- Dreyrugr - 04-02-2009 [html] OOC: Uh oh...*noms on!*[/html] - Alexey Koios - 04-06-2009 [html] style="padding: 0px; position: relative; top:75px; right:90px; width: 213px; height: 315px; z-index: 2; overflow: auto;"> 300+ When Alexey wasn’t off trying to find the last missing up, she was often seen around little Emwe. She found it difficult to trust Firefly now, especially since the pack leaders had judged it necessary to strip her from her council rank and throw her down the hierarchy pyramid; all the way down to Solum. The former Acer had fallen from grace, and although Lexey hadn’t told anyone how she felt about it as of yet; it was saddening to watch Firefly drown in a sea of deceitfulness. The Caregiver would’ve done anything for DaVinci’s sister before this whole ordeal. But now, everything was different. She could’ve understood the reasoning behind Firefly’s actions, if only her good intentions hadn’t been overshadowed by sheer selfishness. Thoughts of Kol kept bouncing back into the back of her mind. It was hard for the Koios girl to stay away from her roommate, especially in times like these. But it was also wise to let her cool off. Lexey hadn’t come back home that night, hoping that her best friend’s anger would dissipate faster if she stayed away from the cottage house a little longer. She’d also been smart enough to avoid her hot-headed brother for the time being, fully aware that he’d reprimand her the same way his sister had already done, if not more. Despite her initial intention to stay away from the Stormbringer siblings, exhaustion and worry eventually led her back to them. Alexey wasn’t surprised to find the emerald-eyed male pacing back and forth on the porch. And from the looks of it, trying to avoid the impending storm was pointless. “Drey,” she murmured, climbing up the wooden steps in order to join him on the porch. A cautious distance was purposely kept between them. Now didn’t seem like the right time to get any closer. - Dreyrugr - 04-22-2009 [html] Movement caught his attention from the corner of his eye, and the Stormbringer male stopped his pacing in its tracks. Taking a breath, he tried to reign in the worst edges of his temper as he turned to face the woman, his muscles still tense in both anger and concern. The barest hint of relief flicked in his bright green eyes as he took a moment to look her over. Apart from a few minor scratches and probably no fewer hidden bruises and sore spots, Lexey did indeed look to be in one piece. His breath released in an exasperated sigh, and though his anger still boiled beneath the surface of his skin, his eyes and face took on a much gentler feel than even he had expected.[/html] - Alexey Koios - 04-28-2009 [html] style="padding: 0px; position: relative; top:75px; right:90px; width: 213px; height: 315px; z-index: 2; overflow: auto;"> Keeping a reasonable distance between the two of them had been her initial intention, but Drey had other plans. Before she even had a chance to react, his hands were on shoulders. Alexey stifled a gasp, a little taken aback by his reaction. She tried to keep a straight face, but her body betrayed her fake confidence; beige-colored ears were pinned back against her head, a blatant display of submission. Trying to validate her point of view was pointless. The Stormbringer siblings were alike in many ways; both strived to protect their friends and family. She understood this, hence why she kept her mouth shut. His questions and accusations went through one ear and out the other. It was all a blur. Alexey tried to focus on what the male was saying, but the only thing on her mind was the warmth of his hands on her shoulders. It was a little silly, how she simply allowed him to reprimand her this way. She’d heard it all from Kol before; his lecture was like déjà vu. “Are you done?” she questioned, cutting his last sentence short. There was no sign of animosity in her voice. Her goal was to make him realize how absurd his reasoning was. Her life did not revolve around his wishes. “I’m not a child, Drey,” she explained with a sigh, purposely avoiding his emerald gaze. - Dreyrugr - 05-04-2009 [html] He blinked in unmasked surprise as the woman's words cut off his own. For a moment, all he could do was stare at her, finally straightening himself as her words sank in. His green eyes diverted as he pulled away from her, knowing all too well that though his reasons and worry were valid, Alexey was also right. She wasn't a kid, and the woman's strong will and determination were a few of the things that drew him to her like no other. Now that he'd physically felt with his own two hands that she was alright, he walked a short distance away, heading up to the porch and feigning interest in replacing a decoration that had fallen from the wall of the house. "You're right, you're not. But you're also not someone who can fight her way out of a bad situation." The decoration fixed, he turned back to face the woman who caused so many conflicting emotions in him. "Hell, Kol can get herself out of nearly any scrape that she gets herself into, and she damn near got killed! The only thing that saved her was you!" Emerald eyes took to burning anew as he spoke of his sister. It'd be a long while before he forgave her for the stupidity she had shown in this situation.[/html] - Alexey Koios - 05-06-2009 [html] style="padding: 0px; position: relative; top:75px; right:90px; width: 213px; height: 315px; z-index: 2; overflow: auto;"> Dreyrugr had a point. She wasn’t a fighter, which made her the ideal target for predators. She knew that. However, hearing the bitter truth coming out of his mouth was rather unpleasant. It made her feel weak. Alexey couldn’t help but look away, clenching both of her hands into fists. She didn’t want him to see the frustration in her eyes. The Koios girl loved both Stormbringer siblings, but they were nearly impossible to deal with at times. When he mentioned how she had been the one to save Kol from a certain death, Lexey promptly countered with an argument of her own. “You should thank me,” she muttered, not quite understanding why he was ripping into her when he should’ve been happy. Kol was alive and well, that’s what really mattered. Then his voice changed. It grew softer as he explained how dangerous some people were. Alexey bit her lip and remained quiet, holding back a few choice words. Had it been anyone else, she would’ve already walked away. But it had to be him. Tears of frustration were gathering beneath her eyelids, although she refused to acknowledge them. She didn’t want him to think she was a cry baby on top of everything else. Her gaze remained focused on the floor as he rambled on and on about how foolish she’d been. She understood his reasoning, but refused to admit it. “Why do you care so much?” |
