Niq watched her walk away in silence. He wanted to know so much more, but in a library wasn't the place and it certainly wasn't the time. He has all these questions but didn't know which one to ask first. Or when to ask. "Good god." He spoke under his breath, shaking his head in disbelief.

( I like rping with you too c: I wouldn't really worry about dropping the rp since getting around writers blocks isn't too hard. We could skip a couple weeks and have them kind of be official friends? Maybe have them hang out, perhaps Isolde meets Niq's sister and kind of help out to show her the ropes? )

Yeah sure!)
Niq was sitting on the plush grass that filled the towns biggest park. He was leaning against a tree, inhaling the beautiful spring air as he zoned off into space every once in awhile. He was there with Isolde, but they had gotten to a point in their friendship where he felt comfortable in their silence. It was nice to know someone was there even if they didn't have to converse 24/7. It was days like these Niq valued the most. Stress relievers are what he considered them. He sighed softly and glanced over at Isolde, "I love this place sometimes." He spoke softly. Although the big idea of him being a shifter had been revealed to Isolde, he still had barely told her anything about himself. But, he liked that she didn't constantly question him, and he vice versa. Maybe that was ruining his future chances with her, but he figured she enjoyed their current relationship as much as he did. They had grown closer within the past few weeks, but they still seemed so far.

Isolde was sitting close by ripping up long strands of grass, dandelions and just about any other flower she could find that the park hadn't planted and was carefully weaving them into a crown. Coming to the park with Niq was nice, he was a friend and it was a good chance to avoid the chaos of college and random humans that knew her but she had no clue who they were. Also it got her away from Annie who was setting her up on anywhere from one to three dates per weekend, with guys she didn't care to know. Looking up at Niq with an amused smirk when he spoke and pulled her from her thoughts. "Only sometimes? Well that's disappointing." She teased with a grin. Her light hazel gaze moving back down to the almost finished crown, carefully weaving it all together before putting it on her head. "Ta-da! It's finished." She announced with mock pride. Standing up and stretching before looking around. Isolde quickly spotted a nearby tree that was ideal for climbing. "If you'll excuse me I have a tree to scale." Running off to the tree, and easily climbing up about 10 feet with speed only a shifter could have -crown and all- before perching on a thick branch and looking back to where Niq was.
( They're cute cx )

( they really are omg )
Niq smirked at Isolde's teaseful remark. As she finished her crown, he smiled brightly at the girl. Man is she beautiful...he thought, watching as she climbed up the tree like the true shifter she was...and adventurous. He chuckled to himself and gave her a little wave as she looked back at him. "Stay there!" He called out, pulling the phone out of his pocket so he could take a few pictures. Niq took multiple; small differences in each, but enough to tell them apart. He knew the both of them hated pictures as much as the next shifter, but he simply couldn't resist. Photos like these came out better anyway. As he looked through them, he grinned, "Beautiful!" He spoke loud enough so she could hear. A few of the pictures, her eyes were closed, which obviously hid the retinal flare.

( I ship it of course )
Isolde watched Niq and started laughing while he took the pictures, jokingly flipping her long, black hair with an unfading grin. "You better let me edit those!" She called back, if he didn't she'd steal his phone and delete them; easy as that. But as a shifter he had to understand the picture thing. Staying still for a couple seconds before climbing off of the branch and further up the tree. Thankfully it was a old, stable tree that could easily support her. Isolde lacked a fear of heights and falling which surprisingly made her more cautious since if she fell humans would be freaking out. Finally she stopped about half way up the massive tree. "Can you see me?" She shouted through the leaves and branches down at Niq who she could see.

Niq laughed, "Sure thing," He smiled as he watched her climb even further up the tree. "I can see the leaves moving but can't see you!" He replied, watching the area she was at in the tree without being able to see her. He stayed where he was at, continuing to smile as he waited to see her face again. Niq ran his fingers through his auburn curls as he waited, "Am I gonna have to come join you up there?" He teased, shaking his head in amusement. It was always a fun time when he was with her.

Isolde chuckled, grabbing some nearby branches and violently shook them to make the leaves move more. Sticking her arm out into the open and waving. Climbing was a lot of fun as long as nothing broke, and it was a nice day so she was going to take advantage of it. "If you want!" She called back, having never actually seen him climb a tree so it would be interesting to watch. "That is if you aren't scared of heights." She teased loudly.

Niq expressed a loud 'pffftt' sound, "As if the 6'5" ginger is scared of heights." He smirked, hopping up and trotting towards the tree. Just as he was about to climb upwards, his phone started ringing. After setting a specific ringtone for his little sister, he always knew who was calling. Niq mumbled a few words under his breath before pulling out his phone and answering it, "Yes, gorgeous?" Almost as soon as he spoke, screaming erupted from the other line. Niq's eyes widened as he took a few steps away from the tree, "Olivia, what's wrong?" His playful vibe turned completely serious as he ran his hand nervously through his hair. The sounds from his phone were muffled, but it certainly didn't sound English. Lots of sobs and screams were heard, causing Niq to subconsciously pace.

Isolde was smirking as he began to approach the tree, the smirk quickly changed into a frown as she watched Niq stop when his phone rang and stepped back. She couldn't hear what was going on but judging from his body language something was clearly wrong. Narrowing her eyes before carefully beginning to climb back down so she could find out, sliding down the last 12' before silently resuming watching Niq from the base of the tree.

Instead of attempting to get English out of his sister's sobs and mumbles, he simply stated, "I'll be there as soon as possible." Niq discontinued the phone call and looked at Isolde, "I'm sorry, my sister's in trouble. You can come if you want, but I don't want to force you." He spoke quietly. All color had drained from his face; you could physically see how worried he was. Niq's amusement had completely expired, and he just couldn't help but overthink the entire situation. He was internally freaking out about what he would come home to.

Isolde narrowed her eyes at what Niq told her, he seemed worried so as a friend that made her worried about whatever the situation was. "Isn't she a shifter?" She asked carefully. Walking over and gently putting her hand on his shoulder in a supportive way. "I think I'll come along because you look like you've just seen a ghost." She decided, noticing how pale he suddenly looked. Whatever was going on couldn't be good.

"She hasn't shifted yet, I've been slowly working my way up to it." He spoke quietly, pulling out his car keys as they headed towards his car. Niq had never been this scared and vulnerable around someone, especially Isolde. He hadn't really opened up to her, and the feeling of comfort he had around him was something he's never really experienced before. "I overthink too much." He randomly responded as they walked. It was his effort of covering up why it looked like he had just seen a ghost. Although, him mentioning something personal about him made him bite his lip in question. Why did he feel this way?

Isolde silently listened as they walked, discarding her flower crown on a bush. "If you say so, but your family comes first so it's okay to be worried." She pointed out. She had really opened up to Niq either since she was introverted shifter that normally kept everything a secret out of habit. But Isolde didn't want him to feel like he had to cover up his concern for his sister, it was normal. "How old is she?" She asked curiously.

( sorry i've been so poofy! i started school today so i'm gonna try and post as much as possible. )
Eventually, Niq and Isolde had walked close enough to his car for him to unlock it. He seemed so out of it, his mind continuously thinking of all the possible situations they could walk in on. "She's 12." Niq responded, opening his car door and stepping inside. Luckily, his parents house wasn't far from where they currently were. In fact, the idea of how close they were was the only thing holding him together.

( It's fine! I totally understand c: )
Isolde nodded in acknowledgement, then opened the passenger door and climbed into Niq's car. Swiftly buckled the seat belt out of habit. 12 years old? That was how old her brother was when her family found out that he was a shifter, in all truthfulness being a young shifter sucked. But she was hopeful that Niq's sister would be okay for the most part.
( Sorry short post x.x )

Niq started driving once everything was set up. He wanted to get there as fast as possible, all while driving responsibly. It took about 5 minutes to get to the place, in a silent, eerie car ride. As soon as he had parked and turned off his car, Niq got out and raced inside. It wasn't that he was being inconsiderate towards Isolde, he was just extremely scared about what he might face within the next minute or two. When he entered the house, he could instantly here Olivia crying, and his family's dog barking. The noises came from her room, so he rushed there. What he saw was horrific, and because he hadn't really been around lots of shifters, he had yet to experience a situation. It was almost like she had shedded most her skin. Unlike him, it looked as if her shifting process took longer than just a few seconds.
"NIQ!" Olivia yelled out, making sure not to move because the pain was so excruciating. She refused to continue shifting, because the process was so painful. She had disregarded Niq's comments and just wanted to try it out for herself. She was beginning to regret that idea. Unknowingly, Olivia's attempt to stop the process was more painful than the process itself. If only she was more experienced, she'd know that the pain would be over soon if she continued shifting.
( you're fine! c: )

Isolde silently sat in the car for a few moments once Niq shut it off and jumped out, while she had decided to come along it would probably be best for him to go in and try to sort things out first with his little sister since she was technically a stranger. After perhaps two minutes she finally got out of the car and quietly made her way to the house, letting herself in and wincing at the noise.
( Oh good cx )

Niq had learned a lot from his grandparents, but they never told him that there are shifters that literally shed their skin in order to shift. He had yet to see what was currently happening in front of his eyes. He didn't touch her, but made sure to stay close. "You have to just let it happen." He spoke loud enough for Olivia to hear through the loud barking and sobbing.
"I can't, I can't it hurts too much." Olivia cried out, shaking her head the slightest as she entered the fetal position, letting out a loud scream as she did so. "Why is this happening to me!" She sobbed, not looking directly at Niq.

Isolde gently closed the door, no wonder Niq had been freaking out with all the screaming and crying. Goosebumps forming on her arms as she followed the noise to see what was up even though it probably wasn't her place, but even in this situation curiosity won her over. Finally stopping when she reached the room where Niq and his sister was. Her eyes narrowing in concern, that had to be painful both being stuck mid shift and shedding your skin, thankfully the latter was something that had never happened to her but had witnessed more then once.
( I'm trying to figure out how to have Isolde be helpful and it's not working cx )

( you're totally fine, that's me in any situation similar to that xD )
Niq got in a position so that he could look Olivia in the eyes, "Do it!" He furrowed his eyebrows as he shook his head, seeing her like this was killing him inside. He just wished she had done it with him there. He would've been more useful if she had done so. As Olivia finally listened to Niq, you could see her body fully morphing into somebody else. What was left was skin, hair, anything you could imagine. It wasn't the prettiest sight, but once she finished the process, it was easier to look at Olivia.
"I don't ever want to do that again," She spoke quietly, sitting up and wiping away the tears. Olivia had shifted into one of her classmates. She figured choosing another girl that she knew would be easy. Little did she know, the process was horrific. "I thought it would be a few seconds like you, Niq."

Isolde watched for a couple seconds before taking a step away from the door back into the hall when Olivia began to shift. Where she could still hear them but not watch as it really was a horrific sight to see, and skin shedding was nasty. She felt really bad for the poor girl it had to excruciating.
( it's me in any situation cx )
