The boy shakes his head.
"B-badru a-and I-I w-were e-experiments. W-we w-were c-created, b-but n-never g-given n-names. I-I n-named B-badru." he stutters.

"That sucks" Lia says "You need a name too."

"What about Calder?" Xander says, walking up behind Lia and smiling. He sits down as he catches Badru's glare about him walking around when he should be resting.

"Calder sounds nice. What do you guys think?" Lia asks

Badru only nods.

The boy smiles, flapping his wing-arms.
"I-I like t-that." he says, his stuttering improving a small fraction.

"Great! We'll now call you Calder" Lia nods

Calder smiles.

"Why do you live out here, Calder?" Xander asks, cocking his head.

"B-because w-we aren't r-really a-accepted." Calder stutters.

"Spiteful people." Badru growls.

Lia frowns "People are so mean these days... Not accepting people just because they're different"

Xander nods in agreement with Lia.
"They could come with us, couldn't they?" He inquires.

Lia's eyes widen with joy "Yeah!"

Calder smiles happily.
"T-thank you!" He says, morphing to a hawk and perching on Badru's furry violet blue shoulder.

"You're welcome" Lia smiles

"We should head back before the other's start to worry." Xander says. He looks to Lia and holds his hand out to her. "A little help?"

Lia helps Xander up and nods "Yeah, they're probably pretty worried by now"

Xander leans against Lia for support, laying his head a bit against her shoulder as they walk.
"Yeah. Probably."

Calder smiles at Lia, looking at Xander.
"Is he your boyfriend?" he whispers quietly to her.

Lia shakes her head "No, we actually just met not too long ago" Lia whispers back

Calder smiles.
"Do you like him?"

Lia laughs "A little bit"

"He likes you too." Badru says.

"B-badru! Y-ou can't j-just g-go r-reading people's m-minds l-like that!" Calder exclaims.

Lia laughs "He does?"

"Y-yes. Badru c-can read e-emotions and t-thoughts." Calder says.

Badru nods.
"Likes you a lot."

"Really now?" Lia smiles

Calder smiles
"Mmhmm."

Xander looks at Calder and Lia's smile and his face goes red.
"Calder! You didn't tell her I like her did you?! That's so embarrassing because I know she doesn't like me back..."'he frowns, his knees buckling a bit and he falls backwards into Lia's arms.

Lia holds Xander with a laugh "You goof"

Xander looks a Lia. He smiles softly.
"Yeah." he laughs. "And Lia. I do like you. A lot."

Lia blushes "R-really? I kind of like you too.."

OOC: I realized I could tie something from past events with Xander's gruesome scar.

Xander's eyes widen.
"R-really?!"

Lia nods
(bam so interesting)

OOC: Beautiful

Xander smiles.
(This was seriously the only reply I could think of. That's terrible )

The group reach Ada's again, and she smiles at the new guests.
"Welcome." she says.

"Lia, you wanted to meet my ex. Here." Xander says awkwardly, pulling Lia gently to the livingroom.

Jay turns her head at the sound of Xander's voice and sees a girl with blue hair. "Who's this?" She asks

"I'm Lia. You're the one who broke Xander's heart?" Lia asks

Jay furrows her brow and sighs "Yes.. But I do have a name. It's Jay."

Lia rolls her eyes and shrugs, returning her attention to Xander

"Uh..heh. Hi Jay." Xander says in embarrassment.

Serge smiles at his best friend and looks at Jay, giving her a small one armed hug.
"Don't take that too harshly Jay." he says, smiling at her.

OOC: I just realized.. Dude... We're almost to the 50th page!! We're going to need to make a third topic soon!!

Jay leans her head on Serge's shoulder "Alright..." She sighs

OOC: Oh wow! We will!

Serge smiles at Jay.

OOC: Here we go...

Xander looks at Lia.
"Lia. You asked about my scar earlier. Can I trust you with what I'm about to tell you?" he asks.

Jay turns her head to listen to Xander


Lia nods her head "Yeah"

"This scar is...from when I died." Xander shudders.

Jay blinks her eyes as she stands up and exits out of the room in a rush

"From.. when you... died?" Lia asks

Serge tenses at Xander's words and follows after Jay. As he reaches her, he softly takes her hand.
"It's what Xander said, isn't it? It brings back those memories." He says quietly.

Xander nods, watching as both Serge and Jay leave.
"I have died, Lia. I was killed by a bear." He removes the bandana again to show Lia the long scar down his throat again.

"Yeah... And.. Why would he even tell that girl something like that? He just met her and suddenly he tells her everything? How do we know she's not one of the hunters?" Jay says as tears roll down her eyes

"If you were killed then how the heck are you here right now?" Lia asks in shock

"Jay...I know what you mean. I don't know if I trust her yet either." Serge says, looking at Jay. He frowns as he sees her crying. "Come here." He says, pulling her close to him and embracing her in a hug. "I know that was a rough event for you." He whispers softly in her ear.

"Serge. The boy you saw follow Jay. He gave me his life." Xander says, tying the bandana back around his neck.

Jay hugs Serge close as she cries "Why would he even bring that back up.."

".. How?" Lia asks, confused

"He said she asked about his scar." Serge says softly, resting his head against Jay's gently for reassurance.

"I...don't know..." Xander frowns, looking at the ground. He felt bad about bringing this up around Jay and was hoping Lia couldn't tell.

"That doesn't mean he had to tell her..." Jay said sadly

"Oh, I see" Lia said, not noticing Xander's frown

Serge nods.
"I know. But he's already brought it up. We can't stop him." he says.

Xander nods and puts his face in his hands.
"I'm sorry Jay." he cries softly.

"I know.. It's just... there's something about her... I don't like it" Jay says, wiping a tear

"What's wrong?" Lia asks

Serge nods.
"I know. I don't like the vibe coming from her either." he says.

Xander looks at Lia.
"I-it's nothing." he says sadly.

Jay nods
(I'm so creative)

"Are you sure?" Lia asks

()

Serge looks to the livingroom.
"We should try to keep track of her." he says.

Xander nods hesitantly.

"Yeah" Jay says
(10/10 most creativity ever)

"Are you really sure?" Lia asks, placing a hand on Xander's shoulder

(omg yes )

Serge nods and walks into the room, sitting down.

"I've just hurt Jay by bringing this up. She was my girlfriend then, and she was there when I died." Xander says, looking down, tears running down his cheeks.

OOC: Xander baby

Jay follows behind Serge and sits down next to him

"Must've been real hard on her" Lia says

OOC: The poor guy </3
