Wings of Ivalice [[Rated R (ARR)]]

The half-viera didn't even hear what Ruyine said as he walked past the pillars that were lined up in front of the Tomb of Raithwall. Their shadows casting lines across the desert sand as the sun moved across the sky, the sqwaking of various beasties could be heard as he glanced back at the ship which hand landed near the entrance of the area of rock that surrounded the tomb.

Theory took his chance then. Quietly sliding off his bed and making his way onto Enrics, the hybrid boy snuggled up against the hume. As he did so, Theory couldn't help but get the scent of the other boy; slightly sweaty but with a hint of a natrual sweetness.

When Theory sneaked in, Enric didn't wake up. He mumbled in his sleep a little, unconsciously moving to accommodate the other boy. Normally he was a wary sleeper and would have noticed right away, but the combination of a real bed and an exhausting day left him dead to the world

Ruyine decided to go after Elleron and went to borrow some clothes from his closet. Once he found a outfit he liked, he put it on and went on his way. He passed by the cabins and smiled at the two boys curled up next to each other before he headed outside to catch up to the half-viera.

I'm glad at least one of us is lucky...

Theory sighed happily before curling up, his head resting rather close to Enrics chest before he finally fell asleep.

Elleron had ended up walking around his entire ship so that he could look at the Nam-yensa Sandsea. The wind had died down so that he could look across a good expanse without needing to squint, the half-viera was also lucky that there were no elementals sneaking about.

Ruyine looked around until he spotted Elleron, walking up to him and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Elleron?"

In his sleep, Enric put his arms around Theory, not knowing what was going on, just that there was something next to him and it was warm.

Elleron couldn't help but jump as he turned around to look at the half-orc, who was wearing borrowed clothes. "....We're going to need to go to a city soon..." He said, his eye twitching slightly before sighing and crossing his arms. "Seeing that you followed me out here I assume you want to talk more?"

The hybrid boy snuggled closer to Enric, finally burying his face in the other boys chest. "So warm..." Theory muttered in his sleep.

"Yeah. Look, about what I said, I didn't mean to offend you. I do like you for you but clearly, you don't feel the same about me so I won't bother you about it any more." Ruyine sighed and looked out onto the desert.

"Anyway, what city are we going to?"

When Theory spoke, Enric woke up, instinct overcoming his sleepiness. Right away, he noticed that someone was clinging to him and he blearily glanced down, inhaling sharply in surprise when he realized it was Theory. He couldn't help smiling as he closed his eyes again and fell back asleep.

Elleron sighed, he still needed to see if his own heart was saying yes to love or not. "Probably Bhujerba because they have some of the best clothing for cheap if you go to the right spots...not to mention I need to trade in some things..." The half-viera said as he turned to look over the sandsea again, seeing a few of the 'fishes' hopping over bridges.

Theory seemed to purr softly as he continued to sleep.

"New clothes would be nice. Then I wouldn't need to borrow yours." Ruyine laughed, trying to lighten up the mood.

"It seems our two little friends are getting along. I saw them sleeping together in the cabins back on the ship."

Enric slept and woke intermittently, occasionally staying awake just to watch over Theory, still unsure why he felt so protective of his fellow misfit. He just liked Theory, maybe.

"Oh goody... I hope they don't make a mess..."Elleron joked as he sat down in the sand wondering if he should take a shot at a few cockatrices that happened to be waddling near.

The misfit of misfits slept soundly, his bangaa like tail wrapped around his own leg.

Used to running on very little sleep, Enric finally woke up completely. However, he couldn't move since Theory was curled up against him. He considered sleeping but he couldn't fall, so he just stayed awake, occasionally petting Theory's hair without even realizing what he was doing.

"Are you thinking of hunting them?" Ruyine asked, eyeing the creatures as well.

"I can transform and kill them if you want. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing this time so I won't go berserk."

"Probably not... unless they come closer..." Elleron said as he closed his eyes, his mind still wondering about his feelings. Though when Ruyine said something about going into his werebeast form, he sighed.

"Do it if you want..."

"I mean, it would be easier. Then we'd all have something to eat." Ruyine replied, shrugging. "The food on the ship isn't going to last us forever."

The half-viera sighed as he laid back in the sand, still desperately needing a shower himself, he didn't care if he got covered in sand. "We should have enough until we go to Bhujerba..."

"It wouldn't hurt to have extra." Ruyine stated calmly, not wanting to get into another argument.

"Go ahead if you want..." Elleron said as he shifted around in the sand, putting his arms behind his head as he soaked up more of the desert sun, its heat actually welcoming seeing as it wasn't so bad.

Ruyine nodded, taking off the borrowed clothes and his necklace. This time, he didn't transform quite as savagely as last time. Now the werebeast had almost a human intelligence about it as it stalked its prey.

In no time, it leapt at the smaller creatures and dragged them down. He bit into their necks to numb them before killing them, eating one and left the rest to feed the crew with.

The amulet slipped back on Ruyine's neck and he returned to normal again with the dead hunting game slung over his shoulders.

"That should do it."

The half-viera opened his right eye to see Ruyine, in all his naked glory. Closing his eye again and rolling onto his side, Ellerons face turned a light shade of red. "You could've at least put the pants back on..."

"I don't want to get them stained with dead animal blood." Ruyine shrugged, handing the clothes to Elleron.

"We should probably go back inside soon. Who knows what those kids have done to the ship."

"Yeah.." Elleron groaned as he got back up and took the clothes, trying to ignore the fact that the half werebeast was naked as he walked up the ramp. As he walked through the cabin, he saw the two boys cuddling, though Enric seemed to be in a daze while the other slept. Putting the clothes that Ruyine had borrowed on a random surface, he went to get himself some clean clothing.

Once he got some, he headed to the only shower in his entire ship. "Now if you don't mind I'm going to get the sand off of me...not to mention my own blood out of my hair.." Elleron said as he walked into the shower.

Ruyine set the kill down on a nearby table and followed Elleron to the shower, standing outside of it.

"Let me know when you're done, I need to get this blood and stench off of me."
