 The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... Raevyn couldn't help but wonder what was so bad that she thought he'd leave. 'Again.' A nasty little voice in his mind whispered. He climbed onto Ashriel's lap, rising to brace his front paws on her shoulders. "I came back Ashriel. I'm not going anywhere. I promise." Even if he'd wanted to - Which he certainly didn't - He didn't think he could, knowing the pain it would cause her.  The tiger that should be....isn't....

[ I ] { A } mnot that person who can just instantly trust people. [ I ] { A } mthat person with the guilty heart. Ashriel nodded, beginning quietly. "When I was twelve, my parents thought something was wrong with me, mentally. So they took me to a psychiatrist, weekly. He was creepy, or, at least, he seemed seemed creepy. He'd ask me all sorts of questions, about school, about my lack of friends." She paused for a moment, looking at Raevyn. "One day, he suggested a medication for me to my parents. He called me clinically insane. Said I should be in an asylum." Her teeth gripped her lip once again. "They believed him. Called me crazy..." She trailed off, obviously finished. That was the day she'd had to go stay with her grandmother for a week, because her parents just plain got sick of dealing with her.
Her grandmother got sick of her almost immediately. Said her parents had to handle her. Said that she was worthless. No point in having her around. Her parents dropped the crazy thing just because the asylum cost too much. That was the only reason, and Ash had always known it. [ I ] { A } m that shy person that is forced to speak.

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... That was it? That was her big secret? Raevyn almost laughed, but caught himself in time. He made sure she was looking at him before he answered slowly. "I. Don't. Care." He told her simply. "If you're crazy, than it's a good thing. No one else would believe that a cat could turn into a human. Not only did you accept it, but you took it in stride and dealt with it. Sure, you could be called crazy, but wanna know a secret? My entire world is made up of things that people would call crazy or impossible." He didn't seem to have any intention to leave, or to leave get off her lap for that matter. The tiger that should be....isn't....

Her grip shouldn't be tight enough to hurt him, but even if it was, it slackened almost instantly. "You are the only one I've told...I'm too scared to tell anyone else." It was an admittance, one that had taken her years to be able to tell anyone about. After all, it was the same reason why she thought her parents hated her. How could she easily tell anyone?

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... Raevyn didn't protest the hug, knowing Ashriel needed it. "Yeah well, I'm the right one to tell, coming from my own little crazy world." He said with a small laugh. "Think about it. People would call me crazy if I told them I could turn into a cat." He was quiet, then rubbed her cheek briefly. "I can't imagine Lixini or especially Jennalin would stop being friends with you. Jennalin grew up in my crazy world. She wouldn't believe you're crazy. And Lixini just seems to like you too much, daft girl that she is." The tiger that should be....isn't....

As she glanced up and around her room, she burst into laughter when she saw where the pillow landed. "Well, I guess it is a good thing that I hadn't been holding you - looks like I tried to throw my pillow out the window." Indeed, the pillow was hanging halfway out the window.

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... Raevyn gave the pillow a huffy glance. "Serves the stupid thing right, taking my spot." He muttered, glaring at the offending item. He was glad to hear Ashriel laughing though. He hated seeing her crying and in pain. The tiger that should be....isn't....

"Tired." Her voice was just a mutter as she curled up again, leaving her arms empty. Inevitably, she'd end up grabbing something, as that was just plain how she slept.

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... Raevyn continued to glare at the pillow for a minute, then sighed and slid off the bed to fetch it. He carried it back to the bed, knowing Ashriel would get mad at him if it fell out the window. He dropped it on the bed, glancing between the pillow and Ashriel. Then he turned and kicked it to the floor, inserting himself in her arms. There. Now the pillow wasn't falling out the window and it wasn't in HIS spot. He curled up, drifting off to sleep, content and warm. The tiger that should be....isn't....

--ze next morning...--
Ashriel woke up when the sun filtered into her room. She cursed aloud - her alarm clock usually woke her up earlier. Why didn't it go off? Her eyes glanced to the nightstand. Right. She had decided to make time fly while Raevyn had been gone. Ugh. Pain in her butt. Now she would have to buy a new one. [ I ] { A } m that shy person that is forced to speak.

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... "Wha's wrong?" Raevyn asked sleepily as he heard Ashriel curse. He didn't open his eyes though, too comfortable. He simply turned slightly, burying his face against her chest to block out the sunlight. The tiger that should be....isn't....

"Now I'm going to be going in later than I'd planned." She didn't mention the fact that she'd thrown her alarm out of the window while she'd been upset about him being gone. Nah, he definitely didn't need to know that. Carefully, she walked into the bathroom, combing through her hair. [ I ] { A } m that shy person that is forced to speak.

The tiger that shouldn't be....is.... Raevyn yawned, curling into the warm spot Ashriel left when she got out of bed. "Alright then." He didn't question it any further. "What do you want for breakfast?" He asked, slowly rising to his paws and stretching out the kinks in his spine. The tiger that should be....isn't....
