Sorai muttered something under his breath, eyes opening as Ryo was pulled up. He yawned, flashing his sharp teeth as he sat up, ears twitching as he wrapped his tail around his waist. He looked sleepily up at Darius, tilting his head to the side as he blinked his dark eyes. "Wha's goi' on?" he slurred groggily. Then his sense of smell kicked in and his ears perked up, a soft growl forming in his throat. "Another cat? And..." he paused, grimacing.

"Wonderful," he sighed, standing up to stretch. "A wolf, too?" he muttered, rubbing his eyes. He'd met an okami-mimi only once before and she had been a real b*tch, no pun intended. He figured that wolves were naturally all grumpy since they were wilder than the inumimis. Sorai was more like a pet than anything, while wolves had to do everything on their own. And they usually lived in packs, save a few loners now and then. "Oh well... Nothing I can do about it," he mumbled.

((Yeah. You move anything near a dog and they'll wake up. -nodnod-

Especially if it's something that was against them.))

((I had a really nice post here, but I pushed backspace on accident and it erased. ;3;

Basically, Sorai woke up and was all sleepy. When his sense of smell kicked in, he smelled the neko and the okami and grumbled about the okami. .3.

And dogs wake up when you move something near them. Especially if it was against them.

And my uncle has Internet, so I'm all good now~ -can go to his house while walking home from school-))

( Rika! *tackles* :3
It's spelled Ookami... D: )

"Mhm," Darius leaned over and ruffled Sorai's hair. "You should meet them. Then, you'd know three other people with ears." He held his hand out for Sorai, blinking.

Ryo's ears flattened against his head, letting out a quiet growl. Sorai was enough, really, and now he had to deal with another canine. This canine being a wild type. Great, he thought. I mean, Sorai's fine and all, but I've never met these two. This cat could be a bi-tch, and the wolf could try an eat me.

"Let's gooo!" Darius whined.

((Nuh-uh! .^.

I lookeded it up. e.o))

Sorai yawned again, standing up to stretch himself out with a sigh. He looked at Darius and huffed softly, tail twitching back and forth. "As long as the wolf isn't one of those territorial, 'I'll-kill-you-if-you-touch-me' kind of wolf," he muttered, ears swiveling as he looked over at Ryo. "if you keep the cat from attacking me, I'll keep the wolf from eating you," he told him. He hated getting scratched by a cat. It stung for so long.

( So did I. D: )

"Sure, I guess," Ryo shrugged, and Darius grabbed both Ryo's and Sorai's hand.

"Let's go~" Darius chimed, pulling them off the train and towards the small group of people that had developed. "Ash, this is Ryo," He pulled the catboy forward. "and this is Sorai." He pulled him up.

I hate this, I hate this, I hate this. Ryo thought.

Sorai blinked as he was pulled out of the train car, grunting lightly as he was pulled forward to meet the other animal-people. He inclined his head slightly, then shifted his weight, unable to keep from yawning once again. Tired puppy was still tired, but he wouldn't be able to sleep with a wolf around. Not until he was sure he could trust the wild canine.

And, believe it or not, Sorai's trust came slow.

"It's okay, Sorai," Darius led him back to the crates, pulling Ryo behind. He sat down, pulling both Ryo and Sorai to sit beside him. "they can't hurt you if I'm around."

Ryo sighed, leaning over his legs. "I don't like meeting new people, Darius..."

Disk yawned and discovered after her long nap she wasn't sick anymore and sighed with happiness.Getting her stuff she hopped out the door and headed back to circus gothica for some popcorn and to find her cat...and to have a good time.

Bash like he already knew Disk was coming watched as people came in and left.

Darius furrowed his brow. "Okay, then let him gain your trust." he said, rubbing Sorai's ear again. "It might not be easy for him -- or for you, actually -- but eventually you two are going to have to learn to get along." He glanced over at Ryo. "Just like Ryo learned to get along with you~"

Ryo frowned. "I've never had much of a problem with Sorai," he said.

Sorai lened over a bit when his ear was getting rubbed, tail wagging softly. "And Ryo is one of the few felines I like. Only reason I chase him is for fun," he said, grinning. "I wasn't out to eat him. Chasing him is just...fun!" he brked, grinning. "And as long as the other cat doesn't scratch me, I'll be fine. Cat claws hurt and the scratches sting forever." He frowned lightly before stretching out his arms. "They're just so sharp!"

((I might add a girl. .3.

Not sure what she'll be if she can be in the circus, too. e.o))

( o3o She can be in the circus if you can come up with something. xD )

Darius chuckled. "Cat claws do hurt," he said, petting the top of Ryo's head. "And I never really do worry about you eating Ryo. Ryo can take care of himself -- he's big boy." Ryo's ears flattened against his head.

Sorai chuckled. "He's also very quick on his feet," he said, nodding to reinforce his point. He smiled, then looked over at Ryo, finally deciding to ask a question he's wanted to ask for the longest time.

"Ryo, why does it seem like you don't anyone petting you?" he asked, tilting his head curiously.

Ryo sighed and said, "That's because I don't," he said quietly. "I don't like it because I don't exactly like being treated like a cat. I've got a human body, but woith cat ears and a cat tail. That doesn't mean I can be treated like a cat."

Darius continued to rub Sorai's ears.

((I gotta go in an hour. P:

And I will possibly be on at the library tomottow. o:))

Sorai continued wagging his tail, then blinked at Ryo. "But doesn't it feel good to get a scratch behind the ear every once in a while?" he asked, leaning a bit more into the ear-rubbing Darius was doing. "I really don't mind getting petted. But I end up with a dog foo bowl on the floor, then I'll get a bit miffed..." He shrugged lightly, chuckling. "Must be a dog thing or something," he decided.

Then he thought of something. He swore he had heard Ryo purring before he had completely gone to sleep, the first time Sorai could recall he had ever heard the catboy purring. Odd.
