IC "Okay...well yeah, she shot me, I've still got the scars from three bullets, they're pretty cool, but she wasn't aiming for me," Norman was quick to defend, despite everything that had happened still feeling like the one to blame for hurting her and he was...it was a steady reminder that he was just as terrible as she had been. "She was aiming at Niko and I jumped in the way to save him, doesn't matter that I almost died, or that I was out for a few days, I saved my brother, so...all worth it," he explained quickly.
-
"I'd like to think she was..." Alistair agreed, having only a few potent memories of her, which made it very clear to him that he, at one point, had purposely blocked out the memories as a coping mechanism because he didn't just forget things. He was just glad he knew her name, and that weird handshake thing, that and only a few very vague memories were the only things he had to go off of with her. "Your turn," he told the wolf after a few seconds of silence.

Nathaniel gave his squirrel a hug- it made sense why he didn't want to tell the snow cat now. Nathaniel was ready to kill Hazel again. How- How could she even think about hurting one of Norman's brothers in general, couldn't she have just accepted she had been beat?

IC Norman melted into the hug and buried himself into the snow leopard...when he had meant a Wings story, he was thinking...game night, or the whole ordeal with Jasmine or Alistair, something more humorous...not this emotional wreck. Now he felt himself close to breaking again just because of the hug and reliving that night...Ives had been totally right, he was emotional. "Sorry I didn't tell you earlier," he managed to get out quietly.

Great, now he had to top it. And since they were down this deep, meaningful road with no end in sight, he decided it was appropriate to bring that one thing up. The one bloody thing. The parents thing. He swallowed nervously and hid the gesture by tucking his head under the fox's chin. "I haven't spoken to my parents in ah. Three years now. Four in a couple months."

IC Having not remembered his parents in the slightest, Alistair had always sort of envied those that had them, however he knew some family relationships could be hard. "...Would it be okay if I asked why? If not, that's okay," he told the wolf soothingly as he brought a hand up to pet Shafer's hair. He felt bad for him, whatever had made it so he hadn't spoken to his parents must have been pretty bad, already made Alistair a bit upset that he couldn't have been there, though he was a bit curious on the matter too.

"Don't worry Squirrel-y, I understand why you didn't. I'm sorry for getting angry when you didn't tell me," he said lightly.
Meanwhile, Lady still looked on in curiosity. Ah. She had heard Michael mention it once, and on how he was glad he had no need to worry about that anymore- though he had heard of the deaths there. He didn't seem to care, perhaps a little annoyed he didn't know directly who died. Though, he believed he sent Buibui and Cero to try and figure out whose bodies were left after the wreck. Luckily, they got a few people down.

IC Norman stayed like that, definitely not ready to face the others. Luckily he wasn't like...crying or anything, Ives-and even Thaddeus had seen him do that enough for awhile, but he was a bit emotional. "Thank you...for understanding, I don't know what I'd do without my Snow Kitty," he told him.

He lightly kissed the hybrid's hair, "I don't know what I would do without you either, Squirrel-y." He was glad to be here at least.

(Back now!)
Mav blinked and took a deep breath. "Ahkay then." He said as he looked in to her. Taking a breath, he straightened up and and turned around to look behind him. "Anyway, I should probably get back home." He suggested and looked back over with a smile. "That was fun." He remarked.

IC After a few more seconds of staying like that, Norman pulled away from the hug and smiled up at Nathaniel for a second before he focused back on his friend group. "Anyways...guess that counts as a story, someone else want to go?" He asked with a slight smile in hopes of changing the topic.

"When my brother came to pick me up when I was fourteen--" Shafer started before cutting himself off with a small choke of laughter. "And I don't know how he knew, by the way. He'd been gone for the better part of five years and the day I'd decided I didn't want to go on any longer was the day he showed up out of thin air pretty much and kidnapped me. But we were on our way out of the house and my parents were not happy about it. My mother's face was red. And I mean red, like there was no barrier between her blood and the world. And she was throwing dishes and stuff and swearing that we wouldn't be her children if we stepped out that door." He cringed at the memory and buried his face into Alistair's chest, voice muffled when he spoke again. "So we stepped out that door and moved here and I haven't contacted them since."

"I can," Nathaniel offered. It was a sillier story- that involved his sister and 'brother.' Which happened to be the first adventure they went on when arriving at the city.

IC Alistair quickly enveloped Shafer into a hug, basically lifting him up onto his lap as he buried his face into Shafer's hair. "I'm sorry, that sounds horrible," he said, genuinely sorry, it actually physically hurt to think that Shafer had to have gone through that. Alistair could do his best to protect Shafer from anything, however if he had to be honest with himself, the one thing he couldn't protect him from was the past. There wasn't anything he could do about what had happened.

IC Norman was more than happy to pass the story torch to someone else and nodded to Nathaniel, ready to hear what story his boyfriend had to share with the group.

Shafer squeaked softly as he was dragged into the other boy's lap, but accepted it nonetheless. He gave a fond smile even if the fox couldn't see his face. "It's fine, I'm over it. The only family member I care about at this point is Sasha, and he's around for the most part. And now I have you!" He tilted his head back and gave a brilliant smile with all the optimism he could muster. "Your turn."

"Well, so I lived most of my 'childhood,'" He looked to Shiva pretty much figuring she knew what he meant. His childhood hadn't been that long really. "In a giant forest-cage thing with my adoptive parents. And so, my twin and my younger brother- he was barely my younger brother by a few months, like three I think, and we ended up in the city,"

IC Alistair looked at him for a second as he gave that bright smile and gave him a kiss before lifting his head back up. "And you'll always have me, unless...I die, there isn't much I can do after that point," he explained before he thought of something he could share, there were a few possiblities, however he just wasn't sure what he could actually share, more labs stuff? Things about the fox gang? Or Wings? Those were his options. "The reason I finally escaped from the labs, was because a scientist had given me something...that well, changed me from just a rabbit hybrid, to a fox one as well, he said it would either work or I would die, so I think...if I'm remembering clearly, Abrial broke us out that night to get me out of there before they could do anything else. I don't remember the escape very well, but I remember the transformation very well," he explained as he leaned back on the sofa.

IC The cage, that's right...Norman sort of wondered if Nathaniel remembered much about it or not, he was luckily not apart of the war...or at least Norman didn't remember he or Nadia and Kamron there, and he wasn't on both sides. Wow...that always put things into perspective, his boyfriend was his age...yet nothing but a baby during their time at the cage...best not to think that much of it. So instead he glanced over to see everyone listening and put his focus into the story.

"So, my brother had the marvelous idea to steal something from a shop, my sister completely disagreed and voted we find our mom- who we had run off from at the time-" He paused. He hadn't seen Ceci in such a long time. He wondered what had happen to his false mother... "But despite my sister being stronger than the both of us, we went off to steal from a.... weapons shop."

Shafer rose both eyebrows in something akin to shock when the boy spoke. Die? He hadn't even considered that being a possibility yet. That was a really gross thought. He shifted himself a bit closer and furrowed his brow with a shake of his head. "Uhh. Please don't die." He reached down to toy with the other boy's tail absentmindedly, bringing the fur through his fingers and admiring the colour. "My entire family was played with by the government. I mean, I assume it was the government. I'm not sure how or why, I've never asked. And I honestly don't want to know. I've had my traits for as long as I can remember and I'm happy with them." He gave a firm nod and a small lash of his tail. "What was the transformation like?"

IC Norman smiled slightly, he remembered this...Ty had insisted they follow them, Nadia got shot, Ty flirting with someone, Norman found the three all very annoying, oh and he whacked some guy with a bat, fun stuff.
-
Alistair grimanced slightly as he remembered the transformation, he had been asleep for the rabbit one, but the fox... "It felt like my insides were burning, like someone took a they were demolishing my insides, tearing everything apart and rebuilding it all," Alistair explained. "It changed how I thought, my instincts, my inside and outside appearance, and without the fox gang, I would never have been able to adjust to being part fox. You know, I looked a lot different back then, my ears were down all the time, they were longer and white with orange spots, I didn't have this fluffy fox tail-" he moved the fox tail up and down. "Instead I had this fluffy, white rabbit tail...like cartoonishly rabbit fluffy...I have a picture actually," he added, he had remembered the scientist taking a picture when he was around twelve and he asked for a copy, kept it with him since then.

"I was the only one without a weapon I believe, since I could transform into a weapon. But my sister grabbed a sword- which I later ended up having for a while of time, different more depressing story though, and Kamron took a bow and some arrows. There was a creepy guy in the shop afterwards- Kamron shot somebody with his arrow, and we ended up leaving the vicinity quickly." Nathaniel took in a deep breath before continuing. "So, Norman and his brother Ty actually stumbled across us- I don't remember how that happened exactly, but I can say for sure me and Norman were not even close to be friends. We escaped them and then..."

IC "Then you came with us to...wherever we were staying at the time," Norman finished with a small smile. "Ty was worried about you guys, so we followed you-" Norman extremely reluctantly but they didn't need to be said. "I helped Nadia with her injury," he added, remembering that though some of the memories were honestly a little foggy at that point.

"Ah yes, but you skipped the part where we went to Starbucks to hide- some guys came in and Kamron went batsh-- on them with his bow and arrows, my twin got shot and you forced us to go to- uh, it was a human woman's house, but me and Kam didn't want to be there. But Nadia liked it- and she was the mother of one of you- well, one of the other brothers. It was fun. Despite my twin getting shot."

IC "Right...Kiana was Kai's mom, it was fun, I got to hit someone with a bat...actually got him pretty good for being physically weak," Norman muttered, he knew he was weak, that was honestly no surprise to anyone...however he did tend to have some purely random bursts of actual strength, he was chalking that up to his unusual eating habits, the fact that he could literally eat whatever and was still at 100lbs, that he didn't tire easily and healed way quicker than the average person. He was weird in little ways...ways he didn't understand yet.

Maverick just nodded to her. "Yeah I should be fine." He said with a blink. He'd walked longish distances before, so this shouldn't be much different should it? "So, see you at school then." He said.
