two black eyes from loving too hard - Elsa - 08-29-2016 Elsa
Tallsun had pretty much dried up every emotion within Elsa. There was no love, no care… not even hate. It was as if she was just existing in the world. Nothing beyond breathing or eating seemed important anymore. Edgar had fallen into his usual silent spiel when he was not supportive of Elsa’s behavior. In their freedom, Edgar wanted to go out. He missed the days of exploration that had been such a key part of their activity. From Elsa, Edgar had learned all about how her first days here were wrought with days wandering. She was an outcast. Her days were spent wandering and sleeping in the Deep Forest. Those were the days Edgar wanted to revert too. They had too much free time to be sitting around in the Edge- he wanted to go visit the forest of Elsa’s past. He wanted to see where such a complicated soul had truly been born. Lord knows Edgar lived through the memories of her past, and it wasn’t until Helovia that she had become so isolated from everyone. After days of pestering, Elsa finally succumbed to the relentless bird. In a cry of happiness, Edgar dove from the sky to land smugly on top of her head. He was practically leaking arrogance. But he had won, his want and needs had finally won out against the lingering thoughts of her past. Tembovu was fading into the background, much like Oxy had disappeared from her heart. Granted, those parts of her were encased in concrete, but they were better buried and dead than remembered. The flight from the Edge to the Deep Forest was quite long. It was only a few hours shorter than their travels to the Threshold. For the whole trip, Edgar was shaking with excitement. This place was shrouded in mystery and exploration. Maybe he’d find himself a friend along the way! That thought made Elsa cringe internally. Even though she was fine with isolation, Edgar was not. His social needs were eons more than her own, and she had starved him of such interaction for as long as she could remember. Sometimes thoughts floated through her mind about the harpy that had bestowed him to her- did she make a mistake? Most of the thoughts with companions were that they were there to be your “soulmate” but Elsa felt as if she had brought nothing but negativity to his life. The bird, so keen to her emotions, lowered his body to love himself lovingly between her ears. In his eyes, she was perfectly imperfect and he wouldn’t ask for another to be bonded too. She was strong, independent, smart, sassy… all characteristics that he found endearing. They were a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield, and that was icing on the cake to how well they just fit together. Elsa laughed lightly, appreciating but at the same time embarrassed by his kind feelings.

@Elsa CONGRATS LOOKIT YOU GO :DD also Antaa can talk now, so first post for her obnoxious speeches!! RE: two black eyes from loving too hard - Elsa - 08-30-2016 Elsa
Edgar was the first to notice another presence. Suddenly he was squawking and bouncing on her head like he just got an injection of adrenaline. His calls were loud and wild- but in a happy way. Elsa’s ears pinned themselves in annoyance as she flinched her head trying to remove the incessant noise that crowed constantly between her ears. Between all of his calling Edgar still failed to tell her why he was excited. But it was evident as soon as Darwin made an appearance. Looking up, Antaa wasn’t far away and that would be why Edgar was excited as all hell. She was probably the only zephyr he knew besides himself. Couple that with the fact that she was his complete opposite, Edgar was smitten with the fiery bird. Edgar leaped from her head, landing in front of Elsa and jumping back and forth in attempt to get Antaa to come down to him. His wings flapped excitedly and he spun in circles. Elsa just shook her head at his childishness, and sheepishly smiled at Darwin. For as “grown” as Edgar was, sometimes she thought he would never age beyond his toddler stage. “Darwin! It’s good to see you as well. I would say I’m happy to see you… but I think Edgar puts me to shame. He’s quite taken with your companion.” She laughed lightly, watching as Edgar jumped back and forth again on his little talons. Elsa herself took a few steps forward to close the distance. On her way, she nudged Edgar in attempt to calm him down, but all he did was hop faster. “Truthfully? I don’t even know.” Her laugh was a bit breathless with an undertone of distress. “The Edge is very different now… It’s just odd. I stepped down from my position as queen recently, and although it’d been much better, I’ve also never felt so alone.” She shrugged, realizing she was again letting her mouth run a little more than it should have. “Well there I go again making things just all happy,” the Ice Queen attempted to laugh at her own joke but realized just how pathetic her situation seemed. Coughing, she began again in hopes of turning the conversation in another direction. “So how have you been? It’s been quite a while… Antaa has grown so much. Has life treated you better?” Elsa was generally interested in his past. When they first met, he alluded to so much history and so many familial ties. Even if he was probably slightly younger than herself, he seemed to know so much more. The whole idea of holding a conversation was still a novel skill to her. Even with so much life behind her, she struggled to fit in with the norm. Hopefully Darwin would be forgiving of her obvious social downfall.

@Elsa omg theyre so cute i can't even handle it :| RE: two black eyes from loving too hard - Elsa - 08-31-2016 Elsa
Edgar was thrilled Antaa joined in his antics. He could feel Elsa’s embarrassment grow and it egged him on even more. With a slight, friendly movement, Edgar jumped forward and attempted to peck Antaa, and then took off hopping away. Tag would only embarrass his bonded further, and he got a fun game out of it with one of the only friends he had of his kind. It was a win win in his mind. Elsa tried her hardest to ignore her bonded, and instead turned all of her attention to Darwin. His willingness to listen to her problems was refreshing and unexpected. Heat rushed to her face as she murmured a quiet thank you. It did mean a lot for him to say that, whether or not he meant it was another story, but Elsa would like to think he did. He continued to surprise her, when he delved into his recent doings. She remembers vaguely him speaking of his estranged brothers, but they didn’t get very far into that conversation. So when the name Archibald crossed their conversation, Elsa was taken aback. He had been part of the Edge invasion, hadn’t he? He was that strong and had no intention of finding his lost brother? Elsa snorted in her own fit of anger at that. “That’s ridiculous. Why would they not even try to look for you?” There was both stress and anger twisted together, so when the chance came to switch conversations to companion, she hopped into it. Especially considering Antaa just recently began talking. Elsa chuckled before he even finished his sentence. He had literally no idea what was going to happen. The naivety of this whole situation was hilarious. The twisted side of her lived for being able to break the news to him that things only got worse. “You have no idea… I hate to break it to you but it seriously only get worse… way worse. Then they get attitudes and think they run the place.” On cue, Edgar called from his spot in agreement. Elsa lifted a brow and gently signaled toward Edgar to prove her point. “Well let me just add that if you don’t know her full personality now, you will. And they learn. That shit is the worst. They’ll pick up on social cues you hate, go out of their way to annoy you, and then sit around smugly because you can’t do a single thing about it.” Again her own companion croaked out a loud agreement. Edgar wasn’t shy about boasting his so called “superiority” too the world. Darwin made a big mistake but letting Antaa play with him. Edgar was the definition of an anti-role model. “They say it’s a gift, but what they fail to tell you is that it’s just as much of a curse as it is a gift,” Elsa leaned in like that was the biggest secret in the world and chuckled as she finished. Each companion had their own set of problems, as did every relationship, but nothing was worse than when you had an un-bind-able relationship with another soul that did everything in its power to drive you insane. Elsa immediately recalled all of the earlier compliments she had given to him, and cracked a smile when she heard him wail like a foal.

@Elsa <3 RE: two black eyes from loving too hard - Elsa - 09-01-2016 Elsa
Her heart broke for him. She had been through her own shit show, but that… what he had been through was worse than she ever could have imagined. Who takes away a foal to kill its mother? Who kills a new mother anyways? That fear should never be instilled into anyone, much less a child. Especially such a young one. Part of Elsa wanted to mourn for him- for the life he could’ve had but didn’t get. At least she had her sister, at least she had some semblance of a family. Darwin… he didn’t have anything. The short pause in the conversation felt like a lifetime, but she was relieved once his jovial mood returned. She knew dwelling on it wasn’t going to help, so maybe she could help guide him into a better future. Another light laugh escaped from her mouth as Darwin groaned in annoyance at his bonded. It started? How much did she say, like two words? Oh he was in for quite the treat as she grew and grew. If he was desperate for an off switch now he’d be losing his mind in a few months. “Oh aren’t you so cute,” she sassed him “thinking you can switch her off. I can do a bunch of things to Edgar and it won’t make him change a thing, watch.” Elsa shot a small ice mound up from beneath Edgar, he squawked but simply slid down the minor hill. Then she aimed to freeze him with burning ice, and he simply just shook it off, and snapped at her a few times for turning him into a science project. Deciding it was safer in the air, he dove after Antaa. Part of him wanted to try to freeze her, but he couldn’t even get close without the heat increasing. So he went for the dive bomb, swooping down to try and tap at her body with his talons, and pushing off to try and put as much distance between himself and Antaa. “So as you can see, magic is useless. I don’t think it’s possible to do such a thing unless you go to the gods for a permanent shut up magic.” Elsa snorted, shaking her head at the hilarious thought of Darwin traveling to the veins to ask them to please shut Antaa up. “You mentioned she’d seen you differently though… what do you mean that? If she gets quiet, maybe she’s afraid of your magic. If you want, you can show me and I can try to help you figure it out? I don’t have any fancy magic myself, but even then I know Edgar was wary when I first started using magic around him.” She looked off into the distance thoughtfully. A different form, he had said. What could he be talking about? If his bird was so afraid that she was silent, what exactly was he? Curiosity and nervousness built within. At least todays outing was turning out to be a fun one. It made her feel at ease for the first time in goddess knows how long.

@Elsa <3 RE: two black eyes from loving too hard - Elsa - 09-14-2016 Elsa It was hard for Elsa to suppress the laughter that bubbled in her throat at Darwin’s, what she would call, loving pessimism. When he mentioned taking her, she spluttered, raising a metaphorical brow at her winged friend. Edgar too made a peeping sound reminiscent of a chuckle, trying to stay balanced while Antaa dove back at him. He felt her talons graze his stomach and he squealed, faltering in flight and stumbling through the air like a newborn zephyr. Elsa laughed, shaking her head, she’d add her own little twist on ideals once he showed her what he could do. Within mere moment, Darwin had been engulfed in flames. Edgar froze, landing beside Elsa and tilting his head. He was now staring at not one but two Antaa’s. A gurgle sound of confusion made its way from his beak at he hear the larger Antaa speak. Elsa glanced between the now three zephyrs and it was hard for her to restrain her laughter. All things considered, he looked like quite the spectacle amongst the other two zephyrs. Guess that made him papa zephyr. ”You, my friend, have a very odd power.” She said, chuckling a little as she took a step towards him. ”I can see why she gets distracted. I’d be highly confused if someone turned into a giant version of me.” Elsa glanced down at the fiery girl and offered a shrug of her shoulders. ”Does it hurt, being in the form? It’s pretty bad ass, but at the same time going up into flames isn’t in my definition of fun. If your hurting, maybe she’s worried about you?” She wasn’t quite sure how to solve this problem. Then she had an idea, eventually she’d have to go back to the veins, maybe he could come with her! ”Although I am not much help at the moment, maybe you could come with me back to the veins once I finish my quest? Then I, or you, can as the God of Earth if he knows why she’s so confused? I think it’s just cause she’s weirded out, but unlike the God’s I don’t have you know special companion reading abilities.” Edgar peeped in agreement, more than happy to have Darwin go with them when the time came. Tembovu was out of the picture now, and he knew Elsa would need someone there at least to celebrate with. Her sight was something she dearly missed, and although she was often private about her affairs, she’d like to be able to share that moment with someone. ”I promise you wouldn’t be intruding. I’d love to have you come if you want, and I know Edgar would be very happy to have a friend like him around.” She smiled shyly, taking a step back to give Darwin some space. Elsa didn’t want to seem needy, but she’d really be appreciative if he went with her.

@Elsa <3 RE: two black eyes from loving too hard - Elsa - 09-21-2016 Elsa
She was intrigued by him, by this whole conversation really. It had been so long since a conversation wasn’t revolving around a heavy subject. No one was criticizing her, no one was demanding her to do things, and most importantly, no one was breaking her heart. Elsa’s subconscious smiled, as well as her zephyr. Though both were short lived as they watched their pale companion morph back into his normal form. His words though, brought another wave of joy. Edgar in particular was thrilled with the idea of getting to spend more time with Antaa. He chirped and hopped up and down in excitement as he flapped his wings wildly, trying to see if Antaa shared his excitement. The Icebound too, was a bit flustered. She had his attention? She assumed he hadn’t meant it in that respect at all… but it still made a warm fluttery feeling stir within her. It was one that she had thought long since died, and she was scared and pleasantly surprised at the sudden return of the feeling. However, with brief moments of happiness, the darkness was sure to follow. They whispered to her about how he didn’t care, she was nothing more than a fleeting friend, once he found his family she would be abandoned. It would be like Oxy and Tembovu’s abandonment. He would leave like Oxy, but settle oh so closely with someone she didn’t know. Fighting against her gut, Elsa’s smile only faltered for a moment before she returned back to the conversation. Edgar too, was still in the middle of feeling hurt as he watched Antaa leave. She caught the back end of his question, before Antaa returned, carrying something with her. Edgar was beyond ecstatic for her returned, and hopped once again back and forth. It was his nervous tick, and Elsa wondered why he was so taken with the phoenix. Part of her laughed, technically, if they touched, wouldn’t they just be fizzled out versions of themselves? Naked birds? The Icebound stifled a laugh as all attention was turned toward the female zephyr. Clutched to her was some sort of silvery chain, so whilst Elsa was trying to figure out what it was, Edgar was having a fit. He chirped indignantly, beak slightly agape as he lurched forward to try and knock Antaa over. She was being quite rude, and he did not appreciate being shown up by a girl. Elsa could feel the embarrassment burn through him, and she laughed shaking her head. “At the moment, I would like to know what it is, but at the same time, I find his humiliation rather amusing. Maybe I should let her antagonize him.” Elsa snorted, turning her eyes back to Darwin to answer his previous question while the birds quarreled. “I go back once I get the last two things… I need a reflective surface and heated fat, also a rock, but I already have that. So I mean I just need help with the first two things.” Elsa shrugged, both embarrassed by the fact she couldn’t find two simple things to complete her quest. The Earth God had given her a relatively easy one. “I head back with the promise of getting my sight back. I know it sounds stupid, why waste time trying to fix something when there was the possibility of getting magic… I don’t know why I feel like I need to justify myself but part of it seems embarrassing that I’m whining like a baby to be able to see again. I kinda just miss that life. It’s also not too great for someone who is supposed to be protecting to be handicapped. And now I’m rambling. I’m sorry Darwin, but whether you liked that or not, thanks for at least sticking with my little sob story.” Her nose scrunched in embarrassment as Edgar too looked at her with confused eyes. She never just dumped her thoughts out like this to anyone. Metaphorical eyebrow raise, he hopped toward his bonded’s front leg, looking up at her with mischievousness. ’You like himmmmmm.’ the smugness was almost enough to warrant a kick from Elsa, but instead she shied away from the idea, afraid of that actually being the truth. Satisfied with Elsa’s confused state, he turned toward Antaa, ideas rolling in his head. If his bonded wasn’t going to admit it to Darwin, then maybe Edgar had to play matchmaker himself later. If Antaa was down, they could have quite the fun time with this. And thus, the bird’s plan began to take form. Suddenly being locked out of Edgar’s head, Elsa’s nervousness rose tenfold as she tried to stay calm and collected in front of Darwin.

@Elsa ITS OKAY THEYRE TOO CUTE NOT TO RE: two black eyes from loving too hard - Elsa - 10-17-2016 Elsa
There was an indignant squawk as Edgar was assaulted with a bright light. An angry bird hiss followed as his eyes shot daggers at the fiery (both physically and mentally) zephyr. He jumped back and forth, almost trying to egg her on to fight him. He was pretty confident he could pin her down and win. Elsa giggled, trying her best to fight the sarcastic ideas that boiled to the surface. It wasn’t her fault that their relationship together was about a hundred and twenty percent sarcasm. However, at this moment it seemed out of nature so she swallowed her words in a heap of embarrassment and focused on Darwin when he began to talk. What she didn’t expect, was Darwin’s gentle and calm movement towards her. He had been holding the necklace, but she hardly expected him to do anything with it- much less reach it over her neck. She folded her ears back as the cold chain slipped over the top of her head, falling just over top of the necklace that held her armor. It was hard to ignore how close his presence was, even when Edgar himself was (ironically) flaming with embarrassment the closer Antaa moved towards him. Her gaze fell towards the ground as she fought her hardest not to come off awkward and weird. Edgar was still somewhere in between, laughing at his bondeds current predicament and trying himself to be as poised as possible in the presence of his “friend”. A long bought of silence passed before Elsa could form some kind of coherent thought. For as calming as it was to have him close, it almost made her feel nauseous (at least in a good way). She bit back a smile as she finally got the guts to look back towards him. “Thank you Darwin… I-“ She paused, suddenly finding a lack of words. “Are you sure? I can always find them on my own- this seems special… I don’t want to take it from you.” She gestured gingerly to the phoenix pendant hanging around her neck. It still seemed odd that someone was so willing to help. It was never this easy. “But… as much as I don’t want to burden you, I would like the help with the fat. I can have Edgar go get some fish, Antaa can go if she wants to, and bring them back. I can make a little bowl to put it in for transport. Although it may reharden- maybe you could come with me back to the veins when I go? I can send Edgar to find you guys when I have time to make the trek.” Her voice was small as she glanced away, gingerly pushing her front right hoof across the ground as Edgar let out a hearty birdy chuckle. Elsa’s “excuse” had far deeper meaning to her than she realized. She was trusting again- and even though Edgar wanted to warn her about getting hurt, he was just going to let this play out. Antaa and he were tight enough that he was sure if Darwin pulled an ass hat move, they could team up and create him endless annoyance. ”Don’t be ass Darwin.” Edgar scolded in his own zephyr language, turning to give Antaa a slanted glare. That girl had enough power, and she needed to keep Darwin in check. To Elsa, it was a foreign noise and she looked at him, confused. For once she didn’t understand what his bird language was saying.

@Elsa <333 RE: two black eyes from loving too hard - Elsa - 10-18-2016 Elsa
There was a mixture of shame and thankfulness that overcame her stomach as he agreed to help her. At the mention of a gift, Edgar, on the other hand, peeped happily looking over to Antaa with a beaky smile, returning her own lovely clicking. He even hopped up and down a few times to show his excitement. This help… it would make his bonded normal again. She could finally be what she wanted to be, instead of shrouded in darkness. The words however had her confused, she stuck on his statement of not being a burden. That was certainly not a thought most others shared about her. She was either a burden, or only as useful as the task that she was assigned. Bringing him along would ease her worries about facing the God of Earth again, hearing that he was living in the falls, was both a gift and a curse. Instead of ruining the moment she swallowed the brief pain and anger that welled up inside, mostly satiated by the fact that Edgar mentally volunteered himself to get Something else lingered in the back of her mind, and she could almost feel the fondness Edgar had for Antaa. The prospect of going to find fish with her was exciting. He could show his manliness AND get time alone to be with Antaa. It was the first time away from his bonded that he wouldn’t be alone. It was a nice thought having this friend. Elsa’s own embarrassment burned as she wasn’t sure what she should be feeling, instead opted for a brief silence, thankful that Darwin scolded his zephyr. Elsa herself let out a little laugh, while Edgar was all the more indignant. The chatter between the two had calmed Edgar down considerably, and when she looked over, Antaa and Edgar were… snuggling? So once Darwin had spoken, it seemed like it angered the poor bird. He squawked loudly, reaching his wing over to shelter Antaa and pull her closer. How dare he think that Edgar didn’t want her around? Elsa let out a snort, lifting a brow towards Darwin. “I think maybe he likes it too much.” As if on cue, Edgar began to chirp angrily, insisting it was not like that at all. With that, the icy zephyr looked to his companion, and in one swoop took off into the air. He knew of a small lake nearby with weird pebbles, and he had seen some decent sized fish. Between the two of them, they should be able to bring enough fish fat back for Elsa. Leading the way, the moment they reached the pool, Edgar decided to show his prowess. Diving in, his talons extended as he grabbed up a medium sized fish, hanging on awkwardly but successfully as the fish struggled a few moments before finally falling dead. It was morbid, but Edgar puffed his chest out, proud of himself as he waited on the shore for Antaa’s catch. Quietly, he froze a little boardwalk out to the deeper part of the lake so Antaa could rest if she was struggling. Hey, if worse came to worse, he could always be her knight in shining armor. Elsa suddenly felt naked without Edgar near, and the words she had formed in her head was a jumbled mess. “I uh… hopefully you’re okay with him trying to steal away your companion.” Her cheeks burned as she nosed the small pendant on her neck subconsciously. “I should probably make that bowl.” She mumbled it, mostly to herself, but to also not continue bathing Darwin in her awkward silence. Within moments, a concaved bowl, formed from ice, stood between them. It was large enough to hold the fat, but she was sure that even with Darwin’s immense heat, by the time she got around to getting to the veins it would have frozen the fat back. “I you would truly go… I can send Edgar to fetch you guys to meet me at the veins? I really appreciate all this. I can't thank you enough Darwin.” She prayed he wouldn’t ask why she herself wouldn’t approach the Falls. This was a conversation she wasn’t sure she wanted to have yet. And she didn’t want him scampering off because she was terrified of his homeland.

@Elsa POOR ANTAA LOL RE: two black eyes from loving too hard - Elsa - 10-24-2016 Elsa
There was a light heat that colored her cheeks at his chuckle. The feelings running through Edgar weren’t helping either. Being in the presence of Antaa seemed to magnify his emotions tenfold. That, coupled with her own mysterious embarrassment Elsa was terrified she was floundering over herself. She was never a social butterfly, but it had never been this bad. It didn’t help either, when, to her surprise, he agreed to go. Edgar picked up on that little bit of waking up Antaa and chuckled quite evilly in his head. He’d have a fun old time finding Antaa. He knew the Falls well enough that he was confident he could find his glowing friend in a matter of minutes. “I really, really appreciate this Darwin. Hey, if it’s any consolation I’m glad you’ll be the first I see with my new eye.” She chuckled awkwardly. It sounded a lot more suave in her head, and she shied her head away in shame. Over yonder, there was a whole other set of events occurring. Edgar watched Antaa closely, picking up on a tension and hesitation in her movement. He was about to move to go catch another for her, and suddenly she dunked herself beneath the water. Edgar hopped backward in surprise, tilting his head as he watched her. She struggled out of the water, but in the end was successful in her hunt. Once she cooed her own okay, Edgar let out a proud chirp as he hopped over toward his now drench companion. Carefully he tried his best to fan her without freezing her out. Quietly, he extended his wing to try and reach over her. He tried to gently freeze any remaining droplets of water so she could shake them off easily. Sheepishly, he stowed his wing, hoping he hadn’t accidentally frozen his friend to death. Giving her one more encouraging, beaky grin, he hopped toward his fish. Clamping his talons around the now lifeless scaly creature, he nodded his head for Antaa to follow. Getting the fish back was a lot more work than Edgar had thought. Once it hit the bowl, he stumbled backward and landed on his back in a squeak of surprise. His wings flailed wildly for a few moments, before he was back on his feet, hoping that by some luck Antaa had not just witnessed his epic failure. Elsa herself snickered at his failure, and he returned her laughter with an angry hiss, before he sulked near the bowl trying to mend his wounded pride. “Don’t judge me.” He grumbled toward Antaa, just in case she had witnessed that grand failure. Elsa looked back to Darwin again, trying to bit back the uneasy but good feeling that assaulted her stomach. “If you want, we can heat it here once over. Then it should make when we get to the veins a bit easier and quicker. Again, I really cannot thank you enough for this Darwin. I owe you big time. After this, it’ll probably be a few days but I’ll send Edgar as soon as possible. I’m really happy you’re going to be there with me.” There was a comforting feeling that followed those words, and suddenly she was a bit sad that she might have to part with the silver pendant around her neck. It was a gentle reminder of him, and she feared that after this day- after the veins…. Would he disappear to? A sickening feeling rolled through Elsa, thankfully she kept her cool and didn’t relay her inner turmoil toward Darwin. Instead, she maintained a smile and stood back to let Darwin do his magic- literally.

@Elsa sorry for the wait! <3 RE: two black eyes from loving too hard - Elsa - 11-09-2016 Elsa
Elsa shyly laughed at his comment of appreciating what she’d see. Frankly, she was pleased with what she had seen now- and she believed it could only get better. Her face heated up at the thought and she quickly shoved such thoughts into the back of her mind. He was probably just being friendly. Especially in that aspect. Edgar however, upon his return was relieved that Antaa didn’t give him too much shit for his mistakes. True, she did almost drown, but at least she did it doing something hard. He simply just couldn’t stand up correctly. But he was content with her companionship and shuffled ever so slightly closer to his flaming friend. As Antaa returned, placing her fish in the bowl, Elsa turned her full attention to Darwin. He offered to travel the world and Elsa only sheepishly nodded. She would like that, she loved exploring but frankly it was quite boring to do alone. Edgar indignantly huffed from his position on the ground, sulking at the seemingly sketchy shade Elsa had just thrown at him. She snickered, but soon stilled as she watched Darwin transform once again in front of her. It looked so painful, and a look of pity colored her face as she watched a giant ass version of Antaa standing in front of her. As much as she feared being burned, Darwin seemed to be taking special care not to injure her. Something within her deep cold soul felt cared for- a feeling that had long since been dormant. Looking down, she was suddenly faced with a steaming bowl of fat, and a grinning, flaming Darwin. Elsa laughed and nodded in response to his question. “Yes, thank you again Darwin. You have no idea how much this means to me. I owe you.” She said, offering a warm smile. Gently, she reached out her muzzle, stopping just short of his flaming body to show her thanks. It was worth the few singed whiskers. Feeling the imminent departure, Edgar frowned but turned and hopped forward, bobbing his head at Antaa.
