Ricor was slid his trench coat into the locker, sighing as he pulled out his swords and put them into the locker, he slid his shirt off revealing a well toned body. And then he took off his long pants revealing his red swimming trunks. He put them in the locker then shut the locker up completely. As he walked out into the hot springs area, the steam filled his nostrils, it was a wonderful feeling causing him to feel light headed. He smiled as he dropped himself into the water. He smiled as he leaned his back against the wall of the pool, it was enjoyable just to be there alone, but he was rather hoping for someone else to be with him, Onyx had been sleeping at home and he needed to get out for a break. He was sure that she could take care of herself for at least an awhile. It was still 3am, the perfect time for him to be out and about on the school grounds. Very few students were awake and he had the hot springs to himself. He sighed heavily, wondering back on the days of his last visit to this school and all the nice people he had met, Irene, Polimia, and Zlex. All 3 of them were his friends; he hadn’t seen any of them for quiet some time. |

Zlex could hardly believe her eyes. She was sure that the hallucinations that had once taken over her while in the concentration camp was consuming her now. It took her only a moment to regain herself and the only other option that came to mind was to make sure that this image was real. She quietly dispatched her clothes revealing her white suit underneath. She glanced back at the figure in the pool wondering if the steam was playing with her mind. No, there was definately someone in the pool. A feeling of excitement surged through her body as she slowly made her way towards the pool. So familiar. She could have sworn that she had seen him before. She rarely made mistakes about people she'd seen before and she doubted that she was wrong now. Zlex slipped her arms around Ricor's neck and her white long hair swayed in front of his shoulder. Whoops, great giveaway. Yet, she was sure that if he was, indeed, Ricor, he would recognize her anyway. "Hi, long time no see." Zlex murmured as she hugged him tighter. "Missed me?..." |

Ricor blinked a couple of times as he felt the water change wave lengths and as they got smaller as he looked around the water that was up to his chest smiling. Someone was moving towards him. He was about to stand up to find out who it was but before he could there were 2 arms dangling over his shoulders. The long white hair was a dead give away. He couldn’t believe what was happening, was she really back she didn’t know. But it felt wonderful to see her again. ”You know I did darling.” He said as he returned the hug happily. Zlex was back in all her alien glory, this was a wonderful turn of events and it made him happy to think that one of his oldest friends was back. ”The question is, Did you miss me?” He said with a grin. |

Zlex smiled and held off on replying to his question as she slipped herself into the pool and turned to face him. It was great just looking at him again and she was glad that he was the first to greet her. She pushed her half wet hair behind her back and leaned on the wall behind her. "Such a silly question to ask." She answered as she shook her head slightly. "Why else would I search the world for you?" Of course her statement was sarcastic and she hoped that he wouldn't take her literally. "Yes, I missed you more than you would know." She added as a backup. And what she said was true. She had missed Ricor and had once thought that she would never see him again. Although she showed little emotion, inside she wanted to glomp Ricor to death and tell him what happened between the gap of time that she had without him. "So, what have you been up to without me around?" She asked with a slight twinkle in her eyes and an interested expression on her pale face... |

Ricor smiled as she was now in front of him he leaned over and gave her a kiss on the forehead. He had missed Zlex very much and many things had happened since they last met, he just laughed as she made her sarcastic joke and then as she made her serious comment he just nodded. ”Well I am now living with Onyx, the Neko girl that I take care of.” smiling he spurted the words out. Trying not to give her the wrong impression that he was living with another girl. He put his hands on her shoulder and wrapped them around her neck pulling her to his chest and holding her tightly his hands lying on her bare back rubbing his finger tips across her back. ”Well I missed you a lot Zlex, how have you been?” |

Onyx? The name was familiar and she began having flashbacks of a small black cat that she had found while venturing the land with....with...Who exactly was the one she was with when she found that adorable little cat? It mattered little now. Onyx had been lost from her and she had forgotten about him til now. Besides, this was clearly a different Onyx that Ricor now spoke of. Being pulled toward Ricor was something that Zlex had not expected at all and it was evident by her expression. Yet, she accepted this type of hug and merely smiled as he spoke of how he missed her. "Well, I've been doing really well." She replied. In her eyes, this was true, yet she failed to mention the hardships that had beaten her while she was gone. That horrible village of people with only the shopowner to stay near. And then there was the bow that she now had to constantly refix due to the crash landing. "The madame I was staying with is paying for me to stay here." She added cheerfully and suddenly a longingness to be by her side once more had overcome her bringing her to silence. "It's been really long without you...without anyone." She murmured as she fought back the tears that begged to flow down her cheeks. "I learned how to cook!" She voiced as a way to get her mind off of the madame that she spoke of. "I thought it was too hard to do but now I can." She gleamed.... |

Ricor just smiled as she spoke, he couldn’t bring himself to do anything else, it was just so perfect being near her again that he didn’t want to talk about anything in his life except maybe Onyx, but even now didn’t seem the time. As he saw her voice change and the fighting back of tears he just smiled and kissed her cheek. ”I know I’m sorry that your not with your family right now, I know how you feel and I wish you could be happy just to be back here.” he said with a smile before hearing her comment on cooking. ”Well congratulations, that’s wonderful.” He smiled and continued to hold her close, her body was warm, he hadn’t held anyone but Onyx close to him since Irene decided to run off and disappear from his life, his heart still ached to see her again but such was life. He now was fighting back his own tears a losing battle, as a couple of tears started to roll down his face he closed his eyes and kind of cried laughed trying to hide the pain. |

His tears surprised her and she couldn't believe that he was cry-laughing. Just the sound of him made her own tears impossible to shuck away and they were released from her eyes one by one. Yet, she didn't realize herself being brought into these small tears. She slowly raised her pale soft hand toward his cheek and she hardly noticed how much it was shaking. Why was he crying...? "Don't cry...you...don't have to cry..." She murmured as she placed her hands on his cheeks after hesitation. She was scared to touch him and she hadn't noticed this fact for herself. She was scared that she'd lose him again and that this happy reunion would be gone and only a dream. "Why...are you...crying?" She asked not only Ricor but also herself as she noticed her own tears for the first time. Wasn't this moment supposed to be a happy one? She didn't completely understand what was going on. Thinking that she had done something wrong she shut her eyes tightly and lowered her head. Never...she never wanted to see him cry. She only wanted to be with him, her only friend. The only one she'd ever call a friend. The only one she didn't mind getting hurt by....But this? This was too much. From this, she began crying more fluently and her grasp had weakened allowing her hands to hit the water beneath... |

Ricor smiled and hugged her tightly picking up her hands with his and bringing her hands to his lips and kissing them. He did miss Irene but why was he crying over it, he thought she was out of his heart forever. ”I am so sorry Zlex, it’s just you are my only friend, but I miss Irene my oldest friend and she just disappeared.” He said as his voice cracked and he sounded high pitched. He put her arms around the back of his shoulders and pulled her to his shoulder so that her chin was resting on his shoulder. He put one around her and rested it on her neck rubbing it slightly. ”Don’t worry; you don’t need to cry for me.” He said with a smile trying to blink away his tears that were still falling. He couldn’t help but think of her, it just wasn’t something he could help, seeing Zlex made him miss Irene all the much more. |

Zlex slightly laughed between her tears and she held on tighter to Ricor. She smiled slightly when she realized that Ricor thought she was crying for him. Although that was partially true, she had also broken down for another reason. "I'm not crying for you...I'm crying with you." She corrected as she kissed his shoulder. "It's no fun crying alone. It would just make everything awkward, now wouldn't it?" She wiped her eyes with her hand yet a few tears continued to cascade down. "I know how you feel and I wish you could be happy just to know that I'm back." She quoted with a small laugh. "I'm sorry about your friend...Maybe she'll return like I did." Zlex offered. And to her, it was possible. If it would make Ricor feel better, she would travel til death looking for her. "Nothing's impossible you know." She murmured. She had so much faith in something that she knew little about, yet she was determined that Irene would return. Besides, what could stop her from doing so?... |

Ricor felt cared about more than he deserved it, she had been kind to him in her words and when she said that she wasn’t crying ‘for him’ rather she was crying ‘with him’ it just made him smile. He continued to rub her shoulder as he felt her lips on his shoulder he smiled and rested his head against hers. ”Zlex, she is dead, she can never come back to me…” He said with sadness feeling his voice. His tears started flowing anew. He put his hand on her back and ran his fingertip up and down her spine. Smiling, at least he had her with him right. Maybe just maybe she could replace the pain his part, but that wasn’t something to bring up right now it just hurt to much for him, and he was sure for her as well. ”But I mustn’t dwell on her, why are you crying then.” He said Smiling and whispering into her ear. |

Irene was dead? Surprisingly enough, even this didn't cast a shadow upon her thoughts of Irene being able to return. She had heard the tale of Orpheus the master of musician and how he ventured to Hades for his lost love, Eurydice. Along with that story, she had heard of Setsuna's journey to hell for his love Sara. Therefore, to her, there was still hope. However, she sense that it wasn't a smart thing to bring up into conversation and for the first time, held her tongue. She was a little shocked that he had asked her why she was crying. Why had Zlex cryed? She couldn't quite put her finger on it and it seemed like a vainful effort to try. She merely smiled and blinked away the water that still resided near her eyes. "Like I said, I was crying with you. I don't think that you'd want to cry alone with me watching. Wouldn't that be so weird?" She asked as another way of stating that she wasn't quite clear of her tears. Yet, somewhere inside of her, she knew the meaning of her party of teardrops. She cried because she thought that Ricor would one day leave her. Because she didn't know what she'd do if she didn't have Ricor once again. A life like that was just too horrible and not worth the time of living. It was the fact that Ricor cried and it hurt her so much...She thought that tears only meant that someone hurt you. And the only person around that could possibly hurt him was herself. "Please don't cry anymore." She repeated, "I hate to see you cry..." |

Ricor stopped crying completely and almost suddenly, as if he had been faking it the whole time. Something in him just destroyed his tears he couldn’t place his finger on it though her knew it to be related to her words. ”Well then I guess I wont cry anymore.” He said with a smile pulling her back enough to rest his forehead against hers and his nose against hers staring into her eyes with a smile. The world had opened up to him since he met Zlex he could be happy again and it made him happy. And when Ricor was happy, nothing could stop his joy and take over of the world on a global scale… Ok well maybe not, but he felt like he could run around happily now, rather than having to be around Onyx to be happy. It suddenly dawned on him. ”Hey Zlex do you have a place to live yet? Or do you plan on living in the dorms?” He said with a smile. Still keeping her forehead to his holding hands on her shoulder. Maybe if she wanted to, she could come live with Onyx and Him, it wouldn’t be that hard to get a extension to the apartment, let alone Onyx could use a mother figure as well as a father figure. She had been a good girl, but he couldn’t teach her everyone. |

It made her laugh to see that Ricor had suddenly stopped crying. It made her happy too. She loved to see him in a brighter state. And it mattered little that she didn't know what had caused him to stop in such a fast moment. She thought that he had seen hope for Irene to return too. As he asked Zlex about where she was staying, a thoughful expression consumed her face. She thought for a moment or two before she answered him. "Well, they gave me a dorm. I didn't know I could choose where to live." Zlex pondered upon this idea before returning her attention to Ricor again. "Why do you ask?" She wondered. "But if I could decide I don't think it would be in the dorms." Zlex would rather see another part of this place. She'd lived in the dorms before she left and she didn't really want to do it again. "I always thought that the school makes the decisions for you." She added with that same thoughtfilled air about her. What else were the authorities doing besides making you do this or that? That was the definition of them, wasn't it; someone who chose what you could or couldn't do? However, because Ricor had asked her this question, it made her wonder if she, too, could make choices such as these on her own... |

Laughing Ricor hugged her and started racing through rather it would be a good idea or not to ask her to come live with him and Onyx It would be good for Onyx and then he could always be near Zlex. The apartment always had room for her, and it would be fun. That was the main thing here… Fun. ”Well how would you like to live with me and Onyx in Tokyo, we have an apartment, and I am her father figure, but it would be nice to have a women/motherly figure around.” he said very happily, is voice jumping up and down I happiness. This would be wonderful though he didn’t fully understand what she would think about it. He hoped she would say yes but he wasn’t quite sure. |

Zlex thought about the idea that was presented by Ricor. Stalling on purpose was her method of making him think that perhaps she would say no. But in reality, how could she say no? What was better than living with Ricor AND being a figure to someone else? Besides, it worked perfectly with her thoughts of residing somewhere besides the dorms. "Hmmm..." She acted as if it would take her days to think it out yet her expression gave away the excitement that she felt and how much she wanted to scream yes. "Gee, I don't know Ricor..." She joked as she put a finger to her chin to add to the effects of thinking. She smiled and shrugged. "Sure, why not?" Was her reply. She didn't mean to make it sound as emotionless as it was. She really felt like jumping up and down like a little toddler who had just gotten their first puppy. And because she felt so bad at how unenthusiastic her statement ended up being, she repeated her answer in a more estatic way. "I'd love to!" She beamed as a heart-warming smile formed on her lips... |

Ricor started to frown as she was playing with his head, but then as she said shed love to he jumped up and hugged her tightly picking her up and spinning her, as the water flew off their bodies from spinning he smiled. He fell back with her into the water; his face was completely flushed with happiness in every way humanly possible. ”That is wonderful, that is music to my ears just one question.” he said with a smile then raising an eyebrow. ”I’ve got 1 room, with a king sized bed there’s always room for you there or would you like me to have them build another room?” He just sat back this he was worried about, rather she felt comfortable sleeping with him and onyx in the same bed. |

Zlex decided not to trick him into believing that she felt negatively about it. She loved the idea of staying with Ricor and she'd rather he not go through the trouble of adjusting his apartments just because she was back. "I don't mind sleeping in the king size bed with you guys." She answered with that twinkle in her eyes. "There's no reason to build more room if there's enough room for me already." She reasoned to him. Besides, he was already doing a favor for her and she dared not add on to whatever trouble she may bring. "I'm just glad that I can stay with you." She admitted as she ran a hand through her white hair. "Afterall, I hadn't expected to see you." But all of a sudden, seeing that Ricor was here made her feel a lot better about leaving the comfort of the shopowner and coming back to the school that she had once been hurt from. Knowing that Ricor was the one she'd live with added to the glory of being in the midst of something new and wonderful and she dare not taint that. "Are you sure that Onyx wouldn't mind? I don't want to barge into something and disturb anyone." She added after thinking about it... |

Ricor smiled and looked at her with a gleam in his eyes. Onyx might act a little weird with a new person in the house but in the end it would be very worth it. ”I don’t think she will mind at all.” Ricor smiled happily hugging her tightly. He was so happy that she wasn’t against sleeping in the same bed as him and Onyx, which had been it was his worst fear, it wasn’t much of a problem to expand just time consuming and this way it was really good. He let go of her for the first time since he saw her and dived backwards into the water smiling. ”Do you still like swimming?” He said swimming backwards looking back at her with a smile on his face. |

Being told that Onyx wouldn't mind the extra company had relieved some of the pressure that she was sure to feel when she actually got there. She smiled at this and was glad that not everything had to be done the hard way. As he let go of her and dived backwards, she giggled a little. She glanced around the pool and looked back at him. It hadn't surprised her that he would ask about her interest in swimming and although she hadn't taken a dive in quite a while, she still loved it with the same vigor as before. "Like to swim? I still love it!" She exclaimed jumping a little as she did. But she looked curiously at the water and quirked an eyebrow. "But I don't think that we're supposed to swim here." She noted. "Oh, but remember that time we swam at the lake and played tag!" She added thinking back to those sunny fun-filled times of laughter. "That was fun wasn't it?...?" |

Ricor smiled as he looked at her swimming backwards recalling the good old days as well. The days where they were together and best friends. It was wonderful to play to my friends. He could recall playing with Zlex in the lake playing tag, there was a reason he won. He disappeared and when he reappeared he was behind Zlex holding her stomach from behind. ”Oh it brings back such good memories.” He said smiling as he poked her stomach then swam back again. |

A small squealing noise escaped Zlex as she was poked and a look of embarrassment filled her face. She was ticklish and the unexpected poke in the stomach revealed just how much she was. She smiled afterwards and remembered his constant disappearing and reappearing act. "And don't forget that your powers are the only reason why you kepted winning." She nodded in agreement with herself. She played with the water a little before commenting on the pool. "The water's so warm. I'll probably fall asleep soon, wouldn't you think? That would be horrible; I might drown or something." She stated. Although this was highly unlikely, the thought had come to mind from a t.v. show she had once watched in Madame's house. "Why is this place so empty? The last time I came here it was crowded with people." Zlex added not realizing the time and how everyone based their lives around it... |

Ricor smiled as she commented on his speed, and then raised an eyebrow at her death comment. He wanted to cry. She had been serious hadn’t she? Or was she just joking with him but then he heard her question and turned to answer it. ”Don’t say stuff like that it makes me want to cry, and its because everyone is still asleep. It is 3 in the morning.” he said smiling as he appeared infront of her and hugged her tightly quite afraid she was serious |

Zlex's eyes had opened widely when he mentioned that such things made him want to cry. That feeling of doing something that hurted him came over her again and she was ashamed and regretted ever saying such a thing. "I'm so sorry, Ricor." She apologized as she searched his face for an expression that forgave her. "I didn't know that it would make you feel sad all over again. I won't drown, Ricor, I promise I'll stay with you." She assured him as she hugged him just as tightly to reassure him of her existence. "I dare not leave your side." She mentioned and smiled at the thought of always having him around. Ah yes, people weren't usually awake this hour. She had forgotten both the time and the ways of people. She nodded to herself as if she had been silly to forget. "You would never leave me...Would you?" She asked suddenly... |

The look on Ricor’s face went from worried to forgiving, he wrapped his arms around her neck throwing his arms around her and kissing her right on her lips. He loved her being back, the kiss wasn’t a lover’s kiss it was a very friendly peck on the lips as he leaned back and just smiled at her. ”Of course I would never leave you Zlex, you are my best friend in the whole world.” He said with a smile as he held her tightly against him. Feeling the warmth of her body against his was against revitalized him. Giving him a new reason to live and making him smile as hold her even more tenderly in his arms. Never wanting to let go but he knew that he should otherwise he might kill her. He let go slowly and leaned backwards. |

Zlex was glad to hear how much of a friend Ricor thought her to be. In fact, she was very proud of herself for the accomplishment that she had made. The kiss on the lips was a nice addition to the compliment and she took it all as great friendship. Yet, part of the past reawakened as he did so and brought her into an awkward moment between then and now. Then again, she wasn't about to let something ruin this moment. She almost did with her talk of drowning and she didn't want to make that mistake again. "You're not only my best friend," Zlex began, "You're my only friend, and that should mean a lot." She assured him with a nod. To her, this was a big thing. She usually wouldn't come this close to anyone. Yet, Ricor was different and she doubted that he'd ever try to hurt her. He was the only one that she could truly trust besides the Madame that had helped her on her feet. "So, what's Onyx like?" She asked out of curiousity. "I understand that she's another one of your friends. You must like her a lot too, right?" She asked... |

Ricor smiled as she asked about Onyx while he took a second to think about it, well Onyx was really a handful and he didn’t consider her a friend he considered her his daughter; which was different than a friend. He didn’t know how to describe it to her. He scratched his head softly. ”I guess you could say that she’s my daughter, my father adopted her and sent her to me to take care of.” He shook his head from side to side not knowing what else to say on that subject. |

A daughter? Oh, so that explained everything. She had thought that it was Onyx's age alone that made her a daughter figure to Ricor. Now she knew that Onyx was more like a sister if anything. That helped clear a lot of things for Zlex and she now understood the situation. "Oh, ok." Zlex murmured reflectively. She added a slight nod to the end of her statement as a way of letting him know that she got the point. It reminded her of the times she had to watch after her own siblings, regardless of the age similarity, when they were on their journey to the dock of freedom. "So, you see her more as a daughter than a sister? Why?" She asked.... |

Ricor nodded his head as she answered him and asked her new question, he didn’t quite know, he never thought about her that way. She had always just been his little daughter figure, never had he treated her as a sister. ”I don’t know, I guess I just never thought of her as a sister.” He said smiling looking at zlex and shrugging before approaching her with a smile. When he got close enough to put his hands on her shoulders he did so and just smiled. He stared into her eyes, the same beautiful eyes that he remembered belonging to the same beautiful person. |

So, Ricor had never thought of Onyx as a sister. Zlex understood the reasoning behind it even if Ricor himself was a little short-minded of the matter. The feeling was strange, though, and the thought of Onyx never quite settled within her. Did Onyx really want a mother figure around? She already had Ricor; why would she need another to look after her and make her feel even more sheltered than she is? Then again, these thoughts were light and Zlex hardly realized that she was even thinking them. All that mattered, after all, is the fact that everyone could be happy in this situation. There was no bad side effect to all of this...or at least, Zlex had hoped not. The morning had gotten a bit tiresome to her and she rubbed her eyes for a reason that wasn't apparent. Besides this thought, she felt that she could stay here forever...except for the fact that she intended to swim a few times this week. Three in the morning...What had possessed her to take leave and come here in that awful time? Why couldn't she act human for a change? She had to constantly remind herself that on Hashinaru, time wasn't measured by one of those bracelet things that the humans wore or the big round object that would hang by the door of the classrooms; instead, a giant star directed them into doing what they did. But here, the star didn't move the same. It confused her frequently and reminded her of how ignorant her "people" were. It was thoughts like these that always seemed to creep up on her when there was a moment or two of silence in which only a conversation or work could hold off. "What are you thinking about?" Zlex asked him as Ricor looked into her eyes. There was no such thing as an action without a reason behind them and the silence had proved most unwelcomed. She hoped that Ricor wouldn't stop all talk there; it was true that she was tired, even for an alien of her rank, but she didn't want to leave just yet and she had already connected silence to the end of a meeting.... |

Ricor just wrapped his arms around the back of her neck and pulled her closer to him and rested his head on her shoulder almost letting out a small tear. He just held her close to him never wanting to let go of her; he rubbed his fingertips along her back. Being with her again brought a new happiness to his heart and the silence that had just been made him not want it to end. And if holding her to him kept her closer longer. That was what he planned on doing. ”You will never leave me… Right?” He just closed his eyes taking in the smell of her, the senses of his body feeling themselves with her, listening to her voice, smelling her scent, taking in her image, touching her back, and as he kissed her neck the taste of her skin. With all this information he would never be lonely again, he could psychologically resurrect her at any time he needed to have a friend. |

The kiss on the neck tickled Zlex slightly and she felt herself smile by the touch subconsciously. She held on to him also, feeling it necessary to join in the efforts of the hug. Yet, she wasn't quite clear why they had embraced all of a sudden; hence she felt it was needed. "Why would I ever want to leave you? If I could, I'd follow you to the ends of the Earth and through every tribulation that came your way." She answered after a while. "You have nothing to fear, Ricor. I will always be with you." Again, the thought of Irene interferred and she couldn't help but to think of a possibility that she might end up like her...yet such foreshadowment of something false scared her and pushed her out of that realm of pain. "Nothing could tear us apart, right? I mean, together we're strong...who'd think to go against that?" She smiled as she hugged him tighter. Yes, nothing could go against them...or at least, nothing so strong that they would be seperated. The last seperation was bad enough and if she could, she'd keep it all from happening again... |

((ooc: Are you ok, I havent seen you onmline yahoo for awhile?)) Ricor took in her words but never once moved, he blinked once or twice to think faster. Together they were truly inseparable but that didn’t mean things couldn’t get tough. He could only protect her from his problems for so long, soon they would consume him and then her. He didn’t want that to happen to her. Ricor slowly pulled back till his face was in front of hers his arms still draped across her shoulders. He looked at her with a questioning glare. ”Forever and ever, we will be together, forever and ever… we will protect each other.” Ricor sighed softly before moving his face closer to hers until he was touching her nose with his, he then angled is head as he pressed his lips against hers. The feeling of love that he had once felt for Irene and Polimia, it wasn’t dieing, but it was definitely changing. He wasn’t sure where it was going, he still felt love, but for Zlex? He had always considered her a friend, but something had just happened inside his heart that lead him to this kiss and to think about her as more than a friend. Ricor slowly pulled his face away from hers pulling his arms from her shoulders and dropping them to his side, dropping his head down his hair covering his face. The shadow of his hair let a little light to hit his face but not enough to see anything well enough. ”I’m sorry…” |

(ooc: Yeah, meant to explain that v_v;;. I'll be on tomorrow.) The kiss...What had it done exactly? Strangely, Zlex's face flushed bright red. The kiss had surprised her and the hotness of her face was quite unknown. She put a hand to her cheek as if making sure that it was still there as normal. He had said he was sorry. But why? Shouldn't she take it as another friendship kiss like earlier? Somehow, inside of her, she knew it was different from that. She couldn't explain it. What was this? "Did you do something wrong?" Zlex asked as she put her arms around his neck to pull him back to her. Why was he acting like this? He hadn't done anything to offend her...nothing at all. She didn't like the way he was acting...it was almost as if he didn't want....didn't... She placed a hand on his chin and moved it upwards toward her face. She wanted to see into his eyes. She didn't want him to look this way. What would she have to do to... She moved her face closer to his as he had done before. "You didn't do anything wrong..." She answered for him as she gently kissed him. If this was wrong, then let it be wrong; however, he wouldn't be wrong alone...she'd done it too... |

((ooc: I see... Ill call you...)) Ricor only shook his head until she gripped his chin and pulled his face closer, he could only look away, trying to avoid eye contact with her. When she said the words, all he could do was let a tear slip past his eye as he figured out she didn’t understand why it was wrong. But when she pressed her lips against his, feeling the warmth and taste of her lips again sent him into a fury of emotions. Something inside of him so longed for the kiss of someone else, yet for some reason this seemed wrong. But he didn’t let those thoughts feel his mind for much longer as he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her back. The feeling of his heart had changed, it was no longer hurt, and something that had been missing before was there now. He loved her; it was intimate now that through the reuniting of the two that he was stricken with a love he had held for her ever since he last saw her. For some reason it just seemed so horrible of an idea that he could love someone, and so quickly had changed from loving a different person to loving this person. He pulled away for a split second before leaning his head back on her shoulder. ”I love you Zlex… Don’t ever leave.” |

Zlex looked stunned...almost as if everything went a little too fast for her. What was it that made Ricor act this way? Why was he acting as if something was going to happen to her? She could take care of herself right? Well, to that question, Zlex would prefer not having to be in a situation where her weapons would come in handy. Maybe it was the way she felt so secure in his arms that prevented her from stopping his kiss. And perhaps it was because of this that the moment didn't feel as awkward as she thought she would feel. Yet, there was no way that she could have named this....this emotion. She'd never felt this way nor seen anyone else act this way in her lifetime. It was as if an unseen force was at work and it was a pity that she couldn't point it out. It was that word again...She'd heard that word before. He said that he loved her. Love. An emotion that she was sure that only humans felt...but Ricor wasn't human, was he? Of course not. Did that mean that other races felt it too? She had struggled to figure out how the emotions of humans worked and yet, she could never figure this one out. She had a friend named Love before. Yes, she missed that fun demonic girl. But besides that, love was not well known...not to her race or the various races that were tortured by her own. She had once thought that love was just a thing of the imaginations...so then....what was Ricor speaking of? Was it good? Bad? What did he mean? "I won't leave you." She answered at least this. She didn't know how to comment on him loving her and she didn't want to make the mistake of assuming what it meant. She felt so bad....so terribly bad for not understanding... "I won't ever leave you, Ricor. I can't." She admitted. She couldn't because she no longer believed that she could survive without him... |

((Ooc:So much for being online today eh)) Ricor could feel the slight uneasiness coming from her. It immolated throughout her aura. He could almost feel it as though he could smell the uneasiness. Though he could feel it as he shoulders tightened up slightly as did every manner of life, when uneasy. He put his hands on her shoulder blades and then leaned back just enough to look at her. ”Zlex… Do you know what love is? You know the emotion of love?” He smiled at her before raising an eyebrow questioning, perhaps she didn’t know, she was alien, not like him but he at least understood lots about the humans emotions, love, sadness, fear, the only one he didn’t understand really was Happiness, he had never in his life been truly happy once he lost all contact with Zlex and Irene. |

And alas, Zlex felt the need to hide or run away. For the first time this morning, she had wanted to be anywhere but here. This was the effect of her fault being singled out. This was the reason she strove so hard and so long to understand everything. She felt even more horrible now than she had before. She didn't know what love was. She had no clue. Absolutely no clue. And for some reason, she felt that she was going to be unforgiven. She thought, for some odd reason, that she had just admitted the most horrible deed on earth. And as these thoughts came into her mind within that fast moment, it began to take a toll on her outward expression. It was bound to happen. Someone was bound to find out that she couldn't master the emotion of all emotions. The embarrassment was almost too much for her to handle....too much...too much. Suddenly she began to cry. The tears had pushed their way through her violet eyes with ease and little hesitation. She lowered her head as she just let herself cry and cry. Bringing up her hands to cover her face, she turned away from Ricor. Turned away from that instant of inferiority. She could never be as good as anyone else...how could she? She couldn't even comprehend a natural emotion. She struggled to speak behind her tears yet the gloomy air about her had prevented any words to form out of her open mouth. So, it had all come down to this. All down to this moment. Oh, how she knew this was going to happen one day. Oh how she knew... |

Ricor immediately turned around so that he was in front of Zlex once again. He just stood there smiling at her before cupping her hands in his and moving them down to her waist before moving his face closer and pressing his lips against hers. Smiling at her, he pulled away slowly, apparently she didn’t and she felt bad about it. But he wasn’t about to let her feel bad about it no that would be foolish. ”Zlex, please don’t blame yourself, I understand very little of the emotion myself. But do know this Love is something that a person feels for another, it is a very strong and complicated emotion, you may like something, well Love is like the extreme version of like. I believe the Humans define it as ‘a deep feeling of sexual desire and attraction, or a strong positive emotion of regard and affection’ If I recall correctly.” He said with a smile as he held her close to him holding her hands in his the entire time just staring into her eyes. That made him happy, just to be with her made him very happy but for some reason it did. He couldn’t quite explain it but he loved her at least as far as human emotions go. |

Zlex inhaled deeply. It was her method of cooling down her mood and most of the time it worked. Her need to release tears had diminished slowly yet surely. Still, her longing to understand the explained had not vanished all the way. Some part of her still lingered on her limited knowledge. One of the reasons why it was so hard for her to grasp emotions was the fact that in order for her to understand, she would first need to feel this emotion. Assurdly, she had never felt loved or loved someone in her life. She wasn't even allowed to hold that kind of feeling toward her own mother. "I've never loved before, Ricor...You don't think that makes me less of a person than I am now?" She asked with a strange glassy look within her eyes. It was the only time that a smile wasn't evident and her usually bright mood was dampened. "Do you think I'll ever love?" She continued as if the first question wasn't answerable. She let her head fall downward as she closed her eyes. Stupid human emotions....why did they always have to be so difficult for an alien??? |
