    OOC: Ah man poor Callisto will never be trusted. Just like Ari! Why do I keep forgetting to go first person?
    IC: I glanced around nervously. None of them would ever trust me and it was discouraging.

    [*Grumbles about life in general* Course, now I'd like to, but more like I'd like to slice an ear into my sleep pattern and demand for it to calm down.]

    I sighed, and looked down at Cassidy, then up at Rayk. "I'm sure you could learn," I told him. "Its not like you were ever shown how to help with kids." I looked down at Cassidy. She had fallen asleep. "Just don't practice with Ash. Shes learned enough bad words for the day."

    ooc: Naw, Riven and Shift trust 'im! 'Course I doubt that Rayk'll ever trust anyone (;) ) and Galen has her own 'trust' issues.... weird. ;D




    ic: Riven



    I looked at the new guy - Callisto, I remembered - and bit my lip when he started looking nervous. "Hey, are you okay?" I asked, not seeing why he was so agitated. He was among friends! Well... er, except for Rayk. He's only friends with his cousins.


    But Shifty's relatively friendly, so is Galen, and I try to be less obnoxious and more trusting than either of them. Just because they're so dang uptight.


    Heck, they even have codewords for specific ways of fighting!


    And then they say I'm weird for being part reptile.


    Crazy.


    Rayk


    I nodded slowly, looking at Connor. "Are you implying something?" I asked with a small smile, trying to joke around.
    Who knew if it would work - but I can try, ya know?

    Conner
    I snickered. "If you think I'm implying that Ash would irritate you to the point where you start thinking bad words, then yes, I'm implying that. She may be a cute little girl, but she also seems to have multiple personality's, have no consciousness, be partially bipolar, and has hundreds of little voices in her head. That would make anyone go crazy. Or crazier then they already are, since if there was a shrink for freaks like us, we would probably all live there, full time."

    Rayk



    I nodded thoughtfully, "Hm... true, there is that. How are you not going crazy?" I asked, eyebrow raised in partial disbelief.



    ooc: Sorry for short post - low muse. :(

    [ Its OK. Heres some muse!:

    I raised my eyebrows. "Excuse me?" I couldn't help giggling. "If I AM crazy, I'm the wrong person to ask. According to Flick, I'm insane. Of course, I think everyone knows Flick is stupid. But still. I'm the wrong person to be asked if I'm crazy. Maybe I am."

    ooc: Other such musings... [youtube][/youtube] ... if it'll work. ???




    ic: Riven



    I watched Callisto closely, wondering how close to the truth that was.


    Something I forgot to mention (unless Shifty beat me to it, gosh darn it) I sense emotions... more or less.


    Something was going on with this guy, and I wondered what it was.


    "Uh... You sure?" I asked, concerned.



    Rayk



    I nodded, partially confused. "Right... so being a half-mongrel ex-Eraser doesn't count?" I asked with a smirk, teasing as I shifted positions so my legs were in front of me.

    "Uh........yeah." I said. Something told me that this girl could sense emotions. Either that or I was reading her mind by accidentt.

    Conner
    I thought about it, sitting back. "Nah, it does," I replied, grinning, and put Cassidy to one side. I looked at him, then down at Cassidy, frowning slightly. "So does seeing everything like its a black and white movie. Good thing there aren't any shrinks we can go to!" Ash crawled over at that moment and plopped herself next to me, then fell asleep. She was snoring. "Me thinks that girl knows I don't like snoring," I said, giving her a look. She stuck her tongue out at me, still asleep.

    Rayk



    I raised my eyebrow at the little girl, then nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I'd say so... That's weird," I muttered, smiling a little. "But then again, Shift seems to be able to - somehow beyond my comprehension - occasionally get Galen to say something stupid... so I guess I shouldn't be surprised now, should I?"



    Riven



    I bit my lip, watching Callisto carefully and still not feeling like he was telling the truth. "You're positive? Like, no Eraser brainwashed you, or anything?" I pressed, worried both for him and for the rest of the flock.

    Conner
    I grinned, then leaned back, poking her. "Hey, everyone gets surprised once in a while. I wouldn't expect to never be surprised again." I smiled at him, then closed my eyes, bored.

    Riven




    I gulped slightly at his choice of words, but shoved it down, shaking my head. "Hey, that's not a problem... as long as you don't try to kill us," I replied with a small smile, trying to set him at ease. "See Rayk over there?" I asked, pointing to his dark form talking with Connor. "So was he. 'Cept he was an Avian first, and he only was half Eraserfied, and is still able to stay mostly Avian. But we trust him... so we can trust you, too," I finished with a reassuring smile.



    Rayk



    I smiled a little, wishing I'd be able to carry on a coversation without acting all awkward and embarrassed... I thought Connor was pretty cool, and I wish I'd be able to actually not act all awkward... and 'dark'.


    I sighed, looking away and felt my cheeks burn slightly with embarrassment - which most likely didn't show, seeing as I had olive-ish colored skin.


    A benefit to being Eraserfied.

    I looked up, wondering what he was thinking, as he wasn't saying anything. His cheeks were an odd coloring. If his skin had been any lighter, I would have sworn that he was blushing. Thats crazy, right? I mean, meaning no offense, hes pretty cool, when I don't look at him too long, because all that darkness gives me an even bigger headache then most things, but I wouldn't expect him to express that sort of feeling. He seems more like the cool, dark, and confident sort of fellow. Except, of course, for the fact that hes got plenty of problem weighing him down. We all have issues. I grinned at him. "Whats with the sigh? I demand to know." I said the second part like a robot, then made a blank face, "I am Muttbot4000. I am not programmed to feel sympathy, mirth, or birthday cupcakes." I hoped this would cheer him up a little. I resumed my goofy grin.

    Rayk



    I couldn't help cracking a grin at Connor's joke, shaking my head slightly at the 'Muttbot' comment. "No birthday cupcakes?" I asked in my typical quiet voice, "Man, that must be hard. I dunno, Muttbot, that seems pretty brutal," I added, feeling much better.



    Riven



    I saw the dude relax a little, though he still seemed kind of nervous. I'd done the best I could so I smiled back a little and glanced towards the forest, always on the lookout. "How close were the Erasers behind you?" I asked, my face darkening again as I heard - or felt, really - something coming from that direction.

    Conner
    I shook my head regrettfully, still grinning. "It is the one thing I have longed for," I said in the silly voice. "But I am never offered one." I smiled. "What about you? You look like you got a burnt birthday cupcake. If I stare at you for too long, you turn into a black blob." I rolled my eyes round and round to be silly.

    Rayk



    I grinned and let out a soft laugh despite myself. "A black blob? How is that not an insult?" I asked with a grin that I tried - and probably failed - to keep my fangs more or less concealed.



    Riven



    I nodded, biting my lip thoughtfully. "How long do you think we have?"
