arrived a few seconds after jack, stopping as he did so. “guess you win..” Mei teased, sticking out his tongue at him.

(( I used to follow the belief scientists once had that they were a seperate species. they aren't. they are just black leopards, jaguars, pumas, etc that have dark fur as well as dark markings. If you look close enough, you can see the pattern of whatever cat they are. Technically, they can be any feline, but they almost always are jaguars or leopards. yes, the coloring is amazing))

He looked up at her and gave a slight little smile, and shook his head lightly. "No, its okay...you didnt know.." he said and returned to cleaning them, after a while the feathers began to match the same color of white as the rest. He blew on them one last time before he let them fold against his back.

][Nice pics. Yea..I know most panthers are black jaguars or leopards. But Jack is just solid black. No markings at all. Except for his scars.][

Jack had tossed his head as if to say, 'of course I win.' Then those eyes were on the forest..or rather..a tree. Jack ran at the tree with reckless abandon and leaped, claws digging deep into that bark and he scrambled up the tree quickly, finding a suitable branch to hold his weight, he stood on it. He stood there, with his head held high and almost an arrogant expression about him. As if to say. 'I am king of the land'. Then that nose had twitched and a small bit of movement caught his eye, a bunny, in the snow. Without hesitation he pounced. Landing on the small animal and trapping it between his front paws. His tail swayed side to side as he laid there with the rabbit between his front paws, lowering his mouth as if he might eat the creature, those jaws opening and then....That tongue sprang out and he licked the side of the rabbit's face before letting it go. He looked up at Mei with laughter in his eyes.

Now he was just being cute Mei thought with a chuckle, leaning against a nearby tree and simply watching. He shivered slightly, realizing he probably shouldn’t have called on the dragon but he dismissed it. Right now all that mattered was having fun with jack…though a different kind then part of him was still incontinent enough to want. Suppressing a thigh he focused on something that he found disgusting until his body began to calm down. He then looked at Jack, “Having fun sweetheart?” He teased with a soft chuckle, shaking his head at him.

((look at this site. I would only ever leave my home island to work with these people. I want to go see this preserve at least once:TIGERS | The Animals of TIGERS))

Mizuki bowed her head slightly. "Still, I should have presumed there was a reason in your great care and love of them. They are beautiful." she said softly, turning to go back to her table.

((and thank you for the compliments. ^^ ))

When Mei spoke, Jack had jumped to his feet and then ran at Mei, leaping at him. Pouncing him down into the snow and nuzzling the side of his face for a moment before Jack leaped away and promptly fell in a deep snow drift with a startled mewl. A few moments later his head popped up out of the deep snow, covered with snow. His nose twitched and he shook his head hard and leaped out of the snow drift, only to lay down in the snow and begin to roll in it. Jack was purring though..and he had been for a little while at least. A deep rumbling purr in his chest.

Mei yelped as he was pounced, finding his mind drift to a different form of Jack pouncing him as he fell back into the snow. As he muttered a soft “Damn it….” beneath his breath it wasn’t being knocked down in the snow he was cursing. Shaking him self off a little bit he watched Jack…wishing he wore loser pants in male form before forming a snow ball and throwing it at Jack as he rolled in the snow. “ha” He said before sticking out his tongue at him.

Akio looked at her and gave once last smile and looked back down at his tea. "Thank you..." he said quietly as he sipped his tea once last time, he got up walked from his table towards the patio, as he looked at the snow fall. He let his hand out to catch some of it in his hands.

Jack stopped rolling when the snowball hit him. Jumping to his feet and growling playfully as he bounded at Mei once more. He pounced on Mei, sending him to the snowy ground once more and then licked his cheek. Jack had purred rather loudly when he'd done that. Then the big cat had leaped away from Mei again and was running towards the Inn.

Or rather..Jack began to run circles around the inn, but he moved at an easy pace. So the people inside would know that the black shadow circling the establishment seemed to be a rather large cat.

Mei prepared himself but simply found himself back in the snow as he found himself once again…distracted. He shivered a little at the lick, poking the large cat in the chest and laughing a little. It was intense fun…though torturous too due to a certain problem. Accordingly Mei’s laugh sounded a little helpless as he slowly stood when released. Shaking his head he walked closer to the inn to watch Jack, not realizing Aiko had stepped outside so would now see Mei’s other form…

Taking a glance outside, Mizuki paused mid sip as she caught a glimpse of a large, black animal, moving like a shadow. Setting her drink down, she stood slowly, moving towards the window to gaze out at the snowy landscape.

Jack stopped rather suddenly infront of one of the windows that looked into the main area of the Inn, raising up and resting his front paws on the window sill he looked inside with those glowing greenish yellow eyes. He growled a bit. Trying to see how many people he could startle or frighten, even though there weren't many people in there at all. The bartender did look a bit troubled though. His tail swayed playfully side to side behind him as he lowered himself down from the window and made his way towards the patio. He sat on his haunches and stared at Akio. That head tilted to the side a bit.
