<font color=8F66AD>so deliver me from this</font>

It was a good time to take some time to myself it seemed. It's quiet, the sky is crystalline clear, and I've been able to gather my thoughts. It's easier to think, away from Tesseract, Caligula, and Celesdue, but never do I stray from them for long. Thy are old enough to take care of themselves when I take little ventures such as this one. Vague and Nero are there, as well as Fatality and Jaidah, I am confident that they can hold their own should anything happen during my small absence. When I decide to take some time for myself, it gives me time to think. Time to think....like the day I had met my Nero.

When I first saw him, I thought he was just another pretty boy looking for attention. I had just been looking for some way to pass the time, when he had showed up and I had been wondering if he had been as intricate mentally as he had been with his..coat color. Even though I had Mirovis back then and he was a loner, he had more than I did, and at first I hadn't been able to truly comprehend that. Even his scent...it had been crisper, cleaner like the freshest of water. He had said his den was by the waterfall, so I guess it makes more sense to me now than it did then. He said that he had a friend who used to visit him...he later on told me it was Niviaq. Someone from Litherum apparently. He had visits from friends when I only had diplomatic meetings of sorts. He had friends when the closest I had were my packmates. Sometimes I wonder if I should have asked to see his den before it had gotten destroyed.

Well, it was too late to request that kind of thing now. It's kind of funny how you just think of these things after it's all simply not possible isn't it? My ears swiveled as they catch a bark and my attention is dragged out of my whirling thoughts and my lavender vision clears. A laughing, smiling, happy girl was running in my direction. Was I being mistaken for another, or was this simply another chance meeting for when I have decided to take a little time to myself? All I know, is that this girl was much different than Nero had approached me that day. Looks like it's time once more to play the testing game. It had been done when Nero had offered me everything he is, was, and had become, even if he's changed now, I still use that test. My muscles tense slightly in stance as she nearly collides but slides and continues right on pass. My head tilted slightly to watch as she slid to a stop and for once my lavender eyes gleam in amusement. This is...rather light-hearted for that I'm used to. It might be nice for once to see where this goes.

It is not too long before another shows up as if summoned by this happily strange grey girl, and already I cannot help but feel my tactician resurface to my mind, my lavender eyes moving to catch sight of him and see what he is, studying, my own lips quirking momentarily though whether in a smirk of sorts or some twisted smile I cannot say. Something more dangerous is stirring now, and yet there are still bars keeping it from loosing itself on these strangers. I wacth as this stranger simply sits himself to the side, an observer, and I will wath him, I will, see what it is that he hides from us, though I know my eyes must be saying something. She speaks and it is then that I consider. "Splash game? I do not believe I have ever played this." It's just a endless stringed stream of words, flowing and tumbling in statements and questions and maybe I'm beginning to wonder if light-hearted doesn't equal overwhelming. It teases my senses and pulls at them and at first I am not sure what to think. My ears flicker and I consider this girl again. She had turned out to be much more than I had first thought upon sight. I wanted to know...if there is yet more I can learn.
