No, she knew that she'd be trouble, in one way or another. He just wouldn't complain, that's all. She could tell he'd do anything for her, and she could tell he'd do it willingly and wouldn't put up a fuss, and he even might want to do it and be happy doing it, but she knew it would eventually lead to some sort of trouble. Sparrow knew it. Either she'd get into some sort of trouble, or he'd get into trouble, and one day, they might not make it out alive. She knew he'd be heartbroken and probably wouldn't want to go on, but she wasn't sure how her own self would fair. She'd miss him and mourn, but would she be able to get up and walk away? If she didn't love him, she probably would.

The gray and white fae watched as the male torbie. He was determined to stay with her, he really was, but that could change over time. Everything always did. When he got behind her a bit of fear entered her heart, but not enough to make her nervous or to make her run. he wasn't getting kittens. Not yet, not even if he begged. So, she flicked him playfully on the nose with her tail and padded a few feet. Then she looked back to see if he would follow. Or, if it had all just been an act to get kittens out of her, if he'd run after being denied what he wanted. She hoped that wasn't the case, but again, she didn't know what went on inside his mind. he could be a conniving murderer and she wouldn't know it until it was too late and the deed was done. Or, the kill could be so swift and silent she wouldn't know what happened.

Onyx didn't seem like a murderer, but he could be. It was a possibility. It was also a possibility that he hadn't wanted kittens and was just waiting for her to lead the way. That was more likely, but more likely in her head. In logic, both possibilities could be even. Sparrow usually listened to logic, since it showed the obvious, but in some cases, like this one, it might be better to listened to your own head instead of the world's.

Onyx rolled his orange eyes. "I'm not trying to mate you," he mewed playfully, and slowly walked after her. "I don't have anything else to do except follow you," he continued as the tobie reached the fea, and, once again, stood behind her, waiting for her to go somewhere.

He wasn't being impatient, not at all. His muscles rippled under his silken spotted coat as he sauntered up to her side. "Is that better?" he asked Sparrow. She looked as though she thought he was going to attack her when she least expected it, so he had moved forward in an attept to ease her nerves at least a little.

ooc: OMAIGOD!!! Me and Speedy have one of the threads of the month!!!!

[katzen22]

That reassured her, but she was also a bit embarrassed that he had figured out her suspicions. She didn't want to think Onyx untrustworthy, and she didn't want him to think that she thought him untrustworthy, but no matter what you told yourself or how many times you tell yourself, there will always be doubts in the back of your mind. He said he would stay with her, so how else would he stay with her other than follow her? Of course, he could force her to stay in one place, but she didn't think he would do that. Even if logic told her not to.Sparrow noticed his patience, and wondered if that came from an undying loyalty he had for her. If love was truly like what she heard, and if Onyx loved her as much as he claimed, would he take a fang in the throat for her? he said he'd doing anything to keep her alive, but did that include dying? She didn't want to imagine him doing that, and couldn't. She didn't want anyone with a heart like his to die like that, especially for her life in return. She'd rather see him live for her than die.

Sparrow couldn't help but smile as he moved in front of her to ease her nerves. She had been feeling nervous, and it had been her own mind creating it. Sometimes she wondered why she had been born with a brain that forced itself to look at every angle of something, good or bad. She didn't want to tell him that he hadn't had to do that, since he had only been trying to help, but she didn't want to tell him how nervous she had really been, since it had been him that was causing her nerves. he would think that, but it had been her mind, creating silly little endings to their relationship. Endings that weren't very happy. So, she just laughed a little and simply said, "Thanks,"

The gray fae didn't know where to go. She didn't know the town, being a new citizen and all, so she didn't know what way led where, if even what the town had. She didn't know what dangers Nenbrook had hidden in it's shadows. She had found her way to the dump in the dark, metaphorically speaking. She'd wandered around the edge of town, too scared to go in deeper and not brave enough to leave and take her chances somewhere else. Her tail fell and her ears went back as she thought. "Um...do you know where to go?" She felt awkward. Onyx could be used to the town and might know where everything is or what cats are in it. She felt a bit inferior to the tome for a moment.

ooc: Yeah, I followed the thread and agree with Apo almost entirely.

[Onyx Stargazer]

((*blushes* ;D))

Onyx dipped his head to her thanks. "I don't really know the town that well yet," he meowed, shuffling his forepaws as his briight orange orbs stared down at them. He stopped and straightened up before shrugging and murmuring, "We could explore."

The brown torbie really didn't know what to do now, except for following Sparrow, But he could guess that niether of them had anything to do. His short-furred spotted tabby tail slapped against his hip, flicking a curious fly from his spotted silver and brown pelt. "I think we should get out of this wasteland, though. The flies are become all to intentive," he joked, smiling.

[katzen22]

Sparrow felt relieved. She knew she had no reason to feel inferior to the torbie tom, but she couldn't help it. All other cats in her life had treated her like she was inferior, so maybe she had started to believe it, or maybe she had felt more comfortable being the weakest link, the one that there's no reason to hurt or kill. Becoming inferior had kept her away from attention, and that's how she liked it. She didn't feel superior to him, not at all. She felt...equal. And he treated her as his equal, or, and she might be taking this a step to far, as a superior. She felt her pelt crawl at the thought of exploring the unknown. But, she thought, it might be exciting. And Onyx wouldn't let anything happen to her, well, he could try. She felt braver next to Onyx, and maybe would explore a little, as long as he followed her, which she knew he would.

"It can't hurt." Her voice cracked slightly, fear hidden in the words. She knew it could hurt. Anything could hurt if it wanted to, given the chance. She was hesitant to go out there, deeper into the strange town, filled with dark shadows and dangers. She knew most of it was in her head, but she also knew that some of it was real. The less frightening parts, and that sometimes gave her comfort in times of darkness. She didn't know where to go, so she decided to just wing it. Hopefully they could find food, shelter, and safety somewhere in the town. Sparrow wouldn't mind to snuggle up next to Onyx on a cold, stormy night. She was grateful that she had stumbled upon a good friend, and maybe even more, if destiny allowed it.

She tasted the air, her short, gray pelt blowing softly in the breeze. Danger could be anywhere, and it was better to check for danger than to go off without having the slightest hint of what could happen. She knew, from the scents she caught, that they probably wouldn't encounter another cat. She squeezed her way through the gates to the dump, her slim body coming in handy. She wanted to run when she left the safety of the familiar dump. Her paws her hesitant to continue, but she forced them. being a coward could cause death by starvation or dehydration. If you were too scared to go out and look for food or water then the elements would eventually claim you, one way or another.

ooc: Would you like to start another thread to RP in somewhere else?

[Onyx Stargazer]

Onyx began to follow Sparrow, head-butting the gate, making the opening wider so that he could slip his masculine body through it. Out on the other side, and began following the small grey and white she-cat, staying almost beside her, only just a little bit back.

He started thinking to himself about what he was doing; Onyx was trying to impress Sparrow. His hopes plummeted into an endless abyss of darkness, untill it reached hell; dead hopelessness. How was he going to do that with his mother's attitude? It was almost impossible.

His brown mother with the white chest and paws had been a stuck up snob, not very good at first impressions. She had the tongue of an angry beehive, and he had gotten half of that. He suppressed a shudder as he remembered his meeting with Tempest. He had given the grey tabby a bite to remember, he figured it might leave a small scar on her ear-tip, and had almost completely lost it. But, did he have a choice? With his sharp tongue, his anger-managment, and the fact that she was diliberatly tormenting him because he had made friends with a dog? He had no idea. He supposed he could have made a better choice, had he not have blown up like that, and he was lucky he and her had been sort of nuetral in the end, and not on the verge of killing each other. He might have thought she would be a friend, but he couldn't be sure. He flicked his thoughts away as he treked after Sparrow, going who knows where.


((ooc: Sure. Where should they go to?))

[katzen22]

Sparrow paused and looked back over her shoulder. She hoped he wasn't trying to impress her. Impressing her was always a waste of time. Any of the nicer males in her previous homes tried to impress her, and finding it impossible they resulted to force. None of them could ever catch her. The truth was she didn't care about looks, strength, speed, or anything else like that. If any of the males had just sat down and gotten to her and let her get to know him, then maybe she would have fallen for one and had kittens. It was unlikely, but a possibility. All they needed to do was talk, and the only talking any of them really ever did to her were threats and insults. Yeah, like any cat would be impressed by that.

Her mother might have fallen for one of the males, since all she had really wanted in like were strong kittens. Maybe her mother had fallen in love with another cat, once. Maybe her father had been a weak stray, and her mother had fallen for him. Maybe that's why she was so weak and helpless in the world. And maybe that's why her mother hated her so.

Sparrow wished she could confide in the brown torbie tom behind her. Tell him all her troubles, and tell him what she'd been through. Maybe he could tell her some of his experiences too, and she could help him through those. That's what friends did, wasn't it? Confide in each other and make each other feel better? But, if they did do that, she'd like someplace rather than a dump. Some place where they wouldn't be disturbed. Not by other cats, or humans, or dogs, or anything dangerous. Someplace quiet, peaceful, pretty. Her first home had been pretty, but she never wanted to return to a place like that ever.

ooc: We could go Inside the Woods?
