Tiger nodded, and got to his feet. He then handed Fluff a rose.
"Here give this to Robert and tell him to give it to Drew. Those
two honestly need to get over their awkward stage before I make
Mira put them on a date." He said in amusement, and gently wrapped
the bouquet. He placed it in his bag.
~*~*~
Kibo blushed slightly, "you don't have to get me anything."
He said gently, and nudged her.
"Sure I do. Don't think I've forgotten, Kibo, that it's also
technically been ten years and three days since I left. Call it an
apology gift." Toka smiled affectionately, nuzzling him.
Tiger nodded and laughed in amusement, he then headed back into the
house.
~*~*~
Kibo blinked, and frowned, "honestly, I'm alright with
forgetting about that day. Especially
the day after you left." He said quietly, and looked
away as if he were hiding something from her.
Kibo blinked, and looked at Toka for a moment, he sighed and
shifted his weight. "Um. I-I honestly, don't think you'll like
what I have to say if I do tell you." He said guiltily.
"I might not like IT, but I'll still like YOU. Whatever you have
to tell me, please tell me," Toka blinked, now very concerned.
"Is it something to do with my leaving?"
Drew carefully dodged kicking Robert in the face, although she
probably accidentally hit in as she tried to stand. She reached for
her crutches. “Morning...?”
Kibo sighed heavily, and closed his eyes as he forced himself to
retell the story that Tiger told Mira. "Uh...a day after you
left, the colony blamed me for making you leave. I-I had two
choices, either fight the Poliwhirl we were friends with, or be
exiled. I couldn't fight them, so I was forced to leave." He
whispered quietly, a couple of tears were now sneaking past him.
"I-I lived alone for three years, and Tiger found me." He
whispered.
Tiger walked back inside, and waved to Drew before glancing at Kibo
and Toka with a frown. He decided against saying anything. Kibo
needs to explain this to her.
Kibo was still shivering in fear as he was brought back to the cold
and dark cave he stayed in. He took comfort in Toka's hug.
"P-please don't blame yourself for this. I-it's not your
fault." He whispered weakly, and kept his eyes closed.
