Mayais & Veidda: I'll get you tuna.
[4:44:26 AM] CC: You're walking through the dirt, crouching down to hide behind the dry blades of grass. Behind your shades your eyes squint to focus on your prey, some wildebeest. The burguoisie would pay through the nose for something crafted out of that hide, and killing wild lusii was a fun game of 'surprise dye'. Only wild lusii though. You crept closer, your bow in hand, slowly pulling the string back as you raised it almost to your face, taking aim.
[4:48:17 AM] NO: Aaannnndddd... Nyoom. A ginormous cheetah sprang from the grass and ran at the wildebeest, full speed ahead. Poor thing couldn't react fast enough and was taken down rather quickly. Once it was down, however, a lowblood slid from the top of the cheetah and kneeled by the wildebeest, saying some quiet words of gratitude.
[4:52:57 AM] CC: What the hell. That thing took your kill, and you stood from your spot, glaring at the cheetah until you noticed the itty bitty troll running up to the corpse. That troll is going to die approaching that cheetah lusus, and you take it upon yourself to save the troll, running up and shooting your arrows as you approached.
"Don't worry mate! I'll save you!"
[4:54:38 AM] NO: Veidda jumped as her lusus made a barking sound and ahe saw what was going on. She whipped out her kukris and ran as fast as she could at the troll attacking her lusus. "How dare you attack my lusus!"
[4:59:02 AM] CC: You skid past her and slam against her lusus, lifting your bow to begin hitting the beast while screaming. You are the MAN. "You'll be safe soon!"
[5:03:22 AM] NO: The lusus hissed and swat at the troll and Veidda just... kind of... stared at him. "... That's my lusus! How many times must I tell you?!"
[5:05:07 AM] CC: He just went on for a while, screaming and trying to evade the swatting.
"RUN WHILE YOU CAN!"
[5:06:00 AM] NO: Sighing, she sat down and plucked up some grass, weaving a bracelet. "Maybe you'll figure it out."
[5:09:05 AM] CC: Figure out what? He wasn't listening, clearly, and he tried to put some distance between him and the lusus to start aiming his arrows when he finally took notice of her on the ground.
"What the hell are you doing? Are you stupid? Get up and run!"
[5:10:46 AM] NO: "For the third time, she's my lusus."Her lusus didn't appear to be in pain... she actually laid down to take a nap while he was shooting.
[5:12:50 AM] CC: It took him a while to register, but he adjusted his shades for a moment, setting down his bow and frowning.
"Wait why do you have such a huge lusus- more importantly, who are you? If this really is your lusus, it took my kill."
[5:14:51 AM] NO: Standing up, she brushed herself off and put away her weapons, grabbing the bracelet and walking over to him. "My name is Veidda Agathi. It's nice to meet you. I'm sorry my lusus 'stole your kill', but we have been hunting that wildebeest all night."
[5:19:43 AM] CC: He examined her, looking her over and tilting his head. His fingers reached for his shades to pull them off and cross his arms.
"No, see that can't happen because I've been tracking this guy all night."
[5:23:39 AM] NO: She shrugged and chirped to her lusus, who immediately got up and fetched the kill, bringing it over. "Here. Maybe we can find something else." She gave a sweet smile as the lusus dropped the corpse in front of his feet before she nodded to him, stepping away to start walking.
[5:27:42 AM] CC: Mayais was not used to just having someone surrender a kill, especially considering his blood was not brought up and she was a lowblood herself...
"Wait." He took a step towards her. "My name's Mayais Nuptus. Hi Veidda."
[10:21:01 AM] NO: ** She turned back to him and offered a small smile. "Thanks."
[11:27:05 AM] CC: "You're welcome." Mayais shot a glance at the lusus corpse in front of him, then back at the cheetah before furrowing his brows. "What exactly are you thanking me for here?"
[11:30:58 AM] NO: "... I don't know, I guess for talking to me." She giggled and looked back at him.
[11:43:26 AM] CC: He ducked his head in just the slightest, eyeing her. "What, are you one of those
secluded from society trolls?"
[11:45:15 AM] NO: "Well... Not of my own accord. My lusus wants to protect me, so she tends to keep me secluded."
[11:46:41 AM] CC: "And you just /take/ that?" You let out an incredulous chuckle, shoving your shades back on your face and picking up your bow to hang it on your back once more. "Aren't you curious about other places?"
[11:51:13 AM] NO: "Well of course I am, but I like it here. It's usually quiet, and it hardly ever rains. It's purrfect for me."
[11:52:32 AM] CC: He steps around the wildebeest, looking Veidda over and circling her slightly. "Well, okay, but it's hot like fuck and you're cut off from everyone. On one hand that's good but on the other. It's kinda detrimental isn't it?"
[11:55:22 AM] NO: "The... the heat doesn't... bother me... Could you please not do that? You're making me nervous..." She pouted, hugging herself as she watched him walk around her. "... Plus, if I don't know anybody, then my feelings won't get hurt..."
[11:56:49 AM] CC: "/That's/ why you're avoiding everyone?" He stopped, stepping back to halfassedly lean-sit against the wildebeest corpse, his arms crossed once more. "So your feelings don't get hurt? That's a petty reason."
[12:03:32 PM] NO: She frowned, looking down at the ground. "... I-I should go..." She muttered, turning and walking in the direction of her hive again.
[12:04:24 PM] CC: Great work Mayais. Fucked up. "What? Why? Look, I could use some help carrying this to my hive. If you wanna help out kinda."
[12:05:55 PM] NO: "I... shouldn't bother you with my 'petty' self..."
[12:07:02 PM] CC: He is heavily considering facepalming. "That's- no, I didn't say /you/ were petty, I meant that the /reason/ was petty-- nevermind. Nevermind it alright? No hard feelings. Do you come out here often? Do you have a Trollian?"
[12:12:05 PM] NO: "I live here, actually... And I do have a trollian. But I don't really use it..."
[12:13:23 PM] CC: He immediately perks up, pulling out a mobile device. "Well, maybe you can use it now. I'm CC, wanna add yours?" Mayais handed her the device, open on Trollian's 'add chump' function.
[12:14:54 PM] NO: She blinked quickly, having not seen that before. She took it and blushed as she put in her handle. "... H-here..."
[12:17:11 PM] CC: Once she was done, Mayais let out a grin, fangs and all, taking the device back and putting it back in his pocket. "Great. We can talk more, and if I ever start breaking your heart, you can sic your lusus on me." Cue the laughter.
[12:18:43 PM] NO: She wasn't laughing. "I wouldn't do that, I have no reason to be malicious... plus, I give everyone a second chance."
[12:20:21 PM] CC: Of course she wasn't laughing. Mayais just kept the grin going, somewhat awkwardly before letting out a sigh. "Talk about tough crowd... I better be heading back. I gotta keep an eye on my own lusus, especially with your enormous one around."
[12:20:56 PM] NO: "Right... What was your last name again?"
[12:21:14 PM] CC: "Uhhh, Nuptus. Why?"
[12:22:27 PM] NO: "It was Nice to meet you, Mr. Nuptus." She nodded and gave a small smile, waving a little before heading on her way yet again.
[12:23:27 PM] CC: God, this girl was just plain odd, but as she left you found yourself staring on, hoping she'd indeed get back to her hive safely. "G'bye!"
[12:26:38 PM] NO: Once she was back in her hive, she would be lying if she said she didn't run to her husktop to see if he had messaged her yet.
[12:27:23 PM] CC: Which, after a good while he did, of course.
