Nip flinched as if he had been stung. His feathers dropping back. "I'm..." "You might as well face it," his shadow said, its eyes narrowing as it glared into the murky red water. "He's right. He might as well call you feral, because that's the way you've been acting. That's the way you've been...

Nip shot his shadow a look, but it had turned to stare at the river, clearly indicating that this was Nip's issue to deal with. Funny how it could get him Into trouble but refused to take responsibility. He decided now was not the time to work out what that meant about him. "I.... It's been a...

"It would certainly be prefered," Nip said. He turned and kicked a stray pebble into the water, satisfied with the sploosh sound it made. "Mmm... I should probably-" "It won't do you any good to leave," Nip's shadow interjected. "We're all trapped here. Sooner or later the four of us are going...

Nip's shadow gave him a quick nudge, then stood at attention, watching the two figures as they slowly made their way towards them. Nip twitched his ear in acknowledgement, then stood up. He considered leaving - he was rather enjoying the solitude and he was in no hurry to repeat another incident...

Nip should have returned back to the village after his long stretch of solitude at the plateaus. But he did not feel ready to return just yet. He walked aimlessly for a while, and eventually ended up by the river again. He took a seat at the water's edge, staring into the murky red depths with...

Nip's shadow said nothing, but gave Vix a polite nod. It was unclear whether it was surprised into silence, or if it was satisfied. Either way, it returned to Nip's side, and sat down beside him. Nip seemed surprised by Vix's touch, but he offered her a weak smile. "I... thank you. I'll return...

A part of him wanted to believe that. He wanted to believe it with his whole heart. But visions of snapping jaws and echoes of long past conversations with her... He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to push the memories out of his mind. Instead, he focused on the shadow's final...

Nip glanced up at Vix for a moment, long enough to notice her smile. But he dropped his face again shortly after. "I... Find that hard to believe, if I'm being honest. As much as I want to say I had good reason to do what I did, all I really did was prove everyone who already thought I'll of me...

Nip said nothing out loud, but he certainly found that hard to believe himself. Why he had been chosen... it was a question he'd been wanting to ask Diyem for some time, but every time he thought he might have an opportunity to, something had come up that kept him away. But Vix's shadow echoed...

Nip's shadow stared at them for an uncomfortably long time. Nip couldn't be certain if it was considering the shadow's words, or if it was just being quiet, waiting for someone else to act. But finally, it turned it's back, and instead stared at Nip. "Well, what do you think? Is she a hero?"...

Frozen as he watched the escalating argument between Vix, her shadow, and his shadow, Nip didn't see the attack until too late. Vix's attack did 209 damage to Nip Nip stumbled backwards, winded by the blow. He clutched his stomach, wincing, and looked to his shadow, who returned his gaze with...

The shadow didn't stand down. But the look on its face changed. At first, the anger remained, but as Vix advanced, its expression betrayed uncertainty, then fear. "What, you think you're high and mighty for fighting a losing battle. For threatening to attack something that's hurting?" It paused...

"You make a good point. I will at least keep an eye out for them." He paused, and dipped his head. "Stay well, Bahamut. I will see you later." With that, he turned and returned to his cleaning. <><><><><>

"Indeed. The coming days are going to be busy." His tails waved slightly as he thought. "Perhaps the business will be good for the grieving. I've found that staying busy helps keep my mind off the worst of it."

Both Nip and his shadow flinched, his shadow cowering behind him. "That's what everyone says," the shadow shouted back. "Stop it," Nip warned, but his shadow didn't listen. In fact, it moved from behind him to glare defiantly at Vix. "You all say that you're the good guy. That you're in the...

"I am no therapist, but it feels like, perhaps talking to other people about what happened to you might help. It obviously won't fix things, don't get me wrong, but perhaps it may make it easier to cope. I've seen what bottling in all your negative emotions can do." He glanced out the window...

Was... Was she implying that he should beat up his shadow or something? He cast the pathetic creature a sideways glance. That would just be cruel. Besides, hadn't they been through enough? Apparently his shadow, however, had taken offense to her comment. Though he still hid behind Nip, he let...

"For that exact reason," Nip answered a bit too quickly. "Maybe I wouldn't have to if you listened to me in the first place," the shadow muttered mutinously. "I'm just looking out for you, because no one else will."

"I see. Our tribe believes in an afterlife, but it's only reachable by the help of Yveltal. Without her, souls are lost and doomed to wander the world as restless spirits." A pause. "Our understanding is that it's a world free of pain. Where the dead are able to find peace. Those that would...

"Are we allowed to leave? I don't think I want to be here." Nip shot his shadow a frustrated look. Then turned back towards vix and ran a paw across his face. "No, really. I'm fine. I got my own problems, but I'll deal with them myself."
