He listened to her words."Well, Xelios, I think you are kind and sweet. you're fun to be around, and I'm really glad I met you. I just hope you feel the same way...no matter what mood you're in."Xelious wondered if she was getting to attached to him. He wondered if he should make things clear, just in case.
"Just to let you know, you're only a friend for the time being. After this, we'll probably never meet again. If we do, I will only be a dark figure. Remember that. Anyway, your turn for questions." He hadn't switched to his darker side, he was just simply telling her the truth.
ooc:// Sorry it's so short. I'll try to think of more next time.
Aeirth tilted her head at Xelious' words. Her heart sank, feeling slightly pained. She was glad to be friends with him, but she didn't want to never see him again. She was attached to him now, and didn't want to see him walk away with no friends in his life. She stood up and walked a ways away. She was nervous now, so couldn't sit still.
"Xelious...friendship is not a temporary thing. It cannot be tossed aside or kept away for later. It isn't meant to be a convenience, but a promise between two people. You are not my friend for now, or when I feel like it, Xelious. You're my friend forever. Friendship isn't broken or lost through time, only strengthened. Now, my question..." she continued and looked straight into his eyes. "What are you afraid of that you won't let yourself make true and lasting friends?" she asked.
Watching her head tilt it made him wonder for only a second until she started to speak. He watched her walk a ways away and could tell she was nervous. He listened to her words and Aerith's question stunned him. How could she ask such a thing toward Xelious? This was a question that not even he knew the answer of...or did he? He closed his eyes and thought about it for a moment. His thoughts were easily distracted by him thinking about what she said.
"How will you be sure that we'll see each other again? What if this is the only time we meet? Does that mean that in 5-7 years, we'll still be friends with out seeing each other once more,he replied.
Xelious couldn't help but start to be cruel. Being cruel was one of his specialties. Well, maybe only for his dark side and with the mood he was in, there was no reason to switch over to it.
He walked around and stepped on a few flowers, not realizing it. When he turned around, his face saddened at the sight of the now dead flowers. What a cruel thing to do... he thought. The subject of being cruel had been brought up again. Finally...he thought of an answer to her question.
"The answer to your question...is...because they're a distraction. A distraction to what I've been trying to do. I'll even tell you what I've been trying to do. I've been trying to find the meaning of my existence."
Aerith looked at him and her ears fell as he stood. He began to speak, asking if they would still be friends without seeing each other. Obviously friendship wasn't something he quite understood. It was foreign to him, like snow in the spring-time or songbirds in winter.
"How will you be sure that we'll see each other again? What if this is the only time we meet? Does that mean that in 5-7 years, we'll still be friends with out seeing each other once more" he said. Aerith didn't re-ply yet, but watched him grow cold and trample a few flowers, dismissing their beauty and innocence, taking away their fragile lives. Gone before their time, a rose never budding...like their friendship.
"The answer to your question...is...because they're a distraction. A distraction to what I've been trying to do. I'll even tell you what I've been trying to do. I've been trying to find the meaning of my existence." he said. Aerith stood up and walked to him, determination in her eyes. She stood right in front of him, eyes staring into his. "And so...Xelious. You expect to find who you are, what you live for without friends? Good luck, because there is no meaningful existence without them. Take it from me. My life was ripped away from me, Xelious, but I didn't give up on the world. So don't give up on yourself. I have a son now, and a life. I started over...you should try it..." she said. Her eyes were tearful thinking of him leaving, lonely and bitter.
"Xelious please...let me help you. Can't your friends tag along while you find your purpose?" she asked.

Xelious looked at her and then growled at her words. Watching her movements as he spoke before and then she spoke....it drove him crazy. Eventually, he'd probably just run off and tell her to "fuck off." He stared at the flowers he had trampled over and lowered his head to see if their smell was still there. He sighed in shame as their beauty was now gone. He then looked back up at Aerith and gave her a dirty look with ears up, tail down.
"I need no one to help me find my purpose. I don't want friends to tag along. It's only a distraction before they die and leave you...Well, that's what a wolf Remicella says about them. Anyways, I don't need your help or your friendship." Xelious was in no happy and he growled once again, muttering a few words like "she's insane" or "a pure annoyance." He sat and thought for a moment longer, staring at the broken flowers. I no longer have an interest in her....
Xelious started to wonder what she'd do next. Would she seriously try again? Didn't she see there was no hope for him? What an annoyance if she tried once again. He raises his paw and pressed it down on another flower, watching it die.

Aerith looked at him with determination, and struggled to make eye contact. she wouldn't back down. He meant something to her, and she would not watch him walk away alone and angry. She was the kind of person who was dedicated from the first moment. Xelious was her friend, now and forever. Even if he got angry with her or lost his temper, she knew the happy, kind Xelious behind it, and she cared for him deeply.
"I need no one to help me find my purpose. I don't want friends to tag along. It's only a distraction before they die and leave you...Well, that's what a wolf Remicella says about them. Anyways, I don't need your help or your friendship." he said. Aerith sighed. "Why do you have to be so stubborn? You hide behind your cruelty, when in reality, that isn't who you really are, not entirely. A moment ago you considered me your friend, and I still consider you to be mine. Don't walk away alone..." she said and heard him mumble about her. "Maybe I am insane, and annoying, but I still care about you. And Xelious...we all die. Should you sacrifice every moment with a friend just so you won't have to be burdened with their death? For one as strong as you...that is very cowardly." Her eyes held compassion and concern for him. She only wanted to help him, and be there for him. "Are you afraid? That your friends can't handle both sides of you? Well...if it is any consolation, I like you for everything you are..." she said softly and whined a bit, showing her concern for him.
Ceres then padded over to him, and buried the small flower he has crushed, covering ti over with rich spring soil. "Out of death will come life. As this flower has died and will flower again, so will loneliness grow into joy, and confusion into clarity." she spoke softly.

His eyes widened as she called him stubborn. Listening to her words made him think about it a bit more. He noticed that she was stubborn as well. That made him smile for a moment as it was true, they were both stubborn. He looked up at her but then looked back at the ground. He gently laid his paw on the now covered up flower. "Maybe...you're right Aerith...just maybe though..." That was probably the best she would get out of him.
He smiled and looked up at her. "By the way...I can't answer your question because it's my turn." He smirked at that. Xelious was referring to "Why do you have to be so stubborn," "Should you sacrifice every moment with a friend just so you won't have to be burdened with their death," and "Are you afraid? That your friends can't handle both sides of you?"
He sighed at his acceptance of the fact that he probably did need friends to find the meaning of his existence or someone at least. If he had no one, he'd truly get no where. He hated to admit that Aerith was right but if she made him or asked him to, he would.

Aerith listened to him and couldn't help but smile slightly at his words. "Maybe...you're right Aerith...just maybe though..." he spoke. She went and sat next to him, still making eye contact.
He smiled to her and she was glad that he no longer seemed angry. "Just maybe is good enough for me" she said. He then spoke, "By the way...I can't answer your question because it's my turn."
Aerith nodded. "Alright, go on ahead." she said. She wondered what he would ask given the circumstances.

He pondered on what he should ask her. He was in a better mood but still curious about several things. He looked at the ground and thought, 'What should I ask her? Something about her past? Something that fits the current conversation? No..I know...' He started to speak. "Aerith, why do you care so much about the whole friend thing?"
He then got an idea. Looking at the now buried flower, he stood up and went around in a circle because his back right leg was starting to fall asleep."Aerith, before you answer, I shall be back." He then turned around and ran towards the woods at fast speeds. He didn't go to far into them but he needed a few sticks. He found several sticks, ranging from small to medium. He was a bit out of breath but he didn't want to keep Aerith waiting. So, he hurried back to her.
Running back, watching out for holes in the ground, he sat for a moment not to far off from Aerith. Then, he got right back up and ran over to Aerith. He then transferred the sticks from his mouth and onto the ground(basically laying them on the ground). He dug up the dead flower and laid it gently next to the hole. Then, dug a new hole where the flower was buried and added the other two dead flowers. He gently took the sticks and put them around the new flower grave. As he was adding the last 2 sticks, the first snapped in half and so did the second. "Damn!" He said, needing those 2 sticks to finish the grave. He was still out of breath & so he didn't want to go back and get more.

Aerith waited patiently as he thought of a question. She was just glad he hadn't left. Her ears perked at the sound of his voice. "Aerith, why do you care so much about the whole friend thing?" he asked. She thought a moment about her answer, but he asked her to wait. Aerith sat, and watched him run off. Soon he came back with a bundle of sticks.
Aerith smiled as he began to bury the flowers and prepare them a grave. His memorial was nearly complete when his sticks started snapping. "Damn" she heard him mumble. Aerith sighed and picked up the pieces of the broken sticks and laid them next to each other/ "Xelious...when two halves of one whole share the same purpose, they can easily come together to complete their task." she said, and laid two halves where one whole stick should have gone. "That's why...I care. Friends complete one another. They fill the void in existance the one's self can never fill alone." she said. "Friends are there to help you, when you have not the energy to go on. And when we are apart, a friend is there to let you know, that someone is always thinking of you"

He thought. In a way, she was right. He wasn't to used to this whole friend thing though so she'd have to teach him with out letting her know that she was teaching him. Odd. When he truly thought about it, maybe a friend was good for him. Maybe a friend could actually help him find what he was looking for. 'It might take a while...' he thought, 'but I guess I have until the day I die....' he smiled at that thought. He had plenty of time as long as he didn't die sometime soon.
He paws went forward along with his front legs, back legs leaning back a bit. His eyes closed for a second before sitting up strait. He was stretching. He wanted to do something. Why just sit around here all day? How dull to him..boring...uninteresting. He started to sniff the air a bit, smelling the flowers, proud of himself. -.Very Proud.- It was unlike him to be proud.
He smiled at the thought of being proud. He was proud because he buried the flowers he had killed. It made him a bit sad to think that he was the one who killed them though. Paw stepping over them and smashing them like a bullet into a wolfs fur and into the skin, causing blood to spurt out. But, still, proud that he did such a thing he'd never do in public.
-.Back to the other subject.- Since he was bored, he looked over at Aerith. It must have been boring for her, too. Just to sit around and talk about all this gushy stuff...boring. Then again, she might of found it slightly interesting to see him act (in his own way) proud. Didn't matter though. He took a deep breath and then grinned, showing his sharp, wolf-like teeth.(Of course they were wolf-like. He is a wolf after all.) He didn't want to play the question game anymore. He started to speak.
"So, what would you like to do now?" he asked, tail wagging back and forth. His eyes watched more butterflies travel around the flowers and the maple tree. He listened to the bees buzzing, landing on each flower and taking juice or honey from it. He then frowned. There was a butterfly on the ground, trying to fly but just couldn't. Was her wing broken? He wasn't sure...until he took a closer look. A part of her left wing was ripped off and he sort of heard the butterfly, cry out in pain. There was just nothing he could do, he supposed.
He let out a sigh, ears going down and then back up, putting on a smile again. It soon after turned into an unsure look. Then, he got up and went over to the butterfly. His head went down towards the ground, his snout touching the ground. He lightly scooped up the butterfly onto his nose and then set it onto a flower so it could be at least a bit happier if it were to die some time soon or at least eat a bit.
