frozen tears

[x_LiCANDER .]

<sub>She seemed to understand what was annoying him, since the ice melted almost immediately. But no soon later did her eyes change a little. Licander's crimson orbs narrowed in response. He realized what was happening, since, well, he'd just gotten over with dealing with this 'side' of Towa. A growl sounded in his throat as Towa grinned sadistically. Now that that's over with, why don't you tell me when you plan on showing her you human form? she asked. Great. Now she was talking about her calmer side in third person.

He didn't hesitate the slightest bit before shifting to his human form. He stepped up to the girl, and when he was right in front of her, lifted his chin a bit, and asked, What's up? Yeah, he was taking the conversational part of this casually, since he didn't even know Towa, so he wasn't about to jump to find out what was going on. But then again, he was a bit curious. Who are you? It was possible that this girl wasn't even Towa in this state.</sub>

the grin still glued to her face, she made the platform go higher. her tail swayed slowly behind her, ears twitching as she answered.

"I don't have the slightest idea, but that I'm trapped with this girl thanks to her god forsaken mother. You don't seem willing to have friends, yet you talk to other beings, why is that?"

her grin became wider as her set of razor sharp teeth gleamed in the light. this fox was starting to like this game very much.

[x_LiCANDER .]

<sub>She kept that little grin plastered onto her face and rose higher, as though she was trying to show dominance over Li. Pfft, like that was ever going to happen. I don't have the slightest idea, but that I'm trapped with this girl thanks to her god forsaken mother. You don't seem willing to have friends, yet you talk to other beings, why is that? The answer wasn't exactly what he'd been looking for, but apparently it seemed like that was all he was going to get. The girl's grin widened, and it wasn't hard to see her teeth glistening. What was up with her.

Licander sighed inwardly, as if answering her was such a big task. I don't make friends 'cause they're too easy to lose. he said. He frowned slightly at her, looking up. Why do you keep going up? Do I frighten you so much that you want to keep out of reach or something? he questioned, trying to get her to come down. He wasn't planning on killing her, at least not if the situation called for it. But looking up for so long would start to hurt Li's neck. He didn't feel like having to deal with that.</sub>

[aqua]

her grin lessened as he spoke. a pout look was on her face as she jumped down from the platform. her swiftly made her way from him to keep her "body" safe from scratches or cuts.

" i don't fear you one bit for what i am, but the girl does and wants her body safe from harm. if you really knew this girl and seen what she's been through, you may breakdown and pity the child."

she waltz across the ice under her feet as she moved closer to him, her tail gliding over his hand. a chuckle came from her lips as she moved away again. she froze, eyes flickering back and forth from towa's to hers. she suddenly chuckled again as Towa took control again, shaking like leaf in the wind. her eyes were wide as she spotted the man from before, a squeak coming from her as her body became coated in ice again. there were no spikes this time, but six tall pillars surrounded her. she was so confused again, she started wailing like a little girl.

"Towa no what happen!! Towa scared!!"

tears streamed down her skin under the ice, merging with the rest of the ice. she was sitting in the center of the pillars, wailing lowly.

[x_LiCANDER .]

Okay, one question.
When Towa is in her crazy mood
(that's what I'll call it =])
is she in the form of a fox
or is she still in a human form?

[aqua]

she is still in human form, only her pupils become thin slits and her eyes start to give off a glow. her tongue is sharp and is willing to speak freely about anything. simple as that.

[x_LiCANDER .]

okay. thanks. Just had to get that clear

<sub>He noticed her grin had vanished and was replaced with a pout. That was different, but an improvement. I don't fear you one bit for what I am, but the girl does and wants her body safe from harm. If you really knew this girl and seen what she's been through, you may breakdown and pity the child. He couldn't help but smirk at that comment. Me? Pity? Hah.

His eyes lowered to his hand as Towa's tail brushed over it, then went back up to her as she walked away. He heard her chuckle, before the real Towa took over again. She began to shake uncontrollably and she saw him, her eyes widened. Ice coated her lithe body, as six pillars surrounded her. She really liked her ice.

Licander approached her as she was on the ground crying, shaking his head ever so slightly. Towa, he began, before crouching down to her eye level. Towa, what was your mother like. He was wondering why it seemed to be her mother's fault for Towa having a split personality, or so says the other her.</sub>

I like your Crazy Towa. She's cool ^___^

[aqua]

She looked up to him, eyes still wide. A look of fury and saddness was mixed on her face as she swiftly slid away from him to her bag. She took out a notebook and a bottle of ink, dipped her tail in the ink and began to write with it. It was clean even with her shaking badly.

" Why do you ask of mama? She loved me and saved me. I would have taken her place for what happened to her. Don't speak of her if you think she did something bad, fore she cared more than any of my family."

Her ice coating had vanished now as she handed him the note not wanting to touch him, seeing his body heat was higher than hers by far. She went a little ways from him, but not too far, fore he may ask something else.

[x_LiCANDER .]

<sub>He met eyes with her, his questioning as hers wide. He could read her face like a book, and it was written of fury and sadness. What, did he hit a touchy subject or something? She left to her bag and pulled something out, which he soon learned was some paper and a bottle of ink. Wow, bottled ink. Who uses that anymore? Doesn't this girl have a PaperMate pen anywhere?

After waiting for her to write down her little note, he had it handed to him. Why do you ask of mama? She loved me and saved me. I would have taken her place for what happened to her. Don't speak of her if you think she did something bad, fore she cared more than any of my family. He raised his eyebrows. Who ever said he thought she was a bad person? Handing the note back rather than scrapping it, Licander sighed.

Well what happened to her then? 'Cause there had to be some reason you're a schizophrenic or whatever was going on back there. Yeah, okay, boohoo that she liked him as a wolf more. He didn't feel like changing back and forth all the time. It just gets annoying on his part.</sub>

[aqua]

She looked to her tail, eyes merky with the thought of if she could tell him what happened to her mother. She looked back up to him, eyes still merky, as her tail wrote what happened.

"Mama was murdered infront of me. My father was drunk and had me tied to a chair, just about to beat me like normal. Mama had come home and he threw her to the floor before taking out his hunting knife and stabbed her right before my eyes as we both screamed. He hated both of us, me for being half arctic fox demon, and Mama carrieing the gene."

She had tears running down her face as she handed him the note. Her eyes were still merky, but it almost seemed that the images of the night flashed in her wide eyes. The wind suddenly grew strong as ice crept up her body, forming strange marks on her torso, cheeks, arms, and legs.

[x_LiCANDER .]

<sub>He skimmed through the note, before sighing. Why was she good good at writing English yet she sucks at speaking it? Oh well, not like it was that big a deal anyway.

So the girl has a shitty past. Who doesn't these days. Although, having your mom get killed right in front of you, getting a normal beating and having some demon tossed in you must suck. But he wasn't exactly living in Beverly Hills either, so he didn't hold any sympathy.

The sad thing about Licander is that he doesn't hold sympathy for anyone. He can have empathy, but no sympathy. So for someone who's in Towa's kind of situation, he's sort of like 'Yeah, okay, life sucks. Get over it; You're not the only one who's hurting.' This isn't the best logic to live by, but it's Licander's and he has no intention of backing down anytime soon.

He noticed that Towa was crying, and he was about to try and make her stop (if someone happens to go by, then they might think he hurt her O.O") when he realized that markings were appearing on her body. How odd... Instead of doing something to stop it, he simply took a step back and watched. This could get interesting, or maybe not, but he still wanted to find out either way.

//yeah, sorry, didn't give you much to work with. my bad >.> //</sub>

[aqua]

She stopped crying and the markings stop appearing as well. She slowly walked over to him, leaving ice needles where her once was with each step. The wind was roaring and strong, blowing around them. She finally stopped infront of him and lightly placed a thin finger over his lips.

"You tell none of past, understood?"

She seemed blank, eyes wide and readable to any. She removed her hand and waited for him to respond.

[x_LiCANDER .]

<sub>Like the snap of a dead twig in Autumn, Towa changed from sobby to... not sobby. She'd stopped crying, the markings stopped, and she was walking to him, instead of away from him. For a second, he assumed that she had changed from her 'Scared-Towa' to her 'Cocky-Towa', but as she approached, he noticed that her eyes remained the same color.

The wind was strong around them; the kind of strength that makes you think of trees falling onto your house, or maybe a tornado of some sort. His eyes looked to the distance, and found that the trees weren't swaying over there, so it must be Towa controlling these high winds. But then again, wind being this strong around them naturally is just unbelievable. By the time she stopped, she was right in front of Li, and she placed a finger on his lips. He could feel how cold she was, and it was slightly surprising, though he didn’t show that. He was tempted to bite her finger jokingly, but since she’s so skittish, she’d probably freak out and run into the woods or something.

You tell none of past, understood? That was the most English sentence he’d heard her say, but maybe that was just by accident that her words seemed to make sense. Either way, at least he could understand what she was trying to say this time.

Licander gave a nod in reply after she lowered her hand. Her eyes looked empty and blank, rather than fearful or tear-filled. He wasn’t sure what was up with her; she was a very confusing girl…</sub>

[aqua]

She was now curious of him as her eyes showed her interest lowly. she backed two steps away from him, but was still rather close to him. she could feel the heat coming off his body as the wind ceased around them, any sign of ice gone. she tilted her head to the side slightly and blinked for a moment before speaking.

"Why you here? none come at night in cold."

she was sitting now, wanting to back away from him to get rid of the wave of heat he was giving off. her tail rested in her lap as she waited calmly, her ears twitching softly with interest.

[x_LiCANDER .]

<sub>As she was beginning to back off, Licander started wondering if she was going to freak out and start crying again, but instead she planted herself on the ground. All ice and wind was gone. Yay for casual weather. Towa blinked at him for a moment or two, before asking a question. Why you here? None come at night in cold. What was he supposed to say?

I was awake and bored. Thought I should go for a walk and I ran into you. I suppose I don't have to ask why you're here, right? he replied, sitting down. He'd gotten the idea that she liked to have things cold, judging by everything she's done this night had involved either cold water, ice or high, sharp winds.</sub>
