When she hugged him he stiffened for a second than patted her head gently as he relaxed.
"Yeah, its not a big deal really. And i could make you some paints too, if you do any canvas work. Canvas is really easy for me to get, since i can actually freeze the water and walk out to some of the sailing boats that have beached on the sandbars. Its where i get most of my clothing, And i could probably find a book or two at the library on how to make paper, it could rapidly become a high cost item, and having extra to sell..."
That was actually a good idea. Also...there was the old paper mill, if he could find someone to get it running again, they could use it for more than just making paper. Those places had water turned generators, he could take the place, and trade the energy to the settlement.
"so, Ines wont be scared if you bring someone home right? I'd hate to startle her."
He was about to ask another question when a rumble came from the south. Thunder.
"We need to hurry...thats going to be a big storm..."

When her arms wrapped around him, Nyla found her seemingly endless grin broadening. Part of her did not desire to release him and when he gently patted her head she found herself snapping to reality. The blonde soon released Zephyr, a slight redness tinting her cheeks as she felt mildly embarrassed for her sudden reaction. Once again, Nyla found herself gently giggling at her little notion, she could not help it, topics like it made her giddy.
"Sorry 'bout that," she said sheepishly. Her hands clasped together and she looked towards the ground with slight embarrassment, but her smile did not falter.
At the idea of paints, Nyla's grin turned into a toothy one. Since the post-apocalypse she had not even touched a paint brush since she had ran out of enough colours that painting something decent seemed impossible. They had also gotten dried out to absurd points where they were inadequate to work with.
"That would be great. Man, you're one radical dude, Zephyr." Nyla had to admit that the man impressed her with all the skills he had acquired.
When he mentioned Ines and how a stranger may frighten her, Nyla paused for a moment. She was fairly certain Ines would not be scared as long as she around, and the blonde knew full well she could not maintain a good relationship with somebody that Ines was frightened of. She silently prayed that her little sister would not be scared of Zephyr.
"She should be alright so long as I'm around. My little sis trusts me after all." That was when the thunder sounded and Nyla glanced up at the incoming clouds. "Yeah, I best get back to my little Miel before that comes in. She may get worried if I'm not home before the downpour starts. C'mon, let's run for a bit if your up for it." Nyla glanced back, waiting for confirmation to start running down the path since the sooner she returned to base the better.

Zephyr grinned.
"Up for it? You just tell me when to turn, i can get us there in no time flat."
He forced his muscles to change, increasing strength and stamina, it would last for about thirty minutes, but it would allow him to run, with both Nyla and Ember in his arms and on his shoulder respectively. He simply scooped Nyla up, and began to marathon job in the direction they had been headed, ember jumped onto his shoulder as he ran.
The little fox glared at Nyla with obvious jealousy.

When Zephyr grinned at her stated to merely inform him when to turn, Nyla cocked her head to the side in confusion. Naturally, she presumed he was just going to follow her, which would likely be a simple task for the man considering his well-tuned nose. The blonde looked at him for a few moments, her face still displaying complete confusion over the matter. Her ears pricked to the sound of more rumbling, causing her to glance back at the menacing black clouds rolling in. This caused the fox-eared girl to frown, the last thing she wanted was to spark worry for her sweet little sister, thus she turned back.
"What do you mean? Can't ya just follow me?" Nyla began before adding a playful tease. "Thought you had a super sniffer there, friend." Then suddenly she got scooped up. "Whoa! What are you doing?" She asked mostly out of confusion.
A mild blush tinted her cheeks, the last thing she had expected to occur today was getting carried. When Zephyr started to run, Nyla was thoroughly surprised and began to laugh. The blonde did not even notice the jealous glares from Ember that she was receiving, she was too busy being impressed.
"This is so rad! You're like The Flash!" They perhaps were not going that fast, but The Flash was one of the very few running superheroes that Nyla could think of off the top of her head. After her comment, she began to relay any necessary directions and found herself enjoying her fun little ride. However, all the while she wanted to burst into song and start singing Waiting for Superman by Daughtry; it was one of the very few superhero songs she knew.

He began to slow when she indicated they were close, grinning at her Flash comment.
"Yeah well, the flash cant carry people, he runs so fast, their skin would rip off, just from the friction with the air, its why he has to wear that horrible suit. Seriously, he needs to have a long chat with his costume designer. Red suit with a lightning bolt? Really? Only one superhero can pull of a red one piece, and that's Deadpool."
He set her down as they got the point they were within a few moments walk, and reset his muscles to their default. He felt the first splashes of rain at that point and, with a sweeping gesture, tucked Ember into a pouch as the water that hit her burst into steam.
"Get the place opened up for me, i might have to wait this one out...Might be a tornado risk..."
While rare, tornadoes had been spotted in the area in the past...

A giggle escaped Nyla's mouth when Zephyr mentioned how Deadpool was the only one capable of pulling off a red one-piece. The nerdy blonde could not deny the concept, Flash's garb did look pretty dorky with the yellow thunderbolts. Half the time when she saw it she merely saw something painted with ketchup and mustard; perhaps the creators were on a lunch break when deciding colours.
"Well, when I first think of super fast running I think Flash or the Road Runner. So it was either a superhero or you get called a bird." Nyla chuckled, remembering the speedy bird from the Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show. "I thought that calling you a Road Runner might have been a tad offensive. Anyways, you're totally right. How much you wanna bet they came up with Flash's colours during a lunch break?" Nyla joked, trying to earn herself a laugh.
Once they stopped, she was set back onto her own two feet. Easily, the blonde steadied herself and took a glance around the city area, her yellow eyes catching a familiar home. The first few droplets of rain fell, one hitting her cheek and rolling down a little. The wind had begun to howl, ruffling her short blonde hair and blowing her wind breaking against her; it made her feel cold. When Zephyr mentioned a possible tornado, Nyla tensed a moment, she needed to get to her little sister.
"On it! Ugh, I shouldn't have left her along for so long," Nyla said.
Due to her lack of exhaustion, the blonde was capable of sprinting forward at full speed, her years of sports keeping her rather strong. Nyla had always been built for running, thus in a few moments she was at the front door and already working the door open. It took a few moments, the front door was probably finicky after spending months in the post-apocalypse. She put her shoulder into it and the door swung wide open, but the sudden opening did not unbalance Nyla. Her yellow eyes got to work scanning the area with tentative ears.

Her joke about the lunch break was funny in its own way, and he chuckled. He followed behind her more sedately, and when she had to force the door, he immediately began thinking of ways to fix the door, although he honestly felt it might be safer to move locations entirely, the area was obviously a risk zone, and lacked anything he would call a defense. He immediately thought of a small three bedroom on the edge of the city, it had a large privacy fence surrounding about a half acre of perfectly farm-able land, and it was empty, and had been boarded up and winterized before the residents fled. He could probably get the small generator running enough to get water running too...
He stepped inside behind her, his own eyes and ears searching for signs of danger. Which they found in the form of a large group of animals moving towards their position. He didnt waste breath on words and simply pushed Nyla forward and slammed the door behind them.
"Right, so, sorry to intrude? But i cant tame a group larger than ten individuals..."

Earning a laugh for her Flash joke made a small smile upon Nyla's face. Hearing Zephyr laugh was pleasant, even if it was at a silly superhero joke. Her smile did not last, but for a mere moment since it was time to be serious again. Forcing the door open was the a minor struggle to get into her base, but the teen felt that she was forgetting something significant. There was little time to ponder the idea as she walked forward and was welcomed by a hallway and the sound of scampering. That was when her memory returned, they had moved a few days ago. She felt herself get pushed further into the building, causing her to glance back at Zephyr.
"Umm, I made a mistake," she said. Tones of embarrassment were in her voice alongside a mild red tint on her cheeks. "We moved a few days ago." That was when she heard Zephyr mention that he could not tame more than 10 animals. With a quiet voice, she kept speaking. "Uh, should we leave then? I know the storm is right on our heels, but if there is more than 10 of them it won't be a good time. Cause I don't know about you, but if it's a rat horde or somethin' this may get iffy." Nyla suggested, uncertain of their odds.
It seemed like a pretty large group and it was difficult to say what other monstrous creatures could be hiding within the walls of the house. The point was the entire occasion was not going to be fun, and Nyla wished she was not being forgetful today. Her ears remained pricked and she felt tense as she heard the scuttling and the scratching. She wondered if the creatures were aware of their intruders, or were merely indifferent to their presence.

He blinked...she had forgotten they had moved? Well this was going to get dicey, Ember could handle getting wet, but her burning hot body didn't do well when cold and wet, but they had to get out of here.
"Hold on, I'm gonna try something. Hold Ember for me, and keep her close, or you might freeze."
He passed Ember over, and then he closed his eyes and the temperature began to drop, and drop quickly. The water on his clothes began to frost, then ice over, the sound of rain outside suddenly sounded like BB pellets hitting the ground as the rain drops froze, and the sound of animals in sudden panic was audible through the door.
"Run, I'll follow, but keep Ember close, she can keep you from freezing."

Fear mingled in with guilt as Nyla stood stalk still in the hallway, she had just led them somewhere dangerous. The blonde was not completely certain what to do about the current situation, but she knew it was definitely not a good one to be in. She mentally cursed herself for getting them into this precarious situation, how could she forget about moving from this ramshackle house.
When Nyla heard Zephyr speak, she gave a small nod. "Also, I'm so sorry. This is totally my bad."
Cautiously, Nyla took the black fox from Zephyr, holding her close, but making certain not to squish her. The air around them grew cold, but it seemed Ember managed to keep her warm. The blonde looked down at Ember, making certain that she was not making the fox uncomfortable. Nyla's ears pricked to the sound of something tapping on the ground and watched as her breath came out as steam. This caused her to spare a glance at her companion whose clothing was now iced over. When he told her to run, Nyla she hesitated before nodding. The teen decided it was best to instead leave through the backdoor, it had always been less finicky than the front one. With that in mind, she weaved through the hallway and headed towards the kitchen where with a swift hand she managed to open the back door. The teen made certain to keep a firm grip on Ember, even glancing down a couple of times to make certain the creature was alright.
Carefully, Nyla bounded down the small set of stairs and onto the grassy backyard, her eyes catching the broken gate that hung by its hinges. It had long been pushed to the side where nature had taken a firm grip on the gate. The teen ignored the increased rain and ran towards the open gate that led to the filthy back alleyway. There she waited a few moments, glancing back to see if Zephyr was following.

Zeph waited for her to get ahead start, then followed, maintaining the deep chill, so that his approach was heralded by the arrival of sleet, instead of liquid rain. When he saw her, he nodded, and motioned for her to continue, he would keep the cold up, until they neared her actual base.
Ember was not exactly pleased to be held by the girl, but she hated getting wet, because when she cooled down, the Firefox went almost catatonic and was out for days until her body heated back up.
Zephyr Followed them both, at times using his bow to drop animals who strayed too near, as much as it pained him to do so.

The few moments she waited were quiet other than rain falling down to the ground and rippled in freshly formed puddles. Nyla did her best to keep the black fox she held dry, there was absolutely no use in them both getting wet. As she stood in the alleyway, the rain suddenly transformed to sleet, causing her to slightly tighten her grip on Ember. She then saw the bringer of the sleet, Zephyr who nodded for her to continue. Her ears flattened to her head, and she nodded and began to continue her run down the alleyway and into the streets. There were growls, the sound of arrows being loosed and whistling through the air until they thudded into something. The blonde kept silent, focusing on her running and breathing as her legs carried her a long distance.
It was not a far distance, naturally moving very far away seemed like a horrendous idea. Her yellow eyes searched until they caught sight of a large wooden fence by a two story house with boarded windows. She pushed herself a little more and despite her tiredness her feet carried her further. She glided up the steps, two at a time and slipped her hand into the mailbox on the porch and grabbed the spare key. The porch's overhead kept her safe from any falling rain. With the utmost quickness, she slid the key into the door and turned for it open. There was no major push to open the door, which was something she was thankful for. Nyla took a couple of steps into the house, loosening her grip on Ember in case it was safe for her to leave her grip. Her ears pricked, searching in the silence for her the location of her precious sunshine.

Zephyr was slower than she was, but he moved quickly enough, however, by the time he caught up completely he had a very different expression from the one he had had before. His face bore no emotion, only a cold distance in his eyes, a flat frown, and a slackness that indicated a completely lack of compassion.
It was not a face he put on because he did not care, but side effect of turning off his emotions, so that the killing of the animals didn't drive him over the edge. Killing humans who were after him was one thing, but the animals...the animals didnt know what they were doing, they were acting on instinct and impulsion.
He stepped inside the house, turned, and loosed his second to last arrow into what may have at one time been a dog or coyote, now it was a six legged monstrosity that was almost nothing but a head with gaping jaws. The creature squealed like an angry pig and fell over thrashing, the arrow embedded deeply into its left eye.
Zeph sat down once the door was closed and shut his eyes, breathing slowly and evenly.
"Nice place. It got a pool?"

A sense of security came over Nyla once she was in the safe confines of her home base. Her ears pricked to the sound of Zephyr's footstep, causing her to turn around. That was when the blonde's yellow eyes caught a glimpse of his face and her heart fluttered in worry. Silently, the teen watched as he loosed two more arrows at the mutated animals following them like moths drawn to a flame. Nyla kept watching him, and once the door was closed she released Ember from her grasp with the presumption that she no longer had to hold her.
The teen's ears flicked to banish the water that coated them, and for a few moments she merely watched, for once uncertain of what to say. Once he spoke, Nyla stood silent for a few moments before closing the distance and crouching. She ignored the question entirely despite the joke she could make to lighten the mood, she was far too concerned.
Her hand reached out to gently touch his face, a look of concern on her face. "Are you alright?" She began quietly in a comforting voice, but notes of concern touched her voice. "Did you get hurt?" Soon, she found herself going in for a hug, she thought it may be a tad comforting after what had happened. "I'm sorry I messed up back there. If you're hurt or need to talk, I'm right here."
She still felt a sense of guilt over her mistake, and wanted to make everything better, even if it was impossible. The concern over her companion's well being would not cease, and she cared not for the coldness. For now, she wanted to see him smile again instead of the grim emotionless face she had witnessed when entered the house.

Zeph didnt even tense at the hug.
"I cant actually feel it, the pain they feel, but sometimes...it feels like i do. I just have to shut down my heart so to speak, when i kill animals. Even the ones so mutated they are no more than monsters out of nightmares. They didnt ask for this. Maras was human working. Maras makes them unable to think clearly. When i kill people, its always in self defense, like with the animals, but they at least are able to think, to reason out whether i am a threat or not. Animals...they cant control it anymore. Its like killing a child because they are throwing a tantrum."
He had never told anyone this, mostly because he rarely spoke to anyone, outside of his business dealings in the settlement, but also because others might think he would betray them for the animals. and in truth, given a choice between the settlement and one of the few Maras Beast colonies that were proper groups, he would choose the Beasts, as they at least left him to his devices.
"Is your sister here? you should check on her, i just need to rest a moment, using my power so much is a tiring."
