Woodlands Ho!

[Rotzi]

"Clothing? But.. I'm already..." She looked down to only see that she was in her undergarments. Her face turned crimson under all of the fur. "I... I didn't even notice..."

"A robe would be nice..." Kiara wobbled a bit when she stood, almost falling over, but she steadied herself by grabbing Diven's shoulder.

"S-Sorry..." she sort of shrunk, feeling a bit embarassed. Embarassed and vulnerable... I've never felt more exposed. Her ears pwipped down as well. "I.. I didn't mean to..."

[DivenWest]

He took her paw and helped her steady herself. "Thats alright, see, your feet have changed too. You can't walk flatfooted any more. You will understand it in time."
He realised he was saying that a lot, he hung his head and sighed. "Try to walk on the ball of your foot, like this." He pulled the hem of his robe up to let her see his foot.

[Rotzi]

"I can do that..." Kiara murmured, looking to her feet. She changed the angle she had been on and balanced on the balls of her feet.

"Just... forget the robe... I'm kinda hot." She looked at the fur covering her body. "This will take time to understand. I just hope nothing bad happens before then..." The lynx girl padded over to the sleeping room. While she still wobbled, she made it in one piece.

She looked back at Diven, who she sort of dragged with her. She tugged him down as she layed down, burying her head in his robe. "Hold me?" she asked timidly.

[DivenWest]

Diven held her and gently stroked her hair. "There there, no one will hurt you now. They become weak when they controle me, and doing so twice so soon, they will be gone for a very long time."

He hugged her gently, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

[Rotzi]

The girl purred softly, already asleep in Diven's arms. Despite what had happened, she slept soundly, no dreams or nightmares interferring.

[DivenWest]

Diven smiled for the first time since it happened, she was here in his arms so soon after he had caused her so much pain. He knew that behavior was far from human norms, but she was no human... now.

He snuggled closer to her and fell asleep, holding her in his arms.

[Rotzi]

Morning came... well, it was technically midday by the time Kiara woke up. She was still curled up in Diven's arms. She smiled softly to herself and snuggled closely.

Funny... yesterday I was freaked out about this... but today it doesn't bother me... She sighed. Then again it was because he was the only one that could help her. And he was rather nice to her, despite his cold greeting...

[DivenWest]

Diven had been awake for a while, beign very still so as not to wake her. "Good morning," he whispered, giving her a gentle hug.

[Rotzi]

"Morning," she smiled. "What are we gonna do now?" Kiara looked at a paw. "It.. I feel like I should, but... it's just... different."

She looked at him. "Just... how do you get past how well you can hear? I've never heard things this loudly before... the smells I got used to last night..."

The cat girl sat up slowly, stretching as she normally did. Kiara smiled to herself when she felt her spine pop into place. She paused, blushing under the fur. "...where are my clothes, anyway?"

[DivenWest]

"You will, you will learn to appreciate the enhanced sences. All of them," he gave her a gentle scratch behind her ear, to show her that they were more sensitive to touch as well.

"Your cloths are out by the fire, I laid them there to dry."

[Rotzi]

Kiara purred loudly at the touch. "O-Okay..." she responded a bit breathily, too much in her opinion.

"Thanks." She stood carefully, padding over to the fireplace to dress. She was glad that they didn't shrink. Kiara smirked. I'm glad I tend to get my clothes a bit baggy... *ahem* pants, that is...

Padding back to the sleeping room, she moved the curtain and glanced at Diven. "Um... do you have a shirt I could wear? Mine's a bit too tight to wear since I got the fur..."

[DivenWest]

"I think I do," he replied, padding over to a chest on the wall, covered by pillows.

He handed her a shirt that was about two sizes too large, "Thats about all I have, I don't normaly wear shirts."

She seemed to be a little more nervious than he would like for her to be. He sat back down, patting a pillow next to him. "Here, sit, talk to me. You look like you have a lot on your mind."

[Rotzi]

"Nervous?" Kiara squeaked. She blinked, pulling his shirt over her head. She looked one way, then the other, trying to figure a way out of this. Seeing none, the young adventuress plopped down beside him.

[DivenWest]

"I know this is very hard for you, I want to help as much as I can. But not just with this, I want you to find happyness. From what you have told me, you have been running from something or other most of your life. Its time to stop running, let me help you find somewhere where you belong. Somewhere where you will be safe, where you can be happy."
He hung his head for a moment, he swallowed and looked back up at her, "I doubt I can find a place such as that for myself, but you deserve it."

[Rotzi]

Kiara was taken aback. She sat there staring at him for about five minutes before she even moved. She smiled wearily. "Am I that see-through?" Though Diven was there, she was asking herself that.

"Happiness... is something scarce in my life." She smirked. "I have grown used to it, tho."

"Besides.. I deserve it no more than the next person." A paw moved behind his ear to scritch gently. "But I'll help you as well."

Her eyes smiled this time. "You hafta be willing to let me help, okay?"
