Books- continued

"Too busy making out with the cute guys?" she chuckled. Not that she'd blame him - she was known to prefer the fairer sex.

He chuckled, "well.. yes I have been doing that but.. I've also spent a lot of time with girls too just.. mm" he shrugged. "ergh i feel dizzy hold on.." he stopped suddenly to lean against the wall as his head bagn to spin slightly.

He always felt queezy after switching.. especially while staying in the form he spent so much less time occupying.

"Are you okay?" Raye whispered, hesitantly pressing a hand to his shoulder.

"y.. yeah.. I.. ugh" he felt himself shake slightly and instantly turned back male, hoping it would help. "I.. yeah i just get a bit... it's got to do with shifting forms.." he felt weak- somehow it seemed a bit worse than normal.

Sure he was normally a tad shaky but..

"Then ya shouldn't have done it, stupid," she sighed, rubbing his back in small circles. She ran her tongue over her lower lip then chewed on it worriedly. Be okay, Shae...

he grinned a bit, the feeling beggining to subside. "nonsense.. it's always like this I'm used to it by now.." he coughed and pushed back off the wall, still a tad wobbly.

She sighed and gave him a flat look. Men, always the same, she thought dryly. "If you say so, Shae."

"I know so.." he chuckled, trying to sound fine. It was going away now, but he still felt slightly shaken by it.. it wasn't normal for it to be like that.

"Yare, yare, men are all the same everywhere. Be careful. If you stumble and fall cause you're still feeling dizzy, I'm going to be stood above you telling you ya shoulda been more careful," she promised.

"ah... will you now.." he asked looking away still grinning.. "what if i stumble and fall and-" he suddenly grabbed her hand before 'stumbling and falling' backwards- and pulling her ontop of him. "-you get taken with me" he laughed.

Raye landed with an unsightly grunt but composed herself quickly, blowing her hair out of her face with an amused expression. The hair flew up in a flurry, revealing a scar that trailed down her cheek and curled up around her eye.

She crossed her arms, resting them on his chest and perching her chin atop them. "I'd be lying on you telling you ya shoulda been more careful."

his eyes flickered over her scar but he ignored it out of curtesy and smirked instead. "And I'd be underneath you.. telling you to stop worrying like an old lady"

"I am an old lady. I'm entitled to worry." She stuck her tongue out at the boy beneath her.

he rolled his eyes and grinned widely. "My dear.. I'm over 150 years old.. I think I win that call" he chuckled.
He was older- which kinda rendered her arguement... invalid~

"Yare, yare, so old? Should I be worried that I'm laying on top of you then, old man? You a dirt old pervert looking for beautiful young ladies like myself~?" She ruffled her hair and pursed her lips vainly.

"now now" he purred. "that's a bit harsh.. you're not excactly an infant yourself sweetheart" he smirked coyly.

"I'm the senile old bat that sits in the corner in a rocking chair petting the evil cat on my lap, ne?" she chuckled. "I can picture myself as the crazy cat lady way too easily. I think Chaye was right when he said I was mad as a hatter."

"well... we're all mad here" he winked, gersturing with his head to the corridor around him- meaning of course the castle they were currently inhabiting. "you'll fit right in.."

"People havent started running away screaming yet, so I think I'm fitting in fine." She grinned. "And I had one hell of a welcoming."

"ohh.." he raised an brow questioningly. "whats that?"

"The lock-in. It started on one of my first here. And a lot of interesting things happened there. I met two people I consider quite close friends already."

"mm" he grinned. "I see well... a LOT of things happened in that lock... some of them that I.." he coughed. "I'd like to think will STAY in that locked room..

"Do some things that might embarrass you, darlin'?"

"well... you could say something like that..." he replied casually. "although i THINK some of them may have been caught on camera~"

Raye grinned. "Hmmm, I remember that~"
