As I Stand Above Your Grave

[[S]ara]

"As I stand above your grave, I wonder if I could have saved; your life...your soul...your friendly smile." the words blew softly past Alex's lips and into the world of the dead. His hand slid over the rough gravestone that marked a time in history for his old friends.
A silent wind blew through the graveyard, a silent wind but filled with words and screams that peirced through Alex's ears.

Dropping his hand back by his side, Alex kneeled down and read over the grave stone, "Who buried you friend? Certianly no one who knew you, or else they would have put kinder and meaningful words atop your tomb." letting a sigh out and the evenings air in, Alex rested his head againest the stone.

Slowly and quietly he sobbed, his emotions flooding like a river from his heart. "I'm sorry I wasnt here to save you, I'm so sorry my friend." he cried out in a whisper tears dripping from his smooth cheek.

"Regret is for fools."
The voice was low, and gravelly, almost as if the one speaking had smoked heavily all their life.

Out of the mist padded the large, imposing form of a black wolf. Roughly the size of a pony, the wolf's tail and hackles sported crimson highlights, and its amber gaze held a mixture of disdain and sympathy as it regarded the weeping youth.

Slowly padding toward him, the wolf spoke again, "To dwell on things that could've been is the surest way to go mad." Bane eyed the tombstone before turning his fierce glare back to the youth. "We should... honour the past, but never try to relive it..." The wolf's voice took on a faraway tone and it took in a deep breath before letting it out slowly, seemingly mournfully.

RJ was sitting in a tree, surveying the cemetary. In a way he was grateful, but he was mostly sad and empathetic. He had never known these people...and this is why he was a little, tiny bit glad. He wouldn't have been able to deal with the grief of losing them. But so many people...He had looked at a few. They had died around ten years ago, because of the gifted war. A lucky few had left seemingly whole and happy lives. But the others had not. They were all in their teens. Imagine their parents sadness.

RJ noticed the crying boy. Technically, RJ had come to make himself more aware of the government's atrocities. Looking at tombstones was sobering, but not really sombering. Ramiro hopped out of the tree and began to approach the stranger. It would be weird to start off, but Awkwardness and other temporary emotions were Ramiro's specialty. He found if he pushed them away, then soon enough, he wouldn't have to deal with them, as the feelings had passed.

Then the wolf came. RJ wasn't phased...he had seen a talking leopard the other day. And he was barely phased then. Or so he liked to think. He continued, and heard the wolf talking about stuffing away regret. "I disagree," said RJ. "You honour what you are proud of doing. Regret is nature's way of convincing you to do as much as you can. Even if there was nothing you can do...it teaches you to try harder next time."

[[S]ara]

Silently stunned at the wolf's words, Alex lifted his head up and turned to face the creature.
"You have no idea about reliveing the past..." he murmured, his gaze lifting up to the guy that walked towards them.
/I never even noticed teir presense, I'm caught in all this emotion./ shaking away the tears, Alex stood back up and crossed his arms leaning back againest the tomb. "Atually," he corrected, "Your both rite. Sure it is never fun to relive the past, and you should be paying attention to the future, but reliveing the past also makes us emotionaly stronger and understandthe faults. we committed." Alex sighed, glanced up to the nite sky.

/Heh, I would know all about that....reliving...understanding...emotions.../ Alex's hand began to twitch violently, but then they stopped and his right eye seemed to blink more than the other. That was the after effect of his gift.

Kimi and Misa watched quietly, their clasped hands forming a silent bond between the two. They, of course, knew none of the people buried in this cemetary, though they still liked to pay a little respect when coming. Usually it was deserted, this was the first time the twins had ever seen anyone else here. Nonetheless a wolf... Kimi squeezed Misa's hand lightly, suggesting they go and talk to the people, but Misa shook her head, no. Kimi squeezed harder, this time stomping her left foot, and Misa slowly nodded her head.

Hands still clasped, the twins made their way to the grave. Both of them were wearing the same long, grey parka, and grey gloves to go with it, and grey boots. Overall, they were both dressed as mourning, grey children. Totally opposite of how they usually are. Both of them decided to do their hair the same way, a loose ponytail.

Stopping a couple feet away, Kimi and Misa stared unblinkingly at the group, then began interrogating the group, each asking one question after the other, making them sound as if they planned the whole thing.
"What's wrong?"
"Are you mourning for someone here?"
"Were they family?"
"Are you upset?"
"Do you need a hug?"
"Or are you just crazy?"
The twins stood as if they hadn't just spoken, Misa now smiling lightly, while Kimi continued to stare.

[Delerium]

The wolf merely snorted noncomittally in the direction of the youth who had dropped from the tree. He then lay down with his head raised, his cynical gaze on the mourning boy.

Bane's bestial lips then peeled back from his fangs in a cynical sneer. "I have no idea of reliving the past? Ha! What conceit. Typical human... yet another know-it-all. Words of wisdom mean nothing to your kind."
The wolf then yawned and lay his huge head on his paws, seemingly bored with the company and the conversation.
When the twin young ones appeared, Bane felt a stirring in his heart despite himself. However, he wasn't about to show weakness in front of the two males, so the laguz merely cocked an ear and turned his gaze in their direction.

Mira...
Bane couldn't help but wonder if he'd left her alone too long already. The wolf had gone for a short walk, just to gather his thoughts and wonder what he was going to do about his new charge, while she slept. But Mira was unpredictable, to say the least, and Bane didn't want to think of the consequences if she'd awakened while he was gone.
The wolf laguz took in a deep breath and huffed long and loud out his nose.
Humans...

[[S]ara]

"Um..oh hi?" he said to the twins that aprouched him. Alex looked down and then blinked, "Whoa..my eyes hurt, you two are identical?" Alex said warly, then smiled. "Nah not crazy, and yeah several people I knew have passed away." a frown suddenly came over his lips and Alex whipped back around to the wolf, "Hey now shut up! I'm not just any human! I'm a gifted human, and I belive I'd understand living the past more than anyone in the world!" he snapped.

[. : ÷Cakey÷ : .]

RJ was getting a little annoyed. There were too many people. Maybe another night. "Hey, mister Wolf? Sorry, missed your name. Forgive him for getting a little frustrated. It happens to "Humans" sometimes." RJ sighed. It wouldn't help the wolf's attitude, but who knows, maybe he'd never see the wolf again. He looked at his watch. Oh crap. Late already. "Agh! I've gotta go. My curfew is truly symbolic of some kind of opression." RJ began on a sprint home. "Bye everyone."

Halfway there, he tripped and scraped his elbow raw and bloody. He cursed, and then turned feral. Not too bad of a case, but enough to get him home soon. If it didn't, then he'd have an excuse. He began to run, and sprinted much faster than the normal RJ did.

The twins merely glanced at eachother, then spoke in perfect sync, "Of course. We're twins." Misa tilted her head in an amused sort of way, staring at the wolf and smiling. Kimi, instead, rested her gaze on the seemingly crazy boy. When the other boy practically ran away, both twins turned their heads and watched him run before turning back to the wolf and the boy.

"You never told us why you were here." They asked in perfect unison, before unclasping their hands and walking towards the two. Stopping a couple feet away, Misa giggled.
"We'd better be careful not to frighten them!" Misa whispered, but to where the two could still hear her. Kimi giggled and replied,
"Of course! We wouldn't want the big, bad gifted boy to hurt us!"
Both of them went into a fit of giggles, Kimi turning her head and staring up at the boy. Misa mimicked her and stared, before saying:
"Forgive us if we seem rude. My name's Misa-"
"And i'm Kimi. We're sorry for intruding-"
"But the sound of your voice intrigued us-"
"And so here we are!" They both finished in unison.

[[S]ara]

Raising a brow at the twins, Alex shook his head with a smirk, "Amazing, I dont think I've ever met two persons whose emotions and mental being is so intune." he said with amazment. "Nice to meet you Misa, Kimi. I'm Alex Walker." winking, Alex bowed and glanced back over to the guy running off from the scene.

"What are you doing out so late? Shouldnt you be at home, tucked away under the covers?" Alex now crossed his arms and looked down at the michiefvous acting twins with a seriousness.

[Nikkeh [Love]]

"Nice to meet you too." They replied in predicatable unison.
Misa glanced over at Kimi and giggled at the boy's ignorance. Kimi smiled in reply and turned to Alex.
"We don't have a curfew or anything-" Kimi began.
"Our parents let us come out at night to play around in the city-"
"As long as we promise to stay out of trouble-"
"'Cause she knows what we can do..." Misa finished, smothering a giggle with her hands.
Misa looked over at Kimi with a mischevious look in her eyes, and Kimi silently agreed with a quick nod. Misa grinned, then walked and stood on Alex's left, while Kimi moved to stand on his right. Giggling, Misa grabbed Alex's thumb, and Kimi did the same on his other hand. Then, reaching behind Alex, the twins clapped hands with eachother, waiting for Alex's reaction when he felt a strong surge of electricity surgge through him painfully.

[Delerium]

"Hey now shut up! I'm not just any human! I'm a gifted human, and I belive I'd understand living the past more than anyone in the world!"

One of the wolf's ears stood straight up and the other flopped over, his bestial expression a mix of disgust and exasperation. "Do you ever think before you speak? Or do you just have a terminal case of verbal dihorrea? 'More than anyone in the world'? Ha! I'm sure..."
The wolf completely ignored the idiotic spectacle made the by the fleeing figure and turned his attention to the odd twins. There was something... off-putting about them. Bane couldn't quite put his paw on it, but the ethereal senses of a wolf never lied.

"Hmm, Alex, Kimi and Misa... Well, I suppose you can call me Bane," the laguz said with a shrug of its powerful shoulders. Very odd to see a wolf shrug...

His suspicions were justified when they pulled their little prank. And if a wolf could grin, his muzzle would be split from ear to ear. He settled for a snicker and remarked, "I suppose now you feel you know more about electric shock than anyone else in the world?"

[[S]ara]

Raising a brow at the twins suden grip on Alex's thumbs, his eyes shot wide open as he felt the sting of the shock.
"Ouch! Dang you guys are viscious." he snapped, quickly bolting forward away from the twins. Alex threw a glare over at the wolf, "Watch it mutt, I might just decide to make you relive a few distrubing moments or two." he muttered masageing his hands and arms.

[Nikkeh [Love]]

Instead of giggling, the twins burst into full out laughter. They always got the biggest kick from shocking people.
"Aren't we just-" Kimi started.
"Shocking?" Misa finished, swinging her arms and watching as Alex ran from them.
Now turning to face the wolf, Kimi shot a glare at her sister, as if saying, "We're not going to mess with this one. So don't even think about it." Misa replied to this unspoken statement by sticking her tongue out at Kimi.
"It's nice to meet you, Bane." Kimi said, ignoring her sister and staring at the wolf. Misa rolled her eyes and turned to the wolf. "Yes, it's very nice to meet you."
Kimi and Misa now stood identically next to eachother, both expressions neutral as the two observed the company.

Ooc: Ack! Sorry it's so short! Out of creativity juice! XD

[Delerium]

(OOC: Ack! I didn't realize it had been so long O.o Sorry dudes! I'll bow out after this post so you don't have to wait on me ^^; Oy)

Bane yawned at Alex; the universal canine equivilant of a blow off. From what he'd seen of the individuals living in this place, he didn't doubt for a second that this Alex could force him to relive an unpleasant moment or two. He just didn't care; he had always been undaunted by his past, and wasn't about to start reflecting on it now.
As he'd said, regret is for fools, and he meant it, even for himself - especially for himself.

"It's nice to meet you, Bane."
"Yes, it's very nice to meet you."

Bane's tail thumped against the damp earth and his muzzle parted in a lupine smile. They were so cute!
Spirits of the air, earth and sea... when did he develop such a soft spot for children? Certainly when he...

Mira.
He'd most probably been gone too long now.
The wolf's ears pinned back in worry and he stood. "Well, it's been simply smashing dogging around with you all, but some of us have important matters to attend to. Good night, and don't let the twins bite." His laughter followed him as he sprinted out of the graveyard.
