#kelle-bailey

Oh I still can. Instead of Poseidon, Xephos quivers before him. (look i’m using the right blog this time)

I’m not giving that traitorous canine a single cent. He has no right. Who appointed him? No one. He appointed himself, like always.

He and Lalna. I think a large majority of people are missing the big chunk of information here.

Cheddar: *She squeaks in her sleep, purring*

Kelle: *He's awake and sitting on the couch next to her*

Cheddar: *Budderball's run off somewhere and is playing with one of Jack's teddies. Cheddar slowly starts shuffling towards Vitali*

Cheddar: *She shuffles closer to him and shuffles up him, purring and starting to kiss him deeply*

Kelle: *He kisses her back and quickly blows a raspberry on her neck*

Cheddar: *She whines and keeps kissing him deeply, still asleep*

Kelle: *He blows another raspberry on her neck and chuckles into it*

Cheddar: *She stops him and keeps kissing, her whining into the kiss a little*

Kelle: *He keeps giving her raspberries on her neck, trying to wake her up*

Cheddar: *She stops kissing him and curls up on his lap, purring*

Kelle: Hey, hey wake up Cheddar. Time to rise and shine!

Cheddar: *She puts her hand over his face*

Kelle: Oof! Cheddar! *He whines softly*

Cheddar: *She snuggles up to him more and starts kissing him more, moving his top up so she can kiss his chest*

Kelle: Cheddar, wake up! Israphel is right over there!

Cheddar: *She doesn't hear him, slowly waking up a little more but still half asleep. She keeps kissing him more and moving down his chest and stomach*

Kelle: Cheddar! *He sighs and lets out a loud shriek*

Cheddar: *She jumps and yelps, rolling off the couch and groaning* What was that for?!

Kelle: You were starting to feel me up in your sleep with Israphel right there. *He points to the bed*

Cheddar: *She smirks* Is that really a bad thing?

Kelle: Well he's sleeping. Kelle said it took a while for her to get him to fall asleep.

Cheddar: *She huffs* I'm bored, Vitali.

Kelle: I'm sorry. I'm not sure what I can do about that.

Cheddar: Do you think John's awake? I kinda want to ask about my weapons. I miss them a lot. *She huffs*

Kelle: You can go check on him if you want. *The door to the bathroom opens and Kelle walks out with wet hair and a towel around her shoulders*

Israphel: *Hes still asleep, purring*

Cheddar: Okay. I'll go see him. *She smiles and nuzzles him, grinning* I'll be back as soon as I can. *She sees Kelle* Hey, if I get my bow, do you want to come practice?

Kelle: *She grins at Cheddar* Yeah, you bet I do. I haven't practiced in a few months now. I'm not sure if Mr. Purring over there will agree.

Cheddar: I can look after you. Israphel loves me. *She giggles and gets up, stretching* He'll be fine.

Kelle: Are you sure? *She walks over to Israphel with a towel and wipes the paint off of his face*

Cheddar: I'm sure. I'll convince him. *She giggles*

Kelle: Good luck with that. *She chuckles and sits next to him*

Israphel: *he slightly moves position, determined to continue sleeping *

Cheddar: I'll be fab. *She smiles and walks out, flying to John's room and knocking on the door* John?

Kelle: *She gets up and starts fixing her hair*

Kelle: *There's a grumble from behind the door* Yeah, I'm coming. Hold on.

Cheddar: *She waits there and smiles, humming slightly*

Israphel: *He resumes purring, still sleeping*

Kelle: Alright, you can come in! *There's shuffling from behind the door*

Kelle: *She chuckles at Israphel purring and ties her hair back in a loose pony tail, then changes into the shirt she had CB get*

Cheddar: *She opens the door and walks over to him* Hi John.

Kelle: Hello Cheddar. *He turns to her a little. There's a large bruise on his head*

Cheddar: *She frowns at the bruise* John? What happened?

Kelle: I passed out after I finished healing Kelle. I must have hit something, probably that. *He points to the bed side table*

Cheddar: *She nods* Okay... Anyway, I came to ask you can I have my weapons now? *She pouts* Pwease.

Kelle: I did say you could have them back in a few days and that was at least a week ago.

Israphel: *He half whimpers, rolling over on the bed*

Kelle: Alright, you can come in! *There's shuffling from behind the door*

Kelle: *She chuckles at Israphel purring and ties her hair back in a loose pony tail, then changes into the shirt she had CB get*

Cheddar: *She opens the door and walks over to him* Hi John.

Kelle: Hello Cheddar. *He turns to her a little. There's a large bruise on his head*

Cheddar: *She frowns at the bruise* John? What happened?

Kelle: I passed out after I finished healing Kelle. I must have hit something, probably that. *He points to the bed side table*

Cheddar: *She nods* Okay... Anyway, I came to ask you can I have my weapons now? *She pouts* Pwease.

Kelle: I did say you could have them back in a few days and that was at least a week ago.

Israphel: *He half whimpers, rolling over on the bed*

Cheddar has joined us.

Cheddar: So... Where are they? *She smiles*

Kelle: *She looks over at him as she pulls her shirt on* Issy?

Kelle: I'll go get them for you if you would like that.

Cheddar: *She nods* Yes. I would /love/ that. *She grins*

Israphel: *He tosses again, still whimpering*

Kelle: I'll be right back. *He quickly walks out of the room*

Cheddar: *She nods and giggles, quickly sitting in his chair and getting comfy whilst she waits*

Kelle: Issy, it's okay. *She goes over and sits next to him*

Kelle: *He comes back about 10 minutes later with a chest and sets it down on the floor* It's unlocked.

Cheddar: *She grins and pretty much leaps on the chest, grinning at John* Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Israphel: *He turns again, having a nightmare. He's pretty out of it, still whimpering*

Kelle: *He smiles at her* Please don't make me regret this.

Cheddar: *She nods* I promise. *She jumps him and hugs him* Thank yoooooooou!

Kelle: *She frowns when he whimpers and rests a hand on his shoulder* Issy, it's okay. I'm right here.

Kelle: *He chuckles softly* You're welcome. How is Kelle fairing?

Cheddar: She's good. I didn't know you could do that.

Israphel: *he freezes, feeling her hand. He's still softly whimpering*

Kelle: *He shrugs* It was a one time use potion I had. I got it a few months ago. *lies*

Kelle: *She lies down next to him, wraps her arms around him, and hugs him tightly* Issy, it's just a dream.

Cheddar: *She nods* It worked very well, she's /much/ beter now. *She smiles and goes to the chest, opening it and equiping all her weapons*

Kelle: Good. She needed it. *He chuckles at her* You know, you don't have to do that. They're all there.

Cheddar: Yeah but I missed them, they're like my other babies. *She grins, then hugs her bow tightly and squeaks*

Israphel: *He hears her and feels her hug him and cuddles her, still whimpering *

Kelle: That is a gorgeous bow. Where did you get it?

Cheddar: My dad made it for me. *She smiles and traces over the patterns, getting up and pulling the string back*

Kelle: *She hugs him more and strokes his side to try to calm him down* Issy, please. I'm right here.

Kelle: It's gorgeous and it's made beautifully.

Israphel: *His whimpering stops and he's slowly waking up, hugging Kelle tighter*

Cheddar: *She smiles* Thank you, I've had this for ages.

Kelle: *She keeps hugging him and stroking his side, kissing his cheek briefly* It's okay! It's just a dream. I'm right here!

Kelle: The only bows I've seen that look just as well made are the ones we have. Your father definitely knew what he was doing.

Cheddar: He used to carve one every year for my birthday, this was the last one he got to do. I have the others hidden somewhere no one will find them. *She smiles* My first one was really little.

Israphel: *His eyes flutter open, and he sounds tired* K..Kelle?

Kelle: He knew what he was doing. Did he make weapons for a living?

Cheddar: No, he was a cook. But he knew a lot.

Kelle: *She smiles at him and kisses him again* Yes, I'm right here.

Kelle: He should have gone into business making hunting bows. He would have made good money.

Israphel: *He clears his throat* Uhm. How long was I out?

Cheddar: He didn't like selling these kinds of things. He only ever made Oliver and I them. No one else was allowed. I remember once someone stole one and he sued them, he was very serious about it.

Kelle: All night and half the morning. You were having a nightmare just now.

Kelle: Oliver? *John goes and sits in his chair*

Cheddar: He was my brother. He preffered swords to bows.

Kelle: Ah, I see. I prefer bows myself as well.

Cheddar: Bows are better at long range. And dad taught us both to hunt with bows so we never had to pay for over priced market meat. *She smiles* He taught us everything we needed to know.

Kelle: That makes sense and it was good that he did that.

Cheddar: That's how I survived so long. *She smiles* I would've died a while ago if not for that.

Israphel: Oh, was I? *He clearly knows he was*

Kelle: *He nods slowly* It was good that he taught you all of that then.

Cheddar: Anyway, thank you for giving these back to me John. I promise you won't regret it. *She smiles and puts the bow over her shoulder*

Kelle: *She nods* You were whimpering and tossing and turning.

Cheddar: Okie dokie. *She hugs him before running back towards the room*

Kelle: Are you okay, Issy? It seemed like a pretty bad dream.

Israphel: Oh yeah, yeah, I can't even remember it. *lie*

Kelle: *He chuckles at her and goes to his office. Vitali is sprawled out on the couch*

Kelle: *She frowns at him* Are you sure about that?

Israphel: Yeah, of course.

Cheddar: *She swings the door open and grins* Kelle, I'm ready when you are?

Kelle: Oh hi again, Cheddar. *She smiles at her from snuggling Israphel*

Israphel: *He lets out a breath he didn't realize he'd been holding* Hello Cheddar.

Cheddar: *She giggles* Israphel would you be opposed to Kelle practicing her bow skills with me?

Israphel: Yes. She needs to learn from someone who can actually shoot.

Kelle: *She looks surprised and looks between them* You can shoot too, Issy.

Cheddar: Was that a compliment? From Israphel? Wow... I'm honoured. *She smiles*

Israphel: *He mumbles* Wow, good to see jokes are never missed in this crowd.

Kelle: *She flicks his arms* Be nice, Issy.

Cheddar: I heard that old man. *She crosses her arms and waits at the door*

Israphel: Oi, flicking isn't nice either. *He yawns* But go ahead. I'm still pretty tired.

Cheddar: *She grins and looks at Vitali* Watch the kids for us? All four of them? Please?

Israphel: *He pauses, thinking about what she said* Wow. Thanks, Cheddar.

Kelle: Me? What about CB? *CB is curled up on the floor asleep*

Cheddar: You're welcome Israphel. *She rolls her eyes and pouts at him* Does Vitali want to come too?

Kelle: I thought I needed to stay here and watch the kids. And Israphel.

Israphel: *He nods in thanks at Vitali for refraining from calling him a child*

Cheddar: Did you not just ask if CB could do it?

Kelle: CB is sleeping right now. I don't want to wake the sleeping creeper up.

Cheddar: Right. Okay, am I getting a kiss before we go?

Israphel: *He rolls his eyes* You're taking your sweet time.

Kelle: *He gets up and walks over to her, kissing her* How is that?

Kelle: *She flicks his arm again* Oh Issy. Be nice?

Israphel: I'm not a nice person. And I'm tired.

Kelle: You're still tired? How are you still tired, Issy?

Israphel: I don't know. I just know that I am.

Cheddar: *She grabs his collar and pulls him into a deep one before grinning* That's better.

Kelle: Is that normal for you? I mean have you been like this before?

Israphel: Tired? Yeah. After I get good sleep, I tend to get awfully tired. It's a creeper thing. *He mumbles* And the fact my head's been bonked doesn't help.

Kelle: *He kisses her back and chuckles* You should get going.

Kelle: Really? Maybe you shouldn't sleep as much.

Israphel: Make up your mind, Kelle.

Cheddar: I've got till Kelle decides to come. *She smiles and starts kissing him again, wrapping her arms around his neck*

Kelle: Well do you feel like you have to sleep?

Kelle: *He chuckles and kisses her back again*

Israphel: Well, yeah, I suppose, but I can easily go without sleeping.

Cheddar: *She leans against the door frame, pulling him closer*

Kelle: So...what happens if you don't get enough sleep?

Kelle: *He chuckles* What are you doing?

Cheddar: Resting on the door frame so I don't fall over. Because right now, you're sweeping me off my feet. *She smiles and starts kissing him again*

Israphel: Well, if I don't get enough sleep I'd pass out eventually. But I still have a while.

Kelle: Wow. That was so corny, Cheddar.

Cheddar: Well you are buttering me up right now. *She giggles a little*

Kelle: What do you mean?

Kelle: That was even worse. *He rolls his eyes*

Cheddar: *She giggles and kisses him, shutting him up and pulling him close*

Israphel: Just like anyone else. If I don't get enough sleep, I'll eventually pass out. But I still have a while until I'm at the passing out point.

Kelle: *He chuckles and rolls his eyes at her*

Kelle: *She frowns in worry* Then sleep. Please?

Cheddar: *She keeps kissing him, deepening it as much as she can*

Kelle: Cheddar, please. *He chuckles and ruffles her hair*

Israphel: I've got plenty of rest already. You've basically said it yourself.

Cheddar: Hey, you're my boyfriend and I wanna smooch. *She giggles, making kissy noises at him* Smooch my Vitali! Smoooooooch!

Kelle: *She hugs him tightly* Do you mind if I go practice with Cheddar for a bit?

Kelle: *He rolls his eyes again* I think Kelle might be ready for you.

Israphel: Go, go. I'll be here if you need me.

Cheddar: *She giggles and quickly kisses him* Love you.

Kelle: *She nods and hugs him before getting up* Just rest. Okay?

Kelle: I know. I love you too. *He ruffles her hair*

Cheddar: *She grins at him and stands up straight, kissing him again then looks at Kelle* You ready?

Kelle: I am, as soon as Issy answers me.

Israphel: *He huffs, hoping she would have left without him answering* I'll be fine. Go with Cheddar.

Kelle: *She chuckles and walks over to Cheddar* Rest. Vitali will tell me if you don't.

Cheddar: *She smiles and quickly puts her sword and guns by the door, looking at Vitali* Do not let the kids get them. *She smiles at Kelle* Let's go.

Kelle: Of course not. *He picks them up off the floor and puts them out of the kids' reach*

Kelle: *She skips over to Cheddar* I need to go upstairs to get my bow.

Cheddar: *She smiles* Okay, we'll head there then go the the shooting range. *She starts to head there*

Kelle: *She walks out with Cheddar and calls back to Israphel* Rest, Israphel!

Cheddar: *She laughs at Kelle a little and starts to walk to her room with her* How longs it been since you practiced?

Kelle: Uh....since before Christmas. Maybe around late November.

Kelle: *Vitali goes and sits on the couch, waiting for Israphel to say something*

Cheddar: I've had about that long, maybe a little more. John took my weapons off me.

Israphel: *He sighs* I want to get up.

Kelle: I remember that. Did he give them back to you?

Cheddar: Yeah I just went to get them. I've missed them so much.

Kelle: I don't think that's a good idea, Israphel.

Kelle: *She chuckles* That sounds like John.

Cheddar: I don't see what was /that/ bad.

Kelle: Well at least you have them back now. *She heads over to the room* I'm just happy I'm walking again!

Cheddar: *She giggles* It's been a while.

Israphel: I've never been a fan of good ideas.

Kelle: *He looks at Israphel* Don't even think of getting up.

Kelle: It's been way too long. I love being able to walk again!

Cheddar: *She giggles and follows her* Then let's get your bow quicky and go shoot some targets!

Kelle: Sounds great! *She runs into the room and freezes* What....what the hell is?!

Cheddar: *She laughs as she remembers the pink* Don't even ask oh my god.

Kelle: Did....did he do this?

Cheddar: Yeah... Pink.

Kelle: *She frowns and grumbles* I'm going to talk to Issy about this so we can remodel it.

Cheddar: Oh a new bedroom sounds nice. *She smiles* Now can we go shoot things?

Kelle: Sure, hold on. *She opens up a drawer on her dresser and pulls her bow out* At least Matt didn't change this.

Cheddar: Thank god for that. *She puts her bow on her back and secures it easily* You want to race there?

Kelle: Sure! *She puts her bow on her back and walks out of the room*

Cheddar: *She grins* Three, two, one... GO! *She starts to run down the hall, grinning*

Kelle: Hey! *She runs after Cheddar* You had a head start!

Cheddar: I also have a bad leg! Come on Kelle!

Kelle: *She keeps running after Cheddar* That's like five floors down from here!

Cheddar: Come on Kelle or I'll use my wings! *She flairs her wings a little*

Kelle: I can teleport there! *She giggles and catches up to her*

Cheddar: Kelle, that wouldn't be fair now. Would it? *She grins and jumps out of a window*

Kelle: Oi! How is that fair? I never said I was going to cheat! *She calls out the window after her*

Cheddar: *She's already heading down the side of the castle* I'm not cheating, Kelle! I'm using what I've got! *She laughs and swoops into a window on the second floor, continuing to run*

Kelle: *She teleports a floor down right by the staircase* Alright! I'm using mine then!

Cheddar: Kelle! I'm still below you! *She laughs and flies down the halls and stairs quickly*

Kelle: What?! *She quickly teleports to the shooting range and lies on her back like she's waiting for her*

Cheddar: *She flies to the shooting range and lands, not seeing Kelle and thinking she's won* That's right.

Kelle: Oh yeah, Cheddar. *She waves at her from where she's laying down*

Cheddar: *She sees Kelle and groans* Oh come on!

Kelle: Hi! What took you so long?

Cheddar: Oh shut up. *She giggles and takes her bow off her back, getting her quiver in place* Let's just practice this.

Kelle: *She laughs and gets up, pulling her bow off of her back* Sure thing!

Cheddar: *She aims at the furthest target, taking a deep breath and putting an arrow in place. She slowly pulls it back*

Kelle: *She watches Cheddar and grabs a quiver of arrows*

Cheddar: *She takes another deep breath aiming and closing one eye. She stays in the same positon for a moment then lets the arrow fly. She doesn't move untill the arrow's hit the target, it hits just inside the centre and grins* Still got it!

Kelle: *She grins at her* Nice! That's better than I could probably do right now.

Cheddar: You've just got to have patience. Quick, accurate fire takes a lot of practice.

Kelle: I know. I wish I could pick that up easier.

Cheddar: *She smiles* I can teach you some if you want?

Kelle: Can you?

Cheddar: Yeah, I'd be happy too.

Kelle: Thanks! *She picks up an arrow and notches the arrow in the bowstring* I'm sorry if I'm really rusty at this.

Cheddar: It's okay. *She smiles* Just copy me okay?

Kelle: I will. *She aims and takes her time, firing after a little while and hitting the middle of the target's ride side* Damn.

Cheddar: That's pretty good though. Considering you're experience. *She smiles and repeats what she did, not firing the arrow yet* Get in this position and pull the arrow back when you're ready.

Kelle: I usually can hit the center of the target. Sorry. *She strings up another arrow and pulls the string back*

Cheddar: Kelle you don't need to apologise unless you hit me with the arrow. *She giggles* Now deep breath and make sure the tip of the arrow is just above where you want it to land. When you fire, don't move from your position.

Kelle: I know. I remember all of this. *She copies Cheddar*

Cheddar: And hopefully you'll either hit in the centre or just outside. Either one is great! *She grins*

Kelle: *She nods* Should I go ahead and fire?

Cheddar: Whenever you're ready.

Kelle: *She lets out a slow breath and fires. The arrow hits closer to the bullseye* Well that's better.

Cheddar: I just think you need to practice more. Sometimes I imagine I haven't eaten for ages, and I really need this meal so I have to have a critical hit.

Kelle: Does that work?

Cheddar: For me it does. *She smiles*

Kelle: *She nods* Okay, let me try again. *She grabs another arrow and quickly strings it up, pulling the string back and letting out a slow breath*

Cheddar: *She watches her and smiles, stepping back a little*

Kelle: *She takes longer to fire and the arrow hits a spot much closer to the bullseye* That's even better!

Cheddar: Oh, I know. Imagine you have to hit Matt. Right in the head.

Kelle: *She grins and grabs another arrow, quickly firing it and hitting the edge of the bullseye* That works! Thanks for that.

Cheddar: *She giggles, just think of things you hate and imagine you're killing them. *She quickly pulls an arrow back and snarls, letting it fly. It hits the bullseye dead centre*

Kelle: *She grabs another arrow and fires, thinking of Matt and Noctus. The arrow hits the bullseye and she grins*

Cheddar: *She grins* Let me guess... Those nobheads?

Kelle: *She nods and keeps grinning* It works. I think I'll use that.

Cheddar: If you practice enough you'll be able to quickfire. It's not as accurate but there's more chance of hitting them, generally.

Kelle: We can work on that together. Maybe I can get Issy to give us a joint lesson.

Cheddar: That sounds like so much fun. *She grins* I can't wait.

Cheddar: ((what if when cheddar and kelle are told they're not allowed near matt when hes caught. they go down there anyway together just to see if its true and maybe throw stuff at him. but he sends them under his control and make them fight whoever comes down to hurt him?))

Kelle: Have you seen him shoot yet?

Cheddar: No I have not. Is he good?

Kelle: *She grins* He's brilliant at it! He can rapid fire arrows without a problem!

Cheddar: Ooooh, I have trouble with it sometimes. I'd love to perfect it.

Kelle: He can probably teach you. I don't think he would mind.Kelle: He can probably teach you. I don't think he would mind.

Cheddar: He and I are like that annoying brother and sister that just about get on. *She giggles* But he likes me enough.

Kelle: *She laughs* Yeah, that sounds about right.

Kelle: Israphel: I've never been a fan of good ideas. Kelle: *He looks at Israphel* Don't even think of getting up.

Israphel: Well it's too late for that. I've been thinking about it for a while.

Cheddar: He's a prat but he's okay.

Kelle: *He glares at him a little* You're not getting up.

Israphel: Not at the moment, no I'm not.

Kelle: *She rolls her eyes* He's not that bad. Try sleeping in the same room as him on a regular basis. The snoring is so loud.

Kelle: I'll just put you right back into bed if you get up.

Israphel: Is that a promise or a threat?

Kelle: Both. If CB was awake, he would agree.

Cheddar: I've got Vitali to put up with. And Jack... And Budderball...

Israphel: Well, you're no fun.

Kelle: Israphel is a ball of fun when he's injured. He can't be nearly as bad as Vitali.

Kelle: Thanks for that. *He relaxes on the couch and picks up a book*

Israphel: *He slightly scoots toward the edge of the bed* Whatcha readin?

Cheddar: *She giggles* Vitali whines, groans, lies about being okay, snores like a foghorn, pouty face whiney arse. *She giggles and dramatically puts a hand on her chest* It's almost like he's too perfect! *She smiles*

Kelle: A book from the library. Why?

Israphel: Just trying to have a conversation. Notch.

Kelle: *She laughs* Israphel is pretty much like that except he refuses to eat, sleep, or drink.

Kelle: Mhm. *He looks up from his book* So I hear there's baby creepers on the way?

Cheddar: Our boys are really something. *She giggles* Can't not love them.

Israphel: *He groans* don't get me started.

Kelle: *She nods* Yeah, but it seems like Issy is getting a bit more comfortable with things. I hope me going off with John didn't change that.

Kelle: *He chuckles* It won't be that bad. The most they can have is three or two, right?

Cheddar: I think he was just worried, we all were.

Israphel: The least they would have is three or two.

Kelle: Really? What did he say?

Kelle: Least? So they can have more than that?

Cheddar: Well he was crawling around looking for you. Then insisted I take him to the places you might be. That's about it. *lies about him saying he needed her*

Kelle: He wasn't panicking, was he?

Cheddar: He was a little.

Israphel: Well, a lot of their young die off within a short period. In the wild, they have about a max of fifteen. Some of them die, most of them don't feel attachment to the parents. There are usually only two or three in family groups that stick together.

Kelle: Oh....I should have said something. Was he screaming at all?

Kelle: That's......depressing. How long before they're here?

Cheddar: He was shouting for you. And was clinging to me when I found him, he looked really scared.

Israphel: No idea. CB didn't tell me when they ... Created them.

Kelle: *She looks down* I feel bad about that now.

Kelle: *He laughs* "Created them?" Nice.

Cheddar: Hey it's okay. He seems fine now. *She smiles* So have you heard anything new?Israphel: *He rolls his eyes * Yes. That was the best I could think of.

Kelle: *She smiles* Yeah. I have good news.

Cheddar: Go on?

Kelle: *He laughs again* How long does it usually take for creepers to be born? I have no idea.

Kelle: CB and NC, they're expecting.

Cheddar: What? Babies? Are you joking?

Israphel: About half the time it takes for humans.

Kelle: No, I'm not! They're having baby creepers!

Kelle: So that's around...four to five months?

Israphel: *He nods*

Kelle: We can ask CB when they got together so we can know when they're coming, whenever CB wakes up.

Israphel: I do hope it was recently.

Kelle: Why recently?

Israphel: More time to prepare.

Kelle: It shouldn't take that long. They're just babies.

Israphel: With bombs.

Kelle: Oh it won't be that bad. Don't worry so much.

Israphel: Small spawns with bombs.

Kelle: You can be a spawn with a bomb sometimes.

Israphel: Well thanks.

Kelle: With your fiery attitude, yeah. You can be.

Israphel: *He chuckles* Wow.

Kelle: What? I'm just being honest with you.

Israphel: I appreciate the honesty I suppose.

Kelle: Would you rather that I lie to you?

Israphel: You lie to me and you die.

Kelle: Well gee. That's a bit extreme. Are you angry with me about something?

Israphel: Nope. But my head hurts.

Kelle: Still from that concussion? That should have gone away by now. Shouldn't it?

Israphel: I'm no doctor.

Kelle: Neither am I but you should be feeling better by now. It's been a while.

Israphel: Oh well in that case, I'm all better. Good job.

Kelle: Oh nice try, Israphel. That's not going to work on me.

Israphel: Oh damn. It seems nothing gets past you.

Kelle: Well done figuring that out. I know how you are with your health.

Israphel: Do you now? Tell me how I am.

Kelle: You lie and hide how you're feeling until you have to tell people. You keep it bottled in until whatever's wrong with you is killing you.

Israphel: Yeah, that sounds about right. You said it so poetically though. You should write a book.

Kelle: I could have said you're stubborn as hell.

Israphel: That works too.

Kelle: Stubborn as hell and an ass when you're sick or in pain.

Israphel: Yeah, that's also pretty accurate.

Kelle: And only Kelle seems to calm you down. That and sedatives.

Israphel: Sedatives. I'm going to fucking kill the next person that comes near me with a needle.

Kelle: Oh really? What if that person is Kelle?

Israphel: *He frowns* At least a slap.

Kelle: *He raises an eyebrow* You would actually slap her?

Israphel: *He grumbles* No.

Kelle: I thought so. I would hope you wouldn't slap her.

Israphel: Why?

Kelle: Why do you think?

Israphel: If I knew I wouldn't have asked.

Kelle: I think you know why. You can't hurt like that over something simple.

Israphel: I would gladly hurt you over something so simple.

Kelle: Oh I know you would but Kelle is the one exception.

Israphel: *He nods* Yeah.

Kelle: I knew that already. She's the one person I think you can't stand to hurt.

Israphel: Mmmm. *He yawns*

Kelle: Are you tired again? You're yawning.

Israphel: *His yawn continues as he talks* No I'm not.

Kelle: You just yawned again.

Israphel: No I didn't.

Kelle: Are you deaf? Yes, you did. I'm not blind or deaf, Israphel.

Israphel: Are you sure of that?

Kelle: I'm a vampire. I'm fairly sure that I have better hearing than you do.

Israphel: *He yawns again* Look, now you've gotten me thinking about yawning so I'm yawning now.

Kelle: Oh stop. You're just making excuses.

Israphel: Pfft nah.

Kelle: Yes, you are. I know you're yawning.

Israphel: No you don't.

Kelle: *He picks up his book again* Get some rest. Maybe your headache would go away faster.

Israphel: I don't want to go to bed.

Kelle: You sound like a child.

Israphel: You sound like an annoying idiot.

Kelle: Thank you. *He sighs* Are you going to stay up all day and night?

Israphel: I usually do.

Kelle: But you need the rest. Cheddar yells at me when I pull something like this.

Israphel: Good for Cheddar.

Kelle: She does it a lot since I don't sleep as much as she does.

Israphel: This story is getting very interesting.

Kelle: Why would it?

Israphel: *He rolls his eyes and yawns again, the yawn cutting off his answer*

Kelle: What was that? I couldn't hear you over the sound of you yawning.

Israphel: Wasn't yawning.

Kelle: Oh really? Then what was this? *He imitates Israphel yawning*

Israphel: Well, it seems you just yawned. Maybe you should go to bed.

Kelle: I'm not tired. I slept a little earlier before you woke up.

Israphel: But you're yawning. Yawning means you're tired. Are you feeling well?

Kelle: I feel fine, Israphel. Don't even try to twist the situation.

Israphel: Twist what situation? The only situation we have here is you being tired.

Kelle: I'm not tired. Don't even start!

Israphel: Start what? Caring about your health and safety?

Kelle: Not long ago you said you would smack me if I came near you with a needle and now you're saying that?

Israphel: Putting words in my mouth, how very rude!

Kelle: Don't, Israphel. That isn't going to work on me.

Israphel: What isn't going to work on you?

Kelle: You and your mind games and trying to turn the situation around.

Israphel: What the hell are you talking about?

Kelle: You know exactly what I'm talking about!

Israphel has joined us.

Israphel: I wouldn't be asking if I knew!

Kelle: You know. You're just playing dumb with me.

Israphel: You're just being annoying. Trying to confuse me, Vitali, my head already hurts enough.

Kelle: Good. Maybe you'll go to sleep if your head hurts too much.

Israphel: I'm sure you owe me an apology first. For giving me this headache.

Kelle: No, I don't. I really don't think I owe you an apology for you being stubborn.

Israphel: Being stubborn? I've just been trying to go to bed!

Kelle: Oh so you're going to admit that you're tired?

Israphel: Of course I'm tired, I'm still getting over a concussion! You're simply preventing me from sleeping!

Kelle: Then go to sleep! I can easily stop talking to you and read this book.

Israphel: So why haven't you yet? I've been asking you to quiet down!

Kelle: *He opens his book back up and doesn't say anything*

Israphel: *He smiles and lies down, mumbling "I'm not tired". He then proceeds to fall asleep.*

Cheddar: *She squeals and jumps up and down grinning* BABY CREEPERS!

Kelle: *She laughs at her reaction* Oh my god! You sound excited.

Cheddar: I can't wait! *She giggles* They're going to be adorable like CB! *She giggles* I might keep one for myself if they're really adorable. Do you think I'd be allowed? Having a pet creeper would be awesome.

Kelle: I have no idea. That might be up to Issy and CB. *She laughs again* Who knows what they'll look like? NC doesn't really look like CB.

Cheddar: I've honestly never seen NC. All I know is she's a creeper and a girl.

Kelle: Well CB is about three times her size. She's not that much bigger than I am.

Cheddar: She sounds adorable.

Kelle: She's really sweet. Issy thinks she likes me for some reason.

Cheddar: Maybe it was that you two were the only girls in the castle at the time?

Kelle: *She laughs* Probably. I mean, I haven't seen many other women around here unless I'm just not seeing them.

Cheddar: I haven't seen them. *She giggles* This castle just needs a womans touch. I think we should just put flowers everywhere just to annoy the boys, especially Israphel.

Kelle: Oh my god. I did have flowers in our room at one point, then woke up with them in my hair.

Cheddar: Aaaaaw. Was that a certain bald person?

Kelle: Yeah, that was Issy. He has a habit of doing things to my hair when I'm sleeping.

Cheddar: *She giggles* He's so adorkable.

Kelle: Adorkable? What does that mean?

Cheddar: He's an adorable dork. He totally is.

Kelle: *She giggles* He is. He definitely is. He's not that bashful around me anymore either.

Cheddar: Which is even more adorable. *She giggles* His purring is brilliant.

Kelle: Mhm, he does that every time I start massaging or rubbing his side. I think he enjoys it to some extent.

Cheddar: Vitali does it too. It took a while for him to purr too. *She giggles* He likes his belly rubs, try that on Israphel.

Kelle: Belly rubs? I wonder if Issy would let me do that.

Cheddar: I think he would right now. *She smiles* He seems to be very happy with them.

Kelle: *She nods* I'm surprised he let me give a massage to begin with. Normally he doesn't like being touched.

Cheddar: He must like you a lot then. *She smiles*

Kelle: I think he does. He just doesn't like admitting to things. You know?

Cheddar: I know. *She smiles* I know what you mean.

Kelle: Is Vitali like that?

Cheddar: Sometimes. When we first started dating, he was hesitant about it all. But now he's not that bothered.

Kelle: Hesitant about what? You two dating?

Cheddar: Mhm, because he didn't want to hurt me. He was worried the whole thing with Amber would happen again.

Kelle: Oh, I never knew that. He doesn't like that bothers him, at least when I'm around him he doesn't.

Cheddar: He doesn't really bring it up and I never have a reason to bring it up, so it's pretty rare if it does. But now he's great and he's adorable. *She leans on one of the stands and smiles*

Kelle: *She nods and sits on one of the stands* Did you guys plan to have Jack? I'm just curious.

Cheddar: We did not. He just happened, and I didn't want to have to lose another child. So we made sure we were ready for him.

Kelle: Well he's a little cutie. I still have that squid hat he gave me.

Cheddar: *She giggles* I think he just forgot about it. It took me way to long to convince him to keep it on his head.

Kelle: Really? How long did it take?

Cheddar: Like a couple of hours and a lot of sweets.

Kelle: Let me guess. It took a lot of caramel.

Cheddar: A shit tonne.

Kelle: That baby and caramel, it's like CB and potatoes.

Cheddar: We might need to stage some interventions.

Kelle: Interventions for Jack or CB?

Cheddar: Yes.

Kelle: *She laughs* Maybe Jack needs one first.

Cheddar: Yeah, maybe. We'll do it when he starts getting older. He needs it. *She grins and puts her bow over her back*

Kelle: Are we done for now?

Cheddar: If you think we are? We can come down here again. *She smiles*

Kelle: That sounds good. *She puts the arrows back and sling her bow over her shoulder* What next?

Cheddar: What do you want to do?

Kelle: *She shrugs* I have no idea.

Cheddar: Uh... Back to our boys or get food for the kids and our boys?

Kelle: Can we do food? *Her stomach growls after she speaks*

Cheddar: We can do food. *She grins* Let's go to the kitchen. *She grins and flies off, outside and up the side of the building* Come on Kelle! No time to waste!

Kelle: *She laughs and walks back into the castle, running up the stairs that lead to the kitchen*

Cheddar: *She flies to the floor the kitchen's on and flies to the kitchen, sitting on the counter and eating some bread*

Kelle: *She shows up after a few minutes* How long have you been waiting there?

Cheddar: Five minutes-ish. I've eaten a lot of bread. *She smiles*

Kelle: Sorry I made you wait. Maybe I should have just teleported up here

Cheddar: It's fine. *She smiles* I started cooking some things. But I don't know what you want, what would you like?

Kelle: Well what do you feel like making?

Cheddar: I don't mind. *She smiles* I'm already cooking pies so anything you want wouldn't be hard to do.

Kelle: Pies? Who is that for?

Cheddar: John and ZB. You can guess what they are.

Kelle: Oh. Yeah, I think I can.

Cheddar: *She giggles* So what would you like?

Kelle: Can I have one? But, you know, different meat?

Cheddar: Sure. *She grabs what she needs* Can you do the kids sandwiches?

Kelle: Yeah. What do they eat on them?

Cheddar: Meat or cheese?

Kelle: Both. I don't know if they eat cheese. I know Fell doesn't like cheese much.

Cheddar: *She smiles* Jack doesn't care, do what you think.

Kelle: *She nods and quickly goes about making sandwiches for the kids, leaving cheese off of Fell's sandwich and debates on making one for Israphel*

Cheddar: *She finishes cooking the pies and separates Kelle's from John's and ZB's*

Kelle: *She makes a sandwich for him anyway, figuring CB will eat it if he doesn't. She sets it on the plate with the little ones*

Cheddar: *She looks at Kelle, picking up the tray* Ready when you are.

Kelle: Hold on! *She runs into the fridge and comes back with drinks for the kids and herself* Okay, now I'm ready.

Cheddar: *She giggles* Let's go. *She starts walking down the hall*

Kelle: *She walks out after her, ignoring the ache in her left wrist*

Cheddar: *She leads Kelle past John and ZB's room, placing their pies outside their doors and knocking*

Kelle: *There's snoring from inside John's room. Cheddar can probably hear it*

Cheddar: *She stops Kelle a minute, skipping into the room and putting the pie on his desk. She picks up a piece of (probably not important) paper and scribbles on the back of it "Try a little priest?" then leaves*

Kelle: *John keeps on sleeping, not even hearing her* Is John asleep?

Cheddar: He's asleep. *She smiles* Shall we head back?

Kelle: Yup. *She heads over to the door, sticks the bottles under her left arm, and tries to open the door with her free hand*

Cheddar: *She opens the door with her wing claw and smiles, gesturing for kelle to go in first*

Kelle: *She walks in, sort of hurrying over to the table a little faster than necessary. Vitals looks up from his book* Hey there you two.

Cheddar: Hi. *She watches Kelle for a moment, walking over with her and putting Kelle's pie down and smiles* There you go, Kelle.

Kelle: Hmm? Oh thanks. *She smiles, casually rubbing her wrist a bit*

Cheddar: Is your wrist okay?

Kelle: Yeah, it's fine. Why?

Cheddar: You're rubbing it, like it's hurt.

Kelle: It just feels sore. I'm sure it's fine.

Cheddar: *She nods* Tell me if anything happens with it, I don't want it hurting you. *She smiles and heads over to Vitali*

Kelle: *She nods and starts to eat her food. Vitali frowns at Cheddar* Everything alright?

Cheddar: Yeah, everything's fine. *She purrs as she curls up next to him and pulls him into a kiss*

Kelle: *He kisses her back* Guess who's asleep?

Cheddar: Baldy. *She smiles and nuzzles him more* Can we please make out some? I wanna make out. Please?

Kelle: If you really want to. We just have to be quiet since Kelle is eating. I don't think she want to hear us being noisy.

Cheddar: *She nods* Promise I'll be quiet. *She shuffles back and leans against the couch, pulling him close and almost on top of her* Come on baby...

Kelle: Alright. *He starts to kiss her, running a hand through her hair*

Cheddar: *She kisses him back and wraps her arms around his neck, deepening it a little*

Kelle: *He deepens the kiss right back and ruffles her hair*

Cheddar: *She runs her hands through his hair from the back of his head and lets him deepen it, moving backwards against the couch more and lies down on it. She keeps the kiss going as she pulls him down*

Kelle: *He hovers over her and keeps kissing her, massaging her wings gently*

Cheddar: *She purrs quietly when he massages her wings, arching her back a little and moving her arm down his back to do the same to him*

Kelle: *He hisses softly when she starts massaging his wings. Kelle looks up from her food at the hiss and giggles to herself when she sees them*

Cheddar: *She keeps kissing him, not hearing Kelle. She deepens the kiss more, and massaging his wings more*

Kelle: *He lets out another hiss, a little louder than the last one*

Cheddar: Shhh... *She keeps kissing him and stops massaging him*

Kelle: *He hisses again* Why did you stop/

Cheddar: You're being noisy. *She pulls him back into a kiss, refusing to stop*

Kelle: No, I'm not. How am I...*The kiss cuts him off*

Cheddar: *She smiles into the kiss and deepens it, managing to pull him onto her so he's lying on top of her*

Kelle: *He purrs softly and deepens the kiss, moving to her neck*

Cheddar: *She lets him kiss her neck, gasping a little and purring quietly with him a little*

Kelle: *He chuckles and kisses her jawline, running his hand through her hair again*

Cheddar: *She smiles and lets him, arching her back a little and running her hands through his hair*

Kelle: *He keeps kissing her jawline, being as gentle as he can*

Cheddar: *She pulls him closer, forcing him to deepen the kisses*

Kelle: *He deepens the kiss even more and wriggles in between Cheddar and the back of the couch*

Cheddar: *She gasps and closes her eyes happily, letting him move between her and the couch then pressing against him*

Cheddar: *She shushes him and keeps kissing him deeply, wrapping her arm around his back and running a hand through her hair*

Kelle: *He lets out another loud purr. Kelle leaves her drink alone and gets up to bring the sandwiches to the kids, leaving the one for Israphel behind*

Cheddar: *She smiles and slowly moves her hand down his chest and stomach, heading to his pants*

Kelle: *He grabs her hand and stops her* Not now.

Cheddar: *She whimpers as he grabs her hand and freezes*

Kelle: Cheddar, it's okay. We can do something soon, just not with Kelle and the kids here.

Cheddar: You scared me. *Her whimper turns into a purr and she nods, starting to kiss him again*

Kelle: I did? I didn't mean to.

Cheddar: I was in the moment a lot and I didn't realise, when you stopped me it scared me because you've never done that when we were that into it. It's okay. *She purrs at him and nuzzles him, kissing his neck*

Kelle: Are you sure? I'm sorry if I scared you.

Cheddar: I'm sure and you don't need to apologise. *She smiles and turns over, pressing her back against him and turning her head to look at him* You're my big spoon.

Kelle: *He chuckles softly at her* I can tell.

Cheddar: *She smiles* I'm your little spoon. And we like to fork. *She giggles*

Kelle: Oh...did you just imply something?

Cheddar: Maybe. *She giggles*

Kelle: You did. *He chuckles and shakes his head. Kelle comes back in with an empty plate, hurrying over to the table again*

Cheddar: *She smiles and holds his hand tighty, purring deeply* Are you okay Kelle?

Kelle: Yeah, I'm fine. The kids ate their food.

Cheddar: Did you eat yours?

Kelle: Yeah, I did. I'm just waiting for Issy to wake up so he can eat.

Cheddar: Were we too loud?

Kelle: Uh...maybe just a little bit?

Cheddar: I'm sorry Kelle, we didn't mean to be. *She smiles* Are we forgiven?

Kelle: Yeah, of course you guys are. *She turns to her drink and goes to open it. Vitali grins at Cheddar* See, I wasn't too loud.

Cheddar: Kelle, how loud was he? Was he louder than me?

Kelle: He was a lot louder than you.

Cheddar: *She giggles* There you go.

Kelle: I wasn't being that loud. The kids couldn't hear me so...*He gets cut off by a loud yelp from Kelle and she drops her drink on the floor*

Cheddar: *Cheddar jumps up straight away, flitting over the sleeping Israphel and landing next to Kelle* Let me see your wrist.

Kelle: *She's shaking a little and holding her left arm close to her chest* I'm sorry! I broke the bottle now.

Cheddar: No, ignore that; Vitali will clean that up. I want to see your wrist. *She holds out her hand*

Kelle: It's fine. I...I said it's just sore.

Cheddar: Kelle, let me see it. Please. I need to know if I need to get John.

Kelle: *She nods slowly and gingerly holds out her arm for Cheddar* It hurts!

Cheddar: *She nods and gently presses around her wrist, watching her reaction*

Kelle: *She squeezes her eyes shut and whimpers*

Cheddar: *She nods* Kelle wait her. Vitali clean that up. I'll be right back. *She limps out the door and flies to John's room, barging in* John! JOHN!

Kelle: *He nods and goes to clean up the bottle, Kelle overly apologizing to him. John looks up from his chair where he's eating his pie* Yes?

Cheddar: There's something wrong with Kelle's wrist. And sorry for bursting in. *She smiles apologetically*

Kelle: *He frowns and sets his nearly empty plate aside* What's wrong?

Cheddar: I don't know, it just started hurting.

Kelle: Take me to her. What was she doing?

Cheddar: She was carrying a drink and then she just dropped it.

Kelle: *He stands and goes to walk out* She probably strained it. Let me see her.

Cheddar: *She nods and heads back towards the room, half flying half limping*

Kelle: *He follows after her. Kelle is curled up on the couch, clutching her arm close to her chest again*

Cheddar: *She lands and limps over to the couch, sitting down and hissing quietly to herself. She holds her leg and watches John*

Kelle: Kelle, let me see. *She shakes her head* No. It's fine.

Cheddar: *She pulls her pant leg up to the bandage and there's some blood coming through the top layer. She frowns and struggles up to get clean bandages*

Kelle: Cheddar, I'm looking at that once I'm finished with Kelle. *He managed to get her to show him her wrist*

Cheddar: I'm fine, just sort Kelle out. *She gets into the bathroom and grabs bandages, removing the old ones. That was a mistake. Blood starts to move down her leg quickly and the stitches have ripped, she curses and quickly puts a cloth over the wound* Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck... *She whines for Vitali*

Kelle: *He hears her and walks over to the bathroom. John is looking Kelle over* Cheddar? What's wrong?

Cheddar: The stiches have ripped... *She removes the cloth for a moment, showing the bood as it runs down her leg again*

Kelle: Don't do that! *He presses down on the wound*

Cheddar: *she watches him and huffs* It might have been the moving around on it too much...

Kelle: You need to stay off your feet for a while again. Hold on. *He gets a needle and thread out of the cabinet*

Cheddar: *She watches him the whole time, whining at him* But that's boring! And we have people in /our/ bed!

Kelle: You still need to rest. *He starts to fix the stitches*

Cheddar: *She groans loudly, whining at the same time and starting to throw a tantrum* But VITALI!

Kelle: Cheddar, this is not up for discussion.

Cheddar: *She huffs and crosses her arms, whining* But it's not fair! Why does this always happen? It's stupid, I thought we were supposed to heal better. I hate it. I fucking hate it. This is unbelievable. I hate it. Why can't I just be better, I just want to be better. Stupid bullet, it wasn't even silver. It was cheap copper. Fucks sake.

Kelle: Cheddar, you keep walking around on it instead of letting it heal. That's why it's taking longer.

Cheddar: But I have to move around when people are hurt. Not my fault they need looking after. They got hurt because we didn't protect them. But no, I have to be part ot that too. Unbelievable. I just want to go outside and not get hurt for once. But no, no one can do that. That's a stupid idea because whenever I leave this room, I get hurt in one way or another. Stupid fucking idiot dick shooting me in the leg like he can. Unbeliveable, what a cunt.

Kelle: Cheddar, calm down please. If Kelle hears you she's going to get upset. *He finishes stitching up her leg and covers the wound*

Cheddar: No I will not calm down. Not when I'm not allowed to walk around when I want to because some knobhead shot me. Why isn't it healing it's supposed to heal faster. We're vampires why isn't it healing? Did something happen when I was asleep, I still have all the vampire things. So what's the problem? I don't understand why I have to stay off my feet because I've got a wound! Uuuuuuugh! I just want to do something fun and not boring and not have to stay in this room for ages again because I'm injured. I'm getting claustrophobic and I hate it. I hate being confined. This room may be big but I can't help but feel I'm going to get stuck in here forever. I HATE IT! I wanna go out! I wanna have fun! But, nooooooo, I can't have fun. Why would I ever get to have fun. Pfft. If I ever had fun, imagine. Oh my god I'm so annoyed at him, he shot me! He fucking shot me! There was no need to shoot me, unbelievable. I'm pretty sure I didn't fucking hurt him at all, I just punched him and he shot me. Fucks sake.

Kelle: *He sighs, not sure how to respond and he just lets her rant*

Cheddar: *She continues ranting, going for around another ten minutes* Un-fucking-believable. I seriously cannot believe this at all. *She huffs and crosses her arms, just sitting there before looking at Vitali* Well?!

Kelle: I don't have anything to say except you're resting until John releases you from the "hospital."

Cheddar: *She screeches at him and gets up, storming out and ranting to herself again*

Kelle: *He quickly follows after her and scoops her up, throwing her over his shoulder* No, I don't think so.

Cheddar: *She kicks and shouts* Let me go! I just want to go out!

Kelle: No, you can't be walking around right now.

Cheddar: *She screeches again, trying to get away from him* Vitali! Let! Me! Go!

Kelle: I said no. You shouldn't be walking on that leg if it's still injured. You can help keep Kelle company while Israphel is resting.

Cheddar: *She groans and keeps struggling* Just let me go! When I hurt myself, then you can say I told you so! JUST LET ME GO! *She starts flapping her wings wildly, hitting him with them*

Kelle: No. You're staying here and you're resting. I'll tie you up like John does with Israphel if you don't behave.

Cheddar: *She keeps screeching and flapping her wings, struggling a lot and clearly not giving in*

Kelle: John, can you help me? *He nods and finishes securing a brace and wrap around Kelle's wrist* Keep hold of her until I get back.

Cheddar: *She shouts at him* Vitali I just want to go out! Why are you doing this?! *She struggles more, desperately trying to get away at any points she can*

Kelle: Cheddar for the last time, I said no. *He holds on tightly to her and Kelle keeps giving them nervous looks*

Cheddar: *She growls at him and keeps struggling* I. Just. Wanna. Go. Out.

Kelle: No! *John comes back in with thick, metal cords* Keep her still, Vitali.

Cheddar: *She snarls at John when she sees the cords* Don't you dare! No! *She gets a wing free and flaps it about, hitting Vitali repeatedly*

Kelle: *He turns his head, grabs her wings with his own and pins them against her. John quickly starts to tie them to her*

Cheddar: *She whines and tries to stop them, screeching a little* Let go!

Kelle: *John ties her wings together, then moves to her legs* Cheddar, please stop.

Cheddar: *She starts kicking out, not wanting them to do it*

Kelle: *John grabs her legs and quickly ties them together, quickly starting to do the same with her arms* Stop this right now!

Cheddar: *She shrieks loudly, baring her fangs at him and still struggling*

Kelle: *John makes his eyes go dark and lets out a zombie like grumble* Stop!

Cheddar: *She ignores him and keeps going managing to knee Vitali in the side with her legs as she struggles*

Kelle: *John grumbles again and ties her arms to her sides, pinning them there*

Cheddar: *She tries to move, trying to hide the whimper when she cant and keeps struggling*

Kelle: *John's eyes are still dark and he growls softly* You're resting until I say you're healed.

Cheddar: *She growls back at him and keeps trying to escape*

Kelle: *John growls right back at her and it sounds very zombie-like.

Cheddar: *She hisses at him and bares her fangs, her struggling almost desperate*

Kelle: *John lets his eyes go completely dark and makes a zombie like snarl, wanting Cheddar to stop struggling*

Cheddar: *She looks at him and recoils a little, trying to back up*

Kelle: *John snarls again but a little less fierce as before. Kelle is watching them with wide eyes*

Cheddar: *She closes her eyes and keeps trying to shuffle back*

Kelle: Are you finished? *There's a slight growl to his voice*

Cheddar: *She nods and swallows, keeping her eyes shut*

Kelle: Good. *His eyes go back to normal and he sighs* I'm sorry about that.

Cheddar: *There's a quiver in her voice* Both of you just go awa-away. Now.

Kelle: *They look at each other and Vitali nods* Look after Kelle then.

Cheddar: *She struggles to sit up and glares at them* Fuck you. *She backs up into the corner and curls up as best she can, shaking a little*

Kelle: *Vitali sighs and walks out. John looks at Cheddar* He was just trying to help you.

Cheddar: *She ignores them and she's whimpering, still struggling slightly*

Kelle: You're not going to get out of that. That's what I used to tie Israphel to the bed before.

Cheddar: *She doesn't hear him over her own whimpering. She's shaking more now and struggling more*

Kelle: *John starts to walk out* Don't use that wrist, Kelle. *She nods as he walks out*

Cheddar: *Her whimering turns to sobbing and she stops struggling, turning her back to the room and facing the wall. She's mumbling occassionally**

Kelle: *Kelle peeks over the couch at Cheddar* Cheddar? Are you okay?

Cheddar: Y-Yeah... F-F-Fine... *She's still sobbing and shaking*

Kelle: Are you sure? I can wake CB up if you need cuddles.

Cheddar: I'm f-f-fine Kelle... Thanks...

Kelle: Are you absolutely sure?

Cheddar: Y-Y-Y-Yes... *She jumps at nothing and curls up more*

Kelle: *She frowns at Cheddar jumping and debates on waking CB up*

Cheddar: *She's shaking, mumbling, whimpering and jumping occasionally. She occasionally moves her wings, but gets no where*

Kelle: *She keeps watching Cheddar, starting to get worried*

Cheddar: *She mumbles loud enough for Kelle to hear* Vitali? *She whimpers when there's no answer and sobs more*

Kelle: Do you want me to get Vitali?

Cheddar: *She just about hears Kelle and starts mumbling* No, no, no, no, no... *She keeps mumbling no over and over*

Kelle: Cheddar, it's me. It's Kelle. It's okay. *She starts to wonder if she did something wrong.

Cheddar: *She doesn't hear Kelle, still mumbling no*

Kelle: *She raises her voice* It's me, Cheddar. Did I do something wrong?

Cheddar: No K-Kelle... You're f-f-fine... Pro- *She cuts herself off when she seizes up and seizures a little*

Kelle: Cheddar! *She gets up and moves around the couch toward her*

Cheddar: *She keeps seizuring for a moment before freezing and her mouth opening, her eyes wide*

Kelle: Cheddar....what, what's going on? *She's starting to sound scared*

Cheddar: *She makes guttoral noises for a while then goes limp and silent. She lies there for a while before shrieking so loudly the whole floor will have heard. She keeps shrieking louldy*

Kelle: *Kelle backs up and falls onto the couch, curling up to a tight ball and screaming for Israphel. John and Vitali run into the room* Cheddar!

Cheddar: *She's still shrieking, sobbing at the same time. She stops after a moment and passes out*

Kelle: *Vitali runs to Cheddar and John runs to Kelle, who's curled up in a tight ball and crying softly*

Cheddar: *She's limply lying on the floor, her face tear soaked and her lip is bleeding a lot*

Kelle: *He starts cleaning up her face. John picks Kelle up, holds her in his lap, and hums softly in her ear*

Cheddar: *She doesn't respond to him until he touches her, then she jumps and stares at Vitali in panic. She starts to struggle again, whimpering loudly*

Kelle: Cheddar, it's okay! It's me! Vitali!

Cheddar: *She doesn't hear him and looks at the restraints, trying more to break or open them* N-Noc... Noctus... *She's looking desparate*

Kelle: It's okay, love. Noctus isn't here. *He holds her close to him*

Cheddar: *She keeps struggling and whimpers* H-H-Help...

Kelle: What do you want e to do, love?

Cheddar: Help! *She tugs at the restraints more, starting to sob when they dont move*

Kelle: Alright, just stop struggling for a moment. *He quickly pulls all the cords off of her and pulls her close*

Cheddar: W-Why...? *She moves close to him and snuggles him for a minute before passing out completely, she wont wake up for a few hours*

Kelle: Cheddar! *He sighs and holds her close to him. John is still trying to calm Kelle down*

              Israphel: *He's been completely out for the whole thing, but his eyes start to flutter open, him mumbling something to himself very quickly, ass if he was having a full conversation with himself*

Kelle: *She's crying and whimpering from the couch, making quite a lot of noise. John is trying to calm her down by humming to her*

Israphel: *He continues mumbling for a few seconds, then hears Kelle crying. He immediately looks at her, his eyes a cloudy red* What the hell happened?

Kelle: *John looks over at him* She strained her wrist and she's stuck in some flashback or nightmare.

Israphel: How long have I been sssleeping? *He doesn't notice the hiss in his own voice, not really being angry at anything*

Kelle: Well, it's nearly evening. I believe you've been out for most of the day. *Kelle's clinging to John, still stuck in her nightmare/flashback and crying*

Israphel: Why didn't you wake me? *He glances at Kelle for a second and lets out a quiet whimper seeing her cry*

Kelle: I tried. You weren't responding. *She suddenly lets out a loud cry and John pulls her closer. She whimpers in response*

Israphel: *He frowns, both at John's response and Kelle* Fuck. I'm guesssing ssshe isssn't okay? Do you know how to calm her down?

Kelle: I'm not sure. She starts screaming whenever I set her down but if I hold her any closer than this, she'll still scream.

Israphel: Isss there anything I can do?

Kelle: Stay there and I can try to bring her over to you.

Israphel: *He nods, and he's quietly letting out a long hiss*

Kelle: *He picks Kelle up and she starts screaming halfway over to the bed, making John move faster the rest of the way there*

Israphel: *His hiss gets slightly louder when Kelle screams, but he attempts to quiet down when Kelle gets closer*

Kelle: *He tries to set Kelle down and she instantly starts screaming again, thrashing in his arms a bit*

Israphel: *He frowns, not knowing what to do but still taking her* Kelle, it'ss okay. Pleasse calm down.

Kelle: *She latches onto Israphel and whimpers, then yelping when she bumps her wrist*

Israphel: *He frowns* You need to be careful with that. But don't worry. You're ssafe now. No one'ss here to hurt you.

Kelle: *She starts crying again and latches onto him more with her good arm. Her left wrist has a bandage wrap and brace bound to it*

Israphel: *He glances at her hand and hugs her, but attempts to avoid her wrist* Sssssh. It'ss okay.

Kelle: *She calms down a little bit at feeling arms wrap around her but keeps on crying, mumbling incoherently to herself*

Israphel: *He sighs, not sure what to do* I'd try to tell you a nice sstory, but my sstories are all violent and horrible. Sso I'll talk about ssomething elsse. Like a book I jusst read. Do you like to read the bookss in the library?

Kelle: *She quiets down a tiny bit at hearing Israphel's voice and tries to snuggle up to him as close as she can get*

Israphel: I'd assssume you do. There are plenty of good bookss there. I tend to notice John readss a lot asss well. I once caught him reading the dictionary for the fourth time.

Kelle: Hey! *She calms down more as Israphel keeps talking and she tries to wrap herself around him, shaking a little*

Israphel: *He smiles* It'ss true. You read that thing religiousssly. I wouldn't be ssurprissed if you knew the whole thing. Every word.

Kelle: I'm not going to answer that question. *He sits on the couch. Kelle whimpers softly and wraps her legs around Israphel's, still scared*

Israphel: It'ss sso true. *He runs his hand through her hair, quietly purring*

Kelle: *She whimpers softly and hides her face against his chest, slowly starting to snap out of it and mumbling* Oh stop it.

Israphel: *He smirks and hugs her slightly tighter, still purring softly* Nah.

Kelle: *She whimpers again and has her arms and legs wrapped around him, slowly blinking her eyes open* Hhmmm?

Israphel: *He looks down at her* Hey Kelle.

Kelle: Huh, what? *She blinks her again and looks at him* How did I get here?

Israphel: You took a busss.

Kelle: I.....what? *She looks confused*

Israphel: It wass a joke.

Kelle: Oh...*She smiles and holds onto him tighter* What happened, Issy?

Israphel: I don't know.

Kelle: Did...did I have another flashback of some kind?

Israphel: Yeah, I think sso.

Kelle: I'm sorry. I woke you up, didn't I?

Israphel: No, you didn't.

Kelle: But I don't remember you being awake.

Israphel: I woke up mtsself.

Kelle: Oh okay. *She hugs him more and nuzzles him* I'm fine.

Israphel: Are you ssure?

Kelle: Y-Yes. *She hides her face a little again* I'm fine.

Israphel: *He doesn't really believe her, but doesn't say anything else*

Kelle: *She obviously tries to change the subject* Are you feeling better?

Israphel: Yeah, yeah, much better. *Lies*

Kelle: Do you? *She smiles a little*

Israphel: Yeah. *He half smiles*

Kelle: Good. *She snuggles into him* Oh, I nearly forgot!

Israphel: Oh?

Kelle: Mhm, turn over and look at the side table.

Israphel: *He frowns, but turns and looks anyway*

Kelle: *There's a plate with a decent sized sandwich with meat, lettuce, and cheese on it on the side table*

Israphel: Oh, iss that for you? Do you want it?

Kelle: *She shakes her head* I ate before I had my.....That's for you.

Israphel: Oh. uhm. Thank you, but, ah, I don't eat much.

Kelle: I know that but I thought you could eat something to help heal this. *She gently taps the side of his head*

Israphel: My head'ss fine.

Kelle: Issy please. It might help. I made that for you.

Israphel: But Kelle...

Kelle: But what? I'm worried about...*She winced when she moves her wrist*

Israphel: Oi, If anyone iss worried here, I sshould be worried about you, not the other way around.

Kelle: You don't need to worry about me. I'm fine. I don't want to be too bothersome.

Israphel: You're never too botherssome. Ever.

Kelle: You're just saying that.

Israphel: No I am not Kelle.

Kelle: *She looks down and doesn't say anything*

Israphel: Ssorry. I didn't mean..

Kelle: No, you're fine. You didn't do anything, Issy.

Israphel: I.. I uh.. Think it'ssss time for me to get ssssome ssssleep. My head isssn't feeling much better at all. In fact, I think it hurtsss a bit worssse.

Kelle: Sleep? Again?

Israphel: Like you ssssaid, I heal fassster and sssstuff.

Kelle: *She looks a little worried* Do you want me to wake you up later?

Israphel: That would be nice, If you can manage to do it. Apparently I ssssleep like a log.

Kelle: I can do that for you.

Israphel: Awessssome. Are you going to ssssleep too?

Kelle: I don't know if I want to sleep...nightmares.

Israphel: Ah. Maybe I sssshould sssstay up with you then.

Kelle: No, it's okay. You need the sleep. I'll be fine.

Israphel: No, no, I'll be fine.

Kelle: Issy please. I'll manage just fine. John is here.

Israphel: Are you ssssure?

Kelle: Yes, I'm sure. *She wraps her arms and legs around him more and hugs him* Get some sleep.

Israphel: *He sighs and closes his eyes* wake me up assss ssssoon assss you need me.

Kelle: I will. I promise. *She quickly kisses his cheek. Now go to sleep.

Israphel: *He huffs and closes his eyes, silently attempting to think of anything but his nightmares*

Kelle: *She nuzzles him and starts giving him a gentle belly rub*

Israphel: *His foot starts shaking/ tapping the air ( like a thumpy bunny foot thing), and he attempts to quickly stop that, opening one eye and glancing at Kelle. *

Kelle: *She doesn't notice his eyes open and keeps the belly rub going, having a tiny smile on her face*

Israphel: *He attempts to glare at her, but he ends up closing his eyes again and thumping his foot again*

Kelle: *She keeps going, being careful not to use her bad wrist at all and hoping this will help him fall asleep*

Israphel: *He starts to purr, smiling as he's falling asleep*

Kelle: *She kisses his cheek again and curls up, keeping the belly rubs going to help him stay asleep*

Cheddar: *She's not in the tent anymore and is hiding a few feet off the ground in a tree. She finally decides to call John, having cried all night and is still going*

Kelle: *Vitali is still out cold in the tent. John is busy in one of the labs at the castle and answers his com* Hello, Cheddar.

Cheddar: J-John? Do y-you have time to t-talk?

Kelle: I'm working on something to keep Kelle safer but yes, I can talk. What's wrong?

Cheddar: Uh... I did it a-again... *She whimpers and wipes her face*

Kelle: You did wh-....oh. *His voice goes a little quiet* Is everything alright? Are the three of you safe?

Cheddar: W-We're all safe.. But not o-okay... *She whimpers and curls up, pulling her knees to her chest*

Kelle: Talk to me, Cheddar. Tell me what happened.

Cheddar: Vitali... He... He said everything w-we did was a mistake... A-And called me a witch... T-Then tried to l-leave with Jack... *She whimpers more* He s-said he was blood hungry... But... *She whispers* I don't know if I believe him... I'm s-scared...

Kelle: That doesn't sound like something he would willingly do. Was he hissing?

Cheddar: *She whimpers in response*

Kelle: Cheddar, was he hissing? Did he drag out every "s" he said?

Cheddar: Yes... *She looks at the tent and whimpers again*

Kelle: Okay, one more thing. You took the horses with you, yes?

Cheddar: Yes... They're okay...

Kelle: Good. Did he try to drain either of the horses at all?

Cheddar: I t-think s-so...

Kelle: I think he was blood hungry. He can get rather harsh and cruel if he lets his hunger go for too long. That's how he was able to take down Skyhold. He didn't mean anything he said while he was like that.

Cheddar: *She whimpers, starting to cry again* I broke s-so m-many p-promises... I'm f-fucking s-stupid.

Kelle: You are not stupid. I can promise you that you aren't.

Cheddar: I am... I only know how to ruin everyone's life... I promised Vitali I wouldn't try to leave again... I b-broke it...

Kelle: You're not ruining anyone's life. What happened with you and Vitali was an accident. I think he probably feels bad enough about what happened. Don't be so hard on yourself.

Cheddar: I w-wish I wasn't s-so fucked up...

Kelle: You aren't. Don't even think that way. That won't help you feel better.

Cheddar: I don't g-get to feel better. *She pulls out her dagger quietly, holding it to her arm*

Kelle: Yes, you do. It's not your fault at all. Take your emotions out on something else if you need to. Please?

Cheddar: I've g-got an idea. *She starts to carve into her arm, carving the word "Witch" she finishes and moves to her stomach* I'm t-trying...

Kelle: Cheddar, I meant something other than yourself. Go find a deer. Do I need to come find you all?

Cheddar: No you don't I'm fine... J-Just carving into a tree... Just a tree.

Kelle: Are you sure? I don't mind coming over there. I'm not that busy.

Cheddar: I'm s-sure... P-Promise. *She looks down as soon as she says it* I'll be okay. *She starts to carve in 1cm letters, spelling out "two-faced"*

Kelle: *He pauses* Something tells me you're not being truthful with me.

Cheddar: *Her voice is strained this time* I'm. Fine. *She talks all at once* GottogonowJohn, Vitaliisawakethanksforth​ehelp. *She quickly hangs up and leans on the tree, letting herself bleed*

Kelle: *John frowns at his com and decides to go check on them later. Vitali's starting to wake up in the tent*

Cheddar: *She doesn't move, slowly starting to fall off the branch*

Kelle: *He starts to wake up, not noticing Cheddar isnt there yet*

Cheddar: *She drops off the branch with a loud thud, landing in a heap*

Kelle: *He hears the thud, sees she's not there, and runs out of the tent*

Cheddar: *She's lying on the floor groaning and starting to pass out*

Kelle: *He rushes over to her* Cheddar!

Cheddar: *She doesn't move looking at him and whimpering*

Kelle: *He crouches down next to her and smells the blood* What did you do?

Cheddar: Made... Myself... Better... *She smiles and closes her eyes*

Kelle: No...why did you do this again?!

Cheddar: *She doesn't answer him, he can probably see "witch" carved into her wrist*

Kelle: *He shuts his eyes and sighs* Why? I didn't mean any of that...

Cheddar: It's true... I... It... True... *She trails off, shivering already*

Kelle: No, it's not. *He scoops her up, gingerly moving about and brings her to the stream*

Cheddar: *She keeps shivering and starts mumbling randomly*

Kelle: *He starts to wash the wound out with cold water*

Cheddar: *She hisses slightly and tries to move away*

Kelle: Cheddar, please. I'm trying to help you. *He keeps watching out the wound*

Cheddar: *She whimpers and doesn't move. shaking*

Kelle: It's okay, love. Don't worry. *He cleans out the wound and searches for the other one he can smell*

Cheddar: *The other is on her stomach and it says "two-faced"*

Kelle: *He frowns at it and sighs, going to clean that one out as well*

Cheddar: *She yelps when he touches it and starts crying*

Kelle: It's okay, love. Please don't cry.

Cheddar: *She doesn't stop, whimpering as she does*

Kelle: *He quickly cleans it out and scoops her up again* It's okay. We're going back to the tent.

Cheddar: *She whimpers loudly and lets him carry her, shaking*

Kelle: *He sets her down right outside the tent* I'm going to bandage those up now.

Cheddar: *She whimpers loudly and nods, shaking more* C-Cold...

Kelle: Here. *He quickly wraps a blanket around her*

Cheddar: *She lies there for a while and whines again* T-Too hot...

Kelle: Do you want a lighter blanket?

Cheddar: T-Too h-hot...

Kelle: Alright. *He pulls the blanket off of her and keeps a wing around her, quickly bandaging the wounds*

Cheddar: *She whimpers* V-Vitali... I t-think John's c-coming...

Kelle: Is he? How do you know?

Cheddar: I c-callied him to t-talk to him... *She starts shuddering again and whimpering*

Kelle: Okay...deep breaths. Tell me what he said.

Cheddar: Take emotions out on s-something... So I p-picked me...

Kelle: What? Why in the hell would you do that?

Cheddar: *Her voice cracks when she speaks* I do-n't kno-w... *She starts crying again*

Kelle: It's okay. *He pulls her close with his wing* I'm here.

Cheddar: *She doesn't stop crying, shaking and seizing occassionally. Darling neighs from outside and stamps her foot, just outside the tent*

Kelle: Quiet Darling. *He kisses her forehead and hums softly*

Cheddar: *Darling stomps again, whinnying at him. She sticks her head in the tent and snorts*

Kelle: What is it? I'm trying to calm Cheddar down.

Cheddar: *She whinnies and backs out, wanting him to follow*

Kelle: Cheddar, can we go outside for a minute?

Cheddar: Y-You go... I'm t-tired a-and c-cold... *She whimpers and Darling neighs loudly*

Kelle: Here. *He hands her the blankets* Pick one and curl up in it. Please?

Cheddar: *She nods and waves him off, Darling is getting louder*

Kelle: I love you. *He kisses her forehead and backs out of the tent* What is it?

Cheddar: *Darling looks over to the far side of the field and neighs. On the far side of the field there is someone stood there*

Kelle: *He sees them and instantly keeps his wings hidden in his jacket, going straight to where Jack is sleeping and keeping quiet*

Cheddar: *Darling watches the figure and neighs again when they start to slowly walk towards the tent*

Kelle: *He quickly puts the saddle bags on Darling and slips Jack into it* Darling, you and Discord keep him safe!

Cheddar: *Darling nods and trots over to Discord with Jack, keeping Jack between them*

Cheddar: *The figure stops on the opposite side of the stream and watches them*

Kelle: *Discord keeps near Darling and nickers at her. He looks toward the figure and starts to walk to the tent*

Cheddar: *The figure walks towards him again. Darling nuzzles Discord and keeps her eyes on Jack*

Kelle: *He walks to the tent entrance and whispers so Cheddar can hear him* Get your knives. There's someone here.

Cheddar: *She shakes and looks up weakly, whimpering and fumbling for her knives, holding them out shakily. The figure walks over a little further and stops a few feet away, they're wearing a cloak so they can't be seen properly*

Kelle: *He reaches into his pocket and grips a dagger* Whoever you are, get out. You're not welcomed here.

Cheddar: *They pull their hood off and frowns at him. The person under the hood doesn't even look like a human, but they're definitely human* Uh, this was my home first!

Kelle: *He frowns and keeps his hand in his jacket* Who the hell are you?

Cheddar: Why do you need to know? All I know is I was here first and you've just invaded.

Kelle: There was no trace of anyone living here when we got here. Nice try.

Cheddar: *They point up at the canopy* I live up there. What's in the tent?

Kelle: That's none of your concern.

Cheddar: Fine. Who's in the tent?

Kelle: That's none of your concern either.

Cheddar: *They roll their eyes and take a few steps forward*

Kelle: You aren't going in there. *He stands in the way*

Cheddar: *They move him out of the way and smiles* Thanks. *They stick their head in the tent. Cheddar's dropped her knife and is curled up shaking*

Kelle: I said stay out of there! *He gets in his way again and pushes him back* Are you deaf?!

Cheddar: Is that... Is that Ebony?! What did you do to her?!

Kelle: *He frowns* She's my girlfriend! Now I'll ask you again: who are you?!

Cheddar: I asked what you did to her! Why's she shaking like that?

Kelle: Gee I don't know. Maybe the fact that a complete stranger waltzed into the camp? She's scared genius!

Cheddar: *He frowns* She didn't even see me. Also I'm a past boyfriend. Now did you hurt her?

Kelle: No I didn't. She did that to herself.

Cheddar: *He frowns and stares at him*

Kelle: I'm not lying. She has a habit of doing that when she thinks she did something wrong. Now beat it.

Cheddar: No, not until I know she's okay.

Kelle: I don't trust you. *He goes back to looking after Cheddar*

Cheddar: *He sits outside the tent and waits. Cheddar starts to shake uncontrollably and starts sobbing*

Kelle: *He goes back to her and pulls her close* It's okay, love. I'm here.

Cheddar: *She buries her face into his chest and keeps sobbing. The guy outside is slowly edging over to the horses*

Kelle: *He keeps holding her close and hears the guy outside move* Stay right where you are. Don't even think of stealing the horses. I can hear you moving.

Cheddar: *He groans* I just wanna see theeeeem! *Cheddar looks up a little and frowns, shaking more*

Kelle: No. Go and sit by the stream and stay away from the horses. *He runs his hands through her hair*

Cheddar: *Cheddar whispers to Vitali* H-He has t-to go... *She wipes her face and whimpers. The dude groans walks away from the tent to the stream*

Kelle: *He whispers back to her* Is he dangerous?

Cheddar: H-He used to hurt m-me... A l-lot... *She whimpers and shakes, crying again*

Israphel: *He's mumbling to himself* I'm not always falling, you no good brain eater..

Kelle: Alright, Kelle. I'll be right down. And I heard that, Israphel!

Kelle: What do you mean by that? Was he like Richard?

Israphel: *He speaks a but louder* Good!

Cheddar: *She nods and whimpers loudly*

Kelle: *She giggles and John laughs on the other end*

Kelle: *He growls softly* How bad? And why does he look inhuman?

Cheddar: I a-almost died o-once... *She whimpers* H-He didn't l-look like that w-when I knew h-him.

Kelle: *He sighs* I think it's time we left, love. I don't trust this man at all. Start packing our things. We'll just say we were on a trip and it's over so we're going home. Does that sound good?

Cheddar: *She nods, shakily starting to pack up her things*

Israphel: *he rolls his eyes again at them laughing*

Kelle: Be ready to grab the horses. *He stays where she's within his sight and starts packing everything, saddling up the horses*

Kelle: Oh stop, Issy. *She flicks a bread crumb at him*

Israphel: Oi, no playing with your food.

Cheddar: *The guy turns around and sees Cheddar taking the tent down* Hey? Ebony, where you going? *He moves over to Cheddar and she visably flinches, backing up a little*

Kelle: *She flicks another crumb at him and smirks*

Kelle: We're going home. We were on a little vacation and it ended today. You can have your grove back. *He has the horses all ready and rounds up the rest of their things, putting them in Discord's saddle bags*

Cheddar: *Cheddar's gets up shakily and leans on darling, she looks at Jack and Budderball in the saddle bag and smiles weakly. The guy frowns and stares at Vitali* That's not your choice to make. Ebony, do you want to leave? *Cheddar hides behind Darling's neck*

Israphel: *He smirks* Excuse me, missy.

Kelle: *He whispers to Cheddar and hands her Discord's reins* Get on Darling and be ready to run. *He turns back to the guy* We planned this trip out a month ago. It was her decision to leave for home today.

Kelle: Excuse what? *She gives him an innocent smile* I'm not doing anything. *She wads up one of her napkins and tosses it at him*

Israphel: *He catches the napkin, quickly throwing it back at her*

Cheddar: *She struggles onto Darling and clings to her, whimpering and resting on Darling's neck. The guy growls* But she wants to stay with me. Clearly, look at her. You're scaring her! Ebony come on!

Kelle: No, I think your sudden appearance is scaring her, not to mention the fact she had a scare during the night. We're going home. End of story. *He climbs onto Discord and does his best to shield her and Jack from him*

Kelle: *She catches it and throws it back, having it bounce off his head* Oops.

Cheddar: *He frowns and starts to walk towards them, Cheddar whimpers* G-Gotta go... G-Gotta...

Kelle: *He takes Discord reins, then grabs Darling's and kicks Discord into a gallop*

Israphel: *He grins, leaning down (Slowly) and picking it up, throwing it at her forehead* Oops.

Cheddar: *Darling follows behind him and Cheddar just clings to Darling, sobbing loudly. The guy chases behind them and struggles to keep up*

Kelle: *She squeals and wads up another napkin, throwing it at him*

Kelle: *He kicks Discord into a full run and races toward the portal* Cheddar, hang on! I'm getting us back.

Israphel: *He dodges this one, letting it land behind him* Are you really starting this?

Kelle: Starting what? A napkin war?

Cheddar: *She keeps crying, still shaking and whimpering. The guy has disappeared now and can't keep up with them*

Kelle: *He keeps Discord at a full run until they get through the portal, then he hops off the saddle and shuts the portal off* There. He can't follow.

Israphel: If that's what you'd like to call it.

Cheddar: *Cheddar's shaking and sobbing, she retches a little and coughs*

Kelle: Okay then. *She grabs the fallen napkin wad and throws it at his head* I declared napkin war.

Kelle: *He goes straight to her and pulls her into a hug* It's okay. He's gone now. He's not here.

Israphel: *He grins, grabbing the napkin and launching it at her*

Cheddar: *She retches again, still shaking* H-Home...

Kelle: *She starts wadding up more napkins and throws a few at him, squealing*

Kelle: We're home now. It's okay. *He rubs her back*

Cheddar: *Sh whimpers and lies on Darling. Darling starts to head to the castle, slowly walking*

Kelle: *He grabs Discord's reigns and walks beside Darling* Cheddar, he's gone now.

Cheddar: I f-feel sick...

Kelle: I know. Just stay with Darling while I get them back in the stables.

Israphel: *He laughs, catching some of them and throwing them back*

Cheddar: *She's struggling to stop whimpering and crying*

Kelle: *She furiously starts throwing the napkins at him, squealing the whole time. John is standing in the hallway, silently watching*

Kelle: *He quickly takes everything off of Discord and puts him in his stall, starting to do the same with Darling* You need to get down, love.

Cheddar: *She slides off and just lands roughly on the floor, whiimpering*

Kelle: *He quickly pulls everything off of Darling and lets her go into the stall on her own, being careful with Jack and Budderball*

Israphel: *He doesn't notice John, attempting to block some napkins and catch /and/ throw them at the same time, mainly just blocking them with his arm and throwing one or two after they hit him*

Kelle: *She squeals as one hits her forehead, giggling the whole time. John moves in the door way and keeps watching*

Cheddar: *Cheddar whimpers as Darling walks in, she struggles to her feet. Jack squeaks and holds Budderball*

Kelle: *He leaves the stall open and brings Jack and Budderball over to Cheddar* Don't get up just yet. Rest for right now.

Cheddar: *She slumps back down, whimpering loudly* S-Sorry...

Israphel: *He still hasn't noticed John, completely focused on the napkin battle* Give up already! I'm totally winning.

Kelle: No, you're not. I am! *She tosses a napkin at his nose*

Kelle: Don't apologize. That wasn't your fault.

Cheddar: I h-hurt myself... *She starts to cry again*

Israphel: *The napkin hits him, and while he shakes it off he notices John, but acts as if he didn't, grinning and shaking his head* Nope, I am! *He tosses a few more napkins at Kelle*

Kelle: It's okay. I just wanted to get you out of there. I don't like that man.

Kelle: *She squeals as they all hit her. She grabs another napkin, walks right up to him, and bounces it off his head* I won.

Cheddar: *She whimpers and curls up on the foor, whimpering*

Israphel: *He chuckles* I suppose you did. *He pauses and waits a few seconds before turning and throwing a few napkins at John*

Kelle: *He lays down next to her and pulls her close, starting to sing her song*

Kelle: *John arches an eyebrow at him* Oh don't drag me into this war.

Israphel: *He chuckles and throws one more* You'd lose anyway.

Kelle: Oh would I? *He catches the napkin and tosses it back*

Israphel: *He grins, the napkin hitting him* Yeah, you would. *He throws another one at him*

Kelle: Careful or I'll get this wet and then throw it at you. *He catches the napkin again*

Israphel: Oi,I thought you didn't want to join the napkin battle.

Kelle: I was neutral until you threw these at me. *He walks over to the sink*

Cheddar: *She whimpers and continues to shake, unable to stop herself*

Kelle: *He keeps singing her song, running a hand through her hair and holding her close with his wings*

Israphel: *He slightly walks closer to the table* Oi, let's not get hasty now.

Cheddar: *She buries her face into his neck, still shaking a little. Darling puts her head over Discord's stall wall and grooms his mane. Jack and Budderball curl up and go to sleep*

Kelle: *She nudges him to sit down in the chair. John stops by the sink* Are you forfeiting?

Kelle: *He keeps singing her song all the way through. Discord nickers softly* I'm not going to let him hurt you. I'll kill him like I killed Richard if I have to.

Israphel: Mmmmhmmm. *He sits and stares at him for a few seconds, before picking up a wad of napkins from the table, rapidly throwing them at him*

Cheddar: *Darling keeps grooming Discord, whinnying quietly every so often. Cheddar whimpers and shakes a little* T-Tell me a story? P-Please?

Kelle: *John blinks at him, then smirks and gets a few of the napkins wet* You asked for it. *He throws one at him*

Kelle: Of course. What would you like to hear? *Discord nickers again*

Cheddar: Uh... C-Can y-you tell me w-what you thought when you f-first met me? Honestly?

Israphel: *The napkin hits him and he grins, throwing a few more napkins, putting on his best movie villain voice * Did you really think that could stop me?

Kelle: Sure. I thought you looked cute and I liked your spunk. I still do.

Cheddar: *She giggles* Spunk means something totally different to me.

Kelle: *She can't react before the napkin hits her square on her forehead and she overly yelps, playing along* There. I found your weakness.

Kelle: Ah....no. I haven't and that is not what I meant.

Cheddar: Doesn't it mean like... I don't know.

Kelle: *He chuckles* Attitude, spirit, pizzaz.

Cheddar: You can't say pizzaz without jazz hands. *She smiles*

Kelle: *He laughs* Oh good lord. Now that is corny but I love it.

Cheddar: *She smiles* So why did you think I was spunky? I know I'm cute, but why spunky?

Kelle: I don't know. You don't seem to take stupid shit from other people. I like that.

Cheddar: Wasn't I super hyper on sugar the first time we actually met?

Kelle: We met before then. Remember the log cabins?

Cheddar: *She furrows her brow in thought* I'm not sure I remember that well...

Kelle: That was when Kelle broke my wing. You happened to be stopping by to visit her and you helped me splint it.

Cheddar: Oh yeah... You were adorble all broken and whiny. *She giggles* Well until you snapped at me.

Kelle: I wasn't whiny and I'm sorry I snapped at you then.

Cheddar: You're forgiven and you were whiny. "It hurts Cheddar!" "Are you done yet?" "This is uncomfortable." Pouty face. *She giggles*

Kelle: I didn't say that. I wasn't /that/ whiny. Was I?

Cheddar: *She nods* You were. And that's when I fell for you. Theres something about people who are tough being all whiny that gets me. *She smiles*

Kelle: *He chuckles* So my whining made you fall for me. Maybe I should whine more often.

Cheddar: *She smiles* Then when you were helping me on my sugar high, that was cute. Because you didn't seem like the person to care like that. I think you helped when I ran into a tree. *She giggles*

Kelle: *He frowns* I don't remember you running into a tree.

Cheddar: I ran into a tree and fell backwards. And you were like, "You're going to bed." *She smiles* This was when I lived at SipsCo... I haven't heard from Sips in a while.

Kelle: *He chuckles softly* Now I remember that. You and your sugar. At least you can't get on a sugar high anymore

Cheddar: *She huffs* But blood happy could work? I mean I can get horny, I can surely get hyper.

Kelle: Blood happy is about the same. You get so horny when you're like that.

Cheddar: *She grins* Maybe I'll get blood happy for you soon, see how that turns out for you..

Kelle: Are you serious?

Cheddar: Yeah, why not?

Kelle: *He chuckles again* Maybe we can have a "drunk" evening.....with sex.

Cheddar: *She smirks* Maybe. *She smiles*

Kelle: How about a yes?

Cheddar: *She nods and smiles, her shaking has stopped now. She smiles* Can you tell me another story? I love them. *She purrs*

Kelle: What would you like to hear love?

Cheddar: I don't know. Uh... Surprise me.

Kelle: Let me see.....I could tell you about the time my father and I were hunting and he nearly caused a small deer herd to stampede.

Cheddar: Okay,

Cheddar: that sounds good.

Kelle: *He nods and smiles* I was twelve at the time. It was around September and my father wanted to take me out hunting before the season changed.

Cheddar: *She nods, watching him closely*

Kelle: We found a set of deer tracks and ended up tracking this deer for two hours, straight to this herd in a meadow. I think there was about....13 deer.

Cheddar: Unlucky for some. *She giggles*

Kelle: *He chuckles and continues* My father had a hunting rifle and I had a smaller, less dangerous one. He started to take aim at this huge buck and I wasn't paying attention to where I was putting my hands.

Cheddar: Oh god...

Kelle: I ended up sticking my hand right into a raccoon's head. The thing hissed at me and I...uh...I screamed right before my father fired the rifle.

Cheddar: You screamed at a raccoon?! *She starts laughing*

Kelle: I was twelve and that raccoon happened to be huge. You would have screamed too.

Israphel: *He speaks very dramatically, making wild hand gestures* Noooooooo! My only weakness! Light, fading! Energy, depleting! I will be back, I tell you! I shall be back! *He makes a "bleh" like noise, falling limp in the chair, whispering "I'm dead now"*

Kelle: *She lets out a dramatic sob and hugs Israphel, throwing a bit of bread crust at John* And I'm out! Not the bread crust!

Cheddar: No I wouldn't. At twelve I took down a buck. *She grins*

Israphel: *He laughs at John's reaction, then pauses* Oh wait, I'm dead.

Kelle: I put my hand right by its face. It terrified me, Cheddar.

Kelle: *She throws another bit of bread crust at John and he throws his hands up in the air* I give in. You win.

Cheddar: *She giggles* Little baby Vitali sounds adorable. Anyway, carry on.

Israphel: *He throws his hands in the air* Weeeew! We won!

Kelle: *He rolls his eyes* So...I screamed at the raccoon, then my father fired the rifle and all of that terrified the deer. They started running right at us.

Cheddar: Oh my god.

Kelle: *She cheers and hugs Israphel* The triumphant return!

Israphel: Huzzah! *He points at John* Told you!

Kelle: They ran right at us. I screamed again and my father had us run to a fallen tree. We hid underneath it as the deer ran past. We never got that buck.

Cheddar: *She laughs* How mad was he?

Kelle: *She cheers more and kisses his cheek* We won!

Kelle: He wasn't that angry. He found the whole situation funny.

Cheddar: Was it because you screamed like a little girl?

Kelle: I think so. The raccoon ran past me after the deer were gone.

Israphel: *He chuckles* Now. We did call John down for a reason.

Cheddar: *She giggles* That sounds amazing.

Kelle: I would hope so, unless you just wanted to assault me with napkins.

Kelle: I was so embarrassed. I went straight to my room after we got home and didn't come out until well after dinner.

Israphel: Well, that was an added bonus.

Kelle: So why did you call me down here? *He walks over to them*

Cheddar: Aaaaw baby... Aaaw. *She nuzzles him and kisses him a little* It's okay.

Kelle: Oh stop it. I was twelve, remember?

Cheddar: *She grins, looking proud* At twelve, I could shoot a bow better than anyone in town and three towns over.

Israphel: Well, Kelle's been curious of our pasts.

Kelle: I was still going to school at twelve, mainly to be a skylord.

Kelle: Is she? I thought you mentioned that at some point. *She smiles a little*

Cheddar: I didn't go too much. I'd bunk off and just like drink.

Kelle: At....twelve?

Cheddar: Yeah... I got into a bad group. And someone brought alcohol one day and I was hooked.

Kelle: *He looks confused* At....twelve you were in a gang?

Israphel: So, how about you? I'm not telling her anything.

Cheddar: Yeah.

Kelle: I'll tell her a story if...you tell her one.

Kelle: How long were you with them?

Cheddar: Uh... Like a year. It was only that short because dad found out I was drinking and forbid me to see them.

Kelle: Your dad did a good job then.

Israphel: Pah! I'm not telling her anything.

Cheddar: Mhm. He loved me a lot. But that's what I was doing at twelve

Kelle: And why not? I don't see the reason why you can't.

Kelle: He sounds like he was a good man. I'm sorry I never got to meet him.

Cheddar: It's fine... *She smiles* I'll take you to them one day.

Israphel: Because it's your story time, not mine.

Kelle: Take me to them? What do you mean?

Kelle: Oh fine. *He sighs and sits at the table* What did she want to hear?

Cheddar: Their graves, where they're buried.

Kelle: Where is it?

Cheddar: Uh... A few towns over.

Kelle: We can go there once the weather gets nicer.

Israphel: Kelle, would you mind asking him yourself?

Cheddar: Mmm. That sounds nice. *She kisses him and smiles*

Kelle: *He looks at her* Issy brought up the time he turned you into....you know. He won't tell me the story.

Israphel: *He chuckles, knowing she was going to avoid saying the word*

Kelle: *He chuckles* Why won't he tell you the story? He tells it much better than I do. I don't remember most of what happened that day.

Israphel: Because you died. And I was trying to be nice. Letting you tell the story of how you fought the heroes with a bloody map.

Kelle: That was after you turned me. Remember?

Israphel: I know, but I was hoping that would be included. You know, because it was the death of any of your reputation in the castle.

Kelle: *John rolls his eyes* That day was not the death of my reputation.

Israphel: Do you know how long minions talked about you?

Kelle: It wasn't that long. You're exaggerating.

Israphel: It was very long.

Kelle: It wasn't that long, just a few...weeks.

Israphel: *He snickers*

Kelle: Was it a few weeks? *John sighs and rubs his forehead* Possibly, yes.

Israphel: A bit more.

Kelle: It was around three weeks, Israphel.

Israphel: Suuuure.

Kelle: I'll throw a napkin at you.

Israphel: I've already won once.

Kelle: It wasn't as embarrassing as Israphel is saying it was.

Israphel: You didn't hear what people were saying.

Kelle: Oh really? What were they saying?

Israphel: Well, that's a secret.

Kelle: But doesn't Kelle want to know? *She giggles at John*

Israphel: Kelle wants to know about you dying, remember? Or well, undying.

Kelle: I guess I have to tell her. Part of it or the whole thing, Kelle? *She shrugs*

Israphel: You simply must tell the whole thing.

Kelle: Fine. *He gets up to get himself a drink* Where should I start?

Israphel: *He mumbles* The beginning is usually a good place.

Kelle: Alright. *He sighs a little* It happened in a different hall then this one. I don't think you've been there yet. Has she?

Israphel: Nope.

Kelle: So it happened in a different hallway. It's not a very nice process and this one here was a bit of an ass that day.

Israphel: *He grins, almost kind of scarily, thinking back to the day. He blinks and his eyes flick red* Only for you, sssweetie. *He blinks again and they're back to normal, and he attempts to hide the fact he's proud he was able to shut it off in one attempt*

Kelle: *She blinks at Israphel* What was that you just did?

Israphel: What was what?

Kelle: Your eyes went even more red and you hissed.

Israphel: *He smirks* It added to the vibe of the story.

Kelle: Did you do that?

Israphel: Mmmm.

Kelle: So what happened? *John finds his drink and walks over to them* Well it involves a ritual, an ancient language no one speaks anymore, and a potion.

Israphel: I do love lost languages.

Kelle: You know an ancient language?

Israphel: Of course.

Kelle: Can I hear it? Please?

Israphel: It doesn't sound pretty.

Kelle: I still would like to hear it. Please? *She pouts at him* Go ahead and show her, Israphel.

Israphel: Gwc'zm twwsqvo twdmtg bwlig, Smttm. [[Gu-wuc'zayem teh-wuh-huh-seh-quv-oh teh-wu-dehm-teg buh-wul-ig, sum-teh-heh-um.]]

Kelle: *She blinks at him* What in the....what did you say?

Israphel: You're looking lovely today, Kelle. *He smiles* The language is fantastic, isn't it?

Kelle: *She blushes a little bit* It sounded like you were angry.

Israphel: It is not a happy language.

Kelle: I can tell. So did you have to speak that during this...ritual? *John takes a drink and nods*

Israphel: *He nods as well* yep.

Kelle: What did you say during this ritual? *John shrugs and gestures at Israphel* Ask him.

Israphel: Stuff.

Kelle: Stuff?

Israphel: Stuff.

Kelle: Can I know the stuff?

Israphel: Nope

Kelle: Why not?

Israphel: Can't have you knowing too much.

Kelle: What in the world am I going to use it for?

Israphel: Who knows? you might turn on me.

Kelle: Turn on you?

Israphel: Yeah. Go against me and all that jazz.

Kelle: Why would I do that?

Israphel: I don't know.

Kelle: Issy, I wouldn't do that. You know I wouldn't.

Israphel: I have heard that before, Kelle. I can never be too careful.

Kelle: I wouldn't. *She doesn't look all that happy anymore* How about I continue the story?

Israphel: Okay!*He's glad for the topic change*

Kelle: Anyway, he started the ritual, became an ass, spoke that ancient language, and brought this potion out. Luckily, you can't get to it.

Israphel: *He kicks his feet up, putting them on the table as he listens*

Kelle: Guess what the potion does, Kelle? *She looks between them* Uh....it turns you into this? *She points at John's jaw*

Israphel: *He smirks again, slightly nodding*

Kelle: It does do that and it's labeled the last time I saw it. So don't touch it if you ever see it. Alright? *She nods slowly*

Israphel: Especially don't drink it. It's used as an intense torture weapon without the ritual.

Kelle: What does it do to you without the ritual? I'm just curious.

Israphel: Well, the ritual is what allows your body to maintain in a certain state of death. So, without it, the vial will very slowly kill you, but you won't die. You will decompose into nothing but bone, and yet you will still feel it all. It is completely impossible, and yet it works. Only preforming the ritual will allow the pain to stop, and, if your body cannot be maintained as a vessel, you will respawn. As a zombie, of course. *He pauses* If that makes sense.

Kelle: Maintained as a vessel? What does that mean? *John chuckles at her confused expression*

Israphel: Look at John. He still has arms and legs, a way to see-- He can function as if he were human. I did let him off a bit easy, for vessels could easily be stuck with no arms or legs... *He shakes his head, noticing he's gone off topic* Basically, in order to pilot your now dead soul, you need a proper ship.

Kelle: I still don't get it, Issy.

Israphel: *He huffs.* Okay. The vial makes everything inside you decompose, but it doesn't let you die. The ritual part makes it so your body will stop decomposing after a certain amount of time. Do you get that?

Kelle: *She nods* Yes, that part makes sense.

Israphel: Without the ritual part, your body will simply continue to decompose. But the vial prevents you from dying.

Kelle: *She nods again* Okay, that makes more sense now.

Israphel: So that's why you shouldn't drink it.

Kelle: Okay, because it would kill me.

Israphel: *He sighs* Close enough.

Kelle: What? I'm right, aren't I?

Israphel: That's the thing. You wouldn't die.

Kelle: But I thought you said it decomposes you down to nothing without the ritual?

Israphel: It does. This vial is completely impossible.It is why it is the most intense torture there is.

Kelle: Do you still use it? *John gives Israphel a small look*

Israphel: *There is a pause* Yes. I do.

Kelle: Ouch, I would hate to be that person.

Israphel: *he smiles, glad she didn't have a very bad reaction* Yeah.

Kelle: *She nods slowly* What else happened?

Israphel: *He glances at John*

Kelle: He gave me the potion and I ended up respawning after a while. There's not much to tell at that point.

Israphel: *He slightly turns his gaze to the floor*

Kelle: *She notices Israphel look away* What's wrong?

Israphel: Nothing. Zombie-fying is just ... gross.

Kelle: John doesn't look that bad. Right? *John ruffles her hair* Thanks for the compliment, kiddo.

Israphel: *He smiles at John*

Kelle: Stop! That's my hair! *She squeals at her hair being ruffled and John smirks* Really? I thought this was Israphel's wig.

Israphel: *He rolls his eyes, smiling* /Wow/, John.

Kelle: What? At least I have a mostly full head of hair. I didn't lose that like ZB did.

Israphel: You're vvery mean today.

Kelle: *He chuckles at him* So.....did anything else happen, Issy?

Israphel: What do you mean?

Kelle: I mean with John's story. Did anything else happen?

Israphel: Nah, that's about it.

Kelle: Really? Then what was with the "people were talking about it for weeks" bit?

Israphel: Just a liitle bit.

Kelle: So that was it? The whole story. *John nods at her* Pretty much.

Israphel: Mmmm.

Kelle: What about the other story? *John pauses from taking a drink* Ah...no.

Israphel: No?

Kelle: That one is the one that's embarrassing. So yes, it's a no.

Israphel: *He laughs* Come on!

Kelle: No. I made a fool of myself in front of a pair of bumbling idiots.

Israphel: Coomee oooooon!

Kelle: Do I even have a choice here? *Kelle starts pouting at John* I guess not.

Israphel: *He grins*

Kelle: Does it? I'll go if it's okay with you.

Cheddar: It's perfectly fine with me. *She smiles* You have to be nice though. They can still hear you.

Kelle: *He chuckles* You really think they can see us?

Cheddar: Yes, I do. *She frowns a little*

Kelle: I'm not saying anything bad about that. I think that's true to some extent.

Cheddar: Really?

Kelle: Why not? I don't find the idea that far fetched.

Cheddar: *She smiles* Do you think our parents are watching us right now? Like, checking on us?

Kelle: I like to think they are. *He sighs* I would hope they aren't angry with me and my choices.

Cheddar: I think you made a lot of good choices. *She smiles* You're parenting skills are one of them.

Kelle: *He smiles a little* Thanks but I know they wouldn't be happy with my current job.

Cheddar: But other things outway that. Do you believe me or do you want a list?

Kelle: I sort of believe you. I don't know.

Cheddar: Right. I'm going to list them, you brought this on yourself. You're adroable. You love me even though I'm a tit. You helped me when I was going to get hurt, multiple times. You've never stopped loving me. You saved Chrissi from Richard. You then proceeded to introduce her to Tom. You didn't leave me when you found out I was pregnant. You didn't make me get rid of the baby. You didn't stop trying when Jack wasn't breathing. You love Jack so much. You helped me when Sam died. You got me a horse. You got everyone else a horse. You built a place for them. You stick us for Discord when he's an ass. You got Budderball for me. You helped protect Kelle from Matt. You got a child back from Matt. You killed him a few times because he was a risk to us. Also you're beautiful. *She smiles*

Kelle: *He smiles again* That's just me being nice to the people I care about.

Cheddar: And thats why you're job doesn't matter to all that.

Kelle: You still don't know some of the horrible things I've done while I've been with Israphel.

Cheddar: You don't know some of the horrible things I've done to live.

Kelle: Like what?

Cheddar: Like things I don't know if I want to tell you yet.

Kelle: Are they that bad?

Cheddar: Yeah.

Kelle: You don't have to tell me until you're ready. It's okay.

Cheddar: *She nods* Same for you baby.

Kelle: *He nods slowly* So are you feeling better?

Cheddar: Yes, thank you baby. I love you.

Kelle: I know. But are you sure? I can bring you some tea if you want.

Cheddar: If I say no, do I get tea? *She smiles*

Kelle: What do you mean if I say no?

Cheddar: If I say I'm not okay.

Kelle: I'll get you tea regardless of that. You still need it.

Cheddar: I'm okay but can I have tea? And... Cake?

Kelle: *He chuckles* Of course you can. I'll go get it and be back in a few minutes.

Cheddar: *She nods* Okay, be quick. *She smiles*

Kelle: *She's awake in the still very pink bedroom, busying herself with quietly organizing her dresser while Israphel is out*

Matt: *He teleports in and is silent for a while before speaking up* I always loved the colour pink.

Kelle: I will. Visit with the other horses while I'm gone. *He jumps to his feet and quickly walks out*

Cheddar: *She watches him, starting to whimper and whine when he dissapears*

Kelle: *She tenses up and jumps in surprise, quickly grabbing a small knife that she's started carrying in her pocket*

Matt: Aaaaw, that's adorable.

Kelle: *Discord hangs his head out of his stall and nickers at her*

Kelle: *She grips the knife tightly in her hand, slamming the dresser drawer shut* What are you doing here?

Cheddar: *She looks at him and smiles, struggling to stop*

Matt: Well... I guess I can't speak to you alone anymore.

Kelle: *Discord tilts his head at her and Kelle's horse whinnies softly at her*

Kelle: I would rather you didn't speak to me at all. How about you get out of my room?

Cheddar: *She throws apples in both their stalls and curls up, whimpering*

Matt: I just wanna talk.

Kelle: *Discord ignores the apples and brings his head down to her, nuzzling her shoulder*

Kelle: Well I don't want to talk to you. I'm busy.

Cheddar: *She strokes his muzzle* Why do you suddenly like me? *She sighs* I don't deserve to have you like me.

Matt: With what, maybe I could help?

Kelle: *He nickers and gently blows warm air out of his nose at her*

Kelle: No. I would prefer you didn't dig through my clothes.

Kelle: ((she's got the two necklaces israphel gave her back on again))

Cheddar: *She smiles and kisses his muzzle*

Matt: *He notices the necklaces and reaches out for them* They're nice.

Kelle: *Discord nickers at her again and blows air at her more*

Cheddar: *She giggles* Quit it!

Kelle: *She sees where he's looking and instantly puts the necklaces beneath her shirt* Don't touch them.

Kelle: *He blows more air and nibbles her neck with his lips*

Matt: *He moves closer to her and grabs them, pulling them back out*

Cheddar: Hey! *She laughs* That tickles!

Kelle: I said no! *She roughly slaps his hand away and backs away from him*

Kelle: *He nickers and keeps nibbling at her cheek*

Matt: *He looks at her and frowns a little* I just wanted to see.

Cheddar: *She tries to stop him and giggles8

Kelle: Well I said no. They're not yours and I didn't give you permission.

Matt: But you're mine so I do't need it.

Matt: ((*don't))

Kelle: *He whinnies softly and licks her cheek, trying to get a piece of hay off of her*

Kelle: *She glares at him* What did you just say?

Cheddar: *She giggles more and squeaks* Discord!

Matt: I said you're mine.

Kelle: *He keeps licking her, making the piece of hay harder to reach*

Kelle: No, I'm not. I don't belong to anyone but myself.

Cheddar: *She laughs and lies in the floor, trying to get away from him*

Matt: *He chuckles* Aaaaw you think you have a choice, that's adorable.

Kelle: *He finds the piece of hay and licks it off of her, noisily chewing on it*

Kelle: I do have a choice. I'm not going to become your plaything.

Cheddar: *She looks up at him and wipes her face, sighing* Of course it was hay...

Matt: *He laughs* Too late.

Kelle: *Discord bops his head and starts grooming her hair*

Kelle: Go to hell, Matt. I'm not your plaything and I never will be.

Cheddar: *She lets him, whimpering for Vitali*

Matt: *He clicks, bringing back the memory of Ender* Remember this fellow?

Kelle: *He gently picks at her hair, blowing air on her every so often. Vitali walks back in with a mug of tea and a plate of cake* I'm back!

Kelle: *She glares at him* Yes...I do.

Cheddar: *She smiles when she sees Vitali* Yay!

Matt: You were begging for it with him.

Kelle: *He grins* I come bearing gifts!

Kelle: No, I wasn't! How dare you say that!

Cheddar: *She tries to get away from Discord* Help.

Kelle: What is he doing? *He sets the mug and plate down on a barrel and walks over. Discord looks up and whinnies*

Matt: *He grins and starts to walk towards her*

Cheddar: Grooming me.

Kelle: *She points the knife at him* Stay away from me!

Matt: *He ignores her and keeps walking*

Kelle: See, he's not a bad horse. *Discord walks away a bit and goes to his apples*

Kelle: I said stay away from me! *She quickly moves around him and sprints out of the room*

Cheddar: *She huffs and fixes her hair* Did you bring me tea?

Matt: *He doesn't follow her, waiting for her to stop running*

Kelle: I did. *He picks up the mug and holds it out to her*

Cheddar: *She takes the mug, grinning and drinks it* Thank you.

Kelle: *She sprints halfway to the armory, then teleports there. She grabs a sword and hides*

Kelle: Did I make it alright?

Matt: *He teleports next to her and hides with her* Why are we hiding?

Cheddar: It's wonderful, thanks.

Kelle: *She shrieks and sprints away from him and out the armory with the sword*

Kelle: Great. I brought you chocolate cake too. Someone has been stocking up the kitchen again.

Matt: *He laughs and looks at the weapons*

Cheddar: *She grins* My favourite!

Kelle: *She starts running toward the library to get away from him*

Kelle: Is it? I just brought that because I know you like chocolate.

Matt: *He clicks and takes control, turning her towards him*

Cheddar: *She grins and nods, purring at him*

Kelle: *She stops in her tracks and struggles to face the direction she wants to go, nearly at the library door*

Kelle: Great. *He holds the plate for her and sits on the barrel*

Matt: *He keeps going wanting her to come back*

Cheddar: *She takes the plate and smiles, starting to eat it*

Kelle: *She keeps fighting him, gripping the library door and struggling to move*

Kelle: Is it good?

Matt: *He doesn't let up, getting more intense*

Cheddar: *She nods and grins*

Kelle: *She grits her teeth and keeps going, teleporting to a random nearby hallway*

Kelle: Good to hear. *He stretches and leans back against a stall*

Cheddar: *She silently eats the cake*

Matt: *He teleports to her and grabs her*

Kelle: *He gets up and peers into a water trough, fixing his hair*

Kelle: *She shrieks and swings the sword at him* No!

Matt: *He gets hit and falls*

Kelle: *She kicks at him* Leave me alone!

Cheddar: *She finishes the cake and smiles at hiim*

Matt: *He grunts and lies there*

Kelle: *He doesn't see her and keeps fixing his hair* I look like a mess.

Kelle: *She kicks him again and starts to run away*

Kelle: Why am I being forced to tell this story?

Israphel: Because I'm tired of being the one who has to tell stories.

Kelle: *He sighs* Fine. Which one are we talking about?

Israphel: The embarrassing one.

Kelle: Are you talking about the one where I was in Mistral City when we took it over?

Cheddar: You look fine, promise.

Matt: *He stretches and hisses a little*

Kelle: Do I? I feel like my hair looks bad.

Kelle: *She's running down the hall, not sure what to do*

Israphel: That's a good one.

Kelle: Fine. That one. Kelle, have you heard what went on there at Mistral? *She nods a little* Sort of?

Israphel: Quite a story.

Kelle: What were you doing there, Issy?

Israphel: Destroying.

Kelle: Oh come on Israphel. We were doing more than that.

Israphel: I was trying to allow our story teller to give the bulk of the story.

Kelle: I only know what my job was. I don't know the complete reason why we were there.

Israphel: You tell your story first.

Kelle: *He nods and fiddles with his glass* You heard about the abandoned bass that was at Mistral? *She nods* We had hid a piece of the map there.

Israphel: *He smiles, thinking of mistral*

Kelle: The only reason we were moving the map was because Xephos, Honeydew, and that knight were close to finding it. Israphel here thought it would be better if we moved it.

Cheddar: Your hair looks just as beautiful as you.

Matt: *He teleports to her and slams her against the wall*

Kelle: Oh stop. You're flattering me.

Kelle: *She yelps and tries to stab at him with the sword*

Cheddar: Yeah, but you love it.

Matt: *He growls and straddles her, holding her head and letting his eyes go black*

Kelle: Oh you know I do. *He grins at her*

Kelle: She has the knife in the other hand and wildly swings it at him*

Cheddar: *She smiles and drinks her tea*

Matt: *He growls more and his eyes are fully black* Stop.

Kelle: *He stretches and walks around the stables*

Kelle: No! Get off of me!

Cheddar: *She watches him and whimpers slightly when he goes too far*

Matt: *He rolls his eyes and tell

Matt: teleports to an empty room*

Kelle: *He hears her whimper and frowns* Everything alright?

Kelle: *She tries to teleport away from him as he's teleporting*

Cheddar: W-What?

Matt: *He's got her trapped now, no escape*

Kelle: You're whimpering, love.

Kelle: *She starts struggling furiously* Let me go!

Cheddar: Am I? I didn't realize.

Cheddar: *He snarls and punches her hard* Play nice!

Kelle: You did when I walked away a little bit. *He goes around checking on all the horses*

Kelle: *She yelps and spits at him, still swinging the knife at his face*

Cheddar: *She whimpers again when he gets too far away, wanting to follow him*

Cheddar: *He grabs the arm the knife is being held in and twists it quickly*

Kelle: Cheddar, I'm not going anywhere. I'm just making sure all the horses have food.

Cheddar: Promise?

Kelle: *She yelps loudly and tries to hold onto the knife, violently squirming about*

Cheddar: *He growls and pulls the knife from her, throwing it at the wall*

Kelle: I promise, love. *He starts to walk toward the storage part of the stables* I'm just getting hay bales.

Kelle: No! *She makes a mad struggle toward where he threw her knife*

Cheddar: *She watches him, trying not to whimper but failing quite obviously*

Cheddar: *He clutches her waist, dragging her into him* We're not done.

Kelle: *He starts humming softly and comes back out with two hay bales in his arms and two in his wings* Still here.

Kelle: Yes, we are! *She violently twists to the side and turns herself away from him a bit*

Cheddar: *She watches him, her whimpering stopping when he moves closer*

Kelle: *He smiles at her and breaks up half a bale, throwing it into Israphel's horse's stall*

Cheddar: You wanna go in the back, thats fine with me! *He pushes her onto her stomach and grins*

Cheddar has joined us.

Kelle: *She whimpers and tries her best to turn over again and drag herself away from him* No! No no no!

Cheddar: *She smiles back at him a little and watches him putting the hay in the stall*

Cheddar: *He's got a good grip on her and starts to tug her and his own pants off*

Kelle: *He goes to each stall, checking the food supply and filling up every trough a little*

Kelle: NO! *She shrieks and violently flails around, quickly terrified at being face down* Not this way! NO!

Cheddar: *She watches him, clutching her tea and trying not to whimper occasionally*

Cheddar: We could have done it normally, but you insisted. *He grins and pins her down, moving closer to her*

Kelle: *He smiles at her, trying to cheer her up* I'm not going anywhere, love.

Kelle: NO! I WAS TRYING TO GET AWAY!

Cheddar: *She nods* I know... But something is telling me you won't.

Cheddar: *He chuckles* Too late. *He thrusts into her quickly*

Kelle: I'm not leaving. Why do you think I am?

Kelle: *She shrieks and tries to drag herself away again, quickly starting to panic*

Cheddar: *She shrugs looking down* I don't know... I'm just worried...

Cheddar: *He grins at her panicking, continuing to thrust into her quickly*

Kelle: I'm not going to leave. *He gives John's horse the last of the hay and walks over to her*

Kelle: *She starts sobbing and screaming, doing her best to try and get away*

Cheddar: *She snuggles right up against him and almost on him when he comes over, purring a little*

Cheddar: *Matt keeps thrusting getting rougher and quicker, grunting loudly*

Kelle: Cheddar, goodness. *He holds her close and frowns* What's wrong?

Kelle: *She starts shaking, still sobbing and screaming. Her struggles start to die down*

Cheddar: *She whimpers a little and stays close to him* Just worried...

Kelle: About what, love?

Cheddar: *He keeps moving faster, grinning when she shakes*

Cheddar: You leaving…

Kelle: *She shakes out of fear and whimpers. He can't see it but her groin twitches* Not....back! P-Please!

Kelle: I'm not going to. Is it because of that man?

Cheddar: *She nods a little and curls up close to him*

Cheddar: Too late now. *He keeps thrusting into her, going slow for a moment before speeding up*

Kelle: Do you want to stay down here for a bit?

Kelle: Please! I'll...I...go again if you want...after this. Just...please on my back! *She's starting to sound frantic*

Cheddar: Can we go get a shower? Please? I smell like horse.

Cheddar: *He ignores her, pulling her waist closer to him with each thrust*

Kelle: You don't like that smell?

Kelle: Matt p-please! *She can't stop sobbing and shaking*

Cheddar: I have horse spit in my hair and all over my face, Vitali. *She looks up at Discord* Blame him.

Cheddar: No. You don't get to beg now. *He continues to thrust, starting to shake and moan*

Kelle: *He chuckles* Alight, let's take our things upstairs. And these two sleeping babies.

Kelle: *She cries and doesn't stop shaking. Her muscles spasm briefly*

Cheddar: *She nods and grabs Jack and Budderball, putting her backpack on her back and smiling* Ready.

Cheddar: *He moans when she spasms and it spurs him on, he starts to move faster and harder. He moans loudly*

Kelle: *He grabs the rest of their things and puts his arm around her* Ready.

Kelle: *She squeaks in pain a bit and her muscles spasm again he moves harder*

Cheddar: *She smiles and stands close to him, starting to walk and making sure he's next to her*

Cheddar: *He grunts at each thrust, roughly slamming into her*

Kelle: *He grabs the mug and plate as they walk past it* I'm here, not going anywhere.

Kelle: *She shivers along with the shaking and her muscles start clenching around him*

Cheddar: *She smiles at him and walks with him, heading to the room*

Cheddar: *He moans and starts shaking more, stopping himself for the moment*

Kelle: See? I'm not going anywhere. *He leads up back up to their room*

Kelle: *Her muscles spasm and her hips squirm when he stops. She whimpers, her body reacting against her will again*

Cheddar: *She smiles and quickly puts Jack and Budderball to bed and putting her bag in the coffin room, running back to him quickly* Shower now?

Cheddar: *He starts to roughly slam into her again after a moment, making sure he's in as far as he can go*

Kelle: A shower sounds wonderful. *He drops the bags and blankets by the bed*

Kelle: *She lets out a barely audible moan and her hips squirm more*

Cheddar: *She smiles and walks towards the bathroom, looking at him to make sure he's following her*

Cheddar: *He grins and moans, shaking and holding her hips close to him*

Kelle: *He follows closely behind her, smiling*

Kelle: *Her muscles start spasming and clenching again, making her shiver strongly a few times*

Cheddar: *She smiles back at him, going over to the shower and turning it on. She starts to take her clothes off and smiles at him again*

Kelle: *He ruffles her hair and starts to strip* You still smell nice to me.

Cheddar: *He can't hold it anymore and comes, thrusting a few more times before pulling out*

Kelle: *She whimpers at him finishing and at her body fighting to keep him in*

Cheddar: *She smiles and wrinkles her nose* I need a waaaaaaash... I smell naaaaaasty.

Kelle: You smell lovely. *He chuckles and hops into the shower*

Cheddar: *He pulls out and smiles, putting her on her back and pulling her pants up* There, thats all I wanted. *He holds her head in his hands and his eyes go black* Jy sal nie onthou enige van hierdie. Dit was al 'n droom. (You won't remember any of this. This was all a dream.)

Cheddar: I smell like shit. *She gets in with him and moves close to him, wrapping her arms around his waist and purring*

Kelle: *She whimpers and shakes her head, tear tracks all over her face*

Kelle: Literally or figuratively? *He chuckles*

Cheddar: *He snarls* Jy sal nie onthou enige van hierdie, of mense sal sterf. Vergeet hierdie hele gebeurtenis, dit was alles 'n droom. (You won't remember any of this, or people will die. Forget this whole event, it was all a dream.)

Cheddar: Literally. *She smiles and kisses his chest, purring*

Kelle: *She whimpers more at hearing that and nods her head slowly* O-Okay.

Kelle: Hmm, well did you roll in shit? Because I don't see any of you.

Cheddar: Good girl. Moenie vir iemand of jy in die moeilikheid. (Don't tell anyone or you're in trouble.)

Cheddar: I didn't roll in shit but we were in stables where there's a lot of shit.

Kelle: *She nods again* C-Can I leave?

Kelle: But it's clean in there. I checked.

Cheddar: You can leave. *He gets up and brushes himself off, teleporting out*

Cheddar: Then how could I roll in shit?

Kelle: *She sobs and teleports straight back to the bedroom, curling up on the bed and hiding in the blankets*

Kelle: Magic. *He chuckles and starts washing his hair*

Cheddar: *She rolls her eyes and washes her hair to, putting soap on his face and giggling*

Kelle: *He blinks at her* What was that for?

Cheddar: *She giggles* I love you.

Kelle: Is that why I have soap on my face?

Cheddar: Yes that's why you hav soap on your face. Because I love you.

Kelle: *He puts soap on her nose* Same goes for that.

Cheddar: *She wrinkles her nose and smiles* Hey. Hey, guess what?

Kelle: I don't know. *He grins* I'm amazing.

Cheddar: No guess what.

Kelle: I smell like shit?

Cheddar: I love you. *She smiles and kisses him*

Kelle: I love you too. *He kisses her* I'm surprised Jack slept through all that.

Cheddar: He's a heavy sleeper. *She smiles and hugs him, not planning on letting go* Naked cuddles?

Kelle: Here in the shower?

Cheddar: In bed.

Kelle: Of course we can. *He finishes up washing his hair*

Cheddar: *She smiles and quickly washes herself off, getting out and drying herself off quickly*

Kelle: *He hops out and quickly starts drying himself off, then racing to the bed*

Cheddar: *She whimpers when he runs and follows him, climbing into the bed and smiling*

Kelle: *He frowns as he climbs under the covers* You keep whimpering if I'm not next to you.

Cheddar: Do I? *She snuggles up to him and holds onto him tightly*

Kelle: Yeah, you do. Is it because you're worried?

Cheddar: I didn't know I was doing it, so I don't know. *She rests her head on his chest*

Kelle: It's okay. Don't worry about it. *He pulls the covers over them both*

Cheddar: *She smiles and purrs, starting to drift off a little*

Kelle: *He chuckles and runs his hand through her hair* Get some rest, love. I'll be here.

Cheddar: *She nods and drifts off, whimpering until she gets a better grip on him*

Israphel: It was a better idea then just leaving it there.

Kelle: *He nods in agreement* Yes, especially since they were looking around for traces of us. Anyway, I was down well underneath that base and there were others up in the city.

Israphel: That were actually doing their job.

Kelle: What does that mean? I was doing my job unlike Jock who set the whole damn place of fire because he felt like it.

Israphel: Well, I have to admit it made it a lot more interesting.

Kelle: Interesting? He burnt everything to the ground. We could have gotten so many supplies out of that place.

Israphel: Eh, I enjoyed watching everyone watch their things burn. Running and screaming in terror.

Kelle: *He scoffs* And that trio went to save that stupid, pointless record. *Kelle frowns* They saved a...record?

Israphel has joined us.

Israphel: Don't question them.

Kelle: Who are we talking about again that saved a record?

Israphel: The idiots.

Kelle: Xephos and Honeydew?

Israphel: I believe so.

Kelle: Why in the hell would they save a record when the whole city was on fire? That seems kind of...pointless.

Israphel: They aren't very good heroes.

Kelle: I guess. *She pauses* Weren't they with that knight guy? *John chokes on his drink when she says "knight guy"* What's so funny?

Israphel: *He smiles** Yes, yes...

Kelle: What did I say that was so funny? I can't remember his name. *John laughs again* What?!

Israphel: Very peculiar.

Kelle: *John coughs on his drink and bursts out laughing. Kelle looks completely confused* Is there some inside joke you two about this guy?

Israphel: *He laughs as well, loving how confused Kelle looks*

Kelle: *John laughs harder as Israphel starts laughing and Kelle looks even more lost* What the hell is so funny?

Israphel: *He hears John laughing, and starts to laugh a bit more, finding it funny hearing him actually laugh. He's not even laughing at his own comment anymore, just really at the moment in general.*

Kelle: I'm so damn confused now. *She gets up to go get a drink from the fridge* I don't get what's so funny. *John keeps laughing*

Israphel: *He grins* Don't worry. It's nothing too interesting.

Kelle: *She comes back with a drink and John is calming himself down* So what's his name? Is no one going to tell me?

Israphel: It's Peculiar. *He says it in a mocking tone, knowing quite well his actual name*

Kelle: Is that really his name or are you guys still messing with me?

Israphel: His name is Peculiar.

Kelle: Oh okay, good. How come Xephos never mentions him? I would have thought he would by now.

Israphel: He's dead.

Kelle: Whoa, is he really?

Israphel: Tried to swim in lava.

Kelle: Ouch! Did you plan that, Issy?

Israphel: That's a secret.

Kelle: Really? I can't know that either?

Israphel: Really.

Kelle: *She flicks a bread crumb at him* You're no fun. *John chuckles at her* How about I continue the story?

Israphel: Oh yes, story time!

Kelle: So I left off at me being under the base and the trio of idiots saving a record. I was down there alone for a long time with plenty of mobs and such protecting where I was. That and a zombiefied old woman but that's not important.

Israphel: *He snickers* That process was fun. poor woman.

Kelle: I could hear Xephos and Honeydew screaming from across the base. So...*He takes a long sip of his drink* They eventually found their way over to me. I wasn't finished with what I was doing there and they found me. This is where it gets embarrassing.

Israphel: *He grins, loving this*

Kelle: Well? What happened? *John sighs at her* Do you really have to know?

Israphel: Yes, she must.

Kelle: *He shakes his head* They instantly started chasing me. I sort of panicked, threw my sword at them, then proceeded to try and kill Honeydew with a map fragment. *Kelle bursts out laughing*

Israphel: *He laughs as well* I love it!

Kelle: They ran at me. Xephos had a diamond sword and Honeydew had a diamond pickaxe. It was in extremely close quarters too!

Israphel: Excuses.

Kelle: That's not an excuse. You ran away every time you bumped into them.

Israphel: Because I didn't want them dead yet!

Kelle: They would have respawned anyway if I had killed them...which I didn't. I didn't even get one hit in.

Israphel: *He snickers again*

Kelle: Oh stop it! I ended up with a cracked skull and a pickaxe through my chest. You didn't find it funny when you found me dead. At least that's what ZB told me.

Israphel: Okay, fine, it wasn't funny then.

Kelle: No, especially since I was out of it for ages. ZB kept saying you were pissed and throwing fits by raiding and destroying things.

Israphel: *He rolls his eyes* Its wasn't that bad.

Kelle: Well ZB said you were pretty distraught about it. Apparently you carried me back. *Kelle looks between them*

Israphel: Of course I did.

Kelle: Still, you were pretty upset about it. *He looks at Kelle* And that's the story of how I tried to kill someone with a piece of paper.

Israphel: Like an idiot.

Kelle: Hush you. *He goes back to his drink and Kelle giggles* You too, Kelle.

Israphel: *He grins* We've been shushed.

Kelle: *She giggles again and John ruffles her hair* Hey didn't I say not to laugh at me.

Israphel: *He smiles* I do love story time.

Kelle: *She smiles and giggles at her hair being ruffled* Do I get to another one?

Israphel: If John's willing to tell you another one. You're not hearing one from me.

Kelle: I could tell her one about you. *He smirks* That way you would be telling her one by proxy.

Israphel: Do not.

Kelle: Why not? Are you going to throw a napkin at me?

Israphel: I most certainly will.

Kelle: That's not all that scary. And I can easily get out of your way, hobbles.

Israphel: Oi, I could easily take you down, even if I'm a bit wobbly!

Kelle: I'd like to see you try with those injuries. Let's see....what about when you go on your organizing spree of the library?

Israphel: John!

Kelle: Those days are interesting. They happen at least...once or twice a year. Don't you have a name for it?

Israphel: /John/!

Kelle: What's the name for it again? I can't remember. And isn't that day overdue? The library is a mess.

Israphel: Will you kindly shut up?

Kelle: Organizing day? No, that's not it. Fix up the library day? No. *Kelle starts giggling*

Israphel: John! For Notch's sake!

Kelle: I can't remember the name. It's the day you reorganize every single book on every shelf. *She giggles more*

Israphel: *He's grumbling now, not even bothering arguing*

Kelle: Oh come on. You love doing that.

Israphel: Shut up.

Kelle: *He chuckles* I doubt you have anything like that on me.

Israphel: You know what John? You suck.

Kelle: Oh I'm so hurt. Look at how sad I am now.

Israphel: Good. *He sticks his tongue out at John*

Kelle: Hey, I'll make you eat soap for that. *She keeps giggling at them*

Israphel: Not the soap!

Kelle: I think there's soap in the kitchen somewhere.

Israphel: Maybe I'll make you eat the soap, how about that?

Kelle: Oh please. You would have to catch me first.

Israphel: Gladly.

Kelle: Sure you can. *He picks up a napkin wad and throws it at him*

Israphel: *he quickly catches it and throws it back*

Kelle: *He tosses the napkin wad right back at his head and smirks* Oops.

Israphel: *He grabs another napkin, whipping it at him*

Kelle: *He starts whipping napkin wads at him. Kelle rests her head on her arms and watches them, hiding a yawn*

Israphel: *He grins, throwing more napkins at him* After you lose, you're totally going to eat some soap.

Kelle: No, I think you are! *He tosses one of the wet napkins at his head. Kelle hides her mouth in her arms and yawns*

Israphel: *The napkin hits him and he pauses* Gross.

Kelle: You earned that. *She giggles at them and yawns again*

Israphel: Almost as gross as you. *He glances over at Kelle* Tired?

Kelle: I'm not gross! *She stops mid-yawn and looks at him* Hmm? What?

Israphel: You totally are. And Kelle, you should go to bed.

Kelle: At the kitchen table?

Israphel: I mean in the bedroom.

Kelle: *She yawns again and nods* Can we go back up? I didn't sleep that great last night.

Israphel: Okay. John, thank you for gracing us with your presence and story time.

Kelle: *He ruffles Kelle's hair* Any time. Need any help getting back upstairs?

Israphel: Nope. You'd probably trip me. Well, I'd probably trip you first.

Kelle: *He chuckles* I'll clean up this mess. You two can leave if she's ready.

Israphel: *He starts to stand* Well thank you.

Kelle: *He nods. Kelle stands and goes straight to Israphel's side*

Israphel: *He stands and smiles at Kelle* Ready?

Kelle: Sure. Are you? *She has a sleepy look on her face*

Israphel: Mmmmmhm. Let's go. *He starts hobbling quickly*

Kelle: *She stays close to him* You know, I could just teleport us up there.

Israphel: Can you?

Kelle: I think so. I teleported a few days ago when me and Cheddar we're hanging out.

Israphel: Hmm..

Kelle: What?

Israphel: I'm not sure if it's a good idea.

Kelle: Why not? Nothing happened the other times I tried.

Israphel: If you're sure, we can.

Kelle: Can I try? You can smack me if I start warbling at all.

Israphel: Okay..

Kelle: *She wraps her arm around his arm* Ready?

Israphel: As I'll ever be.

Kelle: *She nods and shuts her eyes, teleporting them straight to the room. She wobbles a little bit*

Israphel: *He blinks a few times* Well, that worked. Are you okay?

Kelle: Yeah, I'm just not used to doing that on a full stomach.

Israphel: Well, at least it worked. *He quickly hobbles to the bed, draggin her along. His legs are hurting and he doesn't want to stand, but he doesn't want to admit that* Well, I'm tired.

Kelle: *She quickly stumbles after him and flops down onto the bed, pulling the covers up and yawning* Same.

Israphel: *He sighs and stretches out onthe bed* nighty night Kelle.

Kelle: Night, Issy. *She covers him with blankets and snuggles up to him, quickly falling asleep*

Cheddar: *She purrs happily, snuggling up to Vitali and stroking his chest a little. She's awake but she's got her eyes shut*

Kelle: *He grumbles softly in his sleep and starts to wake up*

Cheddar: *She purrs again, kissing his arm*

Kelle: *He wakes up at hearing her purr and sleepily blinks at her* Hey there.

Cheddar: Hey. *She smiles at him and lets her arm rest on his chest*

Kelle: *He yawns widely* What do you want to do today?

Cheddar: *She shrugs* I don't know. Cuddling doesn't sound too bad... *She smiles* It's up to you.

Kelle: You want to cuddle all day long?

Cheddar: I wouldn't mind. *She smiles* Or, we could... I don't know.

Kelle: We could go hunt? I am going to need to eat soon.

Cheddar: *She purrs* Okay... But can we cuddle a little first?

Kelle: Of course we can. *He curls up next to her*

Cheddar: *She smiles and nuzzles him, quite happily stroking his chest again*

Kelle: *He purrs softly and wraps his wings around her*

Cheddar: *She smiles and kisses his chest a little, purring with him*

Kelle: *He keeps purring, being quite loud and stirring his wings a bit*

Cheddar: *She smiles at his purring and keeps stroking his chest, closing her eyes and resting her head on his shoulder*

Kelle: *He purrs more and thumps his wings a bit*

Cheddar: *She giggles at him thumping his wings* Hey Thumper, you enjoying this?

Kelle: Yesssssss. *He thumps his wings again*

Cheddar: *She giggles and kisses him again, letting his wing thump*

Kelle: *He purrs and hisses, thumping his wing constantly*

Cheddar: *She giggles and moves closer to him, wrapping a leg around him*

Kelle: *He keeps purring and thumping his wings, half closing his eyes*

Cheddar: *She smiles and relaxes and smiles, purring at him and slowly stroking his chest*

Kelle: *He keeps purring, not noticing the loud rumble from his stomach*

Cheddar: *She's too busy with listening to him being adorable to notice the rumble*

Kelle: *He opens his eyes a tiny bit and they're bright scarlet red. He hisses softly*

Cheddar: *She smiles when he hisses and purrs back at him*

Kelle: *He starts to move away from her, hissing again*

Cheddar: *She frowns when he moves away and tries to snuggle up to him again*

Kelle: *He hisses and pushes her away from him*

Cheddar: *She frowns and looks at him* What are you doing?

Kelle: *He looks at her with red eyes and starts to pull his clothes on, hissing at her*

Cheddar: *She whimpers and watches him* What did I do? Did I do something wrong?

Kelle: *He speaks and his voice is laced with hissing. He pulls the rest of his clothes on* Yesss. You. Everything.

Cheddar: *She frowns at him, looking confused* What...?

Kelle: You heard me. Everything isss wrong. What the hell am I doing out here?

Cheddar: You... Came out here with me.

Kelle: Yeah and that was a missstake. I ssshouldn't be out here.

Cheddar: *She hides a whimper* Are you saying everything we did was a mistake?

Kelle: *He laughs coldly* Well done. Look at you, figuring that out on your own.

Cheddar: *She sits up and wraps herself in the blanket* Vitali... Why... *She whimpers* Why?

Kelle: Why not? All you wanted was to use your connection with Kelle to get a place to ssstay. You usssed me!

Cheddar: I... What?! No I didn't! I would never use you!

Kelle: That's a lie and you know it! You jussst wanted a place to ssstay and a roof over your head! I should have known! I bet you've done thisss before!

Cheddar: *She just stares at him, whimpering and backing up a little* I... Not you... Never to you...

Kelle: Oh yeah? How many other people did you sssay that too?!

Cheddar: *She doesn't answer him for a while then looks down* I mean it this time...

Kelle: How do I know that?! Huh?! *He's starting to raise his voice* I do I know that you're not a two-faced witch?!

Cheddar: *She whimpers and curls up a litttle, looking at him* Stop...

Kelle: Ssso you admit it?! Do you?! You usssed me and lied to me! Do you even care about Jack?!

Cheddar: *She frowns* Don't you dare! Don't you even question my love for Jack! I care about him way too much... Why would you even question that...?

Kelle: I think I have every right to when you USED ME! I KNOW YOU DID!

Cheddar: *She wipes her eyes* I didn't use you. I didn't. I wouldn't.

Kelle: YES YOU DID! *He snarls and walks out of the tent*

Cheddar: *She whimpers and covers her face, starting to cry. Darling looks up at him as he walks out and whinnies, Jack is still asleep next to Discord*

Kelle: *He's snarling to himself and walks over to Jack* Jack, wake up!

Cheddar: *Jack wakes up and grins* Dad! Hi! *Budderball runs into the tent and into Cheddar. Darling neighs at Vitali and covers Jack with her muzzle, looking up at him*

Kelle: *He storms over with his wings flaired out a little and goes to pick up Jack* We're leaving. Right now.

Cheddar: *Darling snaps at his hand and snorts* Okay dad. Mum come?

Kelle: No, ssshe doesn't care. *He hisses at Darling and goes to pick up Jack again*

Cheddar: *Darling bites him this time, getting up and standing over Discord and Jack. Jack looks confused about the whole thing*

Kelle: *He screeches in pain and spreads his wings, snarling at Darling*

Cheddar: *Darling doesn't move and stamps her foot a little. Jack frowns at Vitali snarling and hides behind Darling's leg*

Kelle: Get out of the way horse! *He hisses and starts to circle Darling*

Cheddar: *Darling picks up Jack in her mouth and watches him, nudging Discord a little to try and wake him up*

Kelle: *He hisses even more and keeps circling Darling. Discord nickers in annoyance*

Cheddar: *Darling snorts in Discord's ear and kicks him a little as she starts to back up a little. Jack whines at them both, looking really confused and worried*

Kelle: *He hisses louder again and Discord flattens his ears, running to the tent and sticking his head in. He neighs at Cheddar*

Cheddar: *Cheddar's sobbing and ignores Discord, she's hiding in the blanket. Darling whinnies and puts Jack on her back, getting ready to run*

Kelle: *Vitali puts himself between Darling and the exit, snarling. Discord neighs again, sounding more frantic and tugs at Cheddar's shirt*

Cheddar: Go a-away... *She curls up more. Darling snorts and puts her head down, scraping the ground with her hoof*

Kelle: *He screeches from outside the tent and watches Darling, starting to creep forward. Discord tries to drag her out of the tent*

Cheddar: *She kicks him away* Fuck off! Go to your saviour... You love him so much... *Darling rears up and storms at Vitali, not realising Jack rolled off the back of her onto the floor. Jack giggles and starts to crawl to Discord*

Kelle: *He snarls and tries to jump onto Darling's back. Discord snorts and neighs, trying to get Cheddar to look towards Vitali*

Cheddar: *Darling rears up when he gets on her back and starts to try and buck him off. Cheddar ignores him again and just curls up more, crying*

Kelle: *He screeches and tries to sink his fangs into Darling's neck, clinging onto her back. Discord moves her head and nudges her so she faces Vitali*

Cheddar: *She sees Vitali and screeches, running at him and knocking him off Darling. Darling falls sideways then scrambles up and goes over to Discord and Jack* DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH MY HORSE! OR MY SON! OR ANYONE I CARE ABOUT AGAIN! BECAUSE YOU CLEARLY DON'T CARE!

Kelle: *He snarls and then screeches in pain when he crashes to the ground. He tries to get up once and falls over*

Cheddar: *She moves away from him and watches him, tears still falling down her face* Go away... Just leave until you've sorted yourself out... I don't want to see you at all. You're not having Jack or Budderball or Darling or Discord until you've sorted yourself out. *She snarls* GO!

Kelle: *He doesn't answer her, not making a sound*

Cheddar: Leave before I make you! *She glares at him*

Kelle: *He still doesn't answer and he doesn't move either*

Cheddar: *She snarls at him and grabs him, dragging him to the exit and throwing him into the dark. She covers the exit and goes back to the horses, checking them over*

Kelle: *She might see a bit of blood on his head as she drags him out. He lands in a heap and doesn't respond. Discord nickers at her*

Cheddar: *She smiles weakly and falls to her knees, curling up and sobbing. Darling picks up Jack and moves him away*

Kelle: *Discord brings his head down to her and nuzzles her*

Cheddar: *She hugs his muzzle, sobbing into his fur*

Kelle: *Discord nuzzles her again and snorts softly. In the cave Vitali is stumbling out, desperately wanting to eat*

Cheddar: *She sighs and whimpers* We gotta go... Now. *She quickly starts packing up what she needs. She leaves a pillow and puts the necklaces Vitali go her on there. she mounts Darling and keeps Jack and Budderball with her* Follow if you want Discord... *She races off out of the exit and heads the opposite way to the way they came*

Kelle: *Discord slowly starts to follow her. Outside the cave Vitali has drained two rabbits and a passing deer. He looks up when he hears hooves and frowns, back to himself now* Where is she going?

Cheddar: *She keeps going, wiping her eyes and crying again* Keep going, the further you go the less it will hurt...

Kelle: *He flies after her, seeing Discord running after Darling and calls after her* Cheddar, where are you going?!

Cheddar: *She ignores him, speeding up more*

Kelle: *He dives down toward her and catches up, flying above her* Cheddar, slow down! What's wrong?!

Cheddar: Don't act like you don't know! *She whimpers and Jack is clinging to her tightly*

Kelle: No, I don't know! I just remember finding myself in the forest with dead rabbits! What happened?!

Cheddar: *She holds back a sob and keeps going, pushing Darling to her limit. Darling neighs loudly and does as she's told, her legs moving in almost a blur*

Kelle: *He flies as fast as he can to keep up with her* Will you stop?! Please I don't know what's wrong, love!

Cheddar: *She stops quickly, moving out of Discord's way incase he can't stop quickly enough. She doesn't even look at him* Go back to the camp and look. Go back now. There's a note. Go.

Kelle: *He hovers near her* I'm not going back without you and Jack. Please, Cheddar.

Cheddar: Go and look. I'll wait right here. Go.

Kelle: But...what if you're not here when I get back? Please come back with me.

Cheddar: I'll be here. Trust me, because I'm not a two faced witch. *She's still not looking at him, refusing* Just go and look.

Kelle: W-What? Why did you say that?

Cheddar: JUST GO!

Kelle: *He flinches and hovers back a bit* I love you. *He quickly flies back to the camp*

Cheddar: *She doesn't answer him, starting to cry again. At the camp there's a note on the pillow with her two necklaces. It says "When you think everything we did was a mistake. Say I don't care about Jack. Say I used you. Call me a two faced witch. And just all out say you hate me, then I don't want to know you. You know that I love you, Jack and everyone else so why say it? You can take these back and maybe... Just maybe you'll get me back. But from the way you acted don't expect it to be easy. I don't know where I'm going, but it's somewhere away from the person who seems to hate me the most. Goodbye, love you, your burrito."*

Kelle: *He reads the note, screeches sadly, and pockets the necklaces. He races out of the camp and back to her, grabbing Darling's bridle and trying to pull her back towards the camp* You're not leaving! You promised me you wouldn't leave again!

Cheddar: *She holds Darling in place, not saying anything or moving at all*

Kelle: *He starts crying and his voice gets high pitched* You can't leave! I never said those things! I don't remember saying those things! You can't leave! I can't handle that! *He keeps pulling Darling toward the camp, frantically flapping his wings*

Cheddar: *She hides her face and Jack starts crying, reaching out for Vitali. Darling tries to stop herself moving but is failing, moving as Vitali pulls her. Cheddar doesn't move at all, staying silent*

Kelle: Please, I don't remember saying those things! I don't even remember waking up this morning! All I remember is draining a deer next to some rabbits and you racing out of the camp! Please don't go! *He has a death grip on Darling's bridle and starts sobbing*

Cheddar: *She doesn't say anything and tries to calm Jack down, shushing him quietly. Darling looks at Cheddar then back at Vitali and whinnes. Jack's still crying and screaming*

Kelle: *He lets go of the bridle and latches onto Cheddar, sobbing into her hair* Don't go! Don't go! Please!

Cheddar: *She looks down, slowly and gently holding his hand. Darling slowly turns around and nuzzles Discord, walking back towards the camp with him*

Kelle: *He's shaking and sobbing, repeating "I'm sorry" over and over. Discord trots ahead of them*

Cheddar: *Darling walks slowly, Cheddar doesn't say anything the whole way back to the camp. Stopping Darling when she gets there and getting off Darling, letting Jack and Budderball sit on the floor for now*

Kelle: *He falls off of Darling when Cheddar moves and drags himself over to her, latching onto her again with a death grip*

Cheddar: *She takes the bridle of Darling and lets Darling do what she likes. She slowly walks to the river and tries to get Vitali off her* Let go.

Kelle: No, you'll leave me. *He's shaking uncontrollably*

Cheddar: Let go, Vitali. *She stands there and just waits*

Kelle: *He doesn't answer, still clinging to her and dry heaving from sobs*

Cheddar: *She prys him off her and sits him on the floor* Stay there. I mean it. *She walks about six/seven feet away and sits down, looking up at the canopy*

Kelle: *He stays where he is, still shaking and watching her with scared eyes*

Cheddar: *She sighs, curls up on the floor and wraps herself in her wings*

Kelle: *He keeps shaking* What...What did I do?

Cheddar: You know what you did. *She doesn't move or look at him, she's got her back to him and is crying again*

Kelle: But I don't. I still don't understand what happened. Cheddar please talk to me. You're scaring me.

Cheddar: You scared me.

Kelle: What did I do?

Cheddar: Everything I put in the note.

Kelle: Were my eyes red at all?

Cheddar: I don't know. I couldn't see I was crying.

Kelle: Oh.....was I hissing a lot?

Cheddar: More than usual.

Kelle: *He sighs heavily* I think I might have been blood hungry. I...I tend to do things I regret later and I don't remember when I'm like that.

Cheddar: Yeah. Okay. *She gets up and brushes herself off* I'm going to bed. Night. *She doesn't head to the disasembled tent and starts to scale a tree*

Kelle: *He sighs again and goes to fix the tent, crying to himself again*

Cheddar: *She sits up high in a tree and watches him from where she is, looking away and looking at the canopy*

Kelle: *He slowly goes about fixing the tent and lets himself collapse outside of the tent once he's finished*

Cheddar: *She watches Darling nudge him a little, backing away quickly and doing a little hop skip. Jack starts crying next to him*

Kelle: *He hears Jack and picks himself up, stumbling over to Jack and picking him up* Ssshh, it's okay bud.

Cheddar: *Jack nuzzles him and calms down, whimpering* Dad scare me when hissy...

Kelle: I know that now, bud. *He holds him close and nuzzles him* I'm sorry.

Cheddar: No hissy gain? No?

Kelle: No, bud. I won't hiss again. *He rests with his back against one of the saddles and shuts his eyes*

Cheddar: *Jack nods and curls up in his lap, purring slightly. Cheddar sighs from the tree and Darling goes over to where Discord is and nuzzles him*

Kelle: Take a nap, buddy. *He grabs a few blankets and makes a little bed for Jack, then sets him in it. Discord nickers softly at Darling*

Cheddar: *Jack falls asleep and curls up in the blankets. Darling shakes her mane and rests her head over Discord's back, closing her eyes and whinnying quietly*

Kelle: *He watches the horses for a while, then starts to reach around in the saddle pockets*

Cheddar: *Cheddar's starting to drift off, sighing heavily*

Kelle: *He finds what he wants and hides it, moving so he's a bit out of Cheddar's sight*

Cheddar: *She looks at him briefly then again when she notices him being odd. She sniffs the air a little, then quickly flies to a tree where she can see him*

Kelle: *He curls up in his wings, hiding most of himself and pulls the dagger out from where he had it hidden. He pauses, then whines when he stabs himself with it in his shoulder*

Cheddar: *She hears him whine and quickly flies down, landing in front of him* Give it to me now.

Kelle: No. You think I hate you. *He pulls the dagger out and aims it at a spot closer to his chest*

Cheddar: *She snarls and grabs the dagger, plunging it into her arm without thinking and grabs bandages to help him* I don't /ever/ want you to do this again.

Kelle: *He flops onto his back, his shoulder bleeding heavily*

Cheddar: *She leaves the dagger in her arm so she won't bleed and quickly helps him, bandaging him up and holding her hand over the bandage. Her eyes glow and Vitali can probably feel it healing up quickly*

Kelle: *He coughs from the silver and heat, groaning*

Cheddar: I can't believe you. *She finishes healing him then searches the place for daggers and sharp objects, taking them all and putting them in a bag. She helps him into the tent and puts some blood bags next to him. She sits outside the tent and plays with Budderball*

Kelle: I'm not hungry. *He calls after her and tries to get out of the tent*

Cheddar: Stay in there. I mean it. *She lets Budderball play with her foot as she heals herself, coughing a little*

Kelle: I want to be out here. *He lays down so his head and shoulders are outside the tent*

Cheddar: *She doesn't look at him, finishing healing herself and playing with Budderball*

Kelle: *He sighs* You hate me now. I can tell.

Cheddar: I'm just annoyed.

Kelle: I don't mean any of what I said. I don't mean it at all.

Cheddar: Okay.

Cheddar: *She sighs and looks down* I'm thinking about why I shouldn't harm myself... Okay?

Kelle: Because John and Kelle asked you too.

Cheddar: Not just that...

Kelle: What, me? Something tells me you don't care because the vampire in me took control and I don't remember.

Cheddar: Vitali, will you do something for me?

Kelle: What? I'm not leaving.

Cheddar: No. Will you stop thinking so negatively and be happy for me?

Kelle: Why? You're angry and you hate me now.

Cheddar: Vitali do you remember when we went out for a meal for the first time in our relationship? Just think of that for a while. Please...

Kelle: You mean the day we met Tom?

Cheddar: *She nods* And the day we met Tom.

Kelle: There was a first time? Where did we go?

Kelle: *She's stretched out next to Israphel, snoring softly in her sleep*

Cheddar: To the Italian restaraunt and you murdered the person we though was a dick so Chrissi would be okay.

Kelle: Richard. *He nods slowly* He deserved what he got.

Israphel: *He slowly wakes up, stretching and yawning *

Cheddar: *She nods* Now remember the first time I told you I loved you?

Kelle: *She has one leg and arm wrapped around him loosely and she has her head on his shoulder. Her wet hair is tied back*

Kelle: *He nods again* That seemed like so long ago now.

Cheddar: It's almost eight months. *She smiles a little* Do you remember how much we loved each other when you said it to me?

Israphel: *He looks over at Kelle and smiles, watching her quietly *

Kelle: Yes but....why do you say loved? You don't love me anymore? *His wings are drooping at his sides*

Kelle: *She's barely snoring and changed into different clothes at some point*

Israphel: *He sighs, slightly moving away, attempting to get up without waking her*

Kelle: *She mumbles a tiny bit and curls up when she feels him move*

Cheddar: *She ignores his comment* Do you remember how we've loved each other more and more?

Israphel: *He continues attempting to get up, attempting not to wake her still*

Kelle: Yes and I still do. But why are you talking like this?

Kelle: *She tries to hold onto him in her sleep more when he moves again*

Cheddar: Because I need you to listen to me. Now, when was the last time I said "I love you"?

Kelle: Last night. I don't remember anything except...you know...

Cheddar: Okay and how long has it been since then?

Israphel: *He frowns, mumbling* you're not making this easy.

Kelle: You haven't said anything.

Kelle: *She mumbles again and lets go a tiny bit*

Cheddar: How long has it been since I last said it? At a guess.

Israphel: *He slightly pulls away again*

Kelle: I think since last night.

Cheddar: So around... Eight or nine hours would you say?

Kelle: *She mumbles more when he moves and blinks her closed eyes a few times*

Israphel: *He sighs and gives up, huffing*

Kelle: *He nods slowly, scared at what she's going to say next*

Cheddar: And we've been awake for about an hourish. Yes?

Kelle: *She starts to blink her eyes open and yawns, shifting and making her a stray bit of hair fall in her face*

Kelle: *He nods again, closing his eyes*

Cheddar: And all of what happened, happened in around half that time, yes?

Israphel: *He immediately goes and moves the hair, putting it back in place *

Kelle: I....I think so. I'm not really sure.

Kelle: *She blinks her eyes again before looking at him with sleepy eyes* Hmm?

Cheddar: Now you /have/ to answer this. What makes you think almost eight months of me loving you can and having a child with you be thrown away in half an hour of you being an ass? *She smiles a little*

Kelle: You said it yourself. You wanted to leave me again.

Israphel: Well good morning.

Cheddar: I don't remember saying those exact words though. I said I was going, but I didn't know where. And it was from the person who hated me the most... But, you don't hate me?

Kelle: *She yawns* It's morning?

Kelle: No.....I never have. *He still has his eyes closed*

Cheddar: Then why would I leave someone who didn't hate me? *She lies down so her face is right in front of his but upside down*

Israphel: I don't know, is it?

Kelle: I don't know. *He sighs a little*

Kelle: Do you have a clock in here?

Israphel: somewhere.

Cheddar: Because I still love them. *She smiles and kisses him* Promise.

Kelle: It's probably pink now. *She yawns and starts to sit up*

Kelle: What? *He opens his eyes* You do?

Cheddar: Obviously. *She smiles*

Kelle: You still love me? You really do?

Cheddar: I do. *She smiles* You want to take a quick nap for me please? Just try and sleep some of that silver off? *She smiles* I'll play with Jack for a bit then wake you up soon. Yeah?

Israphel: Most likely.

Kelle: I don't know....you'll still be here?

Kelle: Gross. *She sits up and stretches* How's the head?

Cheddar: I promise I'll still be here, just sleep for a while. *She kisses him again and sits outside the tent* Go on back in and rest.

Israphel: It's getting better, actually.

Kelle: *He nods and slowly goes back into the tent, curling up and closing his eyes*

Kelle: It is? *She smiles at him* That's good.

Cheddar: *She closes the tent door properly and walks over to the stream, sitting at the edge and resting her head in her hands and cries quietly*

Kelle: *He's still sleeping a while later, whimpering softly from the discomfort in his shoulder*

Cheddar: *She's doesn't wake him up because she's fallen asleep. Darling sticks her head in the tent and nudges Vitali, making a worried whinny*

Kelle: *He wakes up and looks at Darling* W-What?

Cheddar: *She tugs on his top and looks outside the tent*

Kelle: *He stumbles around trying to get out of the tent* What is it?

Cheddar: *Darling trots towards Cheddar and stops to see if Vitali's following. She whinnies again, sounding worried. Cheddar's lying face down on the ground and it looks like she's halfway in the stream not moving. Darling neighs again*

Kelle: *He pokes his head out of the tent, then runs over to her* Cheddar!

Cheddar: *She doesn't respond but her face isn't in the water too much and she can probably still breathe. Darling follows him quickly sniffing him*

Kelle: *He grabs her and pulls her away from the stream* Cheddar, wake up!

Cheddar: *She groans, mumbling* Wha...

Kelle: Are you okay? *He pulls her close to him and starts looking her over*

Cheddar: *She nods, still mumbling* I was sleep... Dreaming of swimming... *She smiles then frowns* Why am I wet...?

Kelle: You were almost face down in the stream. Darling woke me up and I found you that way.

Cheddar: Was I? *She smiles* I swear I fell asleep out of the stream...

Kelle: *He nods* That's how I found you. I thought you had....

Cheddar: Hey, I'm okay. *She smiles and wraps an arm around him* Thank you for saving someone who was almost in great danger but wasn't quite there but was very nearly there my beautiful bat prince charming.

Kelle: *He smiles a little bit* You're welcome. So....you aren't angry with me anymore?

Cheddar: *She shakes her head and kisses him* Hey, I love you.

Kelle: I love you too. *He kisses her back and shivers a little*

Cheddar: Hey why are you shivering, my little chihuahua? *She smiles and wraps her arms around him*

Kelle: Your what?

Cheddar: My little chihuahua. *She giggles* Are you going to escort a lady to cuddles?

Kelle: *He wraps his arms around her and keeps shivering. His eyes are dull blue*

Cheddar: *She sighs and frowns* Oh... *She holds him up and leads him to the tent, lying him down and smiling* I'll watch over you, okay?

Kelle: What? What's wrong? *He lets her lead him back to the tent*

Cheddar: The silver is getting to you. *She sighs* I'll stay up and watch over you, okay?

Kelle: Oh. You don't have to. I've put you through enough today.

Cheddar: *She shakes her head* I promise I'm okay. You can rest, I'll wait. *She smiles* Promise. I'll be okay. I'll be right here too, waiting for you to wake up okay?

Kelle: *He sighs and curls up in a blanket* Okay. I'll try.

Cheddar: *She smiles* Thank you baby. *She kisses him on his forehead and purrs* Goodnight.

Kelle: *He nods slowly and closes his eyes, quickly drifting off to sleep*

Cheddar: *She waits until he's asleep and crawls out of the tent, going back to the stream and sitting in there. She pulls out a dagger and cuts into her leg, letting the blood wash away from her leg. She quickly bandages it and goes back into the tent, pulling her knees to her chest and resting her head on them, starting to cry quietly*

Israphel: Yeah, it is. I'm hoping I'll be better soon. I hate not moving.

Kelle: I know that feeling. How about your legs? *She scoots down the bed to adjust his pillows*

Israphel: *he chuckles* They're getting better too.

Kelle: That's great. We're you trying to get up earlier?

Israphel: Yeah.

Kelle: *She frowns* Why?

Israphel: Just cause.

Kelle: Did you need to use the bathroom or something?

Israphel: No, no.

Kelle: You need something? *She goes back to sitting by him*

Israphel: Nope.

Kelle: Okay then why we're you getting up earlier?

Israphel: Like I said before, just 'cause.

Kelle: That's one of your worst excuses.

Israphel: I know.

Kelle: So.....I have good news.

Israphel: Oh?

Kelle: The bathroom is the same. Matt didn't turn everything in there pink.

Israphel: *He chuckles* That is good news.

Kelle: Mhm, we don't have to remodel in there.

Israphel: Less to steal.

Kelle: Less work too. *Her stomach growls*

Israphel: *He frowns* Hungry?

Kelle: Yeah. It's been a while since I ate.

Israphel: We can go get you something to eat.

Kelle: I can go get it myself, Issy. You still need to rest.

Israphel: *He huffs*

Kelle: What was that for?

Israphel: Nothing.

Kelle: You don't want me to go by myself?

Israphel: Of course not.

Kelle: But...do you think you can handle it?

Israphel: No idea.

Kelle: Do you want to try?

Israphel: I don't know.

Kelle: Well do you want to come with me? *She starts to get up*

Israphel: Yeah.

Kelle: Alright, come on. *She holds a hand out for him*

Kelle has joined us.

Israphel: *he takes her hand and starts to get up*

Kelle: *She starts to pull him up slowly*

Israphel: *He gets to a standing position, smiling at the fact he's able to stand*

Kelle: *She sees him smile and smiles back, then starts to lead him again*

Israphel: *He seems to be able to walk a little bit better*

Kelle: *She leads him over to the door and opens it* You want a shirt before we go?

Israphel: Eh, I'd rather we just get there and back quickly.

Kelle: *She nods and walks away a bit* Sounds good.

Israphel: *He walks behind, seeming to be a bit distracted*

Kelle: You okay? *She goes back and leads him again*

Israphel: Hmm? Yeah.

Kelle: You seem a bit distracted.

Israphel: Nah, I'm fine.

Kelle: *She nods and leads him to the staircase* Don't push yourself. Okay?

Israphel: If anything I'd trip myself. *He pauses* That was a bad joke.

Kelle: Yeah. Don't fall down the stairs, please.

Israphel: Not planning on it.

Kelle: I hope so. *She walks down the stairs ahead of him*

Israphel: *He walks down the stairs slowly, seeming to get distracted again*

Kelle: *She keeps leading him slowly and waits for him when she reaches the bottom*

Israphel: *He gets to the bottom and nods at her, still somewhat out of it*

Kelle: *She smiles and slowly walks toward the kitchen, a tiny bit ahead of him*

Israphel: *he opens his mouth to say something, but continues on in silence instead*

Kelle: *She doesn't see him open his mouth and keeps on going, opening the doors when she gets there*

Israphel: *He Silently follows behind, trying to smile at her if she looks over*

Kelle: *She leads him over to the kitchen table* Sit. You need to get off your feet.

Israphel: *He rolls his eyes* I'm fine.

Kelle: Please just sit. Please?

Israphel: *He huffs but does as he's told*

Kelle: *She smiles and goes to rummage through the pantry for something to eat*

Israphel: We might not have much.

Kelle: What makes you say that?

Israphel: The fact that most of the people that live here don't eat normal food, if any food at all.

Kelle: *She calls back from the pantry* Well someone is keeping it well stocked with normal food.

Israphel: Probably because you're here.

Kelle: It's probably John or ZB. Or both of them. Besides, it's only four people that eat strange stuff.

Israphel: And how many people are in this castle?

Kelle: Uh....not counting the kids, there's...eight? I think?

Israphel: So half of the people eat strange stuff.

Kelle: It doesn't gross me out as much as it did before. *She still rummages around* Are there others here besides the eight?

Israphel: Of course. I have thousands and thousands of minions. Not many are trusted enough to be in the castle though.

Kelle: I didn't realize you had thousands. *She comes out with everything to make a sandwich* Why don't you have more people here?

Israphel: People are horrible. Especially humans.

Kelle: People aren't that bad. Right?

Israphel: Yes they are. People are so sick and twisted, it's almost sad how you defend them so.

Kelle: Okay, let me change that to most people aren't that bad. I think I know how bad people can be, Issy.

Israphel: Yes you do. So you should know that a majority of people are simply horrible.

Kelle: A lot of people are but not everyone. Do you have mostly human followers?

Israphel: It's a mix. I tend to turn most of my followers. Gives them less to live for. Less reason to want to revolt.

Kelle: Turn them to what? Zombies like John and ZB? Vampires? *She goes about making a sandwich*

Israphel: All of the above.

Kelle: Really? How do you even manage to turn them?

Israphel: That's a secret.

Kelle: Aww why can't I know?

Israphel: Because it's a secrett!

Kelle: Why can't I be in on the secret?

Israphel: Because then it wouldn't be much of a secret. I'm sure John would /love/ to tell you about how he was turned. *He attempts to hide a smirk*

Kelle: *She sees his smirk* What's with the look? Now you've got me curious.

Israphel: Let's just say he use to be a very rubbish fighter.

Kelle: John as a bad fighter? Come on, you're joking.

Israphel: I wish I was.

Kelle: Well now you've got to tell me the story. *She brings her plate over with multiple sandwiches on it* I'm even more curious.

Israphel: He was against the heroes themselves.

Kelle: So he was against them before he even met you?

Israphel: Oh no, he knew me. He was fighting for me.

Kelle: Okay, so....you and John knew each other before the heroes came along and he was working for you then.

Israphel: Mmm.

Kelle: Tell me the story. Please? *She makes puppy dog eyes at him*

Israphel: Nope nope nope. I've already said too much.

Kelle: Pretty please?

Israphel: Nope.

Kelle: *She pouts and whines, making sad eyes*

Israphel: Nope nope nope.

Kelle: Why can't you tell me?

Israphel: I've got to let John tell you.

Kelle: What, is it better hearing it from him?

Kelle: You could call him up here.

Israphel: *He chuckles* I'm hoping it's going to be horribly embarrassing for him.

Kelle: Can we call him?

Israphel: If you'd like.

Kelle: Really? *Her face lights up and she's halfway through her food*

Israphel: *He smiles* Yeah.

Kelle: *She instantly starts coming John* What is it? Did Israphel fall?

Israphel: *He rolls his eyes*

Kelle: Well did he? *She giggles at Israphel* No but can you come down to the kitchen? Please?

Kelle: *He's stretched out in the hay sleeping. Discord isn't at the post anymore*

Cheddar: *She snuggles up to Vitali more, smiling in her sleep and holding into him*

Kelle: *He's snoring loudly, possibly loud enough for her to hear him*

Cheddar: *She covers his mouth and tries to shut him up*

Kelle: *He keeps snoring loudly, sprawled out on his back and moving his wings around*

Cheddar: *She groans and reluctantly gets up, stretching and walking out of the stall*

Kelle: *He snores more. There's an overturned, half eaten haystack and a bag of apples is missing*

Cheddar: *She frowns and whistles a little, checking the stalls*

Kelle: *The post has a frayed, broken rope hanging from it and Discord isn't there*

Cheddar: *She growls at the post and shouts* DISCORD!

Kelle: *Vitali jumps awake and hisses a little* What's with the shouting?

Cheddar: *She shouts again, sniffing around* Your fucking horse!

Kelle: What did he do? *He slowly gets up and stretches*

Cheddar: I'm hoping he's run off! *She walks over to the post and sniffs around from there*

Kelle: Oh come on. He's not a bad horse, he's just stubborn. *Discord's scent should go straight back into the stables*

Cheddar: *She goes back into the stables, hissing* He's a fucking arse.

Kelle: *He frowns at her. Discord's scent goes to the hay and apple bags, then towards the back end of the stables where the storage is*

Cheddar: I swear to god this horse Vitali. I swear. *She goes into the storage, pushing the door open*

Kelle: *Discord is back there trying to get into a water container, biting at the corner* Look, he's right there. He's just thirsty.

Cheddar: *She grabs Discords bridle and drags him away from the container* What is your problem?

Kelle: *Discord neighs and bites down on the container, dragging it with him*

Cheddar: *She glares at him and drags him back to the pole holding him there* Vitali can you get me a metal chain?

Kelle: Cheddar, don't you think this is a bit unreasonable? *Discord keeps nibbling on the container, trying to open it*

Cheddar: No, if he's going to act like an ass, I'm going to treat him like one.

Kelle: He was just hungry and thirsty.

Cheddar: He's also an ass. The whole point of this to to get him to realise if he's going to be a dick he's going to get punished.

Kelle: He hasn't been acting up that much to deserve that. Come on. *ZB's horse starts neighing*

Cheddar: Vitali he's being a twaaaaaat!

Kelle: He's not being mean and he isn't hurting anyone. *ZB's horse neighs again and Discord neighs back*

Cheddar: He needs to be taught a lesson though...

Kelle: If he acts mean, then do it but I don't see much point right now.

Cheddar: *She huffs and holds out the lead for Vitali, looking away from them both* Take your ass.

Kelle: Oh stop that. *He walks Discord back to his stall and gets a nibble from him*

Cheddar: *She rolls her eyes and follows him, Darling snaps at Discord and whinnies*

Kelle: *Discord flattens his ears and snorts at her*

Cheddar: Vitali, do you see what I mean?! *Darling goes to bite his ear again, neighing*

Kelle: *Discord lets out a high pitched whinny and tries to move away. ZB's horse neighs at Darling* He's not being mean. Alright?

Cheddar: *She huffs and starts to saddle up Darling* I'm taking her out for a bit. *She slips a bridle on her and starts to lead her away*

Kelle: Do you want me to come with you? *Discord starts nuzzling his hair*

Cheddar: I'm good. Stay with your number one fan. *She mounts Darling and runs through the castle to the portal*

Kelle: *He sighs and puts Discord back in his stall* Be good.

Cheddar: *She goes to a cliff overlooking the town and stops Darling there. She grins and pats Darling's neck* Good girl.

Kelle: *Discord keeps nibbling his hair* Hey stop that.

Cheddar: *She sniffs the air, frowning a little when she doesn't smell Vitali and hesitates before carrying on past the town* He's giving me my space, he can do that.

Kelle: *He fills up Discord's trough with water*

Cheddar: *She stops Darling and coms Vitali* Uh... Do you want to join me?

Kelle: Are you sure? I thought you didn't want me to come.

Cheddar: *She mumbles something to him*

Kelle: What was that? Discord is smelling my hair right now.

Cheddar: I miss you.

Kelle: *He chuckles* I'll be right there. Give me a few minutes, love.

Cheddar: Okay. I'm a mile away on the other side of town. *She smiles a little*

Kelle: I'll be there soon, love.

Cheddar: Okay. *She walks around in circles on Darling*

Kelle: *He saddles Discord up and rides him out of the stable and toward the portal* On my way!

Cheddar: I'm waiting for you.

Kelle: *He shows up a few minutes later on Discord* I'm here, love!

Cheddar: *She smiles at him and moves closer, leaning over and kissing him* Hi.

Kelle: I made it over here. *Discord neighs at her*

Cheddar: *She smiles and ignores Discord, she kisses Vitali again and smiles*

Kelle: *He smiles at her and kisses her. Discord snorts when Cheddar ignores him*

Cheddar: *She has to move Darling closer so she can wrap her arm around him and kisses him deeply*

Kelle: Are you feeling better? *He kisses her back. Discord nickers at Darling*

Cheddar: *She nods and smiles* Yes, much better. *She rubs noses with him and smiles. Darling turns her head away from Discord, stamping her foot a little*

Kelle: *He chuckles and smiles at her, nodding. Discord nickers sadly at Darling*

Cheddar: *She kisses his nose then moves Darling away a little. Darling looks at Discord briefly then looks ahead* I know a really quiet place if you want to go? Or we can head back, get Jack and the camping stuff then I'll take you there?

Kelle: We can go get Jack if you want. I need to leave a note for John though.

Cheddar: *She nods* Okay, lets go back then I'll show you the place. *She smiles and turns Darling around, Darling flicks Discord playfully with her tail before Cheddar sets off towards the portal*

Kelle: *Discord nickers at Darling and Vitali has him follow Cheddar*

Cheddar: *She dismounts Darling as she gets to the portal, tying Darling up to a low branch then heading into the portal*

Kelle: *He ties Discord up with Darling and follows after her*

Cheddar: *She runs all the way to the room, her leg clearly looking much better*

Kelle: *He flies after her into the room* What do we need to pack?

Cheddar: Blankets, pillows, caramel, blood, my old tent... That's about it. *She smiles and goes into the coffin room, grabbing her empty bag and starting to put blood and caramel in it*

Kelle: I can get blankets and pillows. I can do that!

Cheddar: *She giggles at him* Get Jack too. *She finishes putting the other things in the bag and shoves her sketchbook in there, closing it and putting it on her back. She picks up her old tent and waits for him to come back*

Kelle: I'll get him. Hold on! *He tosses a bunch of blankets and pillows towards her, then runs off to John to get Jack*

Cheddar: *She giggles and stuffs the blankets and pillows in with the tent, running out after him and dragging the tent behind her*

Kelle: *He goes into John's room* Alright, what do you want Vitali?

Cheddar: *Cheddar appears behing him a moment later* Hi John!

Kelle: Yes, hello. What do you two need?

Cheddar: Jack and Budderball?

Kelle: Do you want them?

Cheddar: Please.

Kelle: *He nods at the bed* They're both on the bed.

Cheddar: *She smiles* Thank you John. *She hands Vitali the tent bag and smiles, going to get Jack and Budderball*

Kelle: *He takes the bag and John gives him a look* What is all of that for?

Cheddar: *She comes out carrying Jack in one arm and Budderball sat on Jack's chest* We're going camping. Vitali can explain, I'm sure.

Kelle: Camping? *John raises an eyebrow at him* Cheddar needs to get out for a little while. We won't be gone too long.

Cheddar: *She nods and smiles at him* I have issues.

Kelle: As long as you both keep your coms on, you're fine.

Cheddar: *She nods and whispers to Jack. Jack waves at John* Bah Gandpa Juh! See soon!

Kelle: Be careful, you two. And give me updates, alright?

Cheddar: *She nods* Promise. See you soon.

Kelle: *John nods at them. Vitali follows her out with the bag*

Cheddar: *She runs back to the horses and stops, watching them. Darling has her head over Discord's neck and has her eyes closed*

Kelle: *Discord snorts when he sees Cheddar* Are they behaving?

Cheddar: I think so. *Darling hears them and quickly lifts her head up, moving away from Discord and neighing*

Kelle: So where are we going?

Cheddar: I'll show you. *She smiles, jumping on Darling and sitting Jack between her legs in front of her* Jack hold onto there, tightly. *Jack nods and does what he's told. She carefully puts Budderball in her bag and starts to head off*

Kelle: *He hops onto Discord and follows after her* I really hope it doesn't snow during this.

Cheddar: I doubt it will. *She smiles. Jack's squealing and giggling at the ride on the horse*

Kelle: Sounds like Jack is already enjoying himself.

Cheddar: I think he loves it a lot.

Kelle: You never said where we were going.

Cheddar: It's a surprise.

Kelle: Can I at least know where it is? Please?

Cheddar: Nope. *She grins and speeds up* Come on!

Kelle: *He moves Discord into a run and follows after her*

Cheddar: *She slows down near a river and carefully walks Darling through it* Follow my exact path.

Kelle: *He nods and slows Discord down, making him walk through it*

Cheddar: *She reaches the other side and walks up the river bank*

Kelle: *Discord trots after her and nickers*

Cheddar: *She reaches a little cave and leads Darling through it* Come on. Just a little further. *Jack shrieks at the dark*

Kelle: Jack, it's okay. *Discord keeps trotting after her* Things aren't going to jump out at us, are they?

Cheddar: No, it's fine. *She smiles and slows down as the cave starts to slope a little*

Kelle: *He chuckles* I was only kidding.

Cheddar: *There's another opening as the ground levels out a little. She leads him through the opening and grins. There's a large circular field surrounded by massive rocks and theres a thick canopy over the top of it. It's basically a small jungle in there but with no dangerous animals* Well?

Kelle: This looks....well it looks wonderful. Is there fresh water near here?

Cheddar: *She nods and points to a stream* There. This is where I used to live. *She gets off Darling and takes the bridle and saddle off her. Jack jumps onto Cheddar's head and Darling trots off to the stream, drinking from it*

Kelle: *He hops off of Discord and does the same with him, nudging him over to Darling* You lived here?

Cheddar: Yep. After everything happened I found this place after months of living on the streets. I lived here for another year or so before I had to move on.

Kelle: Why did you move on?

Cheddar: People came looking for me. They were going to kill me.

Kelle: Matt and his people?

Cheddar: No, different people. Vincent was part of them at the time.

Kelle: Vin- oh him. What did they want from you?

Cheddar: I took all the money they had on them after I'd uh... Y'know... And they wanted my blood.

Kelle: *He chuckles* Were you able to get away from them alright?

Cheddar: They did catch me, but I managed to get away after they were finished and passed out.

Kelle: After they were finished?

Cheddar: Do you want me to tell you?

Kelle: Only if you want to. We can talk while we set the tent up.

Israphel: *He stands and immediately starts to wobble* fuck.

Kelle: *She supports him with a gentle hand on his side* It's okay.

Cheddar: *She nods, waiting for him to open the tent* Well... They used me for what they wanted. You can probably guess what. And cut me, so when they were done I got out and ran as best I could.

Kelle: *He grabs the tent and opens it up* I'm sorry about that, love.

Cheddar: It's fine. Honestly, I ran into them a few months later and they wolf whistled at me. I led them into an alleyway and beat the shit out of them. *She giggles as she starts to put the tent up*

Kelle: *He chuckles and helps her with the tent* Nice.

Cheddar: *She giggles, and puts the tent up with him then starts to put the blankets and pillows in* We're safe in here because we can let Jack run around and he can't get out.

Kelle: He can't get out?

Cheddar: This place is pretty much sealed. *She points at the rocks that are around twelve ft high* The canopy has sealed around the edge like a top and its way too thick for Jack to get out. Plus I doubt he could even climb that high. And the entrance we came through has a thick vined cover I made so nothing could get in or out. He's good. *She smiles*

Kelle: That makes me feel better. Is that why you picked this place?

Cheddar: *She nods* It's nice, secluded and secure. Also only we know about this place. *She smiles as she finishes putting the blankets in the tent* There, done.

Kelle: Perfect! What now?

Cheddar: Well... *She looks over at the stream and notices Jack's busy with Budderball and mud* We could have a little alone time?

Kelle: You mean sex. *He chuckles a little*

Cheddar: I mean sex. *She smiles* So... Yes? No?

Kelle: What do you think the answer is?

Cheddar: *She grins and pulls him into the tent, lying under him* Yes.

Kelle: Like this? I thought it bothered you.

Cheddar: If you're careful it won't. *She smiles* I'll be sure to tell you if I feel weird. *She pulls him into a kiss*

Kelle: *He nods and kneels down in front of her* I hope Jack doesn't come in on us.

Cheddar: He won't. He's way too busy with mud. *She smiles and purrs at him* Shall we?

Kelle: *He nods and starts to strip* Of course.

Cheddar: *She smiles and does the same, purring more*

Kelle: *He quickly strips all of his clothes off and waits for her to finish*

Cheddar: *She finishes getting undressed and purrs, pulling him close and kissing him deeply*

Kelle: *He hovers over her, deeply kissing her jawbone and grinding into her hips*

Cheddar: *She moans quietly and wraps her arms around his neck and back*

Kelle: *He roughly grinds into her and nips at her jawbone*

Cheddar: *She bucks her hips a little and pulls him into a deep kiss, running her hands through his hair*

Kelle: *He continues with everything, massaging her side deeply*

Cheddar: *She purrs into the kiss and bucks her hips again, a little more roughly*

Kelle: *He slips his other hand down further, rubbing her roughly*

Cheddar: *She moans loudly and arches her back*

Kelle: *He chuckles and continues* Like it?

Cheddar: *She nods and whines at him*

Kelle: Do you want me to do more?

Cheddar: *She nods, squirming under him*

Kelle: *He starts to get closer to her* You sure?

Cheddar: I'm sure. *She smiles*

Kelle: *He nods and slowly starts to move into her, groaning*

Cheddar: *She gasps and arches her back more, moaning*

Kelle: *He eases into her all the way and starts thrusting slowly, groaning*

Cheddar: *She moans a little louder and shifts a little*

Kelle: *He slowly starts to move faster and deeper*

Cheddar: *She moans, wrapping her legs around his waist and breathing heavily*

Kelle: *He pulls her closer to him and starts moving even faster, groaning*

Cheddar: *She moans loudly and lifts her hips a little, moaning into his neck*

Kelle: Faster?

Cheddar: *She nods a little, breathing heavily*

Kelle: *He starts to move faster, close to pounding into her and moans*

Cheddar: *She pants and lets him, moaning loudly. There's a whinny from close by*

Kelle: *He starts to pound into her, rubbing her side and moaning loudly*

Cheddar: *She moans loudly and pants heavily. The whinny gets closer*

Kelle: *He keeps going, getting close to finishing*

Cheddar: *She moans loudly, arching her back and lifting her hips a little. There's sniffing outside the tent*

Kelle: *He pushes in hard and comes, moaning loudly*

Cheddar: *She moans and closes her eyes, purring happily. Darling sticks her head in the tent and sniffs a little, then starts licking Vitali's back*

Kelle: *He shrieks in surprise and rolls off of Cheddar, flailing in surprise*

Cheddar: *Darling whinnies and stomps her foot. Cheddar shrieks and covers herself quickly* Darling! Out! Now! NOW! *Darling backs out and neighs as she trots off*

Kelle: *He keeps flailing and Discord makes a laughing type whinny at Darling*

Cheddar: *She giggles at Vitali and tries to calm him down* Hey, she's gone! *Darling whinnies back at Discord outside*

Cheddar: *She laughs* It's a horse, she's not going to feel nice.

Kelle: *He tries to clean his back* That felt gross.

Cheddar: *She giggles* I think your reaction was pretty funny.

Kelle: Was it? I was still slightly out of it when she did that.

Cheddar: You started shrieking and wouldn't stop. It was very funny.

Kelle: *He frowns* I didn't do that.

Cheddar: You totally did.

Kelle: *He frowns* No, I didn't.

Cheddar: *She giggles* Fine, you didn't.

Kelle: Thank you. *He finishes cleaning up his back* Now I'm all sticky.

Cheddar: *She purrs and giggles* Why would that be?

Kelle: No, it's...*He facepalms* Oh good lord.

Cheddar: *She giggles and kisses him, moving close to him* I love you baby.

Kelle: I know you do. *He chuckles at her*

Cheddar: *She purrs and Darling sticks her head in again, licking Vitali's leg*

Kelle: *He shrieks again, pulling his legs in* Stop that!

Cheddar: *She giggles* You shrieked again! *Darling whinnies and snorts a little, backing up out of the tent again*

Kelle: *He frowns at her, then looks at Darling* Will you stop that?

Cheddar: *Darling whinnies from outside and stomps her foot. There's a shriek from Jack and a thud outside the tent*

Kelle: *He looks up and grabs a blanket to cover himself* Jack?!

Cheddar: *Jack giggles from outside and shrieks* Again! Again!

Kelle: *He stumbles out from the tent and looks around for Jack*

Cheddar: *Jack's climbing about on Discord, grinning*

Kelle: *Discord is rearing up a tiny bit with Jack on his back* Discord, careful.

Cheddar: *Jack rolls off Discord's back, shrieking again and giggling when he hits the floor. Cheddar looks at Vitali from inside the tent* What's going on?

Kelle: *He chuckles* Jack and Discord are playing.

Cheddar: He better not be hurting him!

Kelle: He's not. I think Jack has been climbing up onto his back and Discord is rearing just enough so his back acts like a slide.

Cheddar: *She frowns a little* Is that safe for him.

Kelle: I think so. He looks like he's having fun. *Discord brings his head down to Jack's level*

Cheddar: *Jack giggles and climbs up Discord's neck, giggling to himself* If you're sure. *She smiles a little and snuggles up against him*

Kelle: You can stick your head out and see for yourself if you want. *Discord nudges Jack's bum and helps him up*

Cheddar: *Jack giggles and rolls onto Discord's back, shrieking again when he's ready. Cheddar watches them for a minute*

Kelle: *Discord does a tiny little hop so he rears up a bit, looking back at Jack the whole time*

Cheddar: *Jack shrieks and rolls off Discord's back, giggling when he hits the floor. Darling is watching them, she's lay on the floor with Budderball on her head* Okay, they're fine. *She lies back next to Vitali and smiles*

Kelle: I told you they would be fine. *He chuckles and goes back into the tent. Discord sniffs Jack gently*

Kelle: What did I do? *Discord snorts at Jack*

Cheddar: Shush... *She kisses him deeply, pulling him closer and purring*

Kelle: *He kisses her back* What?

Israphel: Maybe if my legs weren't broken this would be easier.

Cheddar: *Jack lets go and curls up on the floor, squeaking quietly* Will you just be quiet and kiss me?

Kelle: Maybe CB should carry you.

Kelle: What happens if I don't? *He smirks a little. Discord slowly starts to lay down next to Jack*

Cheddar: Then I'll take all the blankets and you can sleep outside. *She grins back at him. Jack curls up next to Discord and holds onto his leg*

Kelle: What? *He kisses her a few times. Discord rests his head near Jack and nickers*

Cheddar: *She kisses him deeply and wraps her arms around him, starting to drift off already. Jack falls asleep next to Discord*

Kelle: Are you falling asleep already?

Israphel: Maybe CB shouldn't.

Cheddar: Shhhhh tired...

Kelle: Why not? *She's almost lead him to the top of the stairs*

Kelle: Hey I'm not tired.

Cheddar: But I am... *She yawns loudly at him*

Kelle: Alright, then go to bed. Maybe we can hunt tomorrow.

Cheddar: *She purrs* I'll wake you up... *She curls up next to him and clings to him* But you have to sleep...

Kelle: Me? I'm not tired.

Cheddar: I'll... Wake you... Up... *She falls asleep and wraps herself around him, purring. Outside Darling has moved over to Discord and has her head over his back, watching Jack and Budderball sleep*

Cheddar: *She yelps as she wakes up and curls straight back up, pretending she didn’t wake up*

Kelle: *He opens up one eye and looks at her* Are you okay?

Kelle: *She's completely out and half laying on top of Israphel with her legs intertwined with his*

Cheddar: *She doesn't answer him, wanting him to go back to sleep*

Kelle: Cheddar, I know you're awake. I heard you just now.

Cheddar: *She curls up more, not wanting to say anything and snores a little as she moves*

Israphel: *He purrs, slightly moving under kelle, basically using her as a blanket*

Kelle: *He sighs and kisses her nose, then blows a light raspberry on her neck*

Cheddar: *She tries not to smile, snuggling against him*

Kelle: *She's curled up on top of him with her arms wrapped around him and pressing her hips up against his, mumbling from a dream*

Kelle: *He pauses, then blows another raspberry on her neck*

Cheddar: *She pushes his face away and whines a little*

Kelle: *He whines at her and puts on a sad, pouting face if she opens her eyes*

Israphel: *He purrs a bit louder, thinking he hears her*

Cheddar: *She rolls onto her back and smiles a little*

Kelle: *She suddenly snorts loudly in her sleep, possibly enough for him to hear her*

Kelle: *He gently starts massaging her shoulder when she smiles*

Cheddar: *She leans into his hand a little and purrs quietly*

Israphel: *He hears her and wakes up, confused* Wh- *He immediately shuts up, noticing their position. *

Kelle: *He chuckles softly and keeps massaging her shoulder* Come on, I know you're awake.

Cheddar: *She purrs more and snuggles up against him more*

Kelle: *She snorts loudly again and starts snoring, not moving from where she's at*

Kelle: *He shakes his head and calls out softly for Jack* Jack? Buddy, are you awake?

Cheddar: *She purrs more and snuggles up against him more*

Kelle: *She snorts loudly again and starts snoring, not moving from where she's at*

Kelle: *He shakes his head and calls out softly for Jack* Jack? Buddy, are you awake?

Cheddar: *Jack drops from the ceiling and lands on the couch next to them, squeaking*

Kelle: *He jumps in surprise* Jack, why didn't you stay with CB?

Cheddar: CB sweepy. Me no sweepy.

Kelle: Next time, stay with him until your mother or I get you.

Cheddar: *Jack nods and starts to go back to CB, hiding under the bed quickly and poking his head out*

Kelle: *He chuckles and pats the spot next to him* Alright, good job. Now come over here.

Cheddar: *Jack squeaks and crawls back over, climbing on the couch and squeaking*

Kelle: Good job, bud. Thank you for listening.

Israphel: *He simply watches her, smiling *

Cheddar: *Jack grins at him and squeals, flapping his wings happily. Cheddar mumbles quietly in her sleep*

Kelle: *She curls up more, pressing her hips against him in the process and mumbles again*

Kelle: *He chuckles and ruffles Jack's hair* Are you hungry?

Cheddar: *Jack nods and makes grabby hands* Foo! Foo! FOO!

Kelle: Jack, quiet! Kelle is still sleeping. *He picks Jack up and walks into the coffin room*

Israphel: *He lets out a small purr, but stops himself, attempting to hear what she's mumbling*

Cheddar: *Cheddar opens her eye and watches them walk into there, she quickly gets up and makes her way out of the room. Jack giggles and makes grabby hands*

Kelle: *She mostly mumbles incoherently, his name being in there a few times and she smiles in her sleep*

Kelle: *He pauses, thinking he heard someone get up from the other room* Quiet, Jack.

Cheddar: *Jack nods and waits for him, watching him closely. Cheddar's made her way down the hall and struggled down the stairs*

Israphel: *He frowns hearing his name* Very uninteresting dream.

Kelle: *He pokes his head out of the room and frowns when Cheddar isn't there. He goes over to the bed, sticks his head underneath, and pokes CB awake* Watch the twins.

Kelle: *She mumbles his name again and nuzzles his chest*

Cheddar: *She keeps going, stumbling from the castle and towards the closest portal, she flies through* Just want to go out, isn't that hard. *Jack sits next to CB and hugs him again*

Kelle: Jack, can you stay here with CB and behave for me?

Cheddar: *Jack nods and smiles at Vitali* Yes dad. You be-ave? *Cheddar starts to fly towards the town, landing just outside and walking in as best she can*

Kelle: Yes, I will. Now be good for CB and listen to him. Please?

Cheddar: *Jack nods and sits by CB, playing with his feet. Cheddar sits on a nearby bench and sighs, relaxing*

Israphel: *He sighs* Out of all the things you could dream of.

Kelle: Good. *He starts to walk out of the room and coms Cheddar* Where did you go?

Kelle: *She nuzzles him again, then frowns and tenses up a tiny bit*

Cheddar: *She looks at her com and frowns* I went out... I'm bored in there.

Kelle: You could have told me. I'm worried about you. Why didn't you tell me?

Cheddar: You'd say no. I'm getting panicky being in there.

Kelle: *He pauses* Why are you panicky?

Cheddar: I hate being confined in one space. Being tied up doesn't help either. *She gets up and heads towards the coffee shop*

Kelle: But your leg...you shouldn't be walking on it.

Cheddar: I know. But if I didn't get out I was going to have a meltdown.

Kelle: Do you want me to come join you in case you need help?

Cheddar: If you want. *She smiles a little. She doesn't notice the man watching her* I'll be in the coffee shop.

Kelle: I'm on my way. I'll send John a message and ask him to feed the kids for me. *He starts to fly out of the castle*

Cheddar: Okay. I'll see you there. *She's almost the cafe when the man comes up behind her and drags her down an alley quickly. He drags her away from the town and to a small shed looking house*

Kelle: *He quickly flies to the forest near the town and quickly walks to the coffee shop, frowning when he can't find her. He goes to find her scent and starts to follow it*

Cheddar: *She struggles against him but he gets her pinned down first, grinning at her* Hey boys! Got some more meat for ya! *Two more men come in with meat cleavers and grin*

Kelle: *He starts to get close to where she is and hides, hissing at what he hears the man say*

Cheddar: *Her eyes widen and she struggles more, the two men position the cleaver. One on her shoulder another at the top of her leg. One of them speaks, he's got a very gravelly voice* Stop her screaming, wouldn't want people hearing us. *She starts screaming at that point*

Kelle: *He snarls and screeches, flying down from where he's hiding and slits the throat of one of the men* GET AWAY FROM HER!

Cheddar: *The other men jump in surprise both shouting at the same time* Vitali?! *One of them speaks up* What do you want with that hunk of meat?

Israphel: *He frowns, feeling her tense up*

Kelle: *He lets out a horrible screech and shows his fangs, aggressively spreading his wings* That's none of your concern! Get the hell away from her or you both die!

Kelle: *She whimpers and mumbles his name again, then starts to move about a little*

Cheddar: *Cheddar quickly moves behind him, watching both the men* But-But she's just a piece of meat! Just let us use her for our pies, we'll give you the blood if you want it.

Kelle: *He glances over his shoulder at her* Leave and go home, right now! *He turns back to the men and snarls again* I don't think so! Get out of my sight before I decide to drain you both! And never come near her again!

Cheddar: *She sighs and walks out, wiping her eyes. She looks back before flying into the forest and hiding somewhere, covering her scent. The two men run out of the back door, dropping the cleavers*

Kelle: *He snarls horribly and chases after them anyway, not wanting to let them escape. He furiously flies after them and screeches*

Cheddar: Dude, didn't he say if we ran he'd leave us? *The other man shrugs* I don't know! Just run you idiot!

Kelle: *He snarls and swoops down onto one of the men, baring his fangs at him* I changed my mind, filth. You're not killing anyone ever again!

Cheddar: *He screams* HELP ME! DUDE HELP! *The other mans already running off, screaming as he does*

Israphel: Kelle, are you having a night terror?

Kelle: *He screeches, his eyes scarlet red and slits the man's throat* Go to sleep, you piece of shit!

Kelle: *She tenses up and suddenly screams, calling out his name a few times*

Cheddar: *The man shakes as he chokes on his own blood then goes limp, his eyes rolling back in his head. The other man is trying to hide behind a tree, hoping he won't be seen*

Kelle: *He pulls out a small knife and walks away from the corpse, tracking the other man's scent* You really think you can hide from me?

Cheddar: *He keeps running, hiding behind trees as he goes*

Kelle: *He keeps following the man's scent, laughing just to scare him* I can hear you moving about and I can smell you. You may as well come out. I know exactly where you are.

Cheddar: *The man isn't listening to him, focusing on running as fast as he can*

Kelle: *He laughs and flies after the man, quickly plowing into him and pinning him down* So you and your pitiful excuses for friends thought you had the right to kill her, didn't you?

Cheddar: *He struggles* Come on! We needed the meat! Do you know how expensive meat is?!

Kelle: Then go hunt or raise your own livestock! The three of you will never touch her! *He holds the knife to his throat, then moves it away and goes to sink his fangs into his neck*

Cheddar: *The man screams and they die off as his blood blocks his airways, just a gurgle coming out. Cheddar's sitting still in the tree, being silent and making sure her scents covered. Just wanting to stay outside*

Israphel: *He attempts to calm her, hugging her a bit tighter* Shh, Kelle, it's me. It's just a dream.

Kelle: *He waits until he's dead, then flies back to Cheddar with his hands covered in blood* Are you okay?!

Cheddar: *She huffs at her scent covering not working* Fine. *She sees the blood and closes her eyes* I'm fine.

Kelle: *She screams again and starts to thrash a little* N-No!.....No no! Issy!

Kelle: *He hugs her with his wings, not wanting to cover her in blood* They were going to kill you! I'm sorry! If I had gotten here any later...

Cheddar: I'm fine, Vitali! I'm okay! *She curls up and looks down at the ground from the tree*

Kelle: I know but...I'm sorry. I feel like this was my fault somehow.

Israphel: Woah, woah, Kelle! Calm down, please! *He reaches and grabs her hand, holding it*

Cheddar: It's fine, none of this is your fault. This is my fault for coming outside when I was injured. For not watching out for myself. For being me. None of this is your fault. This is me because I wanted to go outside.

Kelle: *She screams more and suddenly jolts awake, looking around all terrified*

Kelle: *He holds onto her tightly and shakes a little* I almost lost you!

Cheddar: *She leans into him and wraps her arms around him* Shhh... Shhhh... It's okay.

Kelle: *He keeps shaking* I'm sorry I didn't get here fast enough.

Cheddar: *She sighs and kisses his cheek* Let's just go home.

Kelle: *He nods slowly* I need to clean this blood off of my hands.

Cheddar: *She nods and carefully gets down from the tree, wiping her face and hiding in her hair whilst she waits for him*

Kelle: *He hops down from the tree and keeps close to her* Let's get going.

Cheddar: *She follows behind him, looking down and dragging her leg behind her a little*

Kelle: Do you want me to carry you? *He slows down for her*

Cheddar: I'm fine.

Israphel: Kelle! Are you okay?

Kelle: Would you mind if I picked you up anyway? Please, love?

Cheddar: I don't mind. *She stops and waits for him*

Kelle: Matt! Where is he?! *She clings to him and looks terrified*

Kelle: Hold on. *He cleans his hands off in the snow and scoops her up, flying back to the castle* Are you sure they didn't hurt you?

Cheddar: I'm sure. *She curls up in his arms, hiding her face a little*

Kelle: *He kisses and nuzzles her as he flies them back to the castle*

Cheddar: *She looks over his shoulder, frowning and holding in a whimper as she's taken back inside*

Kelle: *He notices her whimper and frowns* Do you want to stay outside for a little bit?

Cheddar: You'll just say no...

Kelle: You can go if I go with you. John has the kids with him right now. We can go visit the horses if you would like that.

Cheddar: *She shakes her head* Forget it, let’s just go back. It's fine.

Kelle: No, we can go visit the horses. I don't mind. *He smiles at her*

Cheddar: *She shrugs a little and just curls up in his arms*

Kelle: Let's go visit the horses, love. *He kisses her and flies to the stables*

Cheddar: *She stays silent the whole way there and doesn't move much*

Kelle: *He walks in and goes over to Darling and Discord*

Cheddar: *She looks at the horses briefly then sighs and resumes her position*

Kelle: *He frowns* Are you okay, love? Do you want to talk?

Cheddar: *She shrugs and fidgets with her top*

Kelle: Please talk to me, love. I can't help you if I don't know what's bothering you.

Cheddar: *She shrugs again and avoids looking at anyting but her hands*

Kelle: *He hops into Darling's stable and sits down, pulling her into his lap* Please?

Cheddar: *Darling looks at them, getting down onto her knees and resting her head in Cheddar's lap. Cheddar strokes Darling and sighs, mumbling* I don't know...

Israphel: Matt isn't here, Kelle.

Kelle: Well just voice your thoughts to me. I'm here to listen.

Kelle: Are you sure? *She whispers and looks at him with scared eyes*

Cheddar: That was the cheesiest shit I've heard.

Israphel: Yes, I'm sure.

Kelle: *He chuckles* But I mean it. Let it all out.

Kelle: *She nods and clings to him, still laying on top of him and shaking*

Cheddar: I feel trapped... And it's scaring me...

Israphel: Shhhh... It was just a dream.

Kelle: Because you're inside all the time because of you're leg?

Kelle: *She whimpers* He came back and he was torturing you in front of me. It seemed so real.

Cheddar: I miss living outside... I didn't think I would, but I do. *Darling whinnies a little and nuzzles her*

Kelle: Oh....*He gets a little quiet* So...you want to leave again?

Israphel: It wasn't. I promise. It won't ever happen.

Cheddar: No! I just maybe want to live in the forest for a while... With you?

Kelle: I don't know. How can you promise me that?

Kelle: I think that would be alright except I would have to keep my com on at all times in case something happens.

Cheddar: Okay. Can we go tomorrow? We can take the horses with us. *She smiles a little, looking at him*

Kelle: *He nods and kisses her* I'll leave a note with John. Are we taking Jack with us?

Israphel: Okay, you're right. I couldn't promise. But I will do everything I can to avoid it.

Cheddar: *She nods* I'm sure he'd love it. *Darling gets up and sticks her head in her trough, drinking* We'd have to watch him carefully though.

Kelle: *She nods slowly* Do you want me to move?

Kelle: We can do that and I'll take good care of you both. But if something happens here, you know I might have to come back right away.

Cheddar: *She nods* I know. *She smiles and nuzzles him*

Kelle: *He smiles and fixes her hair* We'll need to bring blankets. It's still cold out sometimes.

Cheddar: Or we could just cuddle a lot and maybe... Frick frack? *She smiles*

Kelle: *He chuckles* We can do that. I'm still going to bring plenty of blankets for Jack.

Israphel: I mean, I don't mind. But if you want to you can.

Cheddar: Okay. *She smiles* But we'd have to distract him with Discord and Budderball while we're frick fracking.

Kelle: You really don't mind me laying on top of you like this? It doesn't hurt or it's not...weird?

Kelle: Uh....how would we do that?

Cheddar: Just let him ride Discord around?

Kelle: Is that safe? I mean, Discord won't get startled and run off somewhere?

Cheddar: We can tie him up, plus we'll have Darling there too. He'll be okay. *She nuzzles him again*

Kelle: You're absolutely sure? I just don't want something to accidentally happen to Jack. What if some odd ball person comes along?

Cheddar: Vitali... Do you want to leave him here?

Kelle: No, I don't. I want to bring him but....*He sighs* I guess I'm just a bit protective of him.

Israphel: It hurts a little. But that's okay. And no, it's not really weird.

Cheddar: That's okay to be protective. I can imagine it being even more so if we'd had a girl. *She smiles and kisses him a little*

Kelle: Oh. *She brightens up a bit* If it hurts, I can move a little.

Kelle: What? What does that mean?

Israphel: No, no, no, it's fine.

Cheddar: I'm guessing if we'd have had a girl instead of Jack, you'd be super protective.

Kelle: Okay. *She rests her head on his chest and sighs* How's the head?

Kelle: I would be protective either way. I don't get what you're saying.

Israphel: Eh.

Cheddar: *She shakes her head* It doesn't matter. *Darling spins her head round to them, snorting and spraying water at them. Cheddar squeaks and giggles*

Kelle: Eh? It still hurts?

Israphel: A little.

Kelle: *He blinks, then looks up at Darling* What was that for?

Kelle: Do you want something for it?

Israphel: No, it's not that bad.

Cheddar: *Darling whinnies and licks Vitali's face, making Cheddar laugh*

Kelle: How does this feel? *She moves away from where his incision is and points at it*

Kelle: Oh come on! Why?! *He tries to wipe the slobber off of his face and Discord snorts at Darling*

Cheddar: *Darling neighs and sticks her head in her trough, then turns to them both and sprays them with a lot of water and spit. Cheddar squeals and laughs, wiping her face*

Israphel: *He frowns*i really don't feel it much. As long as nothing's touching it.

Kelle: Hey! I'm going to throw water at you pretty soon! *Discord snorts at Darling again*

Kelle: So it's healing alright? *She debates on if she should look herself*

Cheddar: *Darling flicks him with her mane and looks a Discord, snorting back at him. Cheddar's giggling at him*

Israphel: I'd think so.

Kelle: *Discord snorts and neighs loudly, trying to bump into Darling*

Kelle: Can I look?

Cheddar: *Darling neighs loudly at him, nickering at him*

Israphel: If you want.

Kelle: *Discord leans into the stall and bumps her flank with his nose* What are they doing?

Kelle: *She nods and starts to peel back the gauze*

Cheddar: I think they're fighting. *She giggles. Darling neighs and pulls at Discords mane*

Kelle: *Discord bumps her again, neighing loudly and tries to pull at her tail*

Israphel: *it should be healing fine, the scratch marks fading. There are Somme new scratches, but nowhere near as many as before*

Cheddar: *Darling snorts back at him and bites his ear, trotting in place and flicking her tail a little*

Kelle: Issy, where did these scratches come from?

Kelle: *Discord neighs loudly and flicks his tail in Darling's face* These two act like children.

Israphel: *He answers quickly* I don't know.

Kelle: What? It's your body. How do you not know?

Cheddar: *She giggles and curls up next to Vitali* Then let’s be the adults. *She starts kissing him a little. Darling neighs just as loud back at him and grabs his ear, not letting go and backing into her stall a little*

Israphel: Haven't you ever had that happen? I must have bumped into something or something like that.

Kelle: *He chuckles at them and kisses her back. Discord snorts and tries to pull away*

Kelle: Random scratches appearing near a wound? Not really.

Israphel: Well it happens.

Kelle: That's weird, Issy.

Israphel: You're weird.

Cheddar: *She wraps her arms around his neck. Darling tugs more and whinnies at him, pulling his head more*

Kelle: *She gasps* I'm hurt now, Issy.

Kelle: *Discord lets out a high pitched whinny. Vitali chuckles* Look at Kelle's horse. She looks pissed. *Kelle's horse is staring down Discord*

Israphel: *He smirks* are you now?

Cheddar: *She giggles* I think the horses find Discord a little annoying, especially the ladies. *Darling pulls once more then lets go, snapping at Discord and neighing loudly*

Kelle: Yup! How can you say I'm weird? *She pouts at him*

Kelle: *Discord flattens his ears against his head and Kelle's horse starts to neigh loudly* He is being noisy.

Israphel: *He smiles, glad for the topic change* because you are, my friend.

Cheddar: *She giggles* I think we need to quieten them down. *She gets up, shushing Darling and Discord. She brings Vitali to Kelle's horse and tries to quieten them*

Kelle: Okay then. Why?

Israphel: Just because.

Kelle: What am I supposed to do? *Discord keeps neighing loudly and tosses his head. ZB's horse starts to tell him off* Oh stop it, all of you.

Kelle: Well then you're weird. You can play the kazoo.

Cheddar: *She giggles and holds up an apple* The quietest gets the apple. So you all shut up now!

Israphel: Everyone can play the kazoo!

Kelle: *Discord is the only one that neighs* Oh great.

Kelle: I can't. I can't play any instruments.

Cheddar: *She walks over to Discord and smacks his muzzle* Be quiet you little shit!

Israphel: It's a kazoo, how can you not play it?

Kelle: *Discord snorts in her face* Hey, be nice to her!

Kelle: Well I can't. I sound like some dying animal. It's awful.

Cheddar: *She huffs and grabs a bridle, putting it on Discord and smiling* I know how much you love the post. Let's go there.

Israphel: That's usually what a kazoo sounds like anyway.

Kelle: *Discord instantly moves away from her and shows her his rump*

Kelle: Well you probably make it sound like a harp or something.

Cheddar: *She huffs and starts to drag him out, changing so she can do it easier* You're wasting your time, Discord! *She drags him all the way outside and ties him to the pole tightly*

Israphel: Once again, it's a kazoo. Not much you can do to make it sound better.

Kelle: *Discord stamps his hooves, clearly upset and swishes his tail right into Cheddar's face* I don't think that works on him.

Kelle: I don't know. You make chocolate chip cookies taste like heaven so...

Cheddar: *She rolls her eyes* He's not to move from there for a week. No food. No water. Just a pole. *She starts to walk away, going back to the stables*

Israphel: Yeah but that has a different recipe.

Kelle: A week? Is that even healthy for a horse? *He follows her*

Kelle: You have a special recipe for making cookies?

Cheddar: Yes it is. He'll be fine. He'll come off there thirsty and hungry, nothing more. *She stumbles into the empty stall in the stables and curls up in the hay*

Kelle: *He follows and flops down into the hay. Outside Discord is nibbling at the rope quietly* I'm not sure if that will make a difference. I think I got a stubborn horse.

Cheddar: I think you did too. *She snuggles up next to him*

Kelle: Oh well. I still like him. *He stretches out in the hay*

Cheddar: *She rolls her eyes and wraps herself around Vitali, smiling and starting to drift off*

Kelle: Take a nap, love. I'll be here. *He picks a piece of hay out of her hair*

Cheddar: *She nods and drifts off, snoring lightly and holding onto him tightly*

Kelle: *He chuckles at her and relaxes in the hay to watch over her*

Israphel: Of course I do.

Kelle: And let me guess, you know it by heart? Right?

Israphel: *He frowns and mumbles* I had a lot of free time.

Kelle: *She giggles* How much free time?

Israphel: Years.

Kelle: What did you do? You had that much free time on your hands?

Israphel: I didn't do much.

Kelle: Did you just lay around and stare at the wall?

Israphel: *He chuckles* I played instruments.

Kelle: I remember you mentioned that before. What kinds?

Israphel: Piano and violin mostly.

Kelle: Really? Are you good at those?

Israphel: I'd like to think so.

Kelle: Can you play for me sometime soon? Please?

Israphel: Maybe. Once I can properly stand.

Kelle: Are you sure? *He calls after her*

Cheddar: *She coms him* I'm sure. *She darts off into the forest with Darling, sighing as she feels the wind in her face*

Kelle: Really? Please, Issy! *She smiles at him a bit*

Israphel: *He smiles* we'll see.

Kelle: What? Please, Issy? Please please please?

Israphel: Begging doesn't work with me!

Kelle: But Issy! *She pouts at him*

Israphel: *He looks away from her* don't pout at me!

Kelle: *She pouts and whines a little* Please play for me later?

Israphel: Not giving in.

Kelle: Pretty please, Issy. I would really like to hear you play.

Israphel: *He sighs* Fine.

Kelle: Really? Do you mean that?

Israphel: Yes, I do. I'm going to regret saying that when I wake up tomorrow though.

Kelle: What does that mean, Issy?

Israphel: I hate playing for people.

Kelle: But it's just for me, Issy. No one else.

Israphel: I still don't like it.

Kelle: *She pouts at him, trying to look sad*

Israphel: What did I say now?

Kelle: Nothing. I'm just trying to butter you up so you'll play for me.

Israphel: *He rolls his eyes, smiling* Should have guessed.

Kelle: *She smiles and snuggles against him*

Israphel: Comfortable?

Kelle: Mhm, you feel nice and warm right now.

Israphel: Thanks, I think.

Kelle: You're welcome, Issy. Should I cover this? *She points at his incision*

Israphel: Probably. It's kind of gross.

Kelle: Okay, hold on. *She starts to get up off of the bed*

Israphel: *He frowns, not wanting her to get up* you don't have to.

Kelle: No, it's not a problem. *She hops up and goes into the bathroom again*

Israphel: *He huffs, starting to sit up, wincing *

Kelle: *She's in the bathroom looking for a gauze pad*

Israphel: *He curses, realizing bending is hurting his cut, but continues sitting up*

Kelle: *She's searching about in the bathroom, not hearing him get up yet*

Israphel: *He finally gets into a sitting position, letting out a hiss of pain*

Kelle: *She hears his hiss and pauses* Issy? Are you okay?

Israphel: *He nods, even though she can't see him. His voice is a bit strained* Yeah, I'm fine.

Kelle: Are you sure? Stay there. I'm nearly done in here.

Israphel: I wasn't planning on going anywhere.

Kelle: *She finds a gauze pad and walks back into the room* Why are you sitting up?

Israphel: I'm tired of lying down.

Kelle: Do you want to go back to our room? *She sits next to him and tries to tape the gauze to him while he's sitting up*

Israphel: *He tries to sit up a bit straighter, slightly wincing* I'd rather be there than here.

Kelle: I can ask CB to help if you want to go back but....the room is still pink.

Israphel: *He sighs* I'm sure I can get there myself.

Kelle: I don't know. Should you be walking?

Israphel: Probably not. But do you really think I care?

Kelle: No. I'm still going to help you. Do you want to go now?

Israphel: Ugh, are you really?

Kelle: Am I really what?

Israphel: You're pulling a john on me, Kelle. "Oh, I have to help you or else you'll hurt yourself!"

Kelle: He does that to me all the time. I just don't want you to fall. That's all.

Israphel: I'll be fine. I don't need help.

Kelle: *She gets up* Alright. Let's get going then.

Israphel: *He nods and starts to turn, accidentally cursing who he moves*

Kelle: *She stands right next to him, ready to catch him if he falls*

Israphel: *he swings his legs over the side of the bed, quietly hissing the whole time. He starts to stand and his hiss gets a bit louder *

Kelle: *She keeps her hands near his side and hips, watching him the whole time*

Israphel: *He grumbles "This fucking hurts" before attempting to take a step*

Kelle: *She stands half to the side of him and half in front of him* You can lean on me if you have to.

Israphel: *He shakes his head* no! I'm fine.

Kelle: Alright. CB? Let's go. *She slowly inches her way towards the door*

Israphel: *Hes hissing the whole time, but moving slowly*

Kelle: *She opens the door and slowly leads him out of the room, CB following behind them*

Israphel: *He gets a few more steps before stumbling, cursing and falling*

Kelle: *She grabs him and keeps him from falling over* Hey, it's okay! I've got you!

Israphel: *He grumbles, embarrassed that she had to catch him*

Kelle: *She straightens him up and starts to lead him again*

Israphel: *He continues hobbling along*

Kelle: *CB follows them closely and she keeps leading him* We're almost at the stairs, Issy.

Israphel: Oh boy, I'm really looking forward to that.

Kelle: You'll be fine. Don't worry.

Israphel: Wow, funny, you say that, and yet I'm still worrying.

Kelle: I'm not going to let something happen to you. Do you think you can handle the stairs?

Israphel: No, but I plan on doing it anyway. *He starts walking toward the stairs*

Kelle: *She leads him towards the stairs* Just take it slow. Yeah?

Israphel: *He rolls his eyes* Yes, thank you mother.

Kelle: *She giggles and slowly starts up the stairs, CB still following them*

Israphel: *He starts up the stairs, hissing again*

Kelle: *She gives him a tiny smile and keeps going up the stairs*

Israphel: *He seems to be starting to go a bit faster*

Kelle: *She picks up the pace when he does* Halfway there.

Israphel: *He starts to stumble, but catches himself, grumbling*

Kelle: *She immediately goes to his side* Are you okay?

Israphel: Yeah, I'm fine. Peachy even.

Kelle: You're halfway there. Just one more staircase after this one.

Israphel: Because I don't want him to.

Kelle: Can you make it the rest of the way? It's just a few more stairs.

Israphel: Of course. *He keeps slowly walking*

Kelle: *She gets to the top of the stairs a few feet ahead of him and waits for him*

Israphel: *He gets to the top stair, looking a bit wobbly* told you I'd be fine.

Kelle: We still have this short hall and another staircase, Issy.

Israphel: Oh yeah. *He frowns* I need elevators.

Kelle: Why haven't you built one? *She slowly walks down the wall*

Israphel: I don't know. Never really thought it necessary.

Kelle: It would be useful at times. *She's halfway towards the last staircase*

Israphel: Like right now?

Kelle: Especially right now. This is taking a while. *She waits at the foot of the stairs*

Israphel: *He chuckles* Oi, I think you can be a bit patient.

Kelle: You're taking a long time. You're like an old man without his cane.

Israphel: Maybe you should get me a cane. I'd have fun whacking you with it when you make comments like that.

Kelle: You wouldn't hit me with a cane, would you?

Israphel: Maybe.

Kelle: *She pouts at him and starts to lead him up the stairs* You wouldn't.

Israphel: You underestimate me.

Kelle: Aw, don't hit me with a cane!

Israphel: Don't test me then!

Kelle: Let's just get you up the stairs so you can rest.

Israphel: Yeah yeah. *He starts hobbling toward her*

Kelle: *She waits for him and holds out her hand for him*

Israphel: *He gets to her and takes her hand* thanks. Now stairs. My favorite thing.

Kelle: *She nods, squeezes his hand gently, and leads him up the stairs*

Israphel: *He follows close behind, even if he's a bit slow *

Kelle: *She keeps glancing over her shoulder at him to make sure he's okay*

Israphel: *He nods at her when he looks back, attempting to go a bit faster*

Kelle: You don't have to go faster, Issy. We're nearly halfway there.

Israphel: I'm already tired of standing.

Kelle: Then we can hurry up a little bit if you want to if you feel comfortable with it.

Israphel: *He doesn't say anything but starts to go a bit faster*

Kelle: *She looks back at him and smiles when they're over halfway up the stairs* Nearly there.

Israphel: Fun fun.

Kelle: Oh stop. *She leads him further up the stairs* Last few stairs.

Israphel: *He attempts to clear them quickly, not wanting to walk anymore*

Kelle: *She gets to the stop of the stairs and waits for him* Come on, you can do it.

Israphel: Oi, I don't need a pep talk. *He gets to the top of the stairs, sighing*

Kelle: I'm not giving you a pep talk. *She leads him towards the room*

Israphel: You totally were. *He follows after her*

Kelle: Nope, not at all. *She giggles and keeps leading him*

Israphel: *He smiles* are we there yet?

Kelle: It's right there, a few feet away. *She walks ahead and opens the door*

Israphel: *He grumbles while walking in*

Kelle: *She frowns at the color* We need to do some serious remodeling once you're healthy again. I hate the way this room looks now.

Israphel: Indeed. It hurts my eyes.

Kelle: I guess this is a good excuse to get an upgrade for the furniture. *She leads him over to the bed*

Israphel: *He chuckles* I suppose. * he sits on the bed, sighing*

Kelle: How are we going to get it? The furniture? *She pulls back the covers, then grabs a few pillows and starts to prop his feet up*

Israphel: Oh, you don't need to do that. And we're going to steal it of course.

Kelle: Are we? *Her face lights up a bit, ignoring his first comment and making sure there's pillows under his legs* Can I go with you?

Israphel: No you may not. It's very dangerous.

Kelle: What, why not? I want to come with you.

Israphel: You can get hurt. And I don't want that happening.

Kelle: So can you. You aren't going by yourself.

Israphel: Watch me.

Kelle: You can't stop me from going with you. Why can't I go?

Israphel: I've already told you.

Kelle: Yeah, so I can't get hurt but it's just furniture. If we go at night, there won't be anyone to stop us.

Israphel: You're not going.

Kelle: Please Issy? *She finishes with the pillows and sits next to him*

Israphel: Nope.

Kelle: But I don't want to stay here. Are you taking someone with you?

Israphel: I don't know. But I do know it isn't going to be you if I do take someone.

Kelle: Then if you won't let me go will you at least take someone with you? Please?

Israphel: If I want to.

Kelle: I don't want another crossbow incident to happen. That's why I'm asking.

Israphel: Well it won't happen. And if it does happen, only one person is getting hurt.

Kelle: *She groans and flops down next to him* You're so stubborn.

Israphel: Thanks.

Kelle: *She smacks his shoulder* Fine. So I can't go with you. I'm not happy with that.

Israphel: And I'm tired. I'm glad we had this feelings jam.

Kelle: I'm not tired. *She sighs* Get some sleep. I'll be here.

Israphel: How are you not tired?

Kelle: *She shrugs* Okay, I'm a little sleepy but I don't feel ready to sleep yet.

Israphel: What does that mean?

Kelle: It means I'm tired but I'm not tired enough to sleep just yet. I'll sleep when I'm ready. Don't worry.

Israphel: That's what I say.

Kelle: Now I'm saying it. *She giggles and smiles at him* Sleep if you need to, Issy.

Israphel: *He sighs* fine.

Kelle: *She nods and pulls the covers over them both, snuggling up to him*

Israphel: Goodnight Kelle.

Kelle: Night, Issy. I'll be fine.

Israphel: *He huffs and closes his eyes*

Kelle: *She giggles and starts stroking his side to get him to sleep*

Israphel: *He attempts not to purr, slightly shifting to busy himself *

Kelle: *She curls up and keeps stroking his side*

Israphel: *He starts to purr but stops himself by clearing his throat*

Kelle: *She keeps the strokes going, wanting him to sleep so he can rest more*

Israphel: *After a few seconds he can't help himself, purring and falling asleep*

Kelle: *She stays curled up next to him and keeps stroking his side, watching him sleep*
