Like it or not, Scary eyes hadn't left her to be eaten by a spider. Or eaten her himself. A predator who doesn't eat helpless prey is... weird. Not unlike he didn't eat meat. He ate that rat in front of her! Kouveli's instinct of flight/fight wars with her emotions. Like... this isn't a bad predator. And scary eyes shouldn't be eaten by a giant thing that is freezing him over. His head is bowing closer to his chest, like a sleeping bird. No! Don't sleep! Cold sleep is bad! A squeak, she doesn't just put her nose in his ear, but nips the edge sharply. The taste of blood! Didn't mean to nip that hard. Scary eyes, lets GO. GO NOW. More audible whining. The jackalope is quite distressed, and that bird was coming closer and they were gonna be eaten! The apparition of ice and light flickers in the differences of light. If there was a mouth, a cloud of freezing mist exhales. J6 TBB 8 Scary sights 8 [29 0/5 0/10 11/20]

The trembling is visible on the galabex as she stands across the shivering mammalian. A foot stamps downwards, and although her muscles are still trembling in fear, those opalescent eyes face the 'bird'. Fear is slowly being overwritten, trying to. Those long bunny ears drop as low as can go as she extends her head and neck forward, glaring at the beast ahead. Shifting her body some as she sidesteps over her scary eyes cat with long, deliberate footsteps that stamp on the frozen floor. The bird watches, but does not advance. A sharp 'click' sound, like someone clacking a beak. The flare of yellow lights. Kouveli's posture straightens up, tucking her chin with the ears still dropped flat to her neck as she sidles. Her fluffy neck fur fluffs outward, prickling along her spine. Not that the thing before her would know the signs of an aggressive deer. Or getting aggressive. She's trying to get the thing to BACK OFF. J7 TBB9 Scary Sights 9[29 0/5 0/10 12/20]

Contrary to a deer though, the jackalope snorts are very soft, more like sneezes then anything else. Kouveli's bunny nose is twitching madly. She stomps her feet at the creature, a growl bubbling in her throat. Be scary. Be scary back and it will get scared and leave. Or lose interest. Food that fights back is not worth the trouble. If it came to it, these antlers werent for show. But she'd rather not charge the beast. because it would fly over her head, and eat Scary eyes instead, who is not showing any signs of trying to back off or at all. Keep herself between Scary eyes and the scary bird. The apparition sees the change in her posture. The animal is showing her aggression. The PREY animal is being aggressive as a result of standing over the predator. Does not compute. Protect a predator, by prey? Does not compute. J8 TBB10 Scary sights 10 [29 0/5 0/10 13/20]

The beast doesn't get it. Fine. Thumping her larger back feet again, the giant rabbit deer rears up on her hind legs, lunging out her front paws with an aggressive shake of the antlers. No hooves, but her scratchy nails will be scary, right? Go away. Go away. This is MY PREDATOR. Angry. Until she came down and the ground beneath her fluffy paws is COLD. it hurts. She SCREAMS. THAT gets some attention. The impending cold wave in the form of a bird pauses as she rears again with another great shrieking scream. Does not compute. Prey does not scream not upon death. Screaming prey being aggressive. Does not compute. Chill exchange complete. The light doesn't go out, but the apparition slowly dissipates, and the room is still cold but not nearly as chilled as it had been. Whatever that was, is gone now. Cold cold cold cold cold! Dancing on her forepaws briefly, Kouveli dances her way back to the cat, putting her nose in his ear. J9 TBB11 Scary Sights 11[29 0/5 0/10 14/20]

A deep chill shook the mammalian's figure until a warm fluffy exhale is going off in his ear. Don't think he didn't miss being nipped on by the indelicate bunnydoe. The haze of cold slowly is leeching out of his body as the chill in the air is receding, slowly. It prompts him to sneeze, lurching back onto his butt rather then quite asleep ankles. A jerk of surprise, the cat man doesn't immediately realize what has happened. But Kouveli is stepping over him like she's putting herself between something and himself. Blinking a few times, still a bit haze brained, he glances about... there's a mote of yellow light, drifting in front of them. Around him, the table has frozen over, the snacks slowly thawing with the increase of temperature. but the carpet has disappeared. the room has shifted itself in the manor. ...did they just go through a month change inside the house? /Heavy/ he grunts, leaning into her bulk as the bunny keeps stepping over him. not bouncing, stepping.

She looks back when the predator beneath her is moving. Scary eyes is alive! She steps off of him, and nudges her head into his own head as she circles the cat man. His eyes may be scary but thats nothing to a giant scary bird of cold. And the cold bird is gone now. The galabex may be riding a high of victory over driving off a predator without having to attack it. She highly preferrs running if possible. But scary eyes didn't deserve being eaten. He protected her. She protected him from another, bigger, predator. The bird is gone, but the light isn't. Like watching a stickless fire hovering in midair. What is that. The facts are coming together while Skylos rubs his paws together briskly, shivering in his thick coat of fur. He might have long fur but this isn't a winter coat by any means. Your fur can be long and you can still be cold. Its the undercoat that counts. J11 TBB13 Scary Sights 13[29 0/5 0/10 16/20]

/Thank you/ he purrs to the galabex. She sneezes briefly then sticks her nose in his ear. Playfully this time. She seems to be relieved he's not frozen to the ground anymore. Did he have more treats? Lucky him, he had an apple cube defrosting in his pawlm. Offering it carefully upwards. Kouveli regards the treat, regards him, ears perked up from being flat, then eats it out of his pawlm rather then lobbing it onto the floor. Skylos shivers again, prompting a wide toothy yawn. Teeth! The rapid chewing of the treat stops as she sees his array of meat cutting and tearing teeth inside his head. Alarm? No. Instead she angles her head to see inside upwards. Was she curious? He doesn't get prey animals. Especially spliced ones. His yawn and teeth did catch her off guard, but a yawn doesn't mean 'i eat u', right? She can feel her herbivore teeth from the inside, they are not like his sharps. Head angle... ooh. Interesting. His mouth looks the same up top! J12 TBB14 'Scary' sights 14 [29 0/5 0/10 17/20]

Before she gets the idea to put her nose IN HIS MOUTH, Skylos closes his jaws, masking his yawn into his arm. His legs are regaining feeling. Like sitting on a pincushion of pins and needles. The pricks in his pawlms are prickling. Nothing to remove though, just pricked. The field around them seems to darken, the light ball just hovering there. giving off a gentle glow of light as it got darker. Was it nightfall? he wasn't blinking... Kouveli doesn't leave his side but isn't putting her face in the predator cat's mouth. She's not stupid. But the noticable lack of light feels like a giant burrow on the inside. but inside of walls of dirt, it is walls of not dirt. Looking up, she can see the faint prickles of light. Like outside above the trees. She sneezes a few times in a row, shaking herself to flatten out her puffed frame. Kind of cold still. But she's not afraid for her own, or his own, life right now. Thats a good thing. J13 TBB15 Scary Sights 15 - end [29 0/5 0/10 18/20]

His arm reaches over her back briefly as the cat struggles to put weight on his limbs. The weight increases some as he tries to leverage himself into standing. He's still shorter then her up on tip toes. The galabex stiffens at the increase of weight on her back but holds still as he moves on her side ot stand on his own again. Good cat predator. Standing is the first step of life. Granted, bunnies don't learn how to walk till later, but jackalope are more like deer, they have to stand to feed. Mother feeds doesn't usually happen laying down like a dog does, or a predator. His purr hasn't stopped as he releases her and stands up, audible cracks and pops of being in one position so long. Ugh, he's not even OLD. The prickle in the back of his head hasn't stopped even when the cold drift is gone, but its not nearly as 'there' as it was. J14 TBB16 [29 0/5 0/10 19/20]

/I would have guessed you'd leave/ he purrs quietly to the galabex as Skylos finds his feet at last. A warm wrapping around his paws at home was exactly what he wants right now. That and a warm fire to relax beside. Because the chill might be fading but being that cold for who knows how long might give him a cold induced cold. The sneezy cough up yuck balls cold inside your body kind that make you feel really bad. He shivers again, and peers beyond the ebony fur of the jackalope between him and the light ball. His eyes are slowly aclimatizing, and there is something down there. The prickle of 'something there', but it isn't strong. Under his arm, theres a gradual vibration... was she purring back at him? Can deer or bunnies purr? ((Fun fact, yes bunnies can purr!)) Her ears sweep upwards slowly in curiosity, listening for anything beyond them. The mote hadn't moved, it almost looks solid.

/Lets get out of this room./ Must be haunted, Skylos says to half himself, half to the galabex. She makes a quiet sound with her thick furred footsteps. A gentle hop forward instead of stepping. Lets avoid those feet... just in case she spooks again and kicks out. The room is no longer frozen by the time they touch the end of the hallway, the walls sweeping upwards into the darkness of a ceiling too high to notice by the humanoid eye. Instead of being warm and homey, felt sort of like that weird metal and glass place some human called a church once. The windows are higher then anyone can see out of. What is the time of day out there? The magic is strong enough to warp time of day, isn't it? Because it BUZZES around them. Opening up into a larger room as he's highly considering finding a fireplace to warm up in front of. J16 TBB18 [30 0/5 0/10 1/20]

For most people, the sight of a firelit living room, warm cheery and bright, it brings good memories. a warmth in the chest that makes someone happy. Large squashy armchairs, and a thick rug in front of a merry crackling fireplace. For skylos, and it might be because he grew up very poor where a firelit livingroom was cuddling with his mother as a kitten in front of a hot stove, he feels a sting of resentment. fine upper class living; wood burning stoves that open and give heat willingly, instead of being forced to belch out heat and smoke. Whatever this magic laden house burned for logs, had a very perfumey scent. Like burning apple logs, or oak. Oak had a smoky smell to it. Maybe thats why food is cooked with oak. Humans liked their food smoky. Kouveli doesn't know finer living, but she does know a good warm den when she finds one. Cautious, she leans forward through the doorway, ears raised, sniffing. Anything here? J17 TBB19[30 0/5 0/10 2/20]

urf. Urrrrgh. Noises. The galabex freezes in place, ears satelliting to find the source of the noise. She's not taller the mammalian, but can certainly smell and hear better. It smells... like fire. The prey instincts scream at once. Fire bad. Fire run. The mammalian behind her has not run. His face is pinched in an odd way. Something moves in the corner of her eyesight, and the galabex's head snaps that direction. A... glowing orb rolls on the carpet into view. The urf. urrrrgh. noise is heard again. The sound of something heavy shuffling. And a bear the size of Kouveli's hind foot lumbers into view. It is SMALL, retaining the same glowing effect as the orb before it. Similar to the yellow one that... she can see it clinging to the mammalian's tail behind him. Has he not seen that? The theres no other thought of it, baby bear swats the mote of light with a glowing blue paw. J18 TBB20[30 0/5 0/10 3/20]
