Akuryo continued on, not exactly running he kept turning to look back, lightly leaping and bouncing on the tree’s never touching down for long. He wanted Her to catch him. His hair flying in the wind almost hid his eyes completely but the yellow in them shown through. To some he could look like a wild animal, fox-like even. What fox can fly? he thought, turning around again. The girl wasn’t in sight yet. how boring…he frowned then closed his eyes to sense her, as he leaped off another tree. BELOW! his eyes flew open and he grinned as she shouted
"Hand over the egg," from directly below him Wow she’s fast he thought mildly surprised. "What a man you are, running away from a girl. Where is your pride?" Akuryo was about to retort when the girl jumped suddenly, kicking off a tree and threw out her hands attempting to grab his feet. Akuryo jumped higher, bouncing off another tree branch. How? She almost caught me? he frowned. It was irritating, but also exciting, this girl.
He tossed the egg to Trix who juggled with it a bit, then grinned at the girl.
“You said hand it over you didn’t say to who” he grinned, widely laughing again as Trix vanished with the egg. Akuryo wondered what more this girl could do, but another part of him wondered. Why is this egg so important to her, why is she trying so hard to get just one egg? It made him think.
Remembering her earlier words
- "Get away from that egg!" she yelled with a voice that was on the verge of a scream. "Do you think its alright to play with other people's emotions? Do you even know what it feels like to be alone? Nobody should ever feel that way! Not you, not me, and dammit, not even that egg!"
And what was it the egg was saying oh yeah
“No one likes me….” It cried “they always leave me out of their games”
Being left out…. Akuryo knew exactly what that felt like. Soo caught up on that fact he was completely unguarded when Trix threw the egg back to him as had been planned. He dived but missed the egg slipped through his fingers and sped towards the ground. Akuryo’s eyes grew wide unsure if he should go after it as the eggs words echoed in his head.
