Kit shot a poison filled glance at Scott, "Shut up." he growled darkly, "I dont have any patience for your smart remarks or hateful feelings for my friend. As far as im concerned she's been more of a friend than you have. At least she was useful." Kit turned from Scott and dropped away. He didnt want to talk to the other boy. Scott had been one of the ones that refused to trust Amelia, even now she still slandered her. She gave up her life for the chance for Scott to walk away. Kit didnt have any respect left for the dark haired boy. The further away Scott stayed from Kit, the longer he would live. Kit had no stomach for the bad attitudes of his flock anymore. All they did was bicker and argue. Kit sometimes wished that when he saved Blaike, he had flown in a different direction. That way he was at least with someone he could trust and get along with. If that had happened they wouldnt have met Max and Amelia would still be alive.
How interesting. Didn't know the School's scientists could be nice. Me neither. Say, what brought you back? Wasn't the scientist lady, was it? I think it was the way she talked to Blaike and Kit. She acted like their mother. Which reminded me of you. It's like I have to be your mother all the time. Oh hush. He smiled wryly. I think we've just discovered that the whole world isn't a bad place. Or full of bad people. After all, she gave up herself for those three. Of course. How could I forget? It wasn't for grumpy me. It was those three. You know, sometimes I think batch 44 was made to be grumpy. Or at least, to have a strong grump trait. Grump trait? Thea was laughing. Sure. I mean really, look at 45. They're all cheerful, happy-go-lucky, lets-trust-the-world kids. You were like that too, once. That was before Yuna got ripped to pieces in front of my eyes. That it was, Thea replied sadly. Wonder how mad Zemmie is. After all, you were a secret until I started yelling at said scientist. Probably pretty mad. And jealous. She thinks I'm your girlfriend. Or something like that. I can tell from the way she stiffened when you said my name. Haha. That's kinda gross though. Sure is. And awkward. It's like giving yourself those weird-looking self-hugs. Theo couldn't help but laugh at that, as he rolled over in the sky. "I am going to see what Max's flock says to me when I go talk to them." He rolled over and flapped his wings harder, catching up to their flock.

"Everyone dies eventually. Once you are born, you begin to die."
"That was not comforting either!"
"It is the way of the Creed. Usually our deaths are violent but quick."
Scott leaped back in surprise. "Gee whiz Kit! What the crapola is wrong with you today? If it's about that lady I don't get it because, well, hey! I've never known someone like that! So so-rry!" he snapped, and flew off a ways. He guessed she did die to save their lives, but it wasn't really for him. He knew she couldn't care less about him. It was definitely for Kit, Blaike, and Zemmie to get away. If he didn't, she wouldn't have cared a bit. He snorted and thought he would throw up. He thought Kit wanted to be his friend. All he said was that the explosion was interesting, and it was cool that the scientists got what they deserved. That's all he had said! What the heck?!

Saturn flew over to a mad-ball-o'-fur looking Scott."So, you okay? I think I went totaly emo in there. In fact, I go emo all the time. Say, you got a joke up uer' sleeve? I think we need a little funny going into our nerves."Saturn asked as she flew with him.A joke would lighten things up. She decided to try something."Guess why the skeleton couldn't cross the road?"She asked, still persistent. She had heard this joke from a scientist as he walked by. It was sure to crack them up.
ooc; i'd have to agree with Ebbs Scorchie, try to tone down the saving you ness =]
Blaike looked over at Kit, what had Scott said? All she heard him say was, 'That was interesting.' It didn't mean Kit had to cut through him like that. She swerved over to Kit keeping silent for a moment. She looked behind her and Max and her flock were following behind farther off, in perfect unison. They probably all looked like idiots. She glanced sideway's at Kit. She saw the expression on his face, and how much hurt and pain he was in. All she wanted to do was throw that pain on top of herself. Even on top of all the pain she was already feeling inside. Just so she knew that he was okay. That he was happy. "Scott didn't say anything out of the ordinary Kit, all he said was 'That was interesting'. It didn't mean you had to bite his head off." She looked over at him, waiting for his response.
Scott shook his head at Saturn. "Why?" he asked. He saw Blaike talking to Kit. Let him have it, he thought, and beat his wings in unison with Saturn. He wanted to talk to Max, but that was out of the question. She had made it clear she didn't want them in her flock. He sighed deeply and wasn't really even waiting for a response from the thirteen year old flying with him.

Saturn saw he was nervouse but continued her joke."Cuz' he's got no guts!" She laughed as she flew with him. Then she thought again."Sorry if that joke was bad, I just wanna lighten the mood."Saturn said, gently flapping her brown and black wings. The clouds up ahead were so white and pure, but one cloud was...darker than the rest. Just like when the moonlight had shone on her friends and never her. The cloud was secluded and alone. She continued to fly,barly remembering what she was doing. She flew high and spinned like a missile through the air as she went forword. Then she flew back next to Scott.
Kit glared sideways at Blaike, "Interesting? Really you think that is a normal response to what just happened? He knows how much Amelia meant to us, to me. He could tell just from the look on my face. It wasnt what he said, more like how he said it. As if all those deaths were a common place thing. You know what is interesting? Watching a dog play in the park or the rainbow in the sky. Those are interesting. Amelia giving up her life for the rest of us to get free... That isnt 'interesting'. Its tragic, heartbreaking, painful. Its many things but interesting isnt one of them." Kit growled deeply, "The way he talks makes me think of the scientists back there. He is no better than them if all he has to say is interesting. One time, during a painful experiment on my wings, the feathers around the edges of my wings lit on fire, causing so much pain and agony, all the scientist had to say was, 'interesting'" Kit looked away with pain in his eyes, "Its a word for distant, uncaring fools."
Scott had been listening. "I didn't mean that! I meant the explosion! What's wrong with you?" he snarled, and left to lurch to the front. What had come over Kit? Yeah, Amelia was dead, but, but, she was one of THEM! One of them who couldn't be trusted. Did Kit know how easy it was to betray someone? It could have happened to them with Amelia, no matter how nice she seemed! He gritted his teeth and flew farther ahead of everyone, not caring, in one of those moods where he smashed his head against a tree kinda mood.
