Tree House

Keomai looked around, and when it seemed flip and fawsew had drawn their attention more on the way home, Keo stopped walking, smiling, still holding onto Shoe's hand.

Dog nodded. She figured, walking over to Arrow and Sun, looking down at her baby girl with a smile, who looked up and squeak skree'd. "..... Arrow?" She didn't get TOO close, but she held out the raw thigh, giving off an awkward smile.

Shoe stopped walking as Keomai did. He looked at her, as if wondering why. Half his face covered in mud, patched over one eye. His wet, star white, hair hanging loosely in his face.

keomai blinked, looking over to Shoe, smiling a little, before giggling. "You've got mud all over... Your face...!" She smiled, having mud plastered onto her's as well, but oh well. She licked her thumb, leaned close to rub it off his cheek. and nu >:C this isn't the cute thing.

[OOC: are you sure? cause that was pretty darn cute ;A;]

Shoe looked at her, one eyebrow raised. Of course he had mud on him, she did to! But she most likely knew that anyhow. He simply stared at her. As if his dark orbs were trying to speak to her orange ones.

Keomai had been more concentrated with looking at the mud as she whuped it off, before deciding there was too much, her eyes meeting his, reddening her cheeks a little as she stared "......." With her hand still on the side of his face, she hesitantly leaned forwards, pulling back a little, before again leaning in, closing her eyes, kissing him without even noticing what she had done =w=

[OOC: oshi there it is ;C;!!!!!]

His eyes grew wide with surprise, one hand still in hers, the other hanging lifelessly at his side. As though without his control, it raised, and embraced her. His face relaxed until his eyes slowly fell shut, and before he knew it, he was kissing her back.
The raindrops poured down on them, and lightning flittered in thi distance like huge flickering candle light. The thunder seemed so much softer, so much more distant.

keomai took her hand away from his face, wrapping her arm over his shoulder, leaning against him. Klitch came through the brush, spotting the scene her mouth gaping wide open. What the hell!? She'd only known him for a little short of two days! Crawling onto her back, Klitch tried pulling Keomai's face out of it.

Shoe was in such another world...such a happy and peaceful and lovi-HEYWHAT? What was going on!?

He open his eyes and with pin-point like pupils he met Klitch's prying hands. He pulled back, mouth agape with that 'oh...shit' kind of look on his face.

Keomai's eyes fluttered back open before she noticed Klitch on the back of her head, pulling. She blushed madly, reaching back grabbing the little animal "H-hey cut it out..!" Klitch growled, fursona sizing herself, making Keo collapse. Klitch then picked her up, throwing the girl over her shoulder with a grunt and kept walking following flip's scent. -_____________-

Shoe waited a moment, and soon followed. It was as if he was taking a walk of shame, but the walk of shame had never tasted any sweeter.

FlipFlop and Fawsew arived at that house. Flip griffon-grinned, and gave a proud nod of his head. Fawsew jumped up, running up the griffon's neck until he reached FlipFlop's head.
"HaHA! We're finally here! Maybe now we can get clean and get something to eat, ay Shoe? ....Shoe?"
The cowpig looked around.
"DARNIT SHOE!" That boy...
FlipFlop also looked around, beak somewhat agape with stun.

Keomai kicked her feet a little, tail whisping around. "Kliiitttccchhhhhh put me down....!" She whined, wiggling around, though the furry woman didn't allow her to budge from her shoulder. TT_TT

FlipFlop scented the air, and craned his neck around to see Keomai, at the mercy of Klitch, emerging from the bushes and trees. Shoe followed soon after, who lifted his head and gave a grin to the griffon who thundered over to greet him.

"Where have you guys been!?" asked Fawsew, looking around the suspects of three waiting for one of them to answer.

Koemai waited for klitch to set her down but however she was not. This upset her. She flailed, kicking and wriggling. "LET ME DOWN! TT_TT" Klitch glared, holding her firmly.

Fawsew was a little agrivated that everyone failed to answer his question, however he would have to let it go. He hopped off of Flip and trotted inside, it was time for that bath!

Shoe however had an firey glare set on Klitch now. He had been stubbornly ignoreing her thus far, but seeing this sort of parental control Klitch was holding over Keomai upset him.
"Hey! She wants you to put her down!" He said as though Klitch haddn't heard all of Keomai's struggleing words, though he knew damn well that she had.

FlipFlop looked at Shoe, sensing his anger. His head turned to Klitch and Keomai as though he too was waiting for a responce.

keomai squeaked, trying to look over herself at Shoe, , struggling more to get down. Klitch ignored them too. Finally Keomai couldn't take it, expanding her wings, which slipped out of the skin on her back to make them larger, flapping them slapping them against Klitch's head and back, feathers flying evurywhere. "LEGGO!"

Shoe knew she had wings, though he wasn't aware of their size. He stared a moment, watching one of the feathers fall to the wet earth. He raised his gaze, back to the struggle. With an angry and rugged look, He lept foward, grabbing a hold of one of Klitch's hands, using his weight to pull her arm down, trying to release the wildly wing flapping Keomai.

Keomai fell off Klitches shoulder, who turned, trying to swipe away at Shoe, but Keo smacked her, forcing her down into the mud. "Klitch! You're supposed to be my best friend, and support my decisions! If you wanna go home then go by yourself!" She muttered, pushing away from her, running over to Shoe, making sure Klitch hadn't hit him.

After the downward force of Keomai being freed, he landed on his feet and his eyes never blinked as he quickly bent his knees to evade Klitch's swipe. Standing straight as quickly as he had made the dodge. However to his shock, the fight was over. Keomai had actually smacked Klitch, which was something he didn't expect of her to do. It takes a brave heart to smack one's best friend, but it's usually for some reason. Shoe felt a little guilty, not wanting to really come between the two's friendship, once again mentally beating himself up over it.

He failed to realise how it was his pressence that allowed Keomai the strength to do what she had done. Setting an example and sticking to her choice.

Klitch held her face and stared at Keomai. She frowned, looking down, walking away. Keomai looked a sho, wrapping her arms around his waist. "She's only upset because you remind her of someone... But he's gone now, so there's nothing she can do. She'll get over it...."

Shoe looked a little confused. "I.. remind her of someone?" He glanced up to where Klitch had walked off to, and waited for a respectable distance between them. He was fully aware that Klitch's animal ears would pick up his words, even if she was far, so he waited for her to be further then far.

"...Who?"

Keomai smiled a little and shrugged. "Well... Someone special, lets just say that. And to put it in easy ways, I remind her of her. And she just doesn't want me to get hurt." She smiled and shook her head. "But I trust that you're different..." She smiled, looking up at him.

Shoe stared a moment, not sure of what to say. He didn't exactally see himself as the greatest person. What if he had ever done something that would upset Keomai? Even though he knew in his heart that he wanted to protect her, it was his unsure future that fogged his eyes. How could she have such confidence in him?

FlipFlop had watched Klitch walk off, and had been stareing at Shoe and Keomai for quite some time. He nudged his head between the two, wanting some attention as well.

Shoe looked at FlipFlop, With one arm around Keomai with the hand on FlipFlop's neck, he patted Flip with his other hand.
"Maybe we should go inside..." was all he could choke out for now. He was starving, wet, and dirty. However he didn't mind being wet and dirty.

Keomai nodded, smiling a little petting Flip, looking up at Shoe. "Lets get some food in you...! <3!" She laughed a little, looking at the house, walking forwards towards the house, a little hungry herself. She was worried about shoe but chose not to show that. She'd talk to him when she had a little more time on her hands, when other things weren't in the way, like food.

Shoe somewhat barged right into the house, dripping with watery mud all over the floor.

"Where's the food?" >:C. He made a hungry glance at Fawsew, who had fixed himself up by now. The cowpig was clean, full, happy....plump...

Dog jumped a little, pointing to an entire thigh she kept to the side away from the others, just for him, knowing he had been the hungriest out of the group. "H-.. here...!" She stared at the mud, but looked away.

Keomai smiled, nudging shoe. "Go on. I'm going to go take a shower..." She smiled, rubbing the back of her muddy head looking at Dog, who sheepishly pointed to her bathroom.
