Welcome to Gaia! ::

Elizabeth pet his head one more time before standing, with a frown on her face. "Why would you do that? You can't just be nice to me in your human form? Why would you do that? I dont... I don't understand... you can't just interact with me as a person? Treat me like a person?" she shook her head, moving the hair out of her face once more. "My name's Elizabeth, by the way..." She turned away again, sighing. What was wrong with these people?

Dog-Henry whimpered as she sighed. He shifted back into the form she'd seen before. "You wouldn't pay attention in this form. You already made up your mind that I was terrible. I'm sorry for trying to get your attention, damnit!" he snapped, his voice rising. He hated that he was being mean to her, but he was naturally defensive.
Henry shifted again. This time he turned into the very image of the boy who'd been there a while ago. The only difference between the boy and this version of him was the eye color. "This is who you're afraid of," he muttered. Then he shifted into the man he'd seen crying in the alley. "And this," he said. Finally he shifted back into himself and frowned at her. "You don't even know me. Yet you put me in a league with them?" he spat at her feet, purposely missing her shoes by about five inches. "And you thought they were the heartless ones."

Aiyden glared at the boy. He really didn't like him being there. He needed him to leave if he was ever going to talk to Allison. Aiyden frowned as Allison said goodbye to him.
Allison smiled, even though she heard the guy's thought. He was retreating, that's all she needed to know. "Sure. But if I'm going to be "defender of the weak", I guess I'd better get practicing," she laughed. She got up to see her guest to the edge of the porch. She noted Aiyden sitting across the street and thought her next question. Think of me if you run into trouble. You know. Think my name. Loud. She flicked her eyes in the direction of Aiyden. Be careful around him. He's dangerous. If he crosses you. Think of me. I'll try and be there. Physically OR mentally. She smiled and nodded. "Tootles, Matthew. See you tomorrow."

Elizabeth was absolutely shocked and taken aback at this boy's response. She took a step back, a little frightened as she said, "I... I'm sorry..." she looked down at the place where he'd spat at her and her eyes began to tear up. Why was she always so sensitive???? She kept her eyes down as she explained, "Well you didn't treat me very well... and I just thought... well I..." her voice cracked and she looked up at the sky, not meeting this boy's eyes.

((packing it in for the night after this, work tomorrow and all that snaz.))

Matthew saw no harm in giving the man his name. "Recent friend and the names Matthew. How bout yourself?" matthew said returning the question with good humour. He was still wary of this man. If Allison said he was bad news then he was probably as bad as bad news got.

Elizabeth, wide-eyed, looked at this mysterious boy. "Who are you???" she whispered. She'd never felt so inclined to know someone... but he hadn't been very nice to her, then suddenly he'd said that she was judging him. And those eyes were drawing her in. They were pulling... making it hard for her to not look at him. Elizabeth fiddled with the bottom of her dress like a nervous child.

Henry smirked. "Call me Henry. Now do you want a freaking hug or not? You might want to take advantage of this moment," he stated. He held his arms out, inviting her, but not pushing.

Allison watched as Aiyden patted Matthew and turned. He was walking towards her now. Goodness, what could he possibly want now?
Aiyden slowed as he got closer to Allison. She didn't budge as he spoke. "Are you waiting for me?" He joked.
"What do you want?" Allison sneered. Aiyden stood, unfazed by her tone. He was tempted to knock her out right then and kidnap her, but he didn't think she'd go for that.
"I want to talk. Is there something wrong with that?" he asked innocently as if they hadn't had that whole tussle earlier.
"Yeah. Right. You, talk?" she snickered, "Whatever."
Aiyden was loosing all hope of getting over any emotions he had at the moment. "Damnit! What did you do to me!?" he exploded.
"What do you mean? I didn't do anything to you!" Allison shouted back. Aiyden suddenly grabbed her wrist. When she began to object, he sent imaginary spiders skittering up her arm. That distracted her long enough to allow him to pull her down the street and into his house before he got rid of the spider.
"You are staying here until this blows over!" Aiyden growled. Allison's eye widened in genuine fear, but then she took a deep breath and nodded, plopping down on his couch.

Henry was confused with himself. He'd never begun to like a girl so quickly before. It was weird...but in a good way. He dropped his arms and stuffed his hands in his pockets. Then he slowly followed Elizabeth toward the theater.

Allison munched on an already open, probably stale, bag of chips. "So what do you want?"
"I told you. I want to talk," Aiyden growled. He came and relaxed on his couch as Allison soaked in her surroundings.
"Is this where you live?"
Aiyden simply nodded. She nodded, accepting it, and stuck another chip into her mouth.
"Listen Allison. I don't know what you did, or what type of powers you have, but I don't appreciate guilt. Talk it away," Aiyden snapped.
"How am I supposed to go that. the only way to get rid of guilt is to fix what made you guilty. What made you guilty?" Allison asked in her therapist voice.
Aiyden turned slowly and looked at her straight in the face. "You."
Then, before either of them had realized what was happening, Aiyden and Allison had leaned in and were kissing each other. That kept up for about five seconds, then Allison realized what she was doing and pushed away.
"Oh My Goodness! What the-!? What were we-!?" Allison panicked. Aiyden sat back against his couch, the reality of the situation finally hitting him.
"Did we just-?" he cut himself off. The look on Alison's face was answer enough. Even though it was a horrified, shocked look, Aiyden couldn't help laughing.
