"Couple? No, far from it- more like 'best friends forevar!" there was a sarcastic yet amazingly creepishly preppy girl tone thrown in for the whole 'best friends forevar' thing, it was a form of mockery that was honestly very very odd to see Eithne use. If someone didn't already just innately dislike Eithne they might be able to step back and appreciate her sense of humor for a while and if Eithne wasn't so hateful towards others her sharp and quick wit would likely make her atleast a few friends but alas- ideal universes don't exist where there are roleplayers to mess everything up. "Though why you choose to stay here is a mystery if you're so disinterested, as far as I can tell you're either not welcome or nobody cares- take your pick and you obviously don't seem to care much at all. Then again you're probably too lazy to move your ass somewhere else." Eithne nodded to San, "Not the most respectable excuse but it's the only one you've bothered to show anyone." she explained courteously with a little nod to San, "And Estrik- what're you doing here, might I ask...? I don't assume you'd appreciate it if I went in search of your intentions via. your mind."

"Couple? Pfft," Estrik said with a 'Pee-Shaw' hand movement at San. "Yeah right! This baby is as solid and sturdy as the Rock of Gibraltar," Estrik said, mentally motioning toward his mind, "And I was just laying chilly. Thinking about trying a new trick or two on some demon chipmunk or something." He shrugged like your average teenager.
"Although, now I'm just waiting for the inevitable Vampire-Cat fight," Estrik said, trying hard to keep up a straight face about it. Even so, iof one broke out, he could always just make jokes to both of them about their 'undying love' for him or about some imaginary disable fetish. Blind people sure did rake in the ladies.
"I bet fifty bucks on you, so you better not lose," Estrik said to Eithne; although, where he bet and how he had already bet was a mystery, and the first rule of that betting service was not to specifically talk about said betting service.

Eh, I already told you I don't want to fight, came the response from the orange tabby cat. She ignored both of them, as cats will do. But I don't particularly feel like leaving at the moment. Something interesting might happen. And there seem to be plenty of birds around the area. The cat finished her washing, and yawned contentedly. She stretched luxuriously, before flopping down on her side in a bored, yet adorable fashion. She closed her eyes, and let the sun soak into her fur. She purred quietly, looking no different from any lounging cat now.

Some people might have found cats adorable but Eithne honestly didn't see what was so endearing about a creature that licked around it's feet and anus for the sheer purpose of hacking the hair up hours later. It was rather revolting and the thought that anyone would willingly become a creature like that was one of the more perplexing things to think about for the day. "Of course there are plenty of birds- it's a forest in case you haven't taken notice yet and besides, I'm pretty damn sure that in a place like TMA you'll find something interesting no matter where you go so you can go have your little feline escapades somewhere where you aren't putting your life unwittingly on the line." Eithne suggested, though whatever the danger on San's existance was seemed to be relatively unknown... well, unless you knew Eithne well enough. Then the danger was pretty damn apparent.

Because Estrik did know what was good for him, he took a couple--okay, ten or twelve--steps out of the direct line of fire. He had no intention of getting hit in the balls again; although, since San wasn't male, then he wondered if Eithne had any other gameplan. He of course assumed Eithne was well-versed in anti-rape maneuvers, but that was for defense against men. He pondered. The only rational explanation was that she might also have been trained in case of some strange college kid trying to experiment with her. Perfect sense. And all the while ignoring their conversation, but still subconsciously hoping he didn't just waste fifty bucks.

San looked at Eithne, and yawned. Nah. Too lazy, like ya said earlier. She flopped over onto her back, purring at the sun. Her tail twitched slightly, and her feet were held oddly out in front of her. She looked rather relaxed. She had no problem with telling Eithne she'd been right earlier. That was plain. She didn't particularly want to do much of anything right now. One of the side effects of being a cat.

Eithne released an exhasperated sigh, 'honestly, now...' she thought privately to herself, shaking her head, 'There really are some pathetic beings, now aren't there...?' Eithne shook her head, pulling a metallic object from her pocket, it was a whistle of sorts- a dog whistle. Now most people would wonder why she had a dog whistle well first of all, not only could dogs hear it, but a wide range of other animals too, such as cats. She took this moment to blow the whistle.
And then you could hear something running through the forest, stumbling rather often on it's way but nonetheless hurrying as fast as it could over to the general area- didn't sound particularly gigantic, no larger that a person really. If Estrik was paying any attention to where it was coming from, he'd be able to tell it was a person, a rather odd one at that and probably rather harmless but a person nonetheless, "What did I do to deserve this...? I mean... isn't karma only supposed to give you what's coming to you...? I didn't do anything!' the mysterious person thought to himself before bumbling into view and... It was Neko. "What do you want...?" Neko asked, it was noticeably that he was rather covered in bruises and there would be no doubt that he had a few internal injuries as well. Something must've happened to him and then with the fact that he was running around doing errands for Eithne... you could only guess who was responsible for Neko's injuries.

As Neko arrived, Estrik only had one thing to say, "Holy Hell! A talking cat!" With that he swung a stick that he had instinctively picked up and swung it at Neko's face. One hand went on his chest as he breathed heavily, trying to regain his composure. Talking cats, what's next, werewolves? Jeez!
"Don't worry, I got him!" Estrik yelled back as he continued to wave. If he had a camera and a fishing hook, now would be the time Neko would be hanging from the tree and Estrik would get a picture of him like he just caught a record-breaking Marlin. In the background of his mind he could hear 'We Are The Champions' playing, showing off his success. Boo-Yah.

San looked up with interest when she saw the cat boy. Loki had said something about a cat boy around, this must be him. She shifted forms rather quickly, and pulled herself into a standing position. "Hello," she said. "Estrik, might you leave him alone? He's practically the same as me, and you didn't go waving sticks in my face." She waited for the frenzied wavings to stop, so that she could talk to this cat boy. Someone like her. Happy day.

Neko froze, his ears tilted back and his green eyes wide as he looked towards Estrik, "Please don't..." he said, his voice quiet and a bit scared though you could tell from his actions that he wasn't mean, lazy, or one who posessed most of the characteristic personality flaws of most people here at TMA, he was actually just really likely to have blonde moments. He paused and looked towards Eithne, his expression rather scared in all honesty.
Eithne nodded, sending some telepathic message to Neko about something or other, she seemed perfectly calm, "Estrik, don't bother him, he's pretty much doing this because I asked him." she said telepathically, though Eithne simply 'asking' anyone was unlikely.

"You asked him to be hit in the face with a stick? Wow...I think you might need help," Estrik responded ironically. The blind child dropped the stick and dusted off his hands. He then patted Neko on the shoulder before grabbing his hand and shaking it, "Estrik. Nice to meet you. Sorry 'bout that. Talking cats and all that." He let go and walked over to a tree as if nothing had happened.
"Y'know, I'm pretty sure slavery and abuse was outlawed," Estrik told Eithne, referring of course to Neko. Estrik just seemed to know that Neko was previously injured, most likely like Eithne, and judging by the crude summoning tool of a dog whistle, he guessed that Neko was now Eithne's ho.

Sanet approached Neko, though she looked a little nervous, possibly because she hadn't seen another creature like her in awhile. "Hi," San said quietly. "I'm San." She extended her hand, averting her eyes now. What if he knew her father? What if he didn't want to talk to her? What if he was the last cat creature she'd ever see? Odd questions bogged down her brain.

Neko smiled his rather awkward little smile, "I'm Neko." He said, pausing to look at San's extended hand before he timidly placed his own hand out there as well, not shaking her hand or anything, just holding his hand out, just like she was doing. Shaking hands wasn't something people did in Virisea... and nobody'd ever shaken his hand before so he honestly had no clue what San wanted him to do. You could kind of understand all of this if you looked at his genuinely perplexed expression. "And what are you looking at...?" he asked, pausing before moving his current point where he stood so he was next to San and he placed his face next to hers, his cheek pressed against San's as his eyes innocently looked around to see what it was that San was looking at in case he had missed something from his current point of view. If San was paying particular attention to odd little things as such, Neko smelled oddly of fresh cut grass and oak, there was no reason exactly as to why but some people just had strange natural scents, "I don't see it..." he muttered, his ears twitching a bit and brushing over San's hair to create what some might find a bit of a romantic moment if you were a sucker for such things. A slight shiver passed over Neko's spine and he writhed a bit but only momentarily and he looked over towards Eithne, then back to San, then to Eithne... then back to San... he then pointed to San and looked towards Eithne- writhed again and then released a little bit of an exhasperated sigh. 'I need to stop it with this whole being in debt thing... I'll end up with too many people that I owe my life to...' he thought to himself silently, though he had no sort of mental guard whatsoever.
Eithne looked towards Estrik for a few seconds before an enlightened expression passed over her face, "He agreed to this himself, in case you didn't pick up on that already- he's a rather unprotected mind, kind of simple too if you bother to listen enough... but I didn't beat him, he got himself into trouble and I happened to manage a way to help him out." she explained, one might find it rather amazing since Eithne helping someone with seemingly no self gain would mean that she did have a soul, not only that- but a heart too. But let's not get too sure of ourselves with such things, Eithne's soul and heart are merely myths that people tell around the campfire to keep themselves entertained, for sure they wouldn't actually exist.

"Well of course I didn't know that! The information wasn't available IC or in his form so I couldn't read him!" Estrik said. It was unaware what these strange new words and meanings were, and Estrik's fifty bucks were bet on the fact that he probably didn't understand what they were either, but had just a spontaneous moment of a fourth-wall shattering experience. "Whatever that stuff is," he ended, twiddling his thumbs as he tried not to draw attention to the fact that he had no idea what he was talking about.
"Oh! Perfect chance to test it out! Eithne, watch this. I call it the Pron Bomb," Estrik said as he put both hands to his temples and gingerly massaged them. Estrik assaulted Neko's mind with assorted and rather inappropriate images that could have made a grown man flinch...but this was Neko. It would be much funnier than that.

San's face promptly became bright red as Neko pressed his cheek against her's, and her eyes got rather wide. "Em... um..." She pointed to a robin's nest in the tree, were a mama bird was feeding her young ones. "There. I was watching the Mama robin feeding the little robins." Her voice was quiet, and murmured. She watched the 'exchange' between Eithne and Neko. Once it was over, she looked at him curiously. "What is it?" She could still feel the hotness in her face, it was yet to wear off, and now her face was still pinkish red across her nose and on her cheeks.
