Forum-Index → Roleplay → Private RP → The Animals Inside Them [1x1 with wolfgirl2398]Most apothecaries in the poorer areas tended to also act as hospitals; Jack didn't have enough time to waste stressing about the worst case scenario. "U-um, hi," he said to the woman, whose ears pinned back. She walked up to them.
"I'll fix you right up, darling. You're not hurt, correct?" She said, clucking her tongue with pity and lightly putting her hands on Crystal's shoulders as she looked at Jack through her wire-framed glasses.
"N-no. Just her."
"Sit right down, then." The woman ushered Crystal off to another room.

Jinx chuckled softly and leaned on the counter. "I'm sorry, but you just get so flustered! It's like you've never been complimented before--it's absolutely adorable," she teased lightly. Her face grew a little bit more serious, "Although, just to put it out there, I wouldn't go after Felix. He's a flirt, but I would keep up a guard so he doesn't play with your heart."

''i-i can't really feel my right eye anymore.... my left one feels alright, it's just my right eye... i've been too scared to open my eyes to let my friend check them'' she said as she was ushered along to the back.
~~~~~~~~~~
''that's because i never was complimented with good terms associated with it...! half the time it's drunkards or pervs trying to flirt with me, so getting genuine compliments i'm not used to'' she huffed.
Willow then perked up and tilted her head slightly when Jinx warned her about Felix.
''it's not like i fell in love at first sight Jinx, i'm not desperate to get into a relationship'' she said, pulling a hairband from a flower on her dress that was big enough to be a pocket and decided to put her bushy hair back into a ponytail.
Yuzuki simply decided to go back to playing, keeping his plushie close as he played.
"The wound doesn't seem quite as deep near the right eyelid. That being said, I can't guarantee that your eyesight will be affected. It's best to wait until after it heals," she lightly cleaned up the blood on her skin with a cotton ball and rubbing alcohol.
"For now I'll just make sure that it doesn't get infected--it'll most likely scar, I'm sorry about that, dear." She sighed and began the healing process.
--------------
Jinx only nodded and hoped that Crystal would be true to her word.

''i-i figured it would scar.... i'm not bothered by scars, my father had plenty since he used to work in the guard, he had a really nasty one that went over his face that missed his eyes... i just...... don't want to loose my vision in the one eye'' she said.

she pulled back on her clothes a little bit after she finished putting her hair up and tried to go to sleep.
The woman sorted ointments and herbs into a bag. The moment she had finished and returned Crystal to the front room, Jack had taken his place by her side. He was strangely silent and his face was unreadable in a way that made the woman mildly uncomfortable, but he seemed to care for Crystal and listened carefully when she explained what the contents in the bag were for and how to apply them properly.
"I do hope the best for you two," she said warmly, her ears pinning back. She told Jack the price and he began to count it out in coins. He spoke simply, "Thank you."
He then took the bag and put a light hand on Crystal's arm to guide her outside the apothecary; the speed at which he moved confused the woman as he seemed eager to leave as soon as possible.

Silver ransacked her apartment and began to shove necessities into a backpack. Her weapons she stored on her person. She moved quickly and efficiently--the military had taught her well--and spent any extra time she had until Mango arrived to take away personal records and hide her traces.

Crystal simply allowed herself to be guided and swiveled her ear's around in every direction, listening, wanting to at least make sure she could help move around occasionally if needed.
''Jack calm down..... i know you hate going into places but... your going to make people suspicious.......'' she whispered to him once they were out of earshot.
~~~~~~~~~~
mango had stopped by a small shop on his way to Silver's apartment and simply picked something, and was at the door knocking., keeping the small long box hidden in his sweater's pocket.
he was fairly quick despite being half orange tabby, so he made it there rather quickly.
what's with all the noise inside....? he thought, swiveling his ear's forward to listen.
He sighed and stopped walking to look at his surroundings. "Sorry. I didn't mean to break out into a rant there." His tail swished rhythmically and he piled his meandering focus onto it to gather himself.
"Where should we go next?" Jack looked over at Crystal. His eyes softened--of course, she wouldn't be able to see that--when he looked at her patched-up face; he was less concerned about the future of her eyesight, which was an entire bout of stress he didn't want to look into, and more about their current journey. I guess we'll have to take a pause on the travels.
----------
Silver flinched when she heard the hollow, repetitive thuds on the door. Force members would've knocked louder, she thought, painfully familiar with their aggressive nature. She did a double-take of her house and the contents of her backpack. It was only at this moment that she realized she would quite miss it; she had been comfortable in her current situation and was not looking forward to that being torn apart. Disappearing into the unknown did not seem like a fair trade.
But it's that or war.
Silver pinned back her ears and walked towards the door. She opened it, swiftly stepped out, then closed and locked it. "Hey, how's it going?" She greeted, kneeling down to slide the key under the doormat.

though once he asked about where they should go next her smile faded and she pinned her ears back, the thought never really crossing her mind at the time since she was focused on trying to get her wound looked at.
''i honestly don't know.... maybe find some shelter, like an abandoned house..... we need to hold onto whatever money we have until we get outside the walls...'' she muttered.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Mango had stepped out of the way so Silver could do what she needed and gave a fairly small smile, a hint of sadness entering his olive green gaze.
''so no talking you out of leaving then huh....? i figured as much since you ran off so quickly....'' he muttered, ear's drooping slightly, not enough to notice right off the bat anyway.
he was getting straight to the point rather than delaying the inevitable like she was.
Mango pulled the small box out of his pocket that was had a neatly tied bow on in and held it out to her, a small blush dusting over his face.
''if you really are leaving, then at least take a parting gift to remember me by....'' he said softly.
(this is what he got for her)
--------
Silver sighed but mustered a small, sad smile. "I... yeah. I-i guess. I don't know where I'll go, but I'll make sure I'll do something good." Her eyes were drawn to the box and her ears swiveled with interest. A genuine flare meshed with her smile and she delicately took the gift.
She laughed, softly, her tail curling around her calf. "Thank you, Mango. This is... really nice of you. It means a lot to me, it really does. You're a good friend. I hope I see you again."

''we should have enough money to last us a few days.... the weapon salesmen was fairly generous when i sold most of my father's weapon's to him... honestly i didn't want to sell them but it made travelling easier, i kept the dagger he gave me plus a couple other daggers that i have on my belt'' she said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
he listened to her speak and the moment he seen hee smile shift to a genuin one and heard her soft laugh, his heart fluttered and the faint blush on his face darkened a shade, smiling brightly as a soft purr rumbled in his throat.
''i'm... glad you like it Silver..... heh, i would've been a little upset if you didn't'' Mango teased, playfully pinching her arm lightly before he pulled her into a hug.

he watched her pull away from the hug and his heart just melted at seeing her grow bashful, his gaze softening.
he leaned down slightly as he softly placed a hand on her cheek and pressed a feather light kiss to the corner of her lips, then pulled away as the blush on his face finally flushed a deep red.
''if it hand't been obvious... i've actually had strong feeling towards you myself..... i've.. just been to scared to openly tell you, in fear of making things awkward between us..'' he murmured softly, but loud enough for her and her alone to hear.
"G....goodbye. Hopefully, we can talk again later." She promptly shook his hand, smiled, and darted away.

Mango watched her leave and went to catch her hand but she was already gone by the time he turned, staring into the empty space she vanished into as tear's started welling up in his eyes, he was frozen in place and was left with hardly any words at all.

''i'll wait for you to return Silver.... even if you don't want me to do so... heh, go kick some a-- Silver'' he said out loud, hoping she was still in earshot.

''erm.... maybe... who's asking....?'' he asked, being just a little cautious towards him since he hadn't heard him walking towards him until he spoke up.
"Beau Vernia," he said, dropping his royal last name because he was in a hurry. "I'm a friend of hers, and I need to talk to her about something urgently. And you?"

''Mango Eldritch.... i'm a friend of Silver's myself, she... left, cause the military called her to the front lines..... she told me earlier this morning when we were at the cafe having tea'' he said.
