SEARCHING IN THE DARKNESS WE ARE CREATURES OF THE NIGHT RUNNING FROM THE DAY Loki gave her a sideways glance that held curiousity, annoyance, and confusion within it. Was she... trying to read him? He was amused by her attempt, so the smallest smile broke onto his muzzle. "Both," he answered her. There was no need to be hostile. He never really considered himself cruel, but he knew he could be. However, he wasn't sure there was a need to be cruel at this moment. The cat he was speaking to was nearly a kitten. Maybe he could pull her onto his side...

Bell narrowed her eyes. "Mother and father dead then?" she asked, very nonchalantly considering her own past with her own family.

SEARCHING IN THE DARKNESS WE ARE CREATURES OF THE NIGHT RUNNING FROM THE DAY Loki furrowed his brow, and slid his claws out a bit, but quickly retracted them. Pain seeped into his heart, and his head throbbed slightly. He could feel his veins beneath his skin. He didn't like being told his parents were dead, even though they were. He tried to run away from the truth, to think that if he ever made it home, his mother would be waiting for him. Maybe he would be an apprentice again, and she would start training him once again, teaching him in her gentle ways.
But he knew it wasn't true, no matter how much he wished it was. He clenched his teeth but still managed to say evenly, "I never said that." The pain was still there, hidden under all the layers he had built over it. But those layers were flimsy, as thin as leaves, and could easily be cut through. That is, with the right knife.

Bell's eyes widened slightly at Fox's reaction. She was not good at comforting acts and she really hoped he didn't start crying. "I'm sorry," she said quickly, "Everyone around here pretty much has no parents, and since you didn't mention them I-" she cut herself off " I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking as I spoke."

SEARCHING IN THE DARKNESS WE ARE CREATURES OF THE NIGHT RUNNING FROM THE DAY Loki was obviously horrible at hiding his feelings. He had no idea how to respond to this cat's next sentence, so he simply stopped walking and stood up to his full height. Sure, he could be on the verge of tears many times, but he would never cry in front of anyone, especially a kitten. "I'm fine," he said regally.
(( im not sure you can say the word 'fine' in a regal voice, unless your talking about a 'fine goblet' or something xD ))

(Fit in a British accent and thr right attitude. I'm quite certain that makes everything regal.)
"No your not." she said, but didn't push further than that. "Tell me about your home land then. I'm quite certain it would be different than any place I've been based on the way you carry yourself."

SEARCHING IN THE DARKNESS WE ARE CREATURES OF THE NIGHT RUNNING FROM THE DAY Loki gave her another strange expression. He wondered how far he could go before she thought him insane, so he started off by saying, "I'm a prince, of a dead king. So yes, my parents are dead." That was an answer for her. His gaze intensified, though, as he considered continuing. He never looked away from her eyes, and he wondered how long it would take before she would look away. "We lived in a... kind of struture that we called a palace. It always shone like the sun, since it was made of gold." The words he used probably went straight through the cat's head, so he didn't bother explaining.

Bell, stubborn as ever, didn't break her gaze with him, and even as his intensified, hers remained light. "Gold? Like my mum's pelt?" she asked, tilting her head but keeping eye contact. "Or like my uncle's beat friend's neice's collar?"

SEARCHING IN THE DARKNESS WE ARE CREATURES OF THE NIGHT RUNNING FROM THE DAY "Most likely your uncle's best friend's niece's collar," he responded. It was strange to have a staredown with a young cat, and he himself felt as if he was a kitten again, proving that he wasn't afraid of anything.

Bell shrugged. "Well then, I know exsactly the type of place you're talking about. Probably not the same place, but mostly similar. So, what happened inside the palace?"

SEARCHING IN THE DARKNESS WE ARE CREATURES OF THE NIGHT RUNNING FROM THE DAY Loki's gaze sharpened. "I hardly think we're talking about the same place," he said evenly, before continuing. "We did everything you can think of. Feasts, celebrations, coronations, and more."

Bell rolled her eyes. "I already said that. Back in the land the twolegs called... I can't even pronounce it, I lived in a palace, which had gold on the inside, but definitely not making it up.

SEARCHING IN THE DARKNESS WE ARE CREATURES OF THE NIGHT RUNNING FROM THE DAY Loki frowned and turned to walk on. Disrespectful little kits, he now knew why his battle mentor used to hate him. Loki was, and still is, the king of sass. "I hooe your palace doesn't glow like your mom."
(( this is the weirdest post i've ever written ))

Bell tilted her head, narrowing her blue eyes. "I seriously don't even know where to start understanding that, so... What?"

SEARCHING IN THE DARKNESS WE ARE CREATURES OF THE NIGHT RUNNING FROM THE DAY Loki broke into the most amused smile, showing that he had won.
(( sorry this is so short ))
