Nik fidgeted a little. "Sorry…" he said after a moment.
You'll See Just How Crazy I Can Be (rp with Icefire, feel free to stalk!)
group
Derlik tilted his head some.
"Why..?"
He shrugged again. "I don't know…"
group
Derlik let out a soft breath, not looking away this time.
"You've done nothing wrong," he promised softly.
He shrugged again. "I…I know, I just…"
group
Derlik let out a gentle breath.
Nik ran one hand through his hair, clsoing his eyes.
group
Derlik turned away when Nik closed his eyes.
"Have you… heard from Smoke and Twili recently?"
He shook his head a little. "No."
group
Derlik bit his lip a moment.
"Hmm… it's been a while…"
He nodded in agreement, hoping the two were alright.
group
Derlik thought for a moment.
"Should we go check on them?"
"Probably." he paused for a moment, then uncurled, standing up and tucking his arms around himself.
group
Derlik looked to Nik a moment, following his example as he stood.
"Shall we go, then? They were that way last we saw them."
Nik nodded slightly. "Yeah."
group
Derlik started off, then, checking occasionally to make sure Nik was okay.
Nik followed Derlik quietly.
group
Derlik let out a soft breath.
"Twili?" the god called out softly. "Smoke?"
Nik was quiet, looking around for them.
group
Twili was busy playing with Smoke, laughing silently again as she tackled the cat with a hug.
Smoke mewed softly, returning the hug happily.
group
Twili grinned, nuzzling her cheek against the man's.
"Twili? Smoke? Come one out you two!"
Smoke's ears twitched faintly when he heard Derlik calling, but he didn't let go of Twili.
group
Twili looked up as well, then back to Smoke. She didn't let go, but did nudge him to answer.
Smoke sighed faintly. "Over here!" he called back, looking at Twili after he called out.
group
Twili smiled, hugging Smoke again.
Derlik let out a relieved breath, starting to where he'd heard Smoke.
Nik followed Derlik.
Smoke hugged Twili back happily, tail twitching a little.
group
Derlik continued until he found the two, still caught up in each other's arms.
"Aww," he said softly under his breath.
"You two doing good?"
Smoke blinked up at him, nodding a little, then rubbed his cheek lightly against the side of Twili's head. It was a cat-like behavior, carried over from when he actually was a cat.
group
Twili giggled silently, leaning into the rubbing.
"Okay, then," Derlik said, gently patting each of their heads. "Now, it is getting late so make sure to come back soon, okay?"
