Closed [Bronze Woods] Wait! How Old Are You?! [Akilia]

[Akilia Dosert]

Akilia The girl felt so proud of herself, standing in front of this Kisetukai, who dwarfed her in size and weak in strength. I finally shut him up, the petching idiot. Pah, he was running that mouth like there was no tomorrow. She smirked giving a visible smug grin, blue eyes twinkling. Next she would try to explain what Kelvic's were and what bonding meant. Emphasis on try. Sure she was a Kelvic but she didn't know the definition of her race. The closest definition she had was shapeshifters, but it was much more complex than that. As for defining what the heck a bond was? Forget it. She'd just make up something that sounded good, hell she'd just fictionize the whole damn subject. Anything to keep 'what's his face' from talking. Akilia didnt notice K's conflicted face, nor the fact that his left hand had balled up into a fist. The impact of his swift punch left her winded alright, she pitched forward onto her knees hands helplessly fleeing from her hips to her belly as she gasped for air. "I don't have time for little girls, especially ones that don't shut up. You block me from what I seek... So you forced yourself to become an enemy." She faintly heard him say. Footsteps... He was walking past her. Her ears told her, and she looked up eyes watering a bit but practically on ablaze with anger. She hadn't expected his punch, hadn't even thought he would be such a jerk to even consider punching her, a girl. What sort of guy did that? she wondered, and furthermore why didn't I see it coming? The blow had come and gone so fast her body didnt have time to react and her mind slow to accept it happened. Little girl?! Blocking him?! Just what was it he seeked? She wondered. sourly. What motivated him to punch a girl for talking. Petching ass. He certainlly didn't seem to be the chivalrous type in the least. "You and me... We aren't meant to be. So get lost." Those words just hardened her resentment for him, possibly even slowly growing hatred. She liked to be in control of things so getting lost, was soo not on her agenda. She gritted her teeth, she had survived more than this. She had be kicked square in the chest by a deer before a blow that should have killed her, but she had gotten away with a few broken ribs. He was getting away. He was walking away! Her sharp ears reminded her and she shakily pushed herself to her feet. Bondmate or not, he would pay. She vowed, she would make him respect him. She was no fool, nor a wimp, she was an angry female out for blood. A creature every animal would make way for. Those that failed would be mowed down by her fury, starting with Kisetukai. He had made some pretty good distance from her so she rotated both hands popping her wrists than put her knuckles together and popped them. After shaking out her legs to get her blood flowing, she was ready. K was further away now she could tell by his delay but strangely he looked to be in no hurry. She smiled evilly she could change that. She ran after him making up ground and catching up, when she calculated she was close enough, she sprang down into a crouch and did a sweeping motion with her right leg, her strongest and most coordinated one, aiming to sweep his feet out from under him. "Take this!" She screeched. By the gods she hoped she'd bring him down.

[Kisetukai]

Who would've thought... He would have run into a fully naked girl in the woods. Soft features, she was adorable, so cute and pretty... But she was annoying. In a way she was annoying, and as for the moment he had no nerves left for such girls. He decided to himself that he had made the right decision, after all she was better off on her own. A little naked girl like her... But she was so... Warm. It was like the atmosphere around her was warmer, even his skin felt calm and relaxed, he felt like he was next to the perfect mobile sun. It was crazy. And now that he was walking away it was cold. He was alone, how he liked it, but it was cold. It's like that warmth was a drug, and he was feeling his first crave... Would he succumb? He didn't know. No. No. He couldn't!

He had to keep walking, he couldn't dare turn around and apologize and suck up that beautiful warmth of her's. No matter how much his annoying body craved it, he had to resist! He had to! But wait... What was this feeling? The warmth... It came back.. He could feel it warming his body, that feeling when he was near.. Her. He then heard faint light dainty footsteps... And then-

[i] Thud! Crack crack crack snap

He had fallen as a vicious leg sweep, from someone, had knocked him off his balance. Now it would have been simple, but because he tried to catch his balance he ended up making it even worse. Falling on his backside, twisting over till he fell flat on his stomach and front. Twigs crunching under the swift weight of the boy, it was too much. He didn't even see it comic, slowly raising his head, with a bunch of leafs and dirt in his mouth. 

He slowly got up and sat on his knees, turning his head to see a naked little girl, maintaining eye contact while spitting the contents of the forest out of his mouth. "Isn't that just cute..." He said sharply and softly. Getting up and dusting off his knees, he slid his black metallic scythe out of his harness, tossing it on the ground. Sitting with his back against a tree, his scythe laid horizontally under his knees, the blade on right side facing the same way as him. The cool winds wiping excess dirt off his legs, spittig here and there. He propped his right leg up, bending it with his knee facing the sky. His left leg laid straight, as he looked at the girl with a small smile. "Point taken... So.. I guess you wanted my attention." He patted the left side of the ground next to him, speaking with the bass in his voice. "So... Tell me what you wanted?... Hurry though, time is of the essence."

[Akilia Dosert]

Akilia I took him down! I brought him down! Hallelujah! She celebrated inwardly grinning. She didn't expect her leg sweep to even work. Akilia watched him with smug defiance as K got up spitting out dirt from his fall. He said something, it was soft and something she paid no mind to. She couldn't he had captured her attention once again when he brought out something...a weapon, a scythe. She knew now that he wasn't playing, when someone brought out a weapon they usually didn't do it for show. She went on her guard, taking a step back just to be safe. She was trembling a little, she couldn't help it, the girl didn't like the thought of that scythe meeting her skin and bones. So she talked. "I'm a Kelvic, I bonded to you I think. I'm pretty sure I did." She stepped closer unknowingly. "You can feel it can't you?" Another step, "the warmth. I was the wolf you saw a few moments ago, the one you supposedly wanted to kill..." She caught herself walking and stopped. There was a weird pull, she wanted to be around him. Accept his invitation and sit against the tree beside him, close by. She shivered at the feeling, it was so alien. She didn't need anyone, she could survive by herself. So why was she here? Better to ask him first. "Why are you out here squire?" She asked strangely curious. "Your from the city aren't you?" She had grown tired of standing and sank into a crouch, slender arms wrapping about her. The sun was retreating and the temperature was dropping, she would have rather have shifted to escape the uncomfortable cold but she wouldn't be able to communicate by being a wolf. Only complicate things.

[Kisetukai]

K sat against the tree, listening to the girl, and the news she had delivered made total sense of the situation. She was a kelvic. A damn kelvic. Another one of those people, if one could begin to classify them as such, that could transform into an animal. This was like the fifth one he encountered! Why was this forest full of all these wretched things? Why was... - His thoughts were silenced as he felt that warmth drawing closer, seeing her inch closer it all made sense. How much more better could it get? How greater could this warmth become? How amazing it felt! It was like... Ectasy.

As she finally got close to him she asked questions, the usual part of an information exchange. But he couldn't pay to much attention, because she had crouched and dropped and he saw her... Her...

He saw her, and more than enough of her than he needed. He knew now that she was young. A very YOUNG kelvic.

He wiggled his head a bit, to hear her asking him why he was here. He smiled a bit, trying to get a few lewd thoughts out of his head. "Me... I'm here for relaxing. Taking a break from those women in town... I came to relax and I was bothered by an annoying little wolf." He said sharply, giving her a small glare oozing with potent sarcasm. "And now I hear that I'm... Bonded... With someone I just met. Something. And I'm apparently some bondguy or bandee... Oh! Bondmate. Look Akilia... Your sweet but I'm no bondmate, whatever that may be, I am Kisetukai. You may call me Kise..." 

He looked around and then at her frail body, to see her holding herself, probably sensing the cool airs. He felt a small bit of pity, instantly taking the initiative. Standing up, he slid his scythe back onto his back, preparing for change. Sliding off his white tee shirt, he tossed it at her, it was loose so probably would be pretty big on her. Then walking behind a tree, he spoke out loud so she wouldn't follow. "Put that on... And holdup." Coming back to her after a few zips and swift belt changes, he tossed his freshly white thin cotton boxers at her. They were a bit warm, as was his body, from a number of reasons. "Ok get suited up soldier... If your gonna follow me around you better not slow me down." He said demandingly as he walked off, covered in nothing but weapon harness, scythe on his back, and cargo shorts tightened on his waist. "Akilia!" He grunted, walking with dominance. Her name had a nice ring to it, a ring he could get used to saying. "So... You gonna show me where you live so I can finally relax like I came to do?" He spoke aloud, hopefully she was near. "Also Akilia... Tell me about yourself. Where are you relatives, why are you here alone. Tell me this as we walk and don't dawdle. Time is of the essence my dear."

[Akilia Dosert]

Akilia "Me... I'm here for relaxing. Taking a break from those women in town... I came to relax and I was bothered by an annoying little wolf." "Relaxing..." She let the word roll over her tongue then snorted. It seemed like such a useless word to her. And taking a break from women? Geez, this guy was soo full of himself. She has to admit it though, he was one of the most handsome guys she'd ever seen. She had seen plenty of plain ordinary guys going up and down the Kabrin road and throughout Syirlas too, but Kise had taken the prize for best good looking. problem was, he seemed to think so too which discinergrated the thought of flattery. But oddly enough, she found his arrogance a cute. For as the saying went: a man who thinks himself to be important ends up being such. Maybe the same was for Kise, however difficult it was to hold conversation with him. Looking on the bright side, at least the Kelvic hadn't bonded to some worthless depressed wimp. She wouldn't ever have to worry about playing nursemaid to Kise. But something still nagged at her, did taking a break from the people in the city mean he had enemies? She scanned to area around them, half expecting someone to jump on them out of the blue... There! That bush! A bird flew out from it and Akilia quickly looked away a blush coloring the girl's checks. She felt like such like an idiot. She felt even more so when she realized Kise was still talking. She barely caught the ends of one of his sentences... "...I am Kisetukai. You may call me Kise..." She nodded, at least she knew what to call him. Ever since he introduced himself with his mouthful of a first name, she tried practicing it butchering it so badly in her mind that she just thought to simply refer to him as Squire. Hearing his nickname was a welcome change, there was a smaller chance of her messing it up. "Kise..." She said repeating his name getting a feel for it. The name was easy enough, "Kise, Kise, Kise!" She said in a singsong tone, her voice turning shrill on the last word. She realized he wasn't ordering her to 'get lost' nor punching her in the gut. That too was a welcome change so far. She wondered how many other things she could push into her favor. A chill took her, spiking through her body swiftly leaving her teeth chattering. She hugged her naked self closer. She had noticed he probably saw her crouching there rolled up in a ball, too late. White fabric was the only thing in her line of sight for a second as the shirt Kise tossed to her, nailed her in the face. It didn't hurt of course, it was just clothing but it caught her off guard. She didn't have time to snatch it out of the air because of her arms wrapped about her. His chivalry impressed her, she had thought he was the heartless, arrogant type. Turned out she had judged too soon, she had a bad habit of that. She removed the shirt from her face and looked at it. It was much too big for her small self but...she was cold. So she put it on without another thought. After shrugging it on, she looked around eyes narrowing when Kise was no where in sight. Then the tell tale sounds of zippers zipped, told her he was still around. Boxer shorts where the second item of clothing was tossed her way, and she grabbed it and put em on. They were surprisingly warm...and she avoided stopping to think why. "Ok get suited up soldier... If your gonna follow me around you better not slow me down." He said jumping into a walk. She noticed his scythe strapped to his back and sighed with some relief. At least she didn't have to worry about that. She snorted, "Don't worry about me, it'll be you trying to keep up." She walked after him at a brisk walk, closing his slight head start and walking two strides for his one. "Akilia!" "What?" She asked sourly. "No need to shout, I'm right here you dimwit." "So... You gonna show me where you live so I can finally relax like I came to do?" "And here I thought you already had...humpf, fine... I'll take you to my place. It's not far." "Also Akilia... Tell me about yourself. Where are you relatives, why are you here alone. Tell me this as we walk and don't dawdle. Time is of the essence my dear." "About me." She repeated, should she tell? Did she have to? Then again she didn't care much so she did. "I'm...what? Eight months old now? Probably. As for relatives, I don't have any. Its a touchy subject... Long story short, my mom's...gone. And I don't know who my dad is, I probably don't have any siblings. So I look after myself, working in the fields sometimes for cash and having the company of my companions." Spewing out that info had actually been easier than she thought. She gave him a sideways glance, "so what about you?" She turned off the path they were taking and into the direction of a hidden path, the one she'd taken before when she winded up here. It wasn't a path really, low thick branches swung from above at times not a bother for her but mostly the path was clear, keeping an eye out for traps set by hunters wasn't much of a challenge. "This way's fastest" She said absently motioning Kise over with her hand. "Oh...and watch your head...and your step. Don't want to fall into any traps."

[Kisetukai]

She had been the same, really and exactly, the same as him. Motherless, yet she seemed perfectly fine and unscathed like him, although he could tell it went deeper. Hearing here tell the story of no siblings was all to familiar, for without Kise K would've been alone, actually he wouldn't have existed but hey. The girl was turning and moving like a pro, especially when she started to walk on this makeshift path. Seem like it was made by constant passing by, which was understood in these woods. She had asked him about himself, the part that he had said oh to many times. "Me?... Well we are kinda alike, you know I lost my mom too, certainly not as young as you... But definitely I know how you feel. Eight months huh?..." K found a small blush coming on his face. "Does that make me some kinda weirdo for hanging out with ya?" He mumbled. The soft warm feeling around her engulfing him, he became more at ease and less stiff. 

"I'm not your average guy... I hate to be considered average. I am a future knight, hopefully soon to be a squad leader, but for now I'm just a squire. Also I-" His words were cut short when he heard her say watch his head and feet. Looking up getting smacks by a couple twigs and stuff, he certainly pissed. "Petching woods..." He moaned. Then noticing some huge metallic shine in a bush, he grew a bit curious, tossing a rock at it. He was surprised to hear the rock crack, as giant claws came up, apparently some trap for... Animals? K was no hunter, so this was all new. 

"Akilia your land sucks, I don't see how a little girl lives here. The thought of knowing your life is hanging by a thread. It is just too much, I couldn't live here... But..." He drifted off as he looked at the girl, semi-leading the way, she was gorgeous. Again she was cute, and being in his tee shirt, she was even more attractive. K felt himself getting weak, thanking the gods that his shorts were made out of strong fabric because his lust was going crazy. Could Akilia tell? He knew that if she could feel that he felt that bond, she might be able to feel other things he was thinking.  "Oh dear gods... Akilia..." He said softly. "Are we close?" 

 

[Akilia Dosert]

Akilia Akilia felt a pang of sympathy for the guy. She wouldn't have figured him as motherless too. It made this light get to know you chatter, more personal. The mere fact that she could relate made her step closer to him. A few moments ago her impression of Kise was some insanely hot stuck up future knight commander aspiring to take over the world or something. It was funny because she could imagine it happening. Like all things, it seemed looks could be deceiving. She had imagined his life being the ideal one, a perfect one, with him surrounded by friends and family who loved him, but it seemed to be the total opposite. Is he like me? She wondered. Alone? She wondered what age he'd lost his mother. Ten? Fifteen? Then it occurred to her that she didn't even know his age. It didn't take a genius to tell that Kise was older than Akilia though maybe not by much, she hoped. it was werid she wanted him to be closer in age to her well...at least physically, in human years. So wrapped up in her thoughts, she forgot he was talking. "Eight months huh?... Does that make me some kinda weirdo for hanging out with ya?" The mention of her age on his lips made her smile. "How old are you, weirdo?" She joked turning her head and looking at him as she walked. Was he blushing? His voice kept her from slipping into her swirling whirlpool of thoughts. "I'm not your average guy... I hate to be considered average. I am a future knight, hopefully soon to be a squad leader, but for now I'm just a squire. Also I-" "Average you?" She snorted in laughter. "As if. You're-" She laughed as he got wracked in the head with a couple of skinny branches. She didn't have to worry about such a thing, she was too short for the branches to reach her. But the word "average" for Kise was laughable. He really was a good looking guy...he walked in a powerful way, and possessed a presence that radiated so much confidence was almost majestic. She hadn't known she had been staring, a half smile plastered on her lips and blue eyes sparkling. She suddenly felt very councious about her appearance, her dark brown hair was a mess of tangles and curls casanding down her back. The way she was dressed made her feel odd, the white shirt that may have fit just fine for Kise looked a little shorter than a night gown on her, the boxer shorts barely hung onto her slender frame. Talking...he was still talking and his voice jerked her from her self councious trance. "Akilia your land sucks, I don't see how a little girl lives here. The thought of knowing your life is hanging by a thread. It is just too much, I couldn't live here... But..." "It's not my land...I share it with like a billion other animals." She said matter a factly. Akilia's smile turned upside down. He'd said it again...little girl. "Am I really just a child to you?" She asked hurt. She pouted but she couldn't keep the expression for long, the warmth she felt from him drained the little anger she struggled to build up. Sad that she couldn't stay angry for long, at least not at him. There was a faint tingle on the back of her neck, as she became aware of, her neck felt warm. She reached a hand back and touched it and gasped in surprise. her fingers felt nothing wrong, but it burned. Her neck felt hot and it didn't at the same time, she couldn't feel the heat with her fingers but with her mind. She let her searching fingers drop and focused on the burning sensation. It wasn't something she was feeling physically but rather some mentally, emotionally. It made her feel giddy, and excited...furthermore, the source didn't feel like it was coming from her, but from Kise. Her gaze swung over to him curiously almost accusingly, blue eyes asking him to explain. Was this feeling from the bond? Did Kise feel this way? Why? "Oh dear gods... Akilia..." He said softly. "Are we close?" She nodded slowly her eyes not leaving his even as she stepped out into a clearing. A tent was set up nearby, a pony grazing near it as well as a dog with creamy red fur lying at the tents mouth and a white silvery creature wandering around in the short grass. Akilia spotted her clothes right where she'd left them, folded up neatly on a tree stump. "Yep we're here." She hadn't realize how close she had been standing next to Kise until her arm brushed his as she started off across the meadow. The dog Ginger raised her head and let out a welcoming bark, then a second one this time in farewell as she turned tail and began running away and vanishing into the forest. The girl knew Ginger was just going off for a run. The pony, Cinnamon caught sight of Akilia too and snorted in annoyance Turing her back on the girl and her human companion. The silvery ferret, Apollo dashed out from the grass and into the tent with a squeal. He wasn't much for surprises. "Home sweet home..." She muttered. Glancing at Kise, Akilia smiled. "Not much I know, but I think it's nice. Oh and I can change out of your clothes if you want I've got my own."

[Kisetukai]

K was still panicking, the heat of lust from looking at Akilia was burning and making itself known. Could she feel it? Because her gaze was locked on him, and she was getting closer every tick, with him trying to look away. It was so weird. It was like everytime he turned his face he went into the cold, blizzard land of reality, but when he looked at that beautiful face. Her beautiful face. He felt warm, fire burning inside him, passion building up. He couldn't take it, he was going to do it... He was going to take her down somewhere, and mount her... Like a dog. This left him wondering... Who exactly was the dog?

He couldn't take the thought, and his emotions got the best of his, as his right hand flew forward. But it was to late, she had lunged forward and began running to the meadows. Perfect, he almost did something he would've regretted. Especially because the feeling of her touching his arm sent him over the edge, total sensation overload. As he smiled at the girl walking off he felt it again... The cool breeze of being alone. Without her, it just didn't feel right. He never ran, trying to not make it obvious, but power walked so that he may bask in the weak heat she left behind. Finally making it near her, he smiled, looking at all the animals. "An animal owns animals huh? My my what has this world come to." He said with a hearty chuckle. "Akilia... Don't change clothes... Not again." He said fearing another blush. Looking around, it was all too weird, why was he here?! In this wolf girl's home. It was cute but not normal... He had no business being here. 

K then got a thought, making him sad, but it was the right thing to do. "Akilia... Actually you should go change. But your a young lady... So go change in that tent." He said softly, yet sharply. K sighed a bit thinking about leaving her warmth. He had a plan. He knew the girl would listen, she seemed to value his opinion, but he wasn't her daddy or older brother. As soon as she got into the tent for a good eight ticks, he would dash off, and make way for Syliras. He didn't know the way so would end up lost but, he would still try. He couldn't stay with her, it felt right but he knew t was wrong.

Where was home again?

[Akilia Dosert]

Akilia Her neck was on fire. It made her uncomfortable, and it seemed the closer Kise got it became more unbearable. Her hands were rubbing her neck trying to get rid of the sensation. It was odd though, the place where her arm brushed Kise's burned too hotter than her neck. But she liked it, oh how she did. She was tempted to touch him again...grab his hand and hold it, hug him, kiss him, something! She liked that fire but didn't know why. She didn't know why she wanted to touch Kise, had no idea why she felt this way for him. He was a stranger...partly anyway. Was it wrong to want someone you didn't even fully know? The emotions confused her too, she never had a crush never had these complicated feelings for anyone. So why now? Then there was another thing to consider, her age. Sure she looked about thirteen or fourteen in human years and would look fifteen come early summer, but she hadn't been alive more than eight months. A baby in human years, she was much smarter and more experienced than one yes, having the fast ability to adapt helped her get a grip on the society and behaviors of humans but she wasn't a mature Kelvic yet. It would be another year before she would be considered an adult. In twenty years she would have died of old age...her short lifecycle would be up. Would Kise's? No...she didnt think so, he was human he would probably outlive her by decades...probably. He was talking. Kise was talking. She listened and watched him snickering as he power walked to her. "An animal owns animals huh? My my what has this world come to." "I don't own them...well at least not Ginger and Apollo. They're my companions. But Cinnamon that stubborn pony? Yeah I probably do." She said simply. She listened to his opinion of getting dressed and shrugged. "Okay." She said over her shoulder, she was already walking again. She grabbed her gear and disappeared into the tent. "I'll be out in a sec." She called out to Kise. She wondered for a second wether she should wear her blue dress it went with her eyes and she could slide it off in the blink of an eye if she was to shift. Her normal plain stuff, was not only more complicated to get on, but it got itchy, it was easier to move in though but hard to get off in a hurry. She went for the dress, throwing Kise's borrowed clothing aside, she slid on undergarments and the dress over those. She slipped on black leather boots and tied her cloak on. Then she folded Kise's landed clothes and headed out. Almost headed out, she ducked back inside to grab her scabbard holding a dagger inside, best to be prepared for anything. By the time she came back out, used clothes in hand, Kise was no where to be seen. "Petching bastard..." She whined, looking about her angrily. She looked up at the sky the sun's rays where faint and darkness present. "Maybe he had to go home?" She pondered aloud, then almost immediately doubted it. If he had to go he could've just said so and waited until she was out of the tent to tell her. No he had ditched her. Ditched her! The fact made her teeth ground together and she let loose a screeching wail of hurt anger and all her other confusing muddled up emotions. Her temper opened its doors and her boiling anger flew free. She threw his clothes down on the ground and spat on them, stomped on them, ground them into the ground until the stainless white fabric turned a distinct ugly brown. "Take that you petching jerk. I'm going to do more than that when I catch your ass!" She yelled into the night. Her eyesight got better because of the dark, she could see everything more distinctly more clearly. "Who says cats are the only ones who can see in the dark?" She joked half heartedly. Lifting her face to the wind, she breathed in catching his fresh scent almost immediately and charged after it. He would not escape her.

[Kisetukai]

K hear a distinct yell-scream in the back ground. It was time, time for a chase, and he feared it would be his last. Running... Through the woods. It was getting dark, well actually it was dark and he was trying to run away from a savage beast. She sounded no longer a girl, she sounded like... Well it was unexplainable. The sound of a girl, and the sound of a woman's scorn. She might have not been the most mature female he touched, but she was definitely one of the most vicious. She was coming, he could tell, the worst case scenario had occurred. Yet, it was perfect, it gave him the rush he needed. The thrill he got from when he was younger, running away from girls, being on the chase. It was... Exhilarating. 

He couldn't stop panting though, running throughout the woods and crunching twigs with every step. For the first time he was having fun in these woods. He wasn't focused on lust, protective of his life, he was just happy to be being chased once again. It felt good, especially because he new the girl was going to  hurt him. Sweet sweet pain. She could scratch him, bite him, she could do whatever she wanted to him. If she could catch him, then she could do whatever she wanted to him. Because he... Think he loved her. If not love something. Yes he still had a crush on Sigrun, but for now Akilia was on his mind. 

He was sweating, heavily, it had no musty smell. It was more of a liquid that was somehow oder-less, yet it was still unique. He couldn't stop running through though, it felt too good, his naked body let him feel free. Nothing but shorts, he felt wild, he felt... Right. Finally, he couldn't keep running... He had to hide. Hiding was not easy though, running through the woods one would think it would be. He had no choice, he worked his way back to the clearing they had met at. Going near the bolder, he wanted to lay on it but Akilia was the type of girl to him that would hit him in the gonads with out a second thought. Now he had a plan... It might've just worked. With a slim chance of success he tried to do it. Laying down, falling out considerably like a flop he assumed the dead position. Laying on his right side, his legs and arms bent like he was hit by something. Rubbing a bit of dirt on his face, he tried to hide a smile, opening his mouth as it he was literally dead, he assumed the position. Hopefully if Akilia found him... She would think him dead. But if she wanted some fun....

He wondered the whole time... Possibly he would be able to sense her using the warm feeling she gave.
