Faunet~

"So you have no family?" he asked. This girl... she had it off far worse than he did, he felt awful for her. The sudden pang of emotion made his chest hurt. He daintily put his hand there, massaging himself, hoping the pain would go away soon.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked..." he mumbled.

Faunet~

She looked rather young to be living by herself. Then again, Bartleby was rather young to be a merchant. Was there ever a 'true' age for someone to go out on there own?

The throbbing in his chest was steadily getting worse, but he chose to ignore it. "Do you... have a home?" he asked her.

Faunet~

The Opera house... Yes, Bartleby knew of that place. He had never seen s show himself, then again, it was rare that he left the house in the first place.

Another throb of pain found it's way to him. He continued to ignore it, but was finding it a bit more difficult than before. "That sounds lovely... then again, it probably dosen't seem it from the way you're talking."

Faunet~

He sneered at this. Men could be so disgusting sometimes. "Ugh... I apoligize on behalf of my gender." he half-joked.

"It's nice that you have something that you love to do..." he mumbled. He personally had not found his calling, and at the rate he was going, he probably never would.

Kylar smiled when Bartelby had become re-entranced by the lightning bolts tht were floating. So as to make them more interesting, Kylar had them pair and seem to dance around in circles, carressing each other like lovers. Each pair had a different colour which changed hue and brightness with every passing second. It caused Kylar a little discomfort, having the lighting do so many complex things, but he longed to please. He noted that the lightning's dance was solemn and longing. Longing for the boy that he couldn't have....he shoved those thoughts further back in his mind.

"I didn't mean to frighten you when I called the lightning," Kylar muttered apologetically, his voice almost distant as his mind refused to send the thoughts back. He blocked them.

Ballet and modern I act here and there but I never sing she said disappointed

Kylar put an arm around the older boy comfortingly. He sensed there was pain deep within him, and Kylar wanted to do something to put an end to that. Since he had begun the suffering of unrequited love, he had realised how much he disliked suffering inothers, and whenever he saw it he hoped to put an end to it.

"Um the lightning...I don't know, i was born able to control it..." Kylar replied. "The colour shifting came to me about puberty, along wth my ability to condense lightning into wings...but i haven't mastered that one yet." He said with a smile, remembering trying o fly and falling to the ground, busting his shoulder. Kahlan had healed that with her talents, but god had it hurt.

"no, not long at all" Alaska responded, and then smiled bit at Jergens' compliment.
"if you would like, one of us can carry you to bed" he said softly, still toying with the other's hair.

Mick~

He flinched and pulled himself away. An 'outsider' had touched him. Without warning. Panic began to take hold on him. Would this boy take advantage of him like so many others had tried? Only when others had tried, he was safe in his home, guarded on all sides.

The sudden movement made another violent stab of pain enter him. "Ugh..." he clenched his teeth, trying his hardest not to cry out. Why did it have to be so bad now? When he was 'outside' with this 'outsider'

Faunet~

He tapped his lip in thought. "I think everyone once did something like that." he smiled. "Although my grandparents died before I was born." he admitted.

Sonata~

Bartleby didn't answer, only because he had already drifted off into sleep. His body twitched a little, an odd mannnerism of him. Jergens stood and walked back to the door, turning around as he did so. "Why don't you take him? Get a bit of experience running around this huge place? First door on the right when you exit the hall." he paused. "Don't be too loud, or you'll wake up Nip." he added in, not really bothering to explain who 'Nip' was.

(Pffft, that is so out of character it's not even funny xD But I'd thought I'd give you an outlet to end this thing)

Rapheal~

The fawn, although he would not admit it, was rather impressed at this creature. Was it a deer? Or was it cursed like he was? He lowered his head in submission, he knew when people were final about their choices.

"I've been stalking you. I apoligize for that." he raised his head. "I asked you for something terrible just based on your appearence. I apoligize for that."

"Oh...I'm sorry, I had hoped to calm or reassure you or something...i appear to have done the opposite," Kylar said apologetically before adding. "Are you alright, you sound in pain...i've got like painkillers if you want one."

He wondered whether the boy was dying but he decided not to ask the questions. "Well okay...and it's alright. I know someone who was the same way...i mean about the meeting people thing. Don't worry, I'm not gonna hurt ya by the way....I have the feeling you know someone who'd attack me, and since I'm not really the type to wield my power on someone, i'd end up in my room for days whist my sister healed me." He added with a chuckle trying to brighten the mood.

Mick~

Now he could read minds? What else could he do? Bartleby played with the hem of his shirt, finding it to be quite the entertainment. "Many people are like that... But... this is the first time I've ever left my house by myself..." now why would he admit that? It was embarassing... But it felt good to talk about it. "Usually my doctor says it isn't good for me... but I begged for him to let me go out." he chuckled mildly, his feeble attempt to brighten things.

Faunet~

"Isn't it? It's almost as if a great weight has been lifted off of you..." he trailed off. Why was he telling her these things? 'Outsiders' had weird effects on him...

"Hm. You must have a pretty weird illness if being outside isn't good for you. You're not like...a vampire in disguise are you?" Kylar laughed. "And as for going out alone. Well done...i mean if it was the first time i went out alone, the first person to talk to me probbly wouldda gotta zap..."

A strange women she suggested sheepishly

"Tell ya what," Kylar said with a smile, a bright affair full of happiness and sincerity. Kylar's true smiles never failed to cause him to exude a very positive air. "I've proven I'm harmless, and you like my lights. So how about I make sure y'ir alright, if ya think ya can't be out alone!" He proposed in a cheery voice, his scottish accent getting a little bit stronger as it always did whenever a strong positive or negative tone left his lips.

Well thanks she said kindly when he emphasized women

No you did not offend me she said quietly.As he talked about proposals she knew what he meant,the way he said it seemed to be a warning.If he only knew that was not my intintion she thought.

She laughed not unless you want to hear me complain about my pointe shoes she said jokingly.

Faunet~

He looked at her seriously. "Sure, if it bothers you, go right on ahead." Jergens always tended to complain about such things. He was used to it.

Mick~

The very thought horrified him. An 'outsider'... Someone he barely knew, carry him home? No, it was too simple to grasp. Bartleby could very easily be physically taken advantage of,
"No... That's okay. I'm fine here." he mumbled

His ears pricked up at the mention of Scotland. Ah yes, he had heard much about the country through his studies. He nodded to himself. "I've read much about it. Although you're the first of them I've seen." he said. Sure he had done buisness with them before, but only through letters, never voice.

(Ooh, this is a pleasent surprise : D Don't worry, it's fun to piss JergyJergs off ^^)

The red stag didn't even look up. The tears had stopped flowing now, but the remaining ones still lay wet on his furry cheeks.

"Why do you care?" he asked, his voice flat and emotionless. It was bad enough that someone had to find him like this. Why did it have to be this nutcase?

"You wouldn't understand it." he mumbled. "I thought I had seen enough of you at the tree..."

(failpost as well xD I'm on mah Wii, so I'm too lazy to type out the color codes)

Mick~

Bartleby brightened up. Any chance to talk about something other than himself was welcome.

"The culture, the mythology, all of it is so rich!" he exclaimed. "I've always wanted to travel around. It's too bad I can't. I bet it's beautiful..." he rambled off to himself, engrossed in his own knowledge.

"What does it look like? Is it as marvelous as the books describe it?" The pain was forgotten for now. Enlightment was all that mattered.

"Because I can. Especially when someone is alone and obviously in a miserable state, like yourself," She notioned, giving a small frown.

"Ch, you're the one that antlered. I did nothing threatening what-so-ever. Being near Rosine, a friend of mine as well, something bad? Hum?"
Jorogumo kept herself stern, calmed. She would have already snapped the stag in two if it was what she desired. But this male was someone closely tied to her new fawn friend, she could sense.

"You'd be surprised about just how much I can understand,"

('tis fine. :3)

They barely hurt any more she xplained

Faunet~

He nodded vigorously. "Yes, sometimes it always gets better once you break them in." he smiled.

Forsaken~

In his human life, Jergens had been called many names, but 'idiot' was probably the most accurate. His fur bristled in anger as she so carelessly flicked one of his antlers.

"Go on, then." he replied, grinning ear to ear. "Go on and kill me, I won't believe it till I see it." He taunted her back, daring to anger her. He lifted a hoof and licked at it daintily.

"As for what I was doing here... Piss off. Why would I tell someone like you about my problems?" he closed his eyes, almost relishing the little bit of dominance he haf gained.
