"Sure sure no problem!" Azra said with a nod. She was about to go sit down when Melony came in tripped and made a mess. Howling with laughter she smiled at the hunter. "Are you hungry Melony? Here I'll go make you up a bowl and plate. And I'll bring back something to clean that up with." She turned on her tail and slithered into the kitchen. When she came back she held a tray in her hands with more bowls of soup and plates full of salad. Gripped with her tail was some rags and cleaning solution. "Here we go," she said and put everything down. Azra picked up the split food and wiped the table down with her tail. "Mellie here's a extra rag in case anything got on you," she said and handed it to her. Grabbing a bowl and plate for herself she shifted so she was on her legs and sat down. "Melony you can sit by me!" She said and smiled at her again.

Rythen's eyes widened as Melony came in then fell against him and Mellie. "It is alright. I am glad to hear they have taken to you. They also like carrots. Ash likes cotton candy but she can't have much." He was happy that Azra was taking care of it though.

Ahanna laughed but covered her mouth with her napkin. I hope she didn't burn herself on the soup. She turned to look at the sisters and noticed that Roe was laughing too. Rae on the other hand was watching Mellie for her reaction.

Lucifer smiled as he breathed the woman's scent in. "I have a confession," he whispered in her ear, his hand traveling down her back, slowly. She was small, and fragile, whilst he was tall and muscular. Sometimes, he felt as though he was going to break her, maybe snap her in half. With his other hand, he reached up and played with her hair, smirking to himself. Deciding to come out with the truth, he took a deep breath. She wasn't going to like this, but he knew she would rather know now, rather than later. Leaning in, he kissed her ear and whispered softly into it, "I'm only used to one-night stands."

~

Mellie rolled her eyes at the huntress coming in. She glared for a moment, then turned to Ahanna. "I don't have to, if I don't want to," she spoke, then stood up. "I'm going to bed." Walking out, she clenched her sword, and walked deep into the forest, taking her emerald sword out of it's sheath. "They know nothing," she growled and swung her sword, listening to it cut through a large oak tree. "That woman can take Rythen!" she yelled out, cutting through another. They fell, causing the ground to shake, and birds to fly off. Dirt was stirred up, but she continued yelling and cutting trees down with one strike of her sword. "Pitiful humans ..." she said, breathing hard as she bent over. Dozens of trees lay around her, their trunks cut straight across. Sitting down, she set her sword down, and looked up at the starry night sky. "I know you're not proud mother ... I finally find a peaceful place, and everything gets taken away ... Again." Hitting the solid ground with her bandaged fist, she heard a few small bones snap, sending surges of pain to her fingertips, and up her arms.

[[ TWISTY-DOODLE-DOO! ]]

Scarlett listened to what he said and didn't look to affected by his words. "Oh really?" She asked, trailing her hand from his waist to his chest. "So i'd be just another one night stand if I did anything with you?" She asked, her hand resting on his shoulder. She liked the feeling of him running his hand down her back but she looked up t the ceiling so he wouldn't noticed. She then looked back at him and kissed his lips softly, then put her head back a little to look at him. "I'm more of the..have a relationship with the person type. Not just a hit and run." She smiled.

Rythen watched as Mellie ran out then heard her yelling outside. He couldn't make out her words but he knew she was mad. He turned to Azra and bowed slightly. "Thank you for the food. Sorry I can not stay." He got up and grabbed a few apples, a block of cheese and a loaf of home made bread. The day before Ahanna had baked a couple loafs because she had been bored. He ran out after waving at Ahanna. He ran towards where he heard Mellie. He came up on here as she screamed about someone else taking him. Then he watched as she cut another tree and finally broke her hand. He gave the trees a sad glance before running to her. He dropped to his knees and put his hands out to hold her but stopped. It had hurt to hear her say that about him. He loved her and he would fight for her but now it didn't look like she loved him. He would not force himself on her. What do I do?

Ahanna watched as they ran out but said nothing. Instead she tasted the soup then turned to Azra. "This is very good. I might have to steal your recipe." She winked at her before turning back to her food.

Watching Rythen run after Mellie, Azra shook her head. It was sad to see him run around after her. He was a good man and she wanted him to be happy. Turning she gave Ahanna a bright smile. "Thank you! I just might give it to you," she said with a laugh. Then she to began to eat.

Cire took a moment to look at him, allowing a small frown to show. ''Do you know how many you've killed?''
Okay, walking around in circles... Was that normal for a human? Or did they just not know how to sit still? Her head tilted, watching his aura in the hope of understanding something about the pacing. It barely changed through out the whole thingy, so did it have a use...? Ah right, humans were impatient since they don't have many time. The fox herself could waste as man as se would want to, and sitting on air isn't something she dislikes. When he asked, she sighed. ''You make it sound as if you're going to die... Then again, you will. One day. Feel free to ask me anything, whether or not you'll recieve an answer depends on the question.''
Somehow, Cire hadn't expect this when she had entered the practise tent to hear Zalia out, it sure is interesting though.

Melony sat down beside Azra and began to eat, listening to the screams and wondering what exactly was going on. She turned to the naga with a puzzled frown. "What is going on between those two? Why did she get so... Angry! It was an accident! " The huntress was beginning to feel a growing dislike for the unpredictability Mellie had shown so far in her presence. Eating quietly now she stared at the spot before her, where Ry's food lay untouched in front of her. She shook her head, it wasn't right. If he didn't eat, if he was upset, well she didn't quite know except that it was wrong for all the girl's actions to harm another who obviously cared for her. She had thought him handsome, but hadn't been about to say anything. After watching what had happened, Melony thought it was now an entirely different situation.

Smiling Casimir nodded at her answer before answering the question. "So many that I cannot even remember. I've been hunting actively since I was fourteen. " Frowning he pulled the bench close to the floating fox. It was hard to speak with so much distance between them. "What happened to your eyes? Why are you so cold with everyone? Is there anyone you could thaw your heart for even a tiny bit? Now see, you've opened the gates and I won't stop asking whatever question might come to my mind." He wondered what his death would be like at the hands of the council, or at the hands of his family. The moment they found out his sudden change of heart, someone would be sent to eliminate him and it wouldn't be a pretty sight.

Ahanna sniffed the soup. There was something in it but she couldn't place what it was. "Maybe we can trade. Your soup for some of my sleep poison?

She tilted an ear to the outside but didn't hear anything horrible so he was fine. She looked at Melony when she asked Azra the question. "They are starting a new relationship with all the normal problems and the added problems of wanting to protect the other. They will not open up and trust each other with the hard things they have delt with thinking that will protect them. Instead it hurts them. Add in the stress of people trying to kill us it can be tough. I think Mellie is just upset. It sounds like she has had some problems recently with hunters. Me and Rythen were attacked by hunters over a hundred years ago and then twenty years ago. We have had time to get over most of that. She hasn't. And I can guarentee you that if someone had shot me I would act a lot worse then her. Someone else would have been bleeding and a lot more then me."

She took another sip of the soup. "I don't think she is really angry with you. You just happen to be a pretty girl. She was rather angry with me about that too."

She brushed a hand through her hair, plumping her lips a bit. ''Did you wonder about whether or not it was right what you did when you killed? Or did you just kill, no questions aksed?''
Somehow Cire wondered, maybe he was a bit of a monster. Then again, humans were, are and always will be cruel creatures. If only they drained their monetary based system.
''Accident with black magic, I've been blind for 1758 years, 3 weeks and 4 days. I don't want to get close to people I know I'm going to lose one day because of their aging, which means I'm not cold to anyone, the ringmistress here is immortal as well. Or she seems to be. Someone who will thaw my heart? There probably is. I'm alright with that, I've got more time on my hands than I will live to enjoy.'' A smile played her lips, and she laughed softly. Answering so many questions without failure, somehow it looks like it's her language class or so.

A frown crossed the blond's face. Even so, she thought it was a little wrong of Mellie to be angry just because she was another woman. There was such a thing as too much melodrama. "I was attacked by supernaturals, that doesn't mean I hate you for it, or blame all of you. As for their budding relationship, I wish your brother luck, but she seems like a thorny, prickly cactus. " Turning back to her salad, Melony finished it then proceeded to munch on some garlic bread before grabbing a bowl of delicious smelling soup. She was thinking of going to find Day again, it was so much easier to speak with the pegasus. There were less chances of complicating things.

Casimir pursed his lips at her answers. It made sense, and also made him wonder. "I never questioned it, until now. Now I wonder what all of them where like, who they where...." A brief flicker of sorrow filled his eyes. "What if you could become mortal then? Would you do it? What if I told you I have heard of ways... For the mortal to become immortal and the never ending to end?" Legends, stories, tales of hunters eternally hunting and immortals becoming like them with all their powers intact. The strangest things, he'd never truly believed them. Now he was hoping those children' s tales where real.

Ahanna sighed and went back to her food. She did kind of agree with the woman. Mellie was overreacting. On the other hand the fact that the girl was comparing herself to them was laughable. She had feared supernaturals for maybe fifteen years and had a friend that was harmed. While hunters had killed all of family, friends, and neighbors. They woken up scared for over a hundred years.

Azra listened as Ahanna and Melony talked to each other. She waited until they were done before answering. "I think we have a deal then! I would certainly trade my recipe for some your sleep posion." She smiled and began to eat again. In her head she started to think about what both girls said. It was going to be a long long road for everyone to come together and be pleasant. Oh well life was hard and had obstacles.

Ahanna smiled at Azra. "That is great. I would offer to show you how to make it but I'd rather not let something like that get out. A little bit too much of one thing and you could very easily kill someone. I can get you some when ever you want it though."

Pausing, Melony wondered what would have happened if she hadn't told them she was a hunter. Would they have treated her differently? Sighing she put her things away after searching for the spot to put the dishes in. Turning to Azra she said ,"I think I'll go get a breath of fresh air, would you like to come with me?" In reality she wanted to go try and make peace with Mellie, even tough she disliked her, for the sake of harmony. There was also a tiny part of her that wanted to check up on Rythen, but she wasn't about to say that aloud.

Lucifer's mouth twirled into a devious grin as Scarlett finished talking. "You see ... There is a catch," he whispered, clutching her slim waist firmly. The cool air rushed through him, and it felt refreshing and sweet. He trailed his lips down her neck and over her collar bone, then lay her down slowly. "You jump to conclusions, and you did not let me finish," he smiled, resting his hand over her eyes. "You need sleep. Who knows what tomorrow will bring?" He lay next to her, his hand still over her eyes, and kissed her lips softly. He dragged his hand down her cheek, over her lips, and down her neck. It then roamed to her shoulder, and soon his arm was wrapped over her chest. Then, he rested his head on her shoulder, and closed his eyes.

~

Mellie sat there, her mouth agape as she stared at Rythen. "Did you ... Hear that?" she asked, her voice cracking slightly. The one thing she hated about herself was her anger. When she was angry, she couldn't control herself. She saw him reach out, then stop. For a moment, she sat there, but she then looked into his eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck, her hands gripping his flesh gently. One hand reached up and got tangled in his hair, holding his head gently against her shoulder. She wanted to talk to him, to apologize, but she knew apologies weren't going to get her out of this. Her hand was aching, with the broken bones, but she stayed there, holding him.

Laughing Azra nodded her head. "I completely agree with you Ahanna. The fewer people that know the better" She then turned to Melony and gave her a smile. "Sure I'd love to come." Standing up from her seat she put her own dishes away. "See you later Ahanna I'll bring the recipe by tomorrow. Roe, Rae hope you enjoy it here. Ready?" She asked as she turned to Melony.

Scarlett closed her eyes to enjoy his many kisses and listened to him talk. When he had clutched her waist she had made no movement to have him release her since she didn't mind it. She let her eye lashes flutter open to see him close his. She smiled and let her hand rest on the arm around her chest and stroked it gently. Sleep wouldn't come easy to her so she'd let sleep come easy to him. She closed her eyes and tried to think of beautiful things to dream of, like roses or the forest. Or Lucifer, though she'd turn bright red in the morning if Lucifer heard her say something about him in her sleep. She thought of the circus and all who inhabited it and started to force sleep to come to her. Though the images of her mother made her eyes stay open.

Melony nodded and went outside expecting Azra to accompany her. Once there she walked a bit silently with her companion. "How well do you know Rythen," blurted out Melony suddenly. It was hard enough liking someone when they were free, now there she was beginning to develop something for a person already taken. Or so it seemed, there never was telling how long things would last. She felt like she could trust Azra with this, even though they had only just begun a friendship. "I kind of like him, and can't imagine what he sees in Mellie. The way she acts it's just ... Wrong! " Sighing she kept walking not quite aware of where she went.

''You never did...? Then I guess, you were kneaded into a usefull monster after all. With a collar, and a fitting leash. Casimir, when you asked me, whether or not I was a pet... Shouldn't you have asked that yourself as well?'' Cire asked, tilting her head slightly, plumping her lips a bit. A chuckle escaped her lips. ''Of course not. Some say being immortal is lonely, but if I were to disappear, I can't be there for another. That, I think, would make me weak. Allowing myself to disappear because I think I won't leave anyone behind. No. I've seen to many people suicide, forgetting about the people they left behind. Ignoring the fact that they would be missed. And, I've got a purpose. I want to find all the people of my kind, and reunite us so we won't go extinct.'' Cire actually believed that that was her purpose, whole heartedly.

Casimir felt a dreamy look cross his face at the mention of saving her race. "I've always been fond of the fox people... Do you know of a way to make a human immortal? I... I might wish to help you in your quest, because I love your people and want to try and undo some of the wrongs I have done. Test me as you wish, you will find that this chained monster is trying to break free for the first time." Looking up at Cire he felt the undeniable urge to kiss her. Standing he did so quickly, leaving his lips on hers for only a moment in time before sitting down again with his head in his hands. What was it about her, that made him want to change everything about himself to please her?

Azra followed after Melony silently as the human girl spoke. She was kind of surprised at her line of questioning. It really did seem she had some feelings for the man. Deep down she wondered when she was going to find someone for herself. Even her sister was starting something with Mikhail. She could hear it in her thoughts even though she didn't say it out loud. "I don't know him all the much. My sister and I sort of stay to ourselves. Mellie is even newer here. Today was her first day." She sighed and looked around where they were walking. "I can't really make a comment on her character but she is very expressive. That I can tell.." She wasn't really sure what she should say to Melony. It wasn't like she had any experience in the matter. Sure she had been in love before but that was years and years ago.

Shaking her head with a small smile, Melony noticed a forest nearby but hesitated about entering it. "Well thank you for answering. Rythen seems like a really nice person and I'm just worried about the way Mellie seems to treat him, from what I've witnessed. " Her eyes, gray, where melancholy as she spoke. "A day seems a little fast don't you think?" Deciding finally she went to enter the forest at a slow pace, not knowing what lay inside. Hugging her sweater tightly to her, she patted her collapsed rapier. It looked like a child's play thing sticking out of her pocket, but it was deadly. She wanted to be sure she could defend herself and her new friend if need be.

Following her into the forest Azra shrugged. "I don't really get into people's business so I don't know. My sister and I stay off to the side. We like it that way, less messier. But I do have to say I like you. You seem like a sweet girl and I would be happy to be your friend around here." At least she would have another friend. Sure she was friends with Scarlett but that only went so far and Zalia but again only went so far. Everyone was like family but they were all so private to.

Rythen leaned into her. He quietly answered her. "Yes, I did hear." He rested there for a moment then moved back and took her hand. "I will not leave you unless that is what you want. I have feelings for you and no person will change that. I wish you would talk to me." He looked away from her then down at her hand. "Are you alright?"

Ahanna nodded at Azra. She turned to look at the sisters. "Is there something you would like to do?"

Rae looked over at Ahanna. "Could we get a tent and rest?"

Ahanna nodded and took them outside. She found them a tent and set it up near her own. When she was done she turned to them. "If you need anything my tent is over there. Just come get me. If I'm not in the tent go to the animal tent and find Day, the pegasus. He will find me." She turned and walked to her tent.

The sisters both walked into the tent and flopped onto the beds.
