#Silas Zorua/ Nickit

[ask-team-misfit]

To say Rue felt uneasy from that exchange she witnessed would be an understatement. Though it was in a language she didn't understand, her worry for Silas' sake only grew that much more. Whatever was actually said left him too shaken to speak.

Then there was the way the Braixen woman laid eyes on her. Mistook her for being much younger than she actually was, perhaps. The look in her eyes she had as Rue met her gaze, like the Zoroark hybrid was looking through Rue, and not at her…

It took a lot for her not to shudder at Seance's touch. Even as she took a step back or so in response.

Rue: "Ma'am… I'm an adult."

She eyed Seance carefully. Her tails were considerably lowered, but quivering at their tips.

Rue: "In fact, I just turned eighteen. I may be unevolved, but I'm not a child… I'm also under no obligation to tell you anything more about myself, other than my name."

[ Reply & Reaction to this - Rue belongs to @ask-team-misfit ]

Silas seemed very comforted by her response, it wasn't often someone made such a big promise to him. Usually when his fellow Zorua's made such promises they quickly broke them. Maybe it was the fact Rue was a stranger... or maybe it was that he was extremely naive but he trusted her word. Shakily he stood back up, this time he looked much more confident. However, as soon as his starting word left his mouth his ears perked up. He heard... something. Someone, he knew someone had been lurking around. But he never expected it to be her so soon.

Silas quickly froze in fear... he wasn't supposed to be out here. He REALLY wasn't supposed to be out here. The last time he was out here he ended up battered and bruised, barely able to let out a plead for mercy. Even so, he turned to the familiar figure who had approached him. It was his 'Mother', Seance. Though she smiled at him, he knew that expression was one of pure rage. She was beyond angry, he was just thankful Rue was present... that was the only thing keeping her at bay for right now.

The ghost loudly scolded him. {"Did you not learn anything? Did the last time really not get it in your head? You really are stupid."} She scoffed before, waving a hand at Silas. {"I'll deal with you later."} Seance seemed thankfully disinterested in him, she wasn't going to waste her time on a lost cause. After all, no matter how many times she corrected him he always did the same things. Over and over again, never learning.

"Why are you meddling with my child? Do you locals not learn to leave us alone?" Her accent was much more apparent than Silas' however... unlike him. Her sentences were much more well put together and clear, "Actually." She cheerfully hummed.

"Tell me little one, do you have any Zoura in you?" She studied Rue for a moment before letting out a chuckle. "Well, I don't think that really matters with a pup as beautiful as you." Easily she knelt down beside Rue. "So... let's get to know each other, hm?"

"Is she around here somewhere? Are you an orphan? Someone as cute as you should watch out, I heard there's an absolutely gorgeous fox around here who loves to adopt little stray pups like you~ If you aren't careful she might just snatch you up for her own." "Though I wouldn't blame her for doing so," She reached out to stroke Rue's hair with her claws. Her touch felt more chilling than anything, "You have such beautiful and fiery hair and... Oh! Honey-coloured eyes. You're so gorgeous, I don't have one like you~" She thought for a moment, muttering to herself. "Though... I already have six pups. Perhaps I could replace one... yes. I'd get rid of my annoying little fox but." She sighed, "I need him! He's too good at killing things with that illusion of his. Maybe pup #2 or #3... hmm... oh yes... #2 is perfect."

→ Seance, The Mother of Zoruas is now available for asks. However, she seems more interested in Rue at the moment. → Silas is unresponsive for now... another pup has been brought along with Seance.

Even with Silas nudging her back, and even with his words confirming what she thought to have been said and worse, she couldn't bring herself to move little more than some steps back.

It chilled her how quickly Seance dismissed her, even ordering her death. And that was just what she saw of her.

What about all that she didn't see? What about the kind of person Silas truly saw?

Rue: "I... I'm sorry."

So much of her didn't want to leave. But then the only other option would risk injury to those she'd rather protect.

Rue: "I'm sorry..."

Her apology to Silas was barely audible upon repeating it. She would hesitate but a moment further before taking off in a sprint the way she came here.

[ Reply to this - Rue belongs to @ask-team-misfit ]

"Raising them is far too much work, I think I've made up my mind." She stood up, before looking down at Rue with annoyance and disintrest. "You should really learn some manners because well..."

"I could have used such a cute face to my advantage, But I guess some things just aren't meant to be, right?" She gave a chuckle before she gestured to Rue.

"I'll just feed the scraps to the other pups later. So, go on, don't be shy, give your packmates something to eat. I'm sure they're starving." The ghost scoffed while walking away. As soon as she did the mysterious pup quickly jumped up and approached Rue. They began to slowly stalk forward, threatening to pounce on her at any moment.

This seemed to break Silas from his silent daze, and without much thought, he rushed in front of Rue and placed himself between her and the other pup. Even though he was shaking, he stood his ground, letting his own little growl out as a warning. He didn't want anyone to get hurt because he got caught doing something he shouldn't have done, It wasn't fair to her. She didn't deserve to die.

"She is not food, leave her alone!" He yelled while he gently nudged Rue farther away from the aggressor.

Neither of them looked pleased with the other. These types of fights were nothing new to them. They often butted heads when it came to the things Seance asked of them, Silas never liked how the pup blindly obeyed her and they certainly never liked how Silas didn't listen. Angrily the Eevee began circling around him, thankfully their attention was no longer on Rue but on Silas himself. If they wanted to get to her it was obvious they were going to have to get passed him first. And well... that was never a problem considering how weak and timid Silas was in comparison. He was always quick to back down once things got ugly.

"Move fox!" They barked out again, this time in something more understandable, but no matter how they moved Silas kept her behind him. "Flower fox, you should leave. Please." He quietly said, whilst giving her another nudge back. "Mother wants to make you food, it is not safe anymore. Please go."

[ask-team-misfit]

She listened patiently to everything Silas had to say, even when she really only understood most of it. The language he spoke briefly when mentioning the "little fox" was quite alien to her. She never heard anything like it before now.

That said, it did surprise her somewhat, how he came to be so comfortable in her presence so quickly. It made her wonder about this Winter person; maybe the resemblance between them was fairly close, she thought.

But she picked up on one thing relatively quick. The way he mentioned his mom.

"Mother does worse."

She feared what that meant. It showed on her face.

She tried to be reassuring despite this.

Rue: "No, it's alright. I don't think you're talking too much. I'm very happy to keep listening, if you like."

Rue: "If anything, I'm sorry. That language you spoke before? I don't know it. But you mentioned not wanting to evolve. The word you meant was 'evolution', wasn't it?"

[ ID: A grayscale drawing of Rue similar to the previous image, but with a different expression. Her expression is more neutral. End ID ]

Rue: "Growing up, evolving... it's a very big change. I completely understand not wanting to evolve. I can understand being scared of it."

To be frank, she felt much of the same way about it. She was half tempted to talk about it, but held herself back. She felt it would be inappropriate to inject her side of things into this, towards this child.

Especially after having reason to be concerned about where he came from. Her eyes drift towards the fence again.

Her front paw moved towards the bag of supplies she kept with her on her travels, feeling for the spare berries inside it.

Rue: "I-it's. Really not my business..."

Her voice lowered somewhat. She struggled with how to ask.

She was wary that Silas wasn't even alone out here. Gods forbid her meddling made whatever sort of treatment he was getting at home even worse.

[ ID: A grayscale drawing of Rue similar to the previous image, but with a different expression. She appears fairly nervous. She’s looking off to the right. End ID ]

Rue: "Are things at home... serious?"

Rue: Having been out here previously, she looked over at the sounds of Silas struggling to squeeze through the hole in the fence. Given the noise he made upon pulling free, she hoped he didn't hurt himself...

She approached to speak, but not too close. "Are you alright? It didn't hurt to force yourself through there, did it?"

Silas perked up at the sight of a Vulpix, a fellow fox? And a hybrid? Maybe they were a local from the area? Nonetheless, he looked excited to see her. So much so that he appeared to be completely enamoured with the color of her fur.

"It is warm and nice," He happily sat up from his previous position, it seemed as if he almost wanted to wander over to greet her but he kept the distance between them. "You remind me of Winter. He is the oldest, he takes care of us when we are hurt. I think he would like you a lot, he said he used to have many tails, much like you. Then he misbehaved a lot... now he only has one." He gave a sudden head tilt puzzled by her height, were Vulpix normally this small? Even he was a good amount taller than Rue and he was considered the smallest Pokemon on his team. "Urr. But... You are much smaller than him."

"That is why I got stuck... I dug that... A very, very long time ago." The fox's ears flattened further when his mind drifted back to the idea of evolution, he'd been avoiding it for years now. He had passed that evolution level a while ago, hadn't he? "I do not want to evolve but..."

"I know the word in Pokemon but I cannot say it very well." He muttered, putting his paws down. "Mother wants me to evolve so she took it... but I do not want to..."

"I cannot stop it." He sighed before looking away, he seemed sad once again. Thankfully, he was much more comfortable around Rue than he was the previous Pokemon. "Sorry... I am talking alot. It just means I can not get out of the fence very well anymore. It did not hurt... I would not have noticed anyway. A few scratches... is nothing... Mother does worse."

[ask-team-misfit]

Rue's eyes grew wide at what she saw and heard. She said nothing for some moments, wary of whether or not to comfort him, to offer something of hers like she thought to do originally, or to leave it be and not get involved.

Yet a part of her didn't want to leave it be. Not after having watched the larger Zorua become reduced to a quivering mess over what was asked.

It made sense to her that if things really weren't serious, then Silas wouldn't sound so terrified at the mere mention of his mom.

Right?

Rue: "I see..."

Another, shorter pause. Slowly, very slowly, she took some tentative steps forward, almost tiptoeing closer to Silas.

Rue: "I-I'm not going to tell her anything. Alright? Look at me."

Her own tails quivered. Was she doing the right thing? The way the boy growled at her and seemed particularly high strung was hard to ignore. She kept wondering if she should have even said anything, since he did mumble it under his breath, twice.

Yet it still did not feel right to leave things as they were.

Rue: "It's my mistake. You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to. I just wanted to make sure you were alright."

She stopped before him, perhaps half a foot away or so. She lowered onto her belly, watching for his reaction.

[ Reply to this from @ask-team-misfit ]

Silas seemed excited the moment he heard Rue wouldn't mind listening to him, no one ever wanted to listen to him... but his smile quickly faded into a confused expression.

"What... does... that mean...?" His eyes shifted around while he tried to understand, did he say something wrong? He wasn't completely sure what she meant, but whatever it was it didn't seem very good. He couldn't help but notice her reaching towards her bag. In response, he let out a soft and low growl.

Teeth bared, Silas nervously backed away from her. Despite the sudden aggression he looked more scared than anything.

The tiny fox loudly began to ramble, it seemed like he was reciting off some type of script. Almost as if this was information he was fed and told to say when faced with questions. Eventually, he just ducked down with a whimper and began another attempt to hide himself.

"I do not want to get hurt again! Please do not tell!"

[ask-team-misfit]

Rue smiled. Making eye contact with him helped put her at ease about this. As she responded, her tails lower and eventually lie still behind her.

Rue: "Yes. Of course. I promise she will know nothing of this."
