"And a squirrel or a mouse to eat," she said even before he could turn and walk away.

(( I was, and am afk the whole time anyways... sleeping, shopping, cooking and now soon eating. I don't care if there is a delay between the posts, just take your time, okay?))

The albino nodded again. "Certainly, miss." he once again fell back into old habits, bowed slightly before he walked away to get the wished items.

Just then he noticed he never had hunted anything before... nor he had an idea how to carry whater to this place...

... well he would find a way.



(...)


Huntig turned out to be much more complicated than he had thought at first. Squirrels where fast. Too fast. Fast as hell. More than once he tripped over his own feet and landed in the dirt, atempting to catch one of the critters. And he crashed into trees a few times as well.

A mouse was not even to find for him.

In dispair he finally managed to catch an oblivious lizard, that was holding a sunbath on one of the small stones near the playground.

Now only for the water...



It must been an hour or more when the albino finally returned to the place where he had left the smaller creature. The hair ruffled, here and there sticks and leafes in it, the white fur stained with dust and dirt... and a few bruises... carefully he balanced a big piece of bark between his teeth. Filled with water like a bowl. A dead lizzard hanging in his antlers. (he had to improvise to carry the food without hands....)

Miraculously he managed to put down the 'bowl' with water... letting out a huff.

The he shook off the little, dead animal, placing it next to the bowl of water.

All he wanted to do now was getting a bath and then sleeping somewhere...
... but instead he waited for the smaller one's approval.

Vittani was just spinning in

Vittani was just spinning in circles, trying to seize her dying muscles (which just died of boredom!). Probably tried to catch the tail, which was too short and small that it has achieved. What was a surprise for her when she brought water and food. Vittani looked at him in shock while watching, as if startled spirit. Who would not? "You look terrible. Should go wash yourself," said his direction and confused ears cut.

Finally got her attention lizard, which slipped from his antler and she automatically jumped after her, just creating dust. Apparently she missed the fact that he can not hunt so actively and persistently. She caught the lizard in her mouth, threw for a moment shaking and tearing into the air. She opened her mouth and gently lifted the front foot from the ground, how she wanted to jump up falling prey. Lizard fell precisely and jaw behind her closed to subsequently swallowed and just licked. Only then walked slowly to the bark with water. She watched in disbelief, before finally drink. "It would take more." she said after a moment.

The white had kept his eyes

The white had kept his eyes lowered down the whole time. Just in good old times.
Silently he listened to her words, then he bowed his head down again.

"Of course." Immediately he bowed down to pick up the 'bowl' again, before he turned around to get more food and water.

Not one moment he seemed to think about the fact that this wasn't his duty... nor seemed to questioning to 'serve' the smaller one.

Vittani tilted her head in

Vittani tilted her head in confusion. "Is he serious...?" she said to herself. She did not know if it makes the goodness of their hearts or because he felt sorry for her. Who knows what his life was past. She was not going to deal with it. This care she liked, especially when had to use her feet. Slowly passed and waited for his return.

Once again it took nearly an

Once again it took nearly an hour for him to return, allthough he had walked up streight to the playground rocks again to find more lizards. For that he had been lucky enough to catch two of the critters.

Carying them once again in his antlers, he placed the newly filled bowl in front of her once again, this time he made it without spiling half of it on the way to her, therefore it was more whater than earlier.

Vittani greeted him with a

Vittani greeted him with a slight smile. Her tiny tail squirmed and ears attached to the head, as always, when someone would like to see. She was kind of one that waiting an hour. This world is not small. And someone like him, no hunting skills... she could forgive him her waiting. "I just wanted to water," she said to him softly, when she saw that she also carries food. She pulled the front legs out from under her body and indicated where it's put. Published yet strange muffled and almost happy sound that gets the food again for nothing. "But thank you. You're more than I could myself."

He stared at her for a

He stared at her for a moment, before a faint shade of red colored his cheeks. Only food eh?
"Oh." he made, over his embarrassing mistake. He had made her wait for nothing... almost.
He cleared his throat. "I am sorry." he muffled, before he took a few steps backwards.
For a moment he hesitated... then he dared to let himself drop down to the ground. Finally resting... at least a little bit.

Vittani let it be, let rest,

Vittani let it be, let rest, he deserves it. She slowly reached for a few pieces in the form of lizards and began to organize the whole, than focusing on water, which disappeared as quickly as before. She was not going to rise, as made ??clear and would rather just accept everything it brought. When she saw his tired on the ground, slowly stood up and walked over to him, then to lay before him like a pillow - with the only difference being that nice and she purred seductively.

For a moment he had allowed

For a moment he had allowed himself to clos his eyes, opened them again when he heard a movement in front of him.
Awkwardly he stared down at the smaller, blinked a few times. Finally he felt the need to say something.
"Eh... d...do you have any other wish?" he scattered.

"Why should I be a wish?

"Why should I be a wish? Meals've got the whole day, maybe two, if I eat a little, and I think tomorrow you'll get water for myself," she said. She looked him in the face. "Actually, I had one wish... You - relax." she said when muzzle touched his feet and tried to use them a little in return for its soporific purring, or simply want to feel safe and background. "Before you fall asleep, tell me something..."
Beteigeuze's picture

Relaxing...? Oh he would

Relaxing...? Oh he would gladly follow this request. He let out a little sight of relief. Her next words let his ears perk up a little. "Telling something...?" another slight frown appeared on his face.

"Yes, tell me something," she

"Yes, tell me something," she said as she slowly lifted her head to look at him. Eyes narrowed, however, little darting them and the surrounding country. "Maybe... maybe..." thinking out loud and then quiet for moment. She looked away somewhere, before looking at him again. "Tell me about the human world."
Beteigeuze's picture

His head twitched aside

His head twitched aside slightly. He was surprised about this request. First he wondered how she could know about his origin, then he guessed it may wasn't that hard to see...
"I... I...eh..." he scattered again. "Why?" he then dared to ask a question in return.

"I want the world to see, but

"I want the world to see, but Red said, it's a dangerous place for someone like me," she said. Her mind yet attacked the idea that they should go and once to ask him or follow him to the human world... but who knows how it would turn out. "And therefore, since I can not go there, better listen to the stories."
Beteigeuze's picture

He looked at her for a while.

He looked at her for a while. He had no idea who that 'red' was, but he or she was propably right. Animals where there to be hunted, after all. He decided to stay quiet about this, though.
"Well... it... is actually like here. Just with humans." he paused for a moment, noticing immediately that this description won't be enough.
"There is not only forest... there are also meadows, fields...eh... streets... farms.. houses... cities..." he stopped again, a little helpless about how to describe it.

She crossed her front legs

She crossed her front legs and her head resting on them, staring up at Betei. "And then? There's also too blue sky and dark night?" she asked curiously.

For today, I have to go, but write back tomorrow. x)

He nodded "Oh yes... just..."

He nodded "Oh yes... just..." He thought for a moment. "It changes faster. We have day and night more regular than here. The weather changes more, too." He nodded silently again, before he lowered his eyes down.

((Alright, I think I will go to bed as well ))

Vittani listening to him.

Vittani listening to him. "You do not want the world to talk about it? I see it in you." she added as she let out a long yawn and put her head back. She sensed him strange docility and timidity, which aroused in her a sense of dominance. Nevertheless, due to fatigue could not do anything.
Beteigeuze's picture

He looked down at her for a

He looked down at her for a moment, before he took his eyes off her again. Yes that was the one reason... though he would talk about his former home if someone asked him. There was just this problem: "It is not easy to describe to one that was never there." he replied silently.

"All those who have a human

"All those who have a human face, were in the human world," yawned Vittani. Hind legs slightly pulled closer to the body, before they finally decided to really relax and relieve more than he does. Gently lift up and caught one of his feet, which she propped her head again, but this time there were over them and legs. A clear sign that he's not going anywhere, if she want.
Beteigeuze's picture

The albino winced slightly at

The albino winced slightly at the sudden closeness, stared awkwardly down to her. "Eh... m...maybe... but you..h...haven't. Therefore it is hard to describe to you..." he scattered again, trying to move away from her discretely.

She would not let him go, and

She would not let him go, and when he moved and tried to free his foot from her grasp, her fur bristled warningly and her soft, soporific and pleasant purr has turned into a loud growl, hiss or rather. She may dominate and be lifted in order to liberate.
Beteigeuze's picture

Eventually he gave up.

Eventually he gave up.
Silently he turned his eyes and face away from her and to the ground, waiting and bearing.

Vittani reached for his head.

Vittani reached for his head. "What's wrong, what's wrong?" began to pry. Her hair fell to its original position, and she just started gently poking nose to his head.
Beteigeuze's picture

Another frown appeared on his

Another frown appeared on his face, while he stretched and cranes his head, to get out of her reach.
"Nothing." he muttered.

"When someone says this,

"When someone says this, there's always something going on." she replied simply. Then she stood up and walked around it. Jumped on his back, her head bent to to his. "Something bothering you? That I know... Bothers me too many things... What is it, what is your trouble?" Her eyes received special shine.
Beteigeuze's picture

The frown on his face got

The frown on his face got deeper when she now climbed on his back, his head moving down as hers came closer. A slight tension grabbed his muscles.
"W.. would you please go down...?" he mumbled finally.

Fore Vittani just clutched

Fore Vittani just clutched his back and pulled her head back to him. "Tell me what's bothering you, dear," she teased him gently and began to lick the hair behind the neck. Her nose after that point and ran up and down her front teeth combed white hair.
Beteigeuze's picture

"You! On my back!" it finally

"You! On my back!" it finally burst out of him while he shook his head rapidly. Then he fell silent again for a moment. "My apologiez." he muttered again, much more silent. "Pleas go down... i really don't like this." he mumbled.

Vittani just sad sigh. Slowly

Vittani just sad sigh. Slowly bounced and jumped off him like a mountain. "Whatever..." she sighed sadly. Shook up and slowly walked a little farther. Turned to it so that it did not have to watch and put slowly on the ground.
Beteigeuze's picture

The albino shook himself.

The albino shook himself. Combined with all the dirt he had collected earlier he could now clearly smell the scent of the smaller one all over him. Or at least he thought he could. A faint feeling of sickness spreaded in his stomach. He wished nothing more than jumping up now and rushing to the waterfalls. Still he stayed where he was.
"I don't know your name yet." he begun silently again. "Would you tell me, miss?"

Vittani tilted her head and

Vittani tilted her head and jerked her head back. "Well, and what you will about me... Just lose interest as soon as they recover. Who knows if there was something sincere." growled annoyed. But it was obvious that it's just her way of protest and her naughty behavior and teasing.
Beteigeuze's picture

He listened to her silently,

He listened to her silently, as always a distant look on his face, eyes turned down. He was used to jumpy behaviour like this... and to leash-outs against him. In the past it had became daily life for him. And so he didn't protest, neither he tried to defend himself. He had learned that it was useless... and only brought more trouble for him. Once again he had difficulties in telling past and present apart.
"Do you wish me to go, miss?" he asked.

When he spoke about leaving,

When he spoke about leaving, she immediately turned her head. "You want to leave me here alone? Mercy on all danger?" she asked in alarm.
Beteigeuze's picture

He lifted his head again, to

He lifted his head again, to cast a glance at her. "No. But you don't sound too happy about my presence. So I ask you if you want me to go."

"What are you talking about?"

"What are you talking about?" she asked again and stood up. Slowly she passed, but not to break his personal boundary zone. Lowered head. "I'm glad you're here. You're about the only one who's coming to see me at least." told him and pulled her head apologetically. "We will go to the water? Got a little thirsty."
Beteigeuze's picture

He tilted his head silghtly.

He tilted his head silghtly. "No one else?" escaped him. He had thought there where at least some family... or friends to visit.

Immediately he got up again, bowed his head slightly. "Of course."

"No one else. Sometimes for

"No one else. Sometimes for me comes one who raised me. Friends have their families can not be with me. Come to me another one, blue..., but its presence is too so rare." she said after a moment. When he stood up, Vittani turned toward Pond and the direction the step released. Her movement was graceful, feline like, but her physique showed how far into the feline... while the same distance on the other side to cervids. "So if it takes over, you're really only one."
Beteigeuze's picture

He listened to her silently

He listened to her silently again, didn't drop any comment on this. Instead he followed his own thoughts.

The albino followed her to the pond, determinded to take this chance for a short bath, when they would arrive.

Vittani stopped for a few

Vittani stopped for a few moments on the bridge. Probably something lured her eyes and she watched. What could not be determined. Finally, when she interrupted a stranger, looked briefly at the Betei. Despite smile crossed her face, trying to calm any questions and sharp trot subsequently ran from the bridge to the water. Finally, do some long jumps before she started this "jump" into deeper water, where with his head under the water not only saw, but mainly hunt small fish and frogs. Unfortunately, the water stirred up, so that too much and not caught but one not too thick frogs. It disappeared in a flash Vittani to put into the water. The wound on her shoulder a little pinched and she whimpered slightly, she immediately calmed down and watching the Betei.

Again he followed slowly...

Again he followed slowly... then as soon as the water was in reach, he fastened his steps. Stopping at the shore he drank a few mouth full, before he quickly went into the deeper water, trying his best to clean of dirt and scent.
It was easier at the waterfals... and there he didn't need to watch out to not lose his glasses either... but for now this would be enough.

When he was done with his cleaning he let out a sight... settled down close to the smaller one again.

Vittani watched him for a

Vittani watched him for a moment, before she decided to have a few moments of fun. She took a breath and closed her eyes, ears firmly attached to the head and then flipped on its side. What makes her whole body was under water, including the head. When mud is settled again, it was seen Vittani, lying on the bottom. She acted as if asleep, maybe a little like drowned.
Beteigeuze's picture

(sorry, got stolen away.) A

(sorry, got stolen away.)

A frown appeared on his face again. For a few moments he simply watched her, cofusion in his eyes...
...then after another few moments he decided that this was maybe too long for simply leaving the head under water. He jumped up, made a fast approach to her to see if she was alright.

Vittani apparently well

Vittani apparently well entertained. Apparently she could hold her breath for a good time, but when she was startled, almost breath in water. She opened her eyes, still under water and lifted her head sharply. Her jaw slammed idle, perhaps trying to catch air. She shook her head and continued to lie remained in the water and breathed. For a moment her eyes peered around, before she slowly stood up. "Where do we go now?"
