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...

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...

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."

"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."

Nip flinched, shrinking back for just a second before catching himself. He straightened back up, then shook his head. "Oh, nothings wrong as far as I know. I just was coming out here for some solitude. I guess I wasn't the only one with that idea." He smiled weakly, hoping to hide his unease.
