A male blue-headed Agama lizard (Agamidae) in breeding coloration on a branch in Kruger National Park, South Africa.

“‘Disciple?’ I d-don’t…recall signing up t-t-to become a d-devoted follower of one whom looks l-like a cliche child’s book villain, th-thank you very much.”

"What’s with th-the sudden change?" Fukawa whimpered, shying away from his touch. "One second, y-you’re making fun of me, th-the next, you’re patting my head? You’re making fun of me, aren’t y-you?! Of c-course I feel ‘saddened!’ I’m more th-than saddened! You d-downright insulted me!”

"It was not a bratty child looking for attention, but.. A little bird wanting to fly from it's cage."

"O…of course…!! I want to get to know… um… e-every one o-of my classmates! I…including you… I think…"

  "Ab…abom-abominabur… ab-abominable place…? Umm… wh…what do you mean by that…? Th…the earth…? Or here…? Or… I don’t know…"

"This butchers trap of an island thoughless one. "

   ”Good evening, Tanaka.” She spoke, knowing it respectable to greet him in such a way first. A pause spaced her statements, giving her a thoughtful amount of time to contemplate what to say next, “Do you have business here?”

"I am not quite ready to retire for the night.-- I would like to stay out for a while longer, I just assumed if I stayed by the lodge entrance,  if anyone came out and attempted to attack me it would much less foolish to find a place to hide." He would look up to the female not very worried that she would attack him in herself. Not to say he felt very safe around the female, yet he wasn't worried to the point he feared for his life infront of the other. She seemed much more level headed than the others in this world that they were trapped in.  "What are you doing venturing so far from small homes we are to live in, in this hell?" He looked to her a bit suspiciously, however he was sure she was just doing as he. Admiring the beauty that the world had possessed that one tends to forget during everyday life. 

  "Its perfectly alright, Gundam." the smile still on her red colored lips, "My name is Eva." she introduced with a small bow of her own.

“‘Disciple?’ I d-don’t…recall signing up t-t-to become a d-devoted follower of one whom looks l-like a cliche child’s book villain, th-thank you very much.”

Fukawa slumped her shoulders, hanging her head slightly in shame. She stared at her shoes. Maybe if she didn’t look at him, he’d go away. That’d sure be nice.

This was truly pathetic, the way the female hung her head down in shame. Yet, due to his own past, he began to regret his words of choice. Looking to the other he would let out a small depressed sigh. He decided his actions were not the most respectable so he looks away a bit.  "Listen little bird, excuse me for my behavior it was not admirable for someone of my caliber." He reached up a bit hesitantly patting the shorter ones head a bit. "...I..-- Listen little bird I can understand as to why.. you may be feeling saddened but please, do not fret."

"O…of course…!! I want to get to know… um… e-every one o-of my classmates! I…including you… I think…"

  "R…really…? You would h-help me… someone l-like me…? Y…you don’t have to…!!"

"I do not mind classmate. For since we are simply stuck together on this abominable place i see it as the least i can do for the lowly ones."

Ishida…wasn’t very sure why he did it…He guessed he could try to blame it on instinct or whatever it could be…but whatever it was it had caused him to kiss the breeder on the cheek… Ishida had decided to let the human explore his forest, so long as he was with him he could examine all the animals he wanted to and even help the few that needed help. The breeder had been ‘educating’ Ishida on the ways of curing a dog of stomach parasites (some topic) when the wolf leaned over to kiss his cheek. “I…uh…Shit I- u-uh- forget that happened”He muttered, turning away to hide his now red cheeks.

Ishida’s cheeks were a dark red, his fur standing on end as he tried to remain calm and collected. Oh god he had just messed things up greatly hadn’t he? He didn’t even know why he kissed the human’s cheek! Perhaps it had been some weird reflex or something? Was he going into heat??? Oh god he really hoped he wasn’t going into heat. If he was he was going to have to make a run for it.

He looked away from the one beside him and continued to walk beside the other in silence unsure of what to make of the situation at this point. 

"Ko, Beastie Boy!! Y’think ya can help me get this crabby out from under the rock? I can’t squish it fr’m ‘ere!!"

"I will not aid you in destroying the life of an god."

"Hm.. I’m afraid not. I don’t have time, sadly." Sad, but true. Though, one day, maybe she’ll have a pet. Preferably a dog.

// He seems a bit disappointed in this answer, however once she mentions that she wanted to own a dog one day he seems to smile a bit.  "Remember one thing songful one. You do not own the beast of the land, you are it's comrade in life. You're it's master and it's caretaker. Not a responsibility that you should take lightly."

“‘Disciple?’ I d-don’t…recall signing up t-t-to become a d-devoted follower of one whom looks l-like a cliche child’s book villain, th-thank you very much.”

"Haaah! You’ve f-failed here, cliche!" She triumphantly pointed an index finger at him, howling furiously all the while, "I already know th-that I look like a lonely old h-hag of a librarian! Or a m-mock of a princess’ servant! Your insults a-are unoriginal, for I already know th-these things to be true! So theeere!”

"Then you have come to a conclusion that I have been feeling for every comment you have made battering my appearance with your ignorant child-like words. " The male would continue to stare down at her with a straight face his scarf covering his mouth making his words come out slightly muffed but still loud and clear enough to hear.  " What is wrong little prairie girl? Your face seems to be getting a mimic color of a baboons buttocks." This was a insult in itself at least he was still using his talent to talk about her. Two for one right?

"You did what you had to do, and you did it well. If anything, I’m proud of you."

  "Recall that that body was made of inferior metals! Had I been at full strength, we might have been evenly matched. If you want to complain to anyone, complain to the Mechanic!" He chortled, eyes bright with mirth.

//A small smirk came to the males face as he nods a bit at the other, looking up a bit his scarf pulled up a bit to hid his smile.  "If that quells the night terrors from your head then I will play into your minds eyes, only to cease the sadness of truth for you. Simply due to the fact of what i have done, old man. "
