Rocky Sides

Aella blinked some, "What a pleasant topic....What brought that up?" She kept her head turned so she could look at Cynthia.

"I found, well, Ethan found me" She says as though it were nothing, placing her hands on her lap with the palms facing upward

Aella blinked yet again, becoming confused, "Ethan...? Wait....that man who..?" She trailed off and went silent

"Hence the blindness once more" She says, motions to her eyes like it was prize on a game show. She laughs a little

Aella growled slightly and looked to her friend, "I hate that man. He deserves to be there." She pulled her knees up to her chest and placed her chin on them

Cynthia beings her hand up and runs it through Aella's hair. "yes, he does" she smiles feeling the tension high strung through aella. "how have you been, sweetheart?"

Aella was caught off guard by the feel of Cynthia's fingers in her hair, causing her to blink in surprise but then she smiled softly, "I've been well."

"you sound happy, has there been good news?" she asks, her hands still in her hair.

Aella scowled slightly as she closed her eyes and relaxed to the feel of Cynthia's fingers in her hair and said softly, "Not really...Vanessa disappeared..."

"disappeared?" she repeats, with question in her tone. She turns her head as if to look at aella with a wondering expression

Aella nodded, though her eyes remained closed and her voice was calm, "Yeah...I don't know where she went."

"do you know why she disappeared so suddenly?" Cynthia asks, concerned by the undertone of Aella's voice

Aella shook her head, her voice and manner still unfazed, "No, not really. Just haven't seen her anywhere in over a month." She opened her eyes and looked down off the ledge.

"Do you miss her?" She asks, her feet swaying slightly as the breeze picks up. With a slight grin and begins to end herself off of the ledge

Aella shrugged, her voice remaining soft and calm, "I'm not quite sure, actually....sometimes I feel like I do, other times I feel like I don't." She blinked some as she watched Cynthia.

"But isnt she, the one you love?" She asks softly, her bottom almost completely off of the ledge. Cynthia turns her head to Aella to give her a look of questioning

Aella stared at Cynthia, "Why love someone who doesn't love you back...? Obviously she really didn't or she'd still be around." She reached her arm around Cynthia's waist and pulled her back onto the ledge completely.

Cynthia closes her eyes a blushes a bit. "But you do love her." she says putting her hands into her lap

Aella made a tch sound as she took her arm from around Cynthia's waist, "I never said that. Does it really matter?"

"The matters of the heart, matter only to the ones that truely care about the one they have." She says wisely, quoting something she had heard her mother say about her father when she was young.

Aella blinked some at Cynthia's words and looked at her, smiling softly, "What's that mean? That you care?"

Mori walked out onto the rocks, carefully placing each foot on a rock and avoiding the cracks and deep holes that some made. The neko stopped and looked out to the blue waters, music playing from a headset around his neck. He wore black swim trunks and an old gray t-shirt with a faded band logo on the front. Mori pulled out a black book and flipped through the pages distractedly.

New around here and wearing a black school uniform. Akito thought it be a good idea to check around and who knows, maybe see anything to interest him. So the neko walked into here and keeps walking more, looking around then stops seeing another male, maybe a bit younger, he guessed. Standing there, Akito wags his tail a bit around staying quiet for a moment before speaking."Another neko."

Mori steps up onto another rock and sits down, reading the letters that appeared as if someone was writing them. Seeming to have enough information, he closes the small black leather book and puts it back into his messenger bag. His tail twitches and he looks around, feeling someone else there at the rocks.

Akito watches as the other male went into another rock and sits down, he twitched his ears a bit, along with his tail and walks a bit closer to where he is.

Mori flicks his ears higher and he looks up to where the neko had walked up to.
"...Hello."
He says somewhat hesitantly, most people he had met were more outspoken but maybe this one was shy? Also...this guy was probably the first male neko he had met.
