I am that merry wanderer of the night. [Complete]

[puck]

Puck gave Kamaria a friendly nuzzle and smiled. "Don't worry. I won't tell anyone."

[kamaria]

"Thanks," Kamaria said with a smile and returned the nuzzle.

"I dread to think what the others would say, me liking a way older tom. Especially Tumble, he's troubled enough as it is, this would probably upset him."

She sighed.

"Maybe the feelings will go away eventually. That would make everything much easier."

[puck]

"Easier isn't always better though." Puck replied, sitting down on a box and leaning against the building, welcoming Kam to do the same. "It may seem like everything is better for a while, but usually the feelings tend to return, stronger than before. Sometimes feelings like these are best dealt with, on your own time of course." She added, not wanting to appear to be pushing Kamaria to tell Skimbleshanks.

Puck had to agree where Tumble was concerned. "I spoke to Tumble for a bit and he reminded me a lot of myself when I was his age. But even with all my issues he did seem a bit more, innocent I guess. I'm not sure how he would react to you and his father being together, but I'm sure he would quickly see that it was a good thing."

[kamaria]

Kamaria sat down next to Puck with a small smile.

"You're probably right. I need to figure out what exactly I'm feeling and what I want first, though."

She nodded. "I hope you're right. IF I'm lucky with Skimble. Big if... But yeah. I'm afraid Tumble will probably explode at first, but hopefully he won't hate me forever."

[puck]

Puck nodded. "Figuring it out for yourself first is a good step. Much better than squashing down emotions you know are there or rushing into something when you're not sure."

"He won't. No one could hate you forever." She reassured. "Well, maybe if you were a crazy axe murderer. You're not a crazy axe murder, are you?" A raised eyebrow and a smirk.

[kamaria]

Kamaria nodded, and then grinned.

"Not as far as I'm aware, but maybe I'm schizofrenic without being aware of it!" she said with a mock gasp.

[puck]

"Hmm... Possible schizophrenic. Duly noted." Puck pretended to pull a pair of glasses down to the tip of her nose and take out a pad of paper and pen. "So. Whin ded you shtart havin' dese feelings?" She asked in a horrible attempt at a French accent, made even more horrible on purpose, and looking over her imaginary glasses.

[kamaria]

Kamaria snorted a laugh.

"Which ones, the tinglies or the scizo?" she said with a smirk.

[puck]

"Lets go for the schizo. I wanna know if I should expect to wake up dead some day." Puck replied sticking out her tongue.

"Nah. You can tell me anything you want to and nothing you don't. I'm a good listener. Better than a wall at least."

[kamaria]

Kamaria giggled. "I sure hope not! Offing a friend, a possibly future close one, even, would be rather stupid, wouldn't it?" she said with a grin.

Rubbing the side of her nose, she pondered.

"Not sure what else there is to say, really. I like someone I have next to no chance with. Story of my life. Except it's always jurt been crushes. Crushed crushes, so to say, I can deal with, but this time I think it might be more than a crush..."

Kamaria sighed and wiped a hand over her face.

"Thanks, by the way. And, I'm also a pretty good listener, I think, so if there's ever anything..." she smiled.

[puck]

"I think I'll be safe so long as I don't make you mad. Unless you're one of those irrational schizophrenic crazy axe murderers. Then I'm just screwed!" Puck threw her arms up and gave a small laugh.

She poked Kamaria gently in the shoulder. "Don't say that. There is a very strong chance that he does like you so none of this 'no chance' stuff, alright? And hey, one of us has to end up with someone, right? I have no prospects so it looks like it'll be you!"

"Nah, I don't think theres anything more to say about me. You already know more than more." She replied with a shrug and a smirk.

[kamaria]

Kamaria grinned. "I hope not! I'm too much of a softie to go 'round killing people!"

She smiled, then. "Thanks. Not sure about this 'strong chance' you talk of though. You barely know the guy, how would you know? And hey, you're lovely, I bet you'll meet someone. Just you wait and see. If not, well, then, maybe I'll just ditch Skimbleshanks and jump you instead!" Kamaria said, playfully returning the poke, a light jab in the ribs.

"Well, if anything ever comes up, don't hesitate to hunt me down. I've always got time for a friend in need."

[puck]

"Don't worry. I'll keep an eye out for any warnings signs and let you know." Puck returned the grin and winked.

"True, I don't know him, but I usually have a good sense with these things." She replied, tapping the side of her nose. "Not so sure what my chances are though. I can't keep friends, let alone someone who wants to be in a relationship with me. But if all it takes it getting Skimbleshanks out of the picture..." Puck trailed off and laughed, hoping Kamaria didn't see the slight blush that had crept onto her cheeks.

Puck gave a small smile. She couldn't remember the last time someone considered her a real friend. "Thanks. Same goes for you."

[kamaria]

"Thanks muchly!" Kamaria said happily, and then smiled.

"If you say so. And hey, be nice! Maybe he'll share!" she said jokingly, big grin on her face. Somebody ought to notice Puck. They'd be crazy not to.

"Thanks," Kamaria said, still smiling, and leaned against Puck's shoulder.

[puck]

Puck gave a small laugh and leaned on Kamaria as well. Today had gone rather unexpectedly, but the outcome was good for once. She was definitely starting to like it here.

"Anything for a friend." Her smile one of the most true and content ones she had had in a rather long time.

[kamaria]

Kamaria smiled happily, content to just sit there, cuddled up next to her new friend. The day had definitely improved drastically. She felt comfortable and at ease in the company of Puck. Oh yes, much much better end to the day than she'd expected.

"Damn straight," Kamaria said with a big smile.

[puck]

Puck let out a small chuckle before sitting in a happy silence, smile still on her lips. After a while she glanced up, noticing the moon was no longer quite as high in the sky.

"Didn't realize how late it was. Hope I didn't keep you up."

[kamaria]

Kamaria looked up at the moon, too. Time sure passes fast when you're not paying attention. She smiled.

"Nah. I'm a night-owl. I like staying up late, especially if the company is good."

[puck]

"And you got stuck with me. That bites." Puck replied jokingly.

Even though she'd probably regret what she had said in a day or so, she couldn't think of anyone better to have spent the night with.

[kamaria]

Kamaria gave Puck a playful shove.

"Don't say that," she said with a smile. "You make excellent company."

[puck]

Puck laughed at the shove.

"Well hey, small miracles." Puck replied, sticking her tongue out between her teeth. "I haven't made a complete dolt of myself yet."

[kamaria]

"Whaddayaknow, neither have I!" Kamaria said with a grin.

She was very good at saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, and also, she was a clutz. Ah yes, the Jellicle Ball was always interesting, since Kamaria was very much not a natural dancer.

[puck]

"Go us!" Puck gave Kamaria and herself a thumbs up and grinned. "Maybe one day we will beat the horrors of social awkwardness!"

She sat for a moment. "Maybe..." Puck made a face and started giggling. She was in a goofy mood all of a sudden.

[kamaria]

Kamaria laughed. "We're awesome. Maybe one day!" she said, and gave Puck thumbs up, too.

Bad mood? What bad mood? Loooong gone.

[puck]

"Yes, yes. One day. And then we shall take over THE WORLD!" Puck laughed evilly, right eye twitching. Then regained her composure and coughed.

"Ahem. Yes. Well..... Any thoughts on what to do in the meantime?"

[kamaria]

Kamaria laughed. And it shall be GLORIOUS," she said manically, pulling her best evil genius face, which, to be fair, was not very good.

She slung an arm over Puck's shoulder. "Hmm. The sensible thing would probably be to go to sleep, but I'm not tired," she said happily.

[puck]

"Oh yes, glorious indeed!" Puck replied, laughing at Kam's face.

"And yes, sleep would be the sensible thing, but wheres the fun in sensible?"

[kamaria]

"Exactemundo!" Kamaria said, then frowned, not quite sure whether or not that word ought to ever be uttered again, ever. Hm.

"We need shenanigans," she declared with a grin.

[puck]

"Shenanigans! Yes!" Puck perked up, excited. "No one would expect shenanigans at this hour so they'd be perfectly unaware!"

She sat and tapped her chin in thought. "But what to do..."

[kamaria]

Kamaria grinned. What to do, indeed, though? She pondered.

"We coooould.... Play a prank on someone?"
