☂River and Lake

@✹Xiumin [semi] I his cheek then nuzzle his neck feeling a little better knowing I wasn't a complete failure. "I'm glad you found me here tonight"

@✹Wendy (H) "How could I be? If I was in your situation I'm not sure I'd be able toto do much more or better." Xiumin prompted lightly nuzzling her "It was not your fault, you're experiencing survivors guilt."

@✹Xiumin [semi] sniffles and looks up at him "you're not disappointed in how I acted?"

@✹Wendy (H) "That's horrible but it is not your fault. Vaguely reminds me of Michael Morpurgo's Toro Toro, it wasn't his fault either. You were young, foolish and I doubt they would blame you, if they could not get out you couldn't have got them out either." Xiumin said gently nuzling her nose. "Your brother is alive, there could be others?" He prompted

@✹Xiumin [semi] I shiver and mutter "that night... I was supposed to be home earlier.I had made a promise to my pack that I would be home and we would go hunting as soon as I got back. but... I was late. by about three hours. and....they had waited for me to return. because I promised that I would be there." my voice starts to choke up as I get upset "I was late because I was working on a project but I should have been more careful. I should have watched the time. If I had been there nobody would have been home when the fire started." I sniffle an whimper a little getting more upset "When I got back there were things blocking all the doors from the outside and I tried to get the doors open but I couldn't. I was scared and changed into my wolf form to try break down a door but I was too young, too weak. I couldn't do it. Then I heard sirens so I had to hide in the woods so the humans wouldn't see me." I stop for a moment and try calm down a little "I waited for the humans to go then searched through the ashes. I found some members of my pack, but it was too late, they were dead. I was afraid I would find my brother and sister so I stopped looking and...I ran away. I couldn't take even one more step into the house. I just ran." I cover my face with both paws ashamed at myself for letting my pack down and even more ashamed for running away.

@✹Wendy (H) "Yes..." Xiumin prompted, he could guess the next words but he did not want to get ahead of himself if he guessed wrong. He would not blame her though as there would be a good explanation.

@✹Xiumin [semi] I cuddle close to him and sigh again "Well I told you about the fire and my pack being destroyed right?"

@✹Wendy (H) "I promise not to randomly combust and to be as understanding as possible." Xiumin stated lightly nudging the other with his nose.

@✹Xiumin [semi] I sigh and shake my head "I'd rather just tell you now. I don't want it hanging over us. But... I'm scared you'll be disappointed in me"puts a paw over my face feeling guilty

@✹Wendy (H) "Not much well I know that your pack was ... not really together now." He stated not really wanting to say it, but we can come to when you're ready." Xiumin said trying to be supportive despite his curiosity

@☮Ryeowook [semi] I sigh and avoid looking up at him as I mumble "My past"
I close my eyes and leans into him for support "I don't know if I told you anything about it yet but...my past isn't exactly a pretty picture"

@✹Wendy (H) "What are you running from?" He asked softly before musing, "you don't have to tell me now. For now we can just be here together if you wish." He stated with a small smile to comfort her.

@☮Ryeowook [semi] I smile a little and nuzzle him affectionately "it's not squirrels I'm running from" I mutter without really thinking as I rest my head on one of his paws leaning against him and feeling comforted by his presence alone.

@✹Wendy (H) "Want to sleep with me then? Not like that." He added hurriedly in case she got the wrong idea, he lightly lapped her nose affectionately. "I'll protect you,I'll fight another squirrel for you."

@☮Ryeowook [semi] I frown and sigh blowing the top of the water "I um...couldn't sleep" I look away not sure if I should tell him or not. I couldn't remember telling him about my past yet. Would it be too much to tell him now?

@✹Wendy (H) "Maybe." Xiumin stated awkwardly before sitting beside her. "Now what are you doing here so late." Xiumin asked lightly looking into her eyes in curiosity

@✹Xiumin [semi] I smile softly and rest my head on my paws "Did the squirrel win?"

@✹Wendy (H) "Wendy." He repeated when her head turned and covering the ground and lightly nuzzling against her.
"Promise not to laugh, but I got into a fight... With a squirrel." He finished covering his face with a paw in embarrassment.

@✹Xiumin [semi] My ears perked up surprised to hear my name specially this late at night.
I lifted my head out of the water and looked over to see Xiumin padding my way.
"Xiumin?! Why are you out so late?" I notice his muzzle and frown "What happened?"

@✹Wendy (H) Xiumin padded lightly towards the river, he had got into a mess recently and got a sore muzzle and he wanted to clean it off. He was both surprised and pleased to see Wendy there. But there was a small issue he found and that was that she did not look well. He went over to her lightly calling her name.

-runs alongside the river stopping when i reach the lake-
-flops onto the ground by the lake my front paws and my jaw in the water-
-lazily I up some water then sigh just watching the fireflies fly over the tops of the water.-
-i didn't know what time it was I just knew it was afer midnight. It felt like it wasn't too far from dawn but I was too shaken up to care-
-i felt guilty leaving nesi asleep on the couch but i didn't want her to see how much that night ten years ago still haunts me-
-its better that she sleep and not know. Not be troubled by it-

@✹Kwon BoA (I'll post there.)

@✹HeeChul Boa could feel the relief wash over him. She knew the money thing was bothering him. The thing was, she enjoyed spending her money on other people. She had everything she needed, so money was pretty superfluous to her. "Okay. Sure."

(Should we post there?)

@✹Kwon BoA Heechul nodded. "I guess that would be easier," he replied, not wanting to spend Boa's money. "Let's go to our dorm, then we can cook, alright?"

@✹HeeChul Boa thought for a moment and then stopped walking and looked up at him. "Well, if you'd rather we cook, I'm fine with that. I'm the only one who cooks in our dorm, so it would be nice to have someone to cook with."

@✹Kwon BoA Heechul rolled his eyes lightly but didn't comment it any further. He shrugged. "I still don't really know my way around with the restaurants. When my sisters are over, I usually cook with them so I just need to go to the store."

@✹HeeChul She smiled and punched his shoulder playfully. "Don't look like that. I'm okay. I've been like this for years. It's harder than that to kill me." She winked and began skipping at the thought of having someone to eat with. "Any suggestions as to which restaurant?"

@✹Kwon BoA "I know..." Heechul pouted lightly. He didn't want the other to live in such an unhealthy state, but he also didn't know her well enough to have any idea what she could do instead. Plus, unlike her, he wasn't a doctor.
He nodded lightly. "Alright, then let's do that."

@✹HeeChul "No. I know it is. I'm a doctor, remember? But why eat if it won't stay down. Besides, when I get sick like this, I have no energy at all." She thought about what he had said and nodded. That sounded good actually. "Okay. That sounds fine to me."

@✹Kwon BoA "You haven't? It's actually unhealthy not to eat anything. Couldn't you even eat something small?" he asked, unable to imagine himself not eating anything for days. He shrugged lightly. "I honestly don't know... I don't really feel like eating anything big, though, so how about we just go to some small restaurant? One of the local ones, I mean."
