[fancypost borderwidth=0pt; width: 450px;][align=center]_{he felt a strong pounding in his ears as he stared down to the chasms below that harbored a great sense of depth and magnitude. it was also here that apparently several clan cats had commuted suicide, which to him was unfathomable. suicide was something he'd never understand, why would you leave this world behind? sure, things could be shit now but it wasn't as if they'd stay that way and besides, if you had friends or family, you'd hurt them in the process. this idea of killing yourself was fascinating, and his curiosity in it was a bit eerie but it was because of it that he arranged to meet sober here. would it spark up emotions? maybe he was searching for a angle to peer inside or be able to console her or perhaps he just wanted her to...feel. feel bad he was possibly leaving.}

_{would she even care? yes. she'd probably beg him to stay but it was ripping him apart to see her everyday, everyday she wasn't his. he wasn't going to pronounce his love for her, no that wouldn't do. maybe in due time but certainly not at this moment. this moment would just be a...good day. they could talk, take a stroll. just a normal outing for two friends.it was likely that the large snow leopard would throw in a few unexpected questions here and there, ones that would be concealed such as; 'what do you think about maskedpaw?' or 'riverheart had a mate, doesn't he?'
they'd have to be well stitched into their overall conversation for her not to see past the veiled questions or else she could very well grow suspicious. and vi did not want that.

[fancypost borderwidth=0pt; width: 450px;][align=center]_{so she refused to come up? pity. the sun was just setting and he supposed that could set a very serene mood because everyone thought that they were beautiful or elegant. how so? he had no clue, it was the sun. you saw it everyday, it wasn't as if the sun setting was a once in a lifetime thing but everyone flipped shit when the fiery orb of gas slid beneath the horizon. hmm, he was getting distracted; the point currently being made was that she wouldn't come up here but rather thought he fancied trampling down there and he half wanted to refuse and once again press her to come join him but he knew it was pointless. the stubborn cheetah would probably just sit down and stare up at him until he cave in or just simply walk away, neither of which he cared for.}

_{"very well." he replied with a slight snarky tone but it was washed clean from his face as soon as he started to leap downwards, bringinng a cascade of various shapes of rocks tumbling down the sheer cliff side but he was able to get his footing in the thin and sometimes larger crevices that he was able to sink his claws in. grunting distastefully at this scenario he finally was able to hop down to the same elevated ground that sober was at, looking rather bored with everything in the world but inside he was kind of pissed. he wasn't quite sure why, it had been annoying clambering around after he had taken the time to get up there, yet normally it took extra things to set him off.}

_{"a walk? dull. but fine." the snow leopard semi growled and without waiting for an answer vi prowled forward, expecting sober to just plod along after him and he basked in the fact it was silent because he knew the fragility of the scene would be broken at once when her loud voice broke it. not that he loathed her voice but she seemed to love the cluttered air whereas he liked a more quiet backdrop and besides he preferred to start the conversations. not this time though, this time he was just waiting with bated breath.}

[fancypost borderwidth=0pt; width: 450px;][align=center]_{"of course i remember. i was there, so why wouldn't i?" he answered back without a trace of emotion, except for the moderate hint of confusion as to why she would assume he'd forgotten such a thing. "i recall everything from the zoo, it's boring to speak of it. i often reflected back on my life there when i was traveling alone, i practically memorized that portion of my life. let's talk about something else." indeed, something else. something that had been nagging and itching at his fur for awhile and his previous irritation evaporated into something softer inside, surely not outside, as he turned to stare at sober while stopping abruptly.}

_{"sober, in fact there is something i've been meaning to ask you. this might sound like a strange question but as a childhood friend i am simply just...curious." friend. pathetic. he had called himself a friend, meaning he had friend zoned himself yet he hoped she would graze over that once he dropped his next words, "do you have a mate yet?" he made sure that nothing cracked on his dry face, except he allowed a glimmer of boredom to sheen in his eyes before vi settled down on the ground, patting the spot next to him and giving the impression that this would be a long talk.}

_{OOC; Hmm, yeah. Just friends, just friends...Plus I ship Sobermirth ^.^

[fancypost borderwidth=0pt; width: 450px;][align=center]_{he almost believed her. almost. he took in account that she said she had no mate, which he found to be honest, but her statement of interests was what set him on guard, and sure enough he was able to catch the smile that made his own lips curl upwards but certainly not with delight. he leaned closer to her, like he was going to share a secret, before whispering simply "bull. shit." it all added up, now didn't it? he was still not certain on who she liked but it was clearly not him or else she wouldn't of kept it so bottled up, nor would she try to conceal it from him. she was trying to pull a blindfold over his eyes, now wasn't she? he wasn't a fucking idiot...he didn't need protecting. but it still...hurt. but with hurt other emotions often played a role and he just so happened to be blessed with a temperamental side and suddenly a low growl formed in the back of his throat as he rose to his full height, towering over the spotted creature.}

_{"what? you honestly want me to believe your web of lies? still want me to believe that you don't want 'any male to touch you! because you were raped?' are you scared to say it? it happened, didn't it? are you scared if you say it then jaka's going to come tearing down these mountains? and who was there to comfort you? certainly not any of your stupid clan friends. who kept talking to you even though you kept shouting at them to go away? who slept near the bars instead of in their comfy heated den, because someone didn't want to go into theirs? who the fuck protected you? who the fuck helped you leave that goddamn place?" he was trembling now. dammit. he hated giving anything away but alas his tone and words were already doing that. "all my life i've been there for you. not skyclan. not maskedpaw or habitmirth or riverheart or whoever else you've been screwing around with. you don't even have the decency to look me straight in the face and tell the truth? what? you think i care? why would i care if you actually told me the truth? i just asked a question because i was bored. nothing more, but what pisses me off is that you think that you'll somehow hurt my feelings. my feelings don't get hurt sober, i'm a fucking robot."}

_{"you think you're so much better then me? don't you? just because you have your friends, and your stupid ass clanmates and all this order. the old you loved the open skies, we used to look up at the stars and talk about how one day we'd be free. and that we'd be travelers together, nothing would ever tie us done. but look at you now, and look at me. i kept the promise that two little cubs swore to each other and you didn't. does my very presence sicken you? am i tainted now? should you shun me like the rest of your friends have?"}

_{the muscular snow leopard had gotten a hold of his shaking limbs and now he was perfectly still but his eyes were alive with burning fury as he spat out everything, well almost everything, he'd been holding in for quite some time and he took a dangerous step towards sober, getting awfully close to her and enough to shove his face inches away from hers but suddenly he backed off, still looking as if he wanted to strike her but instead he looked away for a moment while taking a breath.}

_{"come with me. we can keep the promise that two cubs made to each other while they were living in hell. we can make them happy, we can make their dreams come true. leave this place behind, they don't actually care for you...you're just another face lost in the crowd. you think they love you? you think they adore you? they won't be afraid to turn on you in a blink of an eye if it benefits the clan. they don't even know you sob. i can teach you how to be a merchant, you can see all the different clans and the best thing is; you never have to stay. you make friends but you'll never run the risk of losing them or them stabbing you in the back. you get to see the world, no rules, nothing but the open air and our wares. you've always wanted to see the ocean, right? it's nowhere near here, but i can take you there. we can see all the big cities, all the wonders of the world."
his sudden shift in mood went from being a screeching male to one that was relaxed but it was vital to know that vi was still grasping that burning demeanor but it was carefully replaced with a calmer one. one that she'd find more tempting but he feared his outburst would likely...alter her answer.}

<sub>OOC; I plan on him going a little coo-coo and then leaving...And probably coming back with a lady who reforms him which will probably cause some issues but yay! Drama!
Muse EXPLOSION! He really is a piece of work, isn't he? <3

[fancypost borderwidth=0pt; width: 450px;][align=center]_{"all you had to do is say no." he replied coldly, with eyes the resembled nothing but that chilling arctic glaciers that tumbled to the sub zero waters below and they cascaded downwards as he searched for something to feel. anything. but he couldn't feel anything, it was like he was getting rid of an organ that made him live and breathe everyday but then another factor tiptoed into his soul and he began to sense something surging up, with strong and vibrant firepower but it wasn't anything soft or cushy, with a side of sympathy or understanding. it was a platter of cold temper served with a burning enraged structure that stiffened when her paw was gently placed on his. in any other scenario, any other time. he would've been pleasantly shocked. but not this time.}

_{snapping his teeth only inches from her face, he wrenched away from the slim figure and hissed through gritted teeth, "i left my family for you! we were getting relocated, you know? maybe i would've gone to a better zoo. maybe thry were going to set us free to where we truly belong. but instead i get nothing! not a damn thing. and for what? for you?" his last words were followed by a laugh to them, almost maniacally before chuckling some more, "me? stay in skyclan? change? you're insane. i love how i have to change who i am, in order to be loved. that's great. that's fucking great."}

_{lashing his shorter tail he let one last fit of laughter to escape through his pursued lips until he fell into a shifty silenece with eyes that were snakelike, all for her. "and i almost thought you were the same. almost thought that maybe i could help you out of that...that stupid personality you've grown into! i used to think you were unique but turns out; you're nothing special. you're just...you." vi spat out the use of 'you' like a bitter crab apple he just sank his teeth into before taking a step away from her, like she was contagious.}

_{he was hurting so bad.}
