Blood Grim Forums

"Partner?....like, the spirit wolf? Well...I. What do you want me to say?"

Fen's smirk leaves and he softens up a little "I don't want to force anything out of you; I'm just wondering what you think of it; how you feel about sharing your body with it... but if you feel uncomfortable talking about it I appologize; I can understand why you would be sensitive about it" Fen trails off thinking of lycans he had met before and the different takes they had on their gift.

Charlie shifted positions, sitting on one leg, and hugging his other to his chest. His gaze flicked over to the piglet, and couldn't help smiling as it rolled happily in the grass, snorting softly.

"Well...It's just. I'm not really..sensitive or anything. It's just a weird sort of topic." He grinned at the man as he said his next part. "Especially with a stranger."

Then he looked back at his feet, and realized there was really no harm in talking about it. "It's just...it's not really sharing my body. But...sometimes I'm just kicked out, and then I'm normal for the rest of the month." He looked up awekwardly again, not sure if Fen would understand at all.

Fen nods "that's understandable; sorry I'm not trying to scare you". He looks around begins to think... "Have you ever met someone with mastery of their lycanthropy? They don't have to be first generation or anything like that but I just mean in general; have you ever meta lycan who has complete control over their werecreature? Heard they're pretty rare and scary" Fen says trying to shift the topic a litttle but Lycans peeked his interest and he couldn't pass up an opportunity to talk to this wonderful boy who was also a lycan. Fen felt a bit bad though asking him questions of his own people and not atleast showing the boy his gift...

Charlie thought back to the one guy he had met a year ago. It was dark, almost full moon, and the man was dressed well, and completely insane. The man seemed completely happy about being a wolf, and seemed in control of his wolf form. But, that could have just been because they were both 'evil', or something. Think alikes. And then there was his dad...

"Oh, scary? I don't know. Normal lycans can be just as freaky as any other kind. Why are you so interested?" He might tell the guy, it was just plain and simple weird to talk about these things to any one other than Bluex.

Fen began to laugh harder "sorry I'm just a bit strange and I've never understood lycans or humans so well; but there's nothing freaky about lycans at all though; I suppose it's wrong of me to ask you to show your hand without me showing you mine though" Fen say cracking his knuckles a bit "I'll something you will never see from 3 well 2 now... other people in this universe but in return you have to promise never to speak of what you see... comprende'?" Fen says grinning a bit

Charlie winced, not not sure if he liked how this man continued to tell him otherwise. Didn't he know about lycans more than Fen? But it didn't matter that much. He knew, that most lycans were freaks. And they didn't seem to belong anywhere...except for in this weird little town.

He leaned forward as he realized the man was going to tell him something...secretive? What could anyone have to hide that was so important? He himself had virtually no secrets. At least, none that his life depended on, if that was the matter.

He grinned back a Fen. "Yeah, I promise." He said truthfully, what reason could he have for spilling the word on something obviously so important to Fen?

Fen nodded and pulled a roll of bandaging from his bag and began to wrap it round and round his right arm untill it covered every bit of his arm accept his finger tips "This isn't a form if witchcraft or anything to unnatural but I'm going to show you on a small scale...I sorta invented this based on the work of my teachers"

Fen placed his index finger in the air and pulled down creating a line of a white burning essence; he then make another line to make it look like a + then 2 more lines to make a x; then the points of them seem to connect themselves creating an 8 pointed star that slowly begins to be surrounded by ghostly octogons; Fen clenched a fist and held tight... the points of the star seemed to explode firing a helix out strait ahead but not leaving the area where the octogons appeared around the octogram ; then fen takes a deep breatha and relaxes his palm and the white fire stops... it then breaks like glass in midair and dissapears before it hits the ground...

Charlie sat still in watched in his curious nature. He wondered why the man was wrapping his hand up. To protect it, perhaps? When he was done, it looked like he had an injury or something. Then Fen put his hand in the air and a weird white light appeared. Curiousity was replaced with amazement. He quickly scooted back and to the side. He didn't think Fen would ever intentionally hurt him, but whatever this 'magic was, Charlie didn't want to be in the way of it.

After the star of fire, and what reminded Charlie of old ghost stories, was gone, he simply gawked at the now empty space of air. He turned his amazement to Fen, and gave him the biggest smile. "Cool! What was that?" He didn't care what it was, it was cool enough that he simply got to see it.

Fen brings his finger up to his lips "shhh that's blackstar my invention created because of a gift I possess" he said before smirking. looking over the carnage and mumbling to himself "...decent shot...". Fen looks back to Charlie "we aren't that much different; you and I; one day you'll come to terms with your partner and your gift will blossom into something great and beautiful; you're a smart guy so I have confidence in your abilities" Fen says adjusting his shades and observing the boy further once more before closing his eyes and opening 'his eyes mind' or simply opening his sence of mysticism...

He now looks into Charlie trying to get a somewhat good measure on what kind of strength he possesses... but to no result he then trys to use otherbeings; the trees; the tadpoles and frogs and even the piglet as measurement for Charlie but still no result. 'Damn' Fen thinks 'he has a soul and an aura but no definate level of ability; he probably despises his gift at heart... but I can't judge quickly... Still it's sad to see lycans who think they live with such a curse...'. He then sits back down.

"So... you got any hobbies?"

"Shhh, that's blackstar, my invention created because of a gift I possess."

Charlie turned his head slightly, like a dog might when confused. Blackstar? An invention? Did all of his people....if he had any, posses some sort of gift. He turned away from Fen and stared at the destruction it had created. What was he aiming for? Charlie wasn't sure he liked it so much anymore. He couldn't help thinking that this gift could only be used to hurt people and things.

As his back was facing Fen, he felt a weird sort of sensation come over him. It wasn't something he had every felt, and a shiver almost made its was down his spine. Perhaps it was just the fact that he had his back turned on someone he had only just met, despite how nice, he was still very odd. But Charlie felt that there was more to it. Like, that Fen was trying to read him like a book; looking at more than just the cover.

"So... you got any hobbies?"

Charlie slowly turned back to him with a grin playing across his face. He scooped up the little piglet with his one hand and held it to him so the little belly was poking out. "Animals!" He stated happily. "Something about animals...I just walk around and have luck enough to find little...and big guys in need." Giving the man his view of fun, he wondered what Fen liked to spend his free time on.

"What about you? You have a hobby?"

Fen watches the boy's reaction to white flame; feeling slightly ashamed of himsefl for not taking into concideration this boy's empathy with nature. Fen just sighs tearing the bandages off of his arm. and looking over to Charlie listening to Charlie answer his questions.

"What about you? You have a hobby?"

"Actually I have a few; mainly just wandering and enjoying art and culture; and I've had to lay a few of my hobbes to rest... But I usually prefer to spend my time with peaceful activity" Fen says grabbing his gear and flinging it over his shoulder "Maybe I'm just a vagabond with no direction or a ghost looking for a reason to exist... but I feel as though I don't belong here anymore.." He says sighing and turning away from Charlie and walking towards town...

Charlie sat smiling, nodding as he listened to Fen talked. He didn't exactly state any specific hobbies, but Charlie was happy to hear how he liked to be peaceful, despite his strange fire act. But when the man began getting up to go, Charlie's mouth simply fell open. Leaving? Why? He didn't understand. Had Charlie done something wrong?

After gawking at the man walking away for at least ten seconds, he quickly scrambled to his feet, scooped up the piglet, and ran after the man.

"Wait! Where are you going? What's wrong? I don't get it!" He reached Fen and stopped by his side. He quickly collected himself, and tried to calm down. This man was very comfusing. At first he wants to sit with Charlie and just talk, and then he's walking away, saying he doesn't belong. Belong where? With what? Was he really uncomfortable with Charlie? Then why did he come and start the freakin' conversation with the kid in the first place?!?!

Charlie took in a quick breath of air and tried to cool his face expression into a half frown.

"Well...where ya heading? I mean...I'll go to town with you if you want. If that's where your going, cause I gotta drop this pig in the shop anyways." He mustered a small smile for Fen, despite his confusion and unhappiness.

"Wait! Where are you going? What's wrong? I don't get it!"
"Well...where ya heading? I mean...I'll go to town with you if you want. If that's where your going, cause I gotta drop this pig in the shop anyways."

Fen stopped as Charlie caught up to him deciding it best to let him catch a breath before replying. Fen's eyes followed him carefully though not suspiciously; this boy seems relatively harmless; nothing that would threaten Fen for the time being. Fen's eyes retuned to the piglet Charlie carried over projecting it as proof to himself that this boy wouldn't harm him. Fen adjusted his shades and ran his right hand through his hair now ready to respond to Charlie. "You seem to be very intune with nature; I thought I offended you with my ability... but if you desire company then I suppose it'd only be right to give you such" Fen says smiling again before begining to walk again towards town occaisionally glancing over his shoulder to make sure Charlie and the piglet weren't being left behind.

Charlie nodded slightly, thinking about what Fen had said. At first he felt offended, but when he fed the man's words through his mind again, he realized the guy was only being nice...or wary. Charlie couldn't really tell.

He followed after Fen, feeling slightly awkward. He formed a sentence to say at least ten times before finally speaking up.

"You...didn't really offend me. I was just surprised, is all. And besides, who doesn't desire company. Don't you like company every once in a while?"

Charlie thought about Bluex, all of a sudden. Bluex hated company...except, of coarse, for Charlie's- and Seria's. Maybe Fen just needed the right kind of people to talk to, and he was uncomfortable with everyone else. But...no, that was wrong. Fen seemed nice, if a little weird, since the second they met. Charlie just couldn't quite figure him out. But, there was really no rush. Besides, he liked being surprised by people...as long as it was in a good way!

"You...didn't really offend me. I was just surprised, is all. And besides, who doesn't desire company. Don't you like company every once in a while?"

"I s'pose but I have a tendancy to be a problem in crowds" Fen responds as they near the city. He watches the cars slowly turn the corners and the people walking around the sidewalks; shoppers; panhandlers; people just going on strolls. People of all classes of society inhabiting a few streets full of culture and people but to Fen they all seemed the same class of people. He begins to mumble under his breath "...what a wonderful old world..." He takes in a large breath then releasing it slow his brain fogging and clearing creating a small sence of euphoria for him. "So where you wanna go Charlie?" He said turning back to his companion.
