keep it hidden

The young male had completely missed the female's initial nervousness, too wrapped up in his own mind to think about how his words might have effected her. But as the earthen-toned fae slid away from him, giving him an extremely distrustful look, he felt shame seep into his veins. He'd really fucked up. His impulsiveness and challenging attitude were two things he really needed to work on, but never truly thought about it. Nikko frowned, lowering his body to the ground in an attempt to show the fearful she-wolf that he wasn't a threat. "Hey, hey, you ain't gotta be afraid of me. I'm just noisy, don't worry. My bark's worse than my bite." He laughed at his own words, his muzzle splitting in an oddly wide, sincere smile, his eyes reflecting nothing but kindness. Teumesios scoffed in his head. You may not be dangerous, Kit, but I certainly am. And considering that I inhabit this... vessel... it does make you dangerous. Get up, Nikko! Showing weakness to such a fearful creature. She needs to be eliminated. Nikko shook his head, attempting to shake all of the demon's words away, to pretend that he had said nothing - though it was difficult. When the female apologized, the male again shook his head fervently - though this time it was in reply to her words. He jumped up, pouncing in front of her eagerly, bringing his face as close to hers as she'd allow. None of this was meant to be aggressive, the boy just rarely thought about his actions, and he wanted to assure her that she had no reason to apologize. "Nononono! He repeated the word several times so quickly that each syllable merged to form one long stream. "Really, I'm sorry. I mean, you did kinda run into me, but I had no reason to yell! I was just, er, caught off guard." He glanced away briefly, showing a mixture of uncertainty and embarrassment. His duo-toned eyes quickly moved back to her. "Which doesn't normally happen, by the way! I'm usually very on-guard!" The male's chest puffed out with pride as he raised his head. A single word that only he heard caused him to deflate, but only slightly. Liar. Although he was careful not to allow anything but pride show on his features, internally, Nikko wished he could glare at Si. Shut up, stupid demon. Teumesios let out a dark, amused laugh. You've got guts, Kit. If I wasn't stuck here, I'd have ripped that overconfident face right off your skull by now. The fox demon was always harsh, always giving Nikko warnings and threats and declarations of what would happen if he were not in Nikko's body. The male was used to them by now, living with it for nearly three years. He focused again on the earthen-toned female, bringing another friendly grin to his face. "My name is Nikko!" He declared this brightly, not caring that she hadn't asked for it. Acts. "Nikko Speaks." "Si Speaks." Nikko Thinks. Si Thinks. |
