She blinked a few times stunned. "Why...did you come here?" she asked, a scowl on her face. "You really...piss me off you know..."
She didn't know why exactly, but he did. Turning abruptly she stalked down the alleyway.

"Hey wait!" Aiden yelled after her. "If you need it take it! I just wanted out of that horrible prison!" He flung the groceries and the Penins accross the ally and jumped onto the roof.

Slate looked up questioningly, and decided to climb up the wall. Making foot holds when her abilities she scalled the stone wall. Her fingers brushed the edge of the roof, and she tried her hardest not to look down. How she hated heights...
"Aiden," she called softly, hoisting herself upwards. She yelped when she felt some of the roof chip away, arms flailing out involentarily.

Aiden pulled a gust of wind that landed Slate on her belly securly on the roof. "Hey" He said faining that his feelings were intact and that he didn't care. "You should watch out."

"Sorry..." she mumbled, eyes looking downwards. "For losing my temper...and stuff...T-Thanks b-by the way..."
She wasn't good at stuff like this, apologizing and thanking were not her strong suites...

Aiden looked up and sighed heavily. "Pianie and inril's comeing." he said simply. "I'll go home now." He was so obviously fighting tears and as a small strangled sound excaped him he turned away from her. "Attalla probly misses Pianie by now... We've stayed gone three whole says this time." Aiden looked back over his sholder, a single tear snaked down his cheek. "Aunty will be verry angry" He said in a mockingly fasticious voice and a smile just a little too bright.

She deserved it, she knew. The pain that swelled up in her heart was less than what she deserved, hurting his feelings the way she had. She had no words, too afraid to say anything for fear of making it worse, it was her speciality it seemed, to make a mess of things that is...
Standing there she remained silent, even as he said his Aunt would be very angry. The girl didn't want to know what that intelled, but still a little voice in the back of her head urged her to say something, anything.
And you'll only make things worse, go on do it.
The calgor remained silent for once. Regret lingered for the longest moment.

Peoney fluttered onto Aiden's shoulder. "Inrills at the edge of town Aid." she said. "She can't come this far or you'll be cought."
Aiden jumped at the idea that he'd even asked inrill to leave the clifside in the first place. hadn't he been out and into these cities enough to know the danger of discovery? A silent sob escaped fron the boy. one which he covered, badly, with a cough.
"Inril's waiting" he said, turning to slate. "I guess I have to go back to the manner now..." The last was said in a sigh. "good bye then i guess" he mumbled almost incoherent. he started to walk twards the edge of the roof.

Speak now or forever hold your peace, idiot!
Her body moved on it's own, and she grabbed a hold of his shoulder. "Okay wait one second there!" make your voice nicer, for Pete's Sake! "I-erm...Okay why have you left your home for three days straight? I mean it's none of my business, I guess- Y'know what, just tell me."

Aiden looked scared for a secound then smiled sourly. (this was odd because he hardly ever let any sighn of discontent show.) "Aunt nutcase keeps us prisoner." He stated simply. "we sneak out as much as possible." His lips quivered for a sec and he turned away. "Me and Peoney... Ever since i was taken and my family killed." His body shivered as if cold. "Aunt has kept us ever since then... Ever since they took Peoney out..." He sighed and turned back to Slate. "Three days is the longest we've stayed gone. They usually find us first. Aunts probly got the whole central gaurd out serching the city... Attella's probly worried. She's my cousin but i've never actually seen her. Peoney has though. WE send messages through Peopny." He stopped abruptly realizing he was ranting. "sorry..." he mumbled embarrased.

...Wait, what? Confusion was all that showed on Slate's face, of this she was sure. Her brain began to analyze the information she was given, and for a moment the girl didn't know what to say.
"What the hell!?" that was a...start."You mean she keeps you against your will? What the heck?! Can se even do that?" Somehow she knew it probably wasn't as abnormal as she thought, but that didn't diminish her rage any. "That is just-I don't even have a word to describe that! How can she legally do that?!"
That isn't your territory Slate, a voice cautioned a bit too late.
Who the hell cares?! She snarled back at the little voice.

Aiden was shocked. He'd never met anyone who said it was unjust... "Aunt Says i'm a disgrace... That me and peoney and what hapened would ruin her or something... you know..." he paused unsure if he should tell her. He didn't want her to be disgusted like everyone else... "you know everyone thinks being kidnapped and having your spirit animal extracted is a scandlous or dishonerable, but... but... But Peoney's my best friend!!!" Aiden was crying now as he said it all so fast nearly yelling the last part befor bolting to the edge of the roof and vaulting into the ally. too afraid to see how slate would react to his deepest secret.
Peoney peeped and hovered by slate's ear. She snapped her beak, slicing a small cut into it, then flew after aiden. leaving Slate alone on the roof.

Did that stupid bird just-? While she was in shock that the bird was actually Aiden's spirit animal, it didn't much matter to her. So he was separated from his spirit animal, who the hell should care? She sure didn't. Rubbing her ear she growled and took off after him.

Aiden sat at the rear corner of the cluttered ally, crying breathlessly as peoney cuddled againsed his neck anciously preening his rumpled white hair. Aiden had pulled it even more securely over his juged scar. (The never fading reminder of peoney's extraction.) Peoney pulled his hand away any pushed his hair back exposing the mark and brushed her head againsed it. Aiden whimpered and hugged her close.

"Aiden!" She called out, it probably wasn't a good idea, he wasn't going to answer most likely. "Where did you go?!"
She added softly so no prying ears could hear. "It's dangerous. Look you and your spirit animal are separated, so what! Like you could control getting kidnapped and getting your spirit beast extracted!"
