*Blinks at Gharn not liking the cake, and looks at it*
...
*Thinks of where it went wrong*

~

*Amelia groggily gets up off of Onyx, and steps on his head*
*Hisses*

*Leo blasts fire at Onyx/Amy*

*She breaths a continues stream of fire as she slowly walks towards them*

*Gharn puts the cake aside and looks at Izriel*
Gharn: Please don't worry. I just did not like it. I do not think you would like the things I eat.
*Smiles*


*Onyx lifts himself up and groans, then howls as he's burned and takes off into the woods*


*Scatty is lying down, breathing quickly and shallowly*

*Rita frowns slightly at Gharn.*
Rita: It's pretty good Gharn.. do you really only eat meats?
*She smiles at Izriel, then looks down.*
Rita: It is good... Izriel.. thank you.

[Perron starts laughing maniacally inside his office] [Puts his hands over his mouth and cannot stop] [Looks horrified]

*Blinks again*
...
*Walks over to the fridge and gets Gharn a leg of raw lamb, then looks at the ground*
...I am sorry...
*Doesn't notice Rita's smile, and continues looking at the ground*
...Thanks...

~

*Amelia screams as she's burnt from behind, her clothes basically fusing to her skin under all the heat*
*Falls to the ground and stops screaming*

*Gharn shrugs*
Gharn: I have never known another option. So, I have always eaten and enjoyed it. The rabbits here for example are delicious.
*Licks his lips at the thought then looks up at Izriel and smiles as he takes the meat*
Gharn: Don't be, you do not like the things I do. We all have different likes and dislikes. Thank you, I'm sure the cake is delicious to humani, but just not me.
*Tears a hunk of meat off*


*Scatty doesn't see what happens to Amelia but hears the scream*
Scatty: Amy!
*Gets up and grunts as he broken ribs grind inside her chest and a second one punctures her lung*


*Iris looks over sharply at Perron's office, walks over to it and knocks on the door*
Iris: Hello? Are you okay in there?

*Leo roars triumphantly*

*She walks up to Amy and sniffs her burnt body*

*Licks her back then opens her mouth*

*Rita frowns at Izriels tone, and lightly pokes her shoulder.*
Rita: Hey... it was good... really good. Gharn just eats meat.
*She debates on grabbing her shoulder, but instead lightly pokes her shoulder again.*
Rita: Thank you.

*Continues looking at the ground and feels dumb at not remembering Gharn is a carnivore*
...Okay, thank you...
*Sighs, and eventually looks up at Gharn*
I...Think I want to sleep alone tonight, if that's not too much to ask...
*Glances at Rita, then back to the floor*
*Stiffens at the poke, then smiles slightly*
Okay...Thank you...Honest thank you, this time.

~

*Amelia winces at the tongue, but other than that, doesn't move*

*Gharn frowns*
Gharn: Why would it be too much to ask? We have never slept together.
*Doesn't know the other meaning of the phrase*
Gharn: Are you alright Izriel?


*Scatty looks on in shock at Leo and Amy*
Scatty: LEO! STOP!

[Perron answers the door still laughing hysterically and looking terrified] Th-there's something h-horrible happening...
[Can barely breathe from laughing but grips the doorframe]

[Benny stirs very uneasily in his sleep]

*Iris immediately moves to help Perron in some way*
Iris: Horrible? What do you mean!?

*Rita nods, looking at the ground.*
Rita: Yeah of course! There is nothing wrong with that.
*She gulps, debates on saying something, but just stares at the floor.*
Rita: Have a good rest...Izriel.
*Rita walks away, looking ashamed.*

*Leo flinches then turns to Scatty*

*Growls and charges her*

[Perron's wide-eyed with horror and trying desperately to fight the laughing] ...Suh-someone's being h-hurt. And it's am-amazing... H-hell's teeth, it's bad...
[Sinks down in a barely-controlled collapse with his back against the door frame] [Puts hands to head and stares straight ahead]

*Nods at Gharn, and shakes head*
Everything is just right...Thank you...
*Watches Rita walk off, then walks off to room*
*Gets under the covers and just shivers with excitement and fear/unease*

*Gharn nods to Izriel and watches Rita go off, frowning. He gets up and follows her*
Gharn: Rita? Please, tell me what is wrong.


*Scatty looks shocked and maybe a little afraid as she staggers back a few paces then grunts and holds her side again*
Scatty: Leo! Please!


*Iris kneels down next to him*
Iris: Who is it? Who is being hurt?!

[Perron shakes his head and begins sweating visibly, whilst going paler than usual] I- I don't... Know. Wh-who isn't here?
[Puts his head in his arms and rests them on his knees, the laughing gradually fades to quiet sobbing]
...Why did I like it?

*Rita walks to her usual couch, and lays down on the couch.*
Rita: Nothing is wrong, Gharn... I am fine.
*She pulls the blanket on top of her, and settles into the couch.*
Rita: Everything is good... at least I think it is.
*Rita thinks.*

*Iris wraps her arms around Perron trying to comfort him*
Iris: I don't know, there are many who I don't know where they are. Are you sure you don't have any idea!?


*Gharn frowns angrily, feeling lied to again*
Gharn: Very well then... I'm going to bed. Goodnight.
*Walks off to his room and crawls into bed*


*Amy, Leo and Scatty are stasis bombed because I'm sorry but need to sleep*

*Leo grabs Scatty and roars in her face before tossing her to the side*

*Leo lets out another roar and walks off eyes still blood red*

*Scatty hits a tree and slides down unconscious*

[Perron shakes gently] I felt a few places where strong emotions were coming from... I don't know.. I'm so sorry.

*Remains in bed, and flicks on the T.V.*
*Watches some Fox8 for no apparent reason*

~

*Amelia is unconscious on the ground where she was left*

*Leo stomps off after Onyx*

*Her eyes turn orange while she's looking for him*

*Rita watches Gharn go, and sighs.*
*She lays on the couch, closes her eyes, and shivers.*
*Rita doesn't sleep, just sits there.*

*space wolves happily finish loading the armour and book a ship from fenris to collect the armour and hardware that's been sent off for repair*

*all celebrate is traditional ale style*

...

*Marla and Maria are enjoying breakfast watching the clouds pass over chatting under a porch*

...

*marilania swimming in a large pool and remembering the luxury in comparison the Martian ships are compared to libiary with its marble clad spa*

*Leo stomps around the forest after loosing Onyx's trail*

*She roars and stalks around for some food*

*She ends up chowing down on a kelbi*

*patroling space wolf on a wall sees a silhouette of the birds rising against sun in distense and shrugs it off as Forrest gak*

*voxs Agmar a update with nothing to report and carris on loop of the rooms perimeter that comes up boring as normal *
