Outside The Bar

[Ris Grestar]

Ris was about to speak when Audri continued.  "No, but I had wanted to."

The fox's ears perked up.  "Wait, what?  You did?"

The vixen looked to Ris, her tone a little brighter upon hearing that he and Ruby weren't anything special.  "Wasn't it obvious?"

"Well...No...I don't know.  I'm slow when it comes to these sort of things..."

Audri smiled, her light grey tail flicking.  "You always were, but you've always been a cutie, too...Ris, why -did- you leave?"

Ris looked away, still lightly smiling to himself.  "Just personal reasons..."

'Wow...So someone -did- notice me...'

[Kursed]

"Ya know what I forgot I change my mind we were planning on being a couple"Ruby lied just to make Audri jealous.

[Ris Grestar]

Ris' smile instantly dropped, his head snapping towards Ruby and then to Audri. "No no no, that's not true, she's lying, no sexual attraction whatsoever."

Audri was ignoring the vulpine, her hard gaze locked onto the she-wolf.  "Oh were you?  And how long have -you- known him?"

[Kursed]

"Long enough."Ruby almost growled in reply, her stance on the subject not changing.

[Ris Grestar]

Audri's tail was lashing out now, the small ermine looking both alarmed and confused.  Looking to Ris, he could only offer a worried glance.  "Ris, I know you -much- better than that...that -wolf- does, don't I?"

"L-look, girls, I'm not dating anyo--"

"He deserves more than anything -you- could offer him!"  She retorted, her voice escalating to a quiet growl, too.

'Holy crap...Our village must be -really- small if she still cares about me...But this is a bit far.'

[Kursed]

"OH! Really  I didn't Notice your Dump of a town compared to my mother's Ship!" Ruby growled back she really didn't mean  that she actually enjoyed the town she really had wanted to Visit it."and I can offer him alot more than some Dirty snow!"She added also really not meaning it she loved the snow.

[Ris Grestar]

Ris' ear twitched, looking over to the she-wolf and shaking his head.  "Ruby, that was uncalled fo--oh, whoa now, calm down!"  The fox reached out and grabbed the grey vixen around her waist as she began approaching the black wolf, her green eyes sparkling with hate.

"But Ris, did you hear what she just said?!"

"I did, Audri, and she had no right to do so.  But we can't let that control us, okay?  You need time to vent?"  At Audri's silent nod, Ris shifted his hold on the girl, one arm supporting her back, the other held under her knees.  "Alright.  I'll talk to you later, Ruby.  Hold down the fort, would ya?"

As Ris began to walk off with Audri in his arms, she looked back over his shoulder, sticking her tongue out at Ruby.

[Kursed]

"WHY YOU LITTLE!"Ruby Growled  chasing after Ris."GET BACK HERE AND FIGHT LIKE A CANINE GIRL AND STOP LETTING THE CUTE MALE DO THE FIGHITNG FOR YOU!" Ruby shouted as she  chased after Ris.

[Ris Grestar]

Hearing the shouting, Ris quickly set Audri down and spun to face the she-wolf, holding his arms out to make sure she didn't get past.  "Sheesh, Ruby, calm down!  I've never seen you like this before!"

The grey vixen simply crossed her arms again, still glaring at the wolf as a sly smile appeared on her short muzzle.

[Ris Grestar]

Audri continued glaring at the she-wolf for another minute, her teeth gritted and her tail angrily lashing out.  In the blink of an eye, however, her opened hand was rushing towards Ruby's muzzle in the timeless slap.

[Kursed]

Ruby eyes went wide and she smacked Aurdri. "What are you smacking him for it' your fault smack yourself!"

[Ris Grestar]

Ris quickly moved in between the two.  "Girls, girls, please, no need for figh--"  He was cut off by a swift smack to the side of his muzzle, a gasp sounding afterward.  Blinking a few times, he turned his head to see a horrified-looking vixen.

"I-I'm so sorry, Ris, I didn't mean to!"

"No...No, you're fine."  He replied, rubbing his muzzle before again addressing both of them.  "Now, this has got to stop.  Ruby, please leave.  Go find Zeke and Aisu, I'm sure they'd love your company."

[Kursed]

"NO I'm standing Right here Ris weather you like it or not."Ruby growled stomping her foot on the ground.

[Ris Grestar]

"Then stand there and allow us to leave."  Ris replied, taking Audri's hand and turning around, beginning to walk off to another portion of the ship with her.  "Come on."

The vixen happily complied, her tail starting to swish again as she moved a bit closer to the blue vulpine.

[Kursed]

"OOOH NO!"Ruby  shouted grabbing Audri's tail "your going alone!"Ruby added.

[Ris Grestar]

Audri yelped as her tail was pulled back, stumbling backwards.

Ris looked over his shoulder, glaring at the wolf.  "Ruby, I'm -not- working with you if you're going to act like this."  Turning to fully face her, the fox pointed back towards the main group of Fichinians.  "Leave Audri and me alone."

[Kursed]

"your not working with me Your working with Krystal so leave the girl alone and go talk to your parents like you said you would."Ruby replied letting go Of Audri's tail.

[Ris Grestar]

Audri quietly grabbed onto Ris' arm, the male fox quietly glaring at Ruby.  As he spoke, his voice remained calm, but his blue eyes were edged with indignation.  "You're right.  I'm not working with you.  Maybe I never will.  Now, we're leaving you here and you're not going to stop us.  You're going to stay right here with the group or to check on Krystal, but you're leaving us alone."

[Kursed]

Krystal walked up to Ris and the others "What is going on here?"she asked voice still hoarse, still in a  medical gown she didn't look to good either. .

Fay wasn't far behind "KRYSTAL YOU NEED TO REST!"

[Ris Grestar]

"Come on, let's just go..."  Audri whispered, genuine worry and care in her eyes.  Nodding, the two turned around and began leaving again, ignoring Krystal, the young grey vixen taking the lead so she wasn't held back again.

[Kursed]

"Ris, get back here!"Krystal shouted weakly glaring at Ruby before walking after Ris and Audri.

Ruby llooked down to the ground and began to cry.

"KRRRYYSTTAL!!!!" Fay shouted chasing after the blue vixen.

[Ris Grestar]

Without looking back, Ris asked Krystal, "What, are you gonna insult my home and friends, too?"

[Kursed]

Without looking back, Ris asked Krystal, "What, are you gonna insult my home and friends, too?"

"Insult? Ris I just came here to save your whole village and took a sniper shot for them you think I'm going to Imsult such a peacful and beautiful place after what I've done?"Krystal asked turning to Audri "Hello I'm Krystal what's you name?"She asked turning back to Ris ."I'd just like to know what the heck went on."Krystal  added.

Ruby sighed and  sat down to play the game with the other teenager "I really didn't mean that your home was ugly it's beautiful...."Ruby sniffed."I've never had a true home to be completely honest...."She added.

[Ris Grestar]

The white ermine was still recovering from the shock, but as Ruby sat down next to her, she snapped back to reality.  She looked confused as the wolf explained, her eyes intently studying her.  "If you didn't mean it, then why would you say such things?"

Ris sighed, turning around and indicating Ruby with a flick of his tail.  "So would I.  Ruby just suddenly exploded, taking it out on Audri."

The vixen nodded lightly, though she chose not to speak, instead watching the two foxes interact.

"But really, Krys, shouldn't you be lying down?"

[Kursed]

"Not if  my adopted daughter is going to explode on somethign as simple as this did your friend provoke anything?"Krystal asked."I can't have this kind of thing happening on my ship weather I'm dead or alive." She added.

"Because she made me really jealous I  have a boyfriend ,but I really enjoy Ris's company."Ruby muttered to the ermine. "Oooh I just went about that all wrong didn't  I?" Ruby sobbed.
