Aurélie nodded again. "Oui."

With a terrified cry - the result of a nightmare that combined past and present - Trip rolled off the bed.

Cross woke with a start, looked to the fallen kit. "Trip! Are you okay?"

by **StarShineDC** Tue Feb 23, 2010 6:38 pm

He scurried under the bed, looking around and whimpering softly.

by **Cross187** Tue Feb 23, 2010 6:42 pm

He sighed. Another nightmare... Not really surprising, but still... He got out of the bed, looked underneath at the kit. "Hey, it's okay," he said soothingly. "You're safe, now."

by **StarShineDC** Tue Feb 23, 2010 6:57 pm

He gazed back at the echidna and came back out to press close.

by **Cross187** Tue Feb 23, 2010 7:04 pm

He held the kit in his arms, stroking his head softly. "Don't worry, Trip. Everything's alright."

by **StarShineDC** Tue Feb 23, 2010 7:16 pm

The small fox pressed his face into Cross's chest, shivering. "O-okay..."

by **Cross187** Tue Feb 23, 2010 7:21 pm

His brow furrowed slightly. He was reminded of the harsh truth of the situation, about Star's current predicament... "...We've got a big day ahead of us."

by **StarShineDC** Tue Feb 23, 2010 7:32 pm

He nodded, closing his eyes. "You'll save her," he whispered.

by **Cross187** Tue Feb 23, 2010 7:36 pm

He nodded. "Yes, I will. And she'll be okay."

by **StarShineDC** Tue Feb 23, 2010 7:51 pm

"Okay." The kit held on, pouting slightly. He wanted his mom, but he had Cross. Usually that made him happy because the echidna was nice, but... He was too worried to be happy, worried about both of them.

by **Cross187** Tue Feb 23, 2010 8:05 pm

He sighed, getting to his feet, bringing the kit along with him. "Come on. Let's go say hi to the others."

by **StarShineDC** Tue Feb 23, 2010 8:43 pm

Trip snuggled, yawning. "How come you don't get scared?"

by **Cross187** Tue Feb 23, 2010 8:49 pm

He smiled at him. "Oh, I do get scared, all the time. But, instead of cowering from them, I face them head-on. It's called bravery."

by **StarShineDC** Tue Feb 23, 2010 8:50 pm

"What are you scared of?"

by **Cross187** Tue Feb 23, 2010 8:52 pm

"...Losing the ones I love. Like you, and your mom."

by **StarShineDC** Tue Feb 23, 2010 9:00 pm

Trip laid his head on the echidna's shoulder. "You love us?"

by **Cross187** Tue Feb 23, 2010 9:04 pm

He smiled warmly. "Very much so."

by **StarShineDC** Tue Feb 23, 2010 9:05 pm

"Okay." His smile was shy. "I love you, too."

by **Cross187** Tue Feb 23, 2010 9:08 pm

"Thanks." He took a deep breath. "I'll make sure to tell Star the same, when I see her."

by **StarShineDC** Tue Feb 23, 2010 9:14 pm

The fox nodded. "I think she loves you."

by **Cross187** Tue Feb 23, 2010 9:19 pm

He blushed slightly. "Maybe..."

by **StarShineDC** Tue Feb 23, 2010 9:30 pm

The kit smiled. "You have to save her so we can find out, okay?"

by **Cross187** Tue Feb 23, 2010 9:34 pm

He smiled back, nodded. "You got it. Now, let's see if we can't get some breakfast."

by **StarShineDC** Tue Feb 23, 2010 9:58 pm

"Yeah."
