[Hot springs] Wrong move friend...( Sapphire, Graecus, Vuil)

[Sapphire]

This nip on the nose came as a big surprise to Sapphire. It hurt much more than the bite on the shoulder. This didn't seem possible but there had to be a reasonable explanation for it. Regardless the fight at hand was more important. The leopard was now standing turned towards Sapphire. She pawed around her in a circle glaring into the smaller cat's eyes. It was time to strike. Sapphire lunged at her pawing to try to get a strike in. Just one more hit should give her the time she needed to deal a real hit. After the hit she would bring her other hand down on the frail spine of her opponent, then bite her leg before she could get up.

[Vuil]

Vuil hissed as the tiger began to circle her, falling into an opposite circle, so as not to leave her back to the tiger, green eyes glaring hotly. Her side was hurting more than they had been, and if her rib was broken again, this woman had better hope she was out of Sunberth before she healed up again. The tiger leapt at her, graceful and quick. For a tiger. The leopard pushed herself forward and out of harms way, landing light on her paws to turn and face the tiger again, growling low in her chest. Her side gave a twitch, telling her not to move around to much, lest she risk more damage. She kept her eyes on the tiger, but couldn't take the chance to attack.

[Ximal]

Xi fell out of control as liro stepped in. The blank lifeless expression of confusion on his face twisting into a smile of insanity and cunning. Now the little gears inside of liros mind began turning as Xi fell into the blackness that was his fragment. A special prismatic holding cell for Xi to remain whilst Liro held control. Taking a deep breath liros twisted mind began to watch the events of the two women beasts unfold...And his first thought was...She was a leopard? No wonder she held such fire... Slowly drawing long deep breaths he watched the women-beasts circle each other. Clawing his hands closed his twisted smile only grew as he realized what these two women were fighting over. Him. Oh the twisted delight of it all. Liro snapped his neck much as Xi was prone to do. Almost therapeutic in nature. Liro smiled his mind now formulating a plan, striding between the two women-beasts he almsot roared in his voice, normally kept low and quiet. "Enough!" His plan use what they were fighting over as truce terms. What was the point of one dead and one injured? When he could have both alive and well. The devil is in the details, he had to play this carefully or risk loosing both of them to rage. "You two will act human in my presence or begone from it. Your choices stand; One, shift back to human form and sit down quietly and calmly. Or option two, get the petch out and leave my sight. Now, choose." Folding his arms he let his determined, volatile, madness filled eyes leer and glare at the pair of them. He would be heeded or they would both be brought to swift understanding of him not giving leeway. Liros decision was final and right now. Either both of them agreed, or both of them left.

[Graecus Kaer]

Graecus stood and watched as these two females fought over the man standing just to the right of. Every time they struck each other Graecus winced for them. He over looked this scene of horror, to him, and wished he could do anything but, he couldn't. As he stood powerless nothing was able to go through his mind. He couldn't formulate any plans to try and stop it. When he thought someone was about to get mortally injured Liro yelled at the two to stop. The sound was so startling it made him flinch and stumble back a few steps. He looked up and only saw a small amount of his face but, from the amount he saw he saw udder calmness. 'How could you be so calm? Was the first thought to run through his brain. He listened to the man speak about the two woman. Wanting them to go back to human form and be quiet. As he spoke something seemed different. When he usually spoke it was strong but quieter with a little bit more emotion, but when he spoke now he sounded like he had more power, a loudness, and little emotion. When Liro began to move that's when his thought process ended. 'Maybe the headache is gone.' Was the first of many possibilities to this situation which Graecus thought of. He saw a little rage going through his eyes but otherwise he looked so calm. It was unnerving. Graecus went to speak, but he realized there was nothing to say.

[Sapphire]

The girl dodged Sapphire's blow but didn't strike back. Ximal's voice boomed loudly, demanding that the two stop at once and return to their human forms. Sapphire obeyed, she had never seen him speak in such a way that he did. He was yelling without any sense of emotion in his voice whatsoever. Sapphire knew that this wasn't Xi talking, her animal senses told her so. It was still him, but it wasn't. It was like he was speaking as a different person. Sinking in to her human form and the water, she merely stared at him. Not wanting to upset him Sapphire would not speak unless he asked her to. Why was so enraged? It had something to do with this other leopard girl. She ruined everything. Sapphire and Xi were having such a great time, and even met a new friend. Then she came through and screwed it all up.

[Vuil]

Vuil flicked her gaze to Liro as he stood up, his voice loud and commanding as he ordered the fighting to cease. Her ears, which had been flattened against her head, raised slightly. This was more like the man she remembered; forceful, domineering, and strong. Not the witless and frozen fool that had been in front of her moments ago. The leopard obeyed, her fur disappearing into skin in a flash of brilliant light, back into her human form. Her black bangs fell into her face, weighed down by the water that had been soaked into her fur. A smirk played on her lips, slipping through the water to come next to Liro, taking a seat. "If that's what you'd like, Liro~" She cooed lightly, a hand running up through her hair, the locks being brushed from her face. "I know how much you prefer this form." Her smirk widened slightly.

[Ximal]

The insanity lines smile on his face only grew as his plan worked, He'd averted a fight and caused the she-beasts to turn back in to his preffered form. After all it was much easier on the eyes. Now that liro held the sway in more ways then one he flicked his eyes across the pair of them, this time anger was replaced with allure, he wanted them closer. Whether they came or not was of their own volition but he knew that they would. If they obeyed his words, they'd see the look in his eyes as an open invitation. Sapphires face was a cross between disbelief and confusion, whilst vuil had a look of knowing, relief, and welcome...He'd truly done his work with her...If only he could make such progress with sapphire. Still listening to the way Vuil spoke and how close she sat. Liro smirked as he sat back down flexing his muscles a little. He lifted an eyebrow as he spoke to Vuil. "True, i do enjoy your human form. But i think you 'enjoyed' my form a lot more." Liro smiled cheekily the light tint of slyness emphasizing the choice of words. Still he had to tread water a little otherwise the fires of rage would spark back to life and consume them all. Liro took a deep slow breath, his voice now commanding but back lower back quieter and now with a edge of both insanity and slyness that denoted he was not playing fair with what he knew. He kept his arms high leaving himself on full display. Right now he was playing with sapphires mind as well as almost taunting vuil. Though it was in such away as to shift their focus off of each other and back onto him. "Sapphire please come closer. You dont need to be so far away i am sorry for shouting but it was the only way to get you to to come to your senses." A light mischievous smile nestled into place across his lips. He had complete control of the situation. If he brought them both into arms reach then what ever he did with them that close would mask his true purpose of keeping them with in his incapacitation zone. One strike from him in the right spot with them in human form. Within this zone was an instant knock-out. Of course if his ands went roaming whilst they were this close...Who was he to stop them thinking what they would...Once again that twisted but cunning smile returned to his lips. He loved playing games...And this was one of his favourites to date...

[Sapphire]

Ximal apologized for his shouting. He spoke so softly and sweetly, Sapphire couldn't help but move closer to him. Xi was so strong and dominant, like an alpha male. She couldn't help but see him as appealing now. Perhaps she still didn't know if she loved him, but she definitely wouldn't mind getting much closer to him. Sapphire swam closer to him, wrapping an arm around his massive torso and laying her head on his side. He was so warm and firm. It was like sleeping on the rocks while she was outside of Sunberth. The fight the was just raging now seemed like a surreal dream that never really took place. This seemed like a dream too, but it wasn't. It was more, but Sapphire didn't know what to think of it. Something of it was weird though. The emotions going through her mind seemed like they never existed before. She couldn't make much of it though, her mind was foggy like the spring. Oh well. I'll just sit here with Xi until he tells me to do something else. Sapphire smiled to her self.

[Graecus Kaer]

Graecus stood there watching as the two woman turned back into humans. Then as the panther cooed at Liro she got closer to Liro and himself. The action made him tense so he scooted to the side a little bit. Then Liro adresses the two females and told them to come even closer. Graecus smelled something fishy, but he couldn't tell. It had something to do with the man in front of him, but what? He had no idea. Then the tiger got even closer. Graecus stepped to the side until he had nowhere to go except in front of them. His eyes were sizing this situation up, and he didn't like it. "Listen, I'm going to get out, before my skin gets all wrinkly," Graecus turned around and got out of the pool and headed over to his clothes and grabbed the towel and started drying off outside of the pool. Graecus was getting uncomfertable with this situation and, by getting out of the pool, distanced himself.

[Vuil]

Vuil felt her smile fade as Liro asked Sapphire closer, her posture straightening, stiffening, as the woman slinked closer to him. To her Liro. If it hadn't been him who had told her to... behave as a human, than she likely would have lashed out at her again. Every passing moment, her hate for this woman grew. But, she needed to act human... She wasn't sure how that was any different then how they had been behaving before, seeing as everyone she had ever met acted just like her. Angry, violent, territorial, aggressive. Still, she was sure that wasn't what Liro wanted, seeing as he had told them to stop. Still, there were other ways to assert what was her's. "Hmm, how cute. Like a little cub." She cooed, slinking closer to the pair. There wasn't any way she was going to be excluded from her Liro. A slim hand ran across the man's chest, making sure the tips of her nails scrapped against the other woman's face. Gently. Wouldn't even leave a mark, though she really wished she could claw that woman's face off. It was wrapped lightly around the man's neck, pressing her body against his, rubbing their cheeks together. "I did enjoy you that night, Liro~ We should do it again sometime." Her lips came to rest just against the male's ear, a grin spreading them wide. "Sometime soon, perhaps..."
