What an absolutely disgusting display of "skill" come back when you think you're actually worth something. ▼ NOTES:Notewords | Well that was a thing. Axel had her laughing and making jokes back at him. He smirked just for a second before letting it fall back to his neutral deadpan. "Nah, Mule. You just kick, headbutt and bray at everything." He argued back. He was still being playful about it and the only marker that he was would be that mischievious glint that showed in his eyes for just a second before turning back to her completely. He didn't answer to the detriment joke, but instead, raised an eyebrow. He still fought with all his reasons for that, but it was his own, personal battle. There was nothing anybody could do to ease the deepset paranoias that had been seeded into him since childhood.
"Well. If I ever couldn't take care of myself, I'd hope you wouldn't leave my ass to bleed out." Axel stated bluntly, an eyebrow still raised at her as she spoke on about loyalty and striving and all that. Eyebrow finally being met at the same level by it's twin, he gave Yara a slightly surprised look. "And we have a development." Was all he spoke out before shaking his head. "You're making growth much faster than I anticipated you would. Luckily, things worked out and you trusted me more than I thought you would with your past." He could easily spout it off to anybody else out there, but he wouldn't do that. It was still a risk Yara took, she even got ballsy enough to make contact with him instead of falling to her knees in a stubborn fit to refuse his help.
Things were changing much faster, and this was a good thing. It means that she probably wouldn't be as tough for him to crack as he initially thought. Good. |

I am immune to you. You are immune to me.
We are both sick souls with the same disease. Surprise crossed Yara’s face, this was gnerally not something she was used to, but she wasn’t going to regress. The only option she had if she wanted something better was to grow and progress and he had applied the pressure that her stubborn self needed to let go of the boiling anger, self loathing and disappointment inside. He had given her an outlet and a goal and had from her seat given her the keys to unbinding her shackles that anchored her down. If he, of all people, could find something worth investing in, in her then it was really quite asanine to tell them they were wrong when that’s all she ever really needed.
Now whether or not this was a consious understanding of hers was doubtful. The subconsious however knew what it needed and wanted. She didn’t need silly emotions like love, that required too intimate an involvement that the subconsious would rationalize as unwanted material. No, what this young woman needed was a resolute and unwavering belief that she could do more than spend her life kneeling in the dirt at the feet of lesser men and women. It rationalized that Axel was that driving force whether intentionally or not that was propelling her forward and teaching her that she should walk with her head raised instead of bowed down.
He was unrelenting in his expectations and it was that constant reminder that his force of will was moving the stubborn mule forward whether she liked it or not. So in this instance, if only for today, she had relented in her braying and allowed him to lead her where he had intended. His words, that had once stung like a cleansing solvent now soothed her raw wounds. It comforted her that if someone as unrelenting and intimidating as him could strive to reach her that maybe she was were she finally belonged and it was safe for her to come out of the shell she had built.
“Lukily for you,” she said snarkly “this mule is full of suprises”
She deemed the time for emotional speeches was over and the fatigue was beginning to catch up with her. She allowed Jett to come out of the shadows and it pooled over the stone silently. He moved behind her so that his back was against the wall and he pulled rested a large arm across her body and pulled her in close. Her sarcastic mask fell again she she let him bundle her up like a parent gorilla would bundle up their young for warmth and safe keeping. Her face still held some of the features and innocence of a child but the years of pain and her age beginning to finish maturing her blended the lines to the woman she was. It was the face of an abandoned child but also the face a strong and independent woman who would manage to stand on her own two feet alone if she had to; but that was the point of all of this. She didn’t have to do it alone and in realizing that Axel was as much her support as he was her Master began to formulate within her a fierce desire to strive to be the same for him.
That task was going to be much harder she concluded.
“Do you want me to take first watch?” she questioned from her reclining postion against Jett who sat silent and stoic evaluating the man across from them.
Jett was connected to Yara’s subconsious and where she may not have known what was going on in the back burner he did. Yara’s desire to protect those she cared about washed over to him and he was ready to stand guard over the two of them. It was a guarantee that he would put Yara’s safety first but with the emotions rolling around in Yara it was quickly turning into Axel being the second priority for the familiar.

What an absolutely disgusting display of "skill" come back when you think you're actually worth something. ▼ | Axel laid back in one smooth motion, tucking his arm under his head as he rolled onto his side, summoning a massive bear to lay at his back, putting Axel between him, Yara and Jett. "Don't worry about watch. The familiars will handle it." And they would, at least Mot would. He wasn't too sure about Jett, but he trusted the gorilla to stay awake and vigilant with ease, just as his own bear was so used to doing.
The large, black and brown bear lifted his head and shook it, huffing at Axel, earning a swat on the nose. They appeared to be having an argument, by the way Mot was continuously pressing his snout into his master, and Axel was pushing on the large nose to remove the drooling, snot blowing animal out of his ear and jaw. "Dammit I fucking said no." He earned an irritated sound in return before locking eyes with Mot, staring at each other for a while before they went back to their own thing.
"You need your energy, we're moving as soon as we wake up, unless it's a hurricane outside." He was doubtful for, it wasn't hurricane season. In fact, the jungle shouldn't be raining this much at this time of the year, so they just happened to come along on the one day it was raining. |

The two watched in bemusement at the elder pair squabbling internally amongst themselves. As Jett sent a reassuring wave of emotion through letting her know he would not sleep. To further prove his point her forced Yara’s head down onto his gently and she didn’t fight it as she snuggled affectionately into the gorillas warm arms.
She had let the fire die down to an ember while they had talked and her clothes were fairly dry by now. She stifled a yawn as Axel spoke trying hard to stay awake to listen to him. When he was done he recieved a mumbled “yes sir” before her breathing evened out and her body slackened.
Jett hadn’t seen her this relaxed when falling asleep, in fact she had never been this loose before. Jett made some soft cooing sounds at her pressing his large fingers affectionately into her cheek to ensure she wasn’t awake.
Then looking to Axel gave a few assertive grunts indicating that he was going to be vigilant with the bear.
