"Okay, hold on!" Aura held out her hands, shifting the air and sending alot more water down the drains, alot more water than the galehound could've handled, but she was a master of the wind after all. She was supposed to be skilled.
She turned back to Jet and smiled. "I just came by to visit, and I was wondering... If... You wanted to do something with me?" She asked softly, her smile getting wider.

That did it. Jet's ears flattened and he turned away, going back to flaring up his flames and shooting them out in waves at the wall, sending more water cascading down. "Aura...wouldn't that be kind of wrong?" he asked coldly. It was hard to hear him over the sound of the fire and the galehound's wind and all the other teams working down here. But Jet knew with Aura's wind master abilities she'd be able to figure it out eventually.

Aura looked down at the icy floor, a sad look in her eyes, why did she always have to be the one to screw things up? It always seemed to get worse when she tried to make it better...
"But... It's gonna be my birthday tomarrow... ...I wanted to spend it with my best friend..." Her voice was very low, almost impossible to hear, but Jet would've heard it, Aura's abilites would've let the words drift to his ears, it would've sounded just like a whisper to him, but he would've heard everyword.
"I just thought... It'd be nice to spend my birthday with my first friend..."
((Thish makes meh sad...))

Jet gave a harsh laugh. The galehound perked her ears at this, but she was busy shoving back the water still. Aura wasn't helping so much anymore, and Jet was still melting the ice as he spoke next. "You wouldn't want to spend it with your family, maybe?" Jet asked. "Honestly, Aura..."
He sighed and stopped, the flames dying down sharply. The exhausted galehound gasped as she looked up at him. "I'm gonna go take a break, that all right?" Jet asked her politely. She nodded and Jet left, grabbing Aura's hand as he went. "We should talk outside. Everyone in here has good ears," he whispered to her sideways.

"Okay..." She said slowly, still staring at the ground as she walked with Jet, thinking over things, all of her mistakes, she really screwed up didn't she?
When they got out of the tunnel and were able to talk without being overheard she left out a sigh and looked up at him. "Jet... Ty's my son, but Gyre isn't my family... You... are, I love you and I really screwed up... I've been told by lots of people to just grow up and act like an adult, but I never listened... I treated it all like it was just a game... But, I didn't want to lose my two friends... My only friends, I didn't want to lose you etheir... I couldn't have a kid with you at the time because you were still seventeen, and... that was the law, and GUN would've found out about the kid... and known about it being half Fellhound, and about you and Gyre... I just... I'm..." She hung her head, her eyes starting to water but she wasn't going to cry... Hopefully... She just didn't know anymore.

Jet choked and laughed. "You think I wanted to have a kid with you? Aura! I thought you knew me better!"
Jet rounded on her, grinning wide. Not exactly a happy grin. Not an angry or grim one either, just a grin, a daring grin. An amused grin. A cynical one. He seemed insensitive to the fact that she was almost in tears. "Though I fail to see the difference between you not wanting to have one with me but having one with Gyre. Anyways, point is. I'm mad at you for turning on me, sure. For choosing him over me. But more than that. You...it's the way you did it! You just sold yourself to him! Your body! That's sick and its wrong, girl! You didn't marry him or give me any sort of warning! You just...ulgh! It makes me sick just thinking about it. I'm mad that you would have treated yourself with so little respect, and that Gyre would have let you. And you can bet I sure as heck wouldn't have." He took a deep breath, and spoke firmly. "I would have done it right. Ring and everything. But then what? ...Would you be chasing after Gyre now instead of me?"

"No... and, I know that was wrong... I really do, I didn't realise that until after..." She wiped her tears away slowly and looked back up at Jet, she still felt really sad, but, she'd messed up alot. "If I had told you, that I wanted to have a kid with Gyre, you would've freaked out anyway... That's the truth, you know it..."
She turned her head and stared down one of the streets. "I know it's been seven years... I just want you to forgive me... I want Ty, but not... Gyre..."

Jet shook his head stubbornly. "I would have taken it just fine, thanks. You really don't know me... If you had married him properly, made me best man or something...it would still hurt. But that would have been better than..."
He cut himself off and pursed his lips, turning away. He looked out over the icy village, the sun flashing off the snowy ground. "I do forgive you. But Aura...I hope you'll understand this. It's too late, girl! I'll be your friend. But you will not leave Gyre for me. Not for me..." He shook his head, eyes cold. "Even if you technically have left him already... But don't you leave him for me. Because I won't take you. It's over for us. I'll be your friend, but...I'm afraid that's all I can handle. It's been a few years, and quite frankly I've grown up since then. I'm ready to move on. Are you?"

"But... I'm... not... r-ready... I was always taught that there's only one person in the world that you should be with forever, and in order to do that... You need to love them... I don't love Gyre... I love you..." Aura looked away, her eyes watering up again as she started to cry this time, not bothering to wipe away the tears from her face.
"I'm supposed to be some great leader, making the best choices possible... But... I'm not, my grandmother was better than me... and, Hurricane Tribe leaders are only allowed one chance at real love... otherwise they'll never find someone else if they waste... it..." She shook her head slowly.
"I don't want Gyre... I want you... I don't care what you say... It's my choice, I've grown up too... and I won't back down from my decisions... after all... I'm a leader right? A princess of the Hurricane Tribe? The great master of the winds, this is my choice... and you won't tell me what to do..." She looked away, couldn't say anymore, this hurt her alot, she'd spent so much time with Jet and because of one little mistake she made he was telling her that it was time to move on? She didn't want that to happen...

((This is Pyran's post that she sent me over IM because she can't post because the site's acting screwy on her computer.))

Jet watched her, saying nothing for the moment. Then he let out a soft huff, glaring at the ground. "Yes, Aura. You...are a princess!" He said it with sarcasm and laughed at the end of it. "But you're not my ruler. You can't make me love you back. We clear on that?"
He straightened and faced her with folded arms. Well...until he slowly extended one hand for her to take if she so chose. "Friends. Nothing more. Take it or leave it."
((Jet's not giving in that fast. He's...well honestly he is still ticked, but at the same time he has moved on and it would take a lot of time for him to get interested again.))

((This is my post.))
Aura couldn't stop her tears, she couldn't stop crying, but this was Jet's choice and she couldn't do anything about it. She couldn't control him like she did the wind, and certainly had no affect on his decisions.
Reaching out she slowly took his hand, and stared down for a moment before looking back up at him, her tail flicking slightly, she wiped away her tears with her free hand. "... Okay..." She forced out, like her mind made her speak unwillingly.
Aura didn't know what to do now, she'd thought that being with Jet forever was how her life was going to end up, but, it wasn't was it? In her mind she slowly started to piece things together, Hurricane Tribe leaders and Fellhounds simply didn't mix did they? Would that mean that it was just a accident that she had Ty then?
She glanced up, letting go of Jet's hand, she wondered if her Grandmother had ever wanted something, something that she couldn't have no matter what she did. She'd been named after her grandmother, even looked like her in almost everyway... But she wasn't as strong, as wise... As understanding... Auren, we're different aren't we? How much different? Did you make mistakes like I did? Life wasn't all fun and games for you, no fun adventures with your friends... You had to give all that up just to be leader, and then to fight the Fellhounds... What did you lose then...?
"Jet... You said it's time to move on... You're right, but... It's bad to even be with you... I'm your friend, Gyre's friend too... But I'm not going to stay here, with anyone, not with you, not with Gyre or Ty... I want to rebuild the Hurricane Tribe... I want to like my Grandmother Auren, a skilled warrior and wise leader, even through she's the one who fought the Fellhounds... But I want to rebuild the tribe... I can't do that with Gyre... So... I'm going to leave him... and Ty, he's my son... But, I can't..."
((o.O, I've got this whole werid idea... Aura's gonna try to rebuild her tribe, maybe in a different area since there's no grasslands, but yeah she's gonna rebuild the "all" feline tribe. Maybe look for a few who have ancestors of it, but meh, also I'm gonna start writing books on the tribe, maybe I'll start with Auren? She's my favourtie leader of them between her and Terra. XD))

Jet flattened his ears, frowning. "That'll break Ty's little heart," he mused, not exactly meaning the words to hurt her, but they probably would... And Gyre's heart would be broken again, but the galehound's heart had been broken enough times he probably wouldn't feel it anymore. And Jet's heart had fully healed--or...at least it had been carefully taped back together. He intended to keep it that way....
"Hm." Jet paused, thinking as he looked skywards. "Don't tell the other fellhounds. Though...do you think our kind can be friends this time? Maybe? If we try...?"
((Yea, they were all pretty sweet. ^^ Have fun! I like the idea of the newly-made Hurricane Tribe.))

((Ish gonna be hard, through, they would probably have to be exceptions through with elements.))
"That'd be great... I'd love that..." She smiled, but then suddenly thought of Ty, Aura was planning on taking him onto her ship for a little adventure. But, if she was going to do this, she couldn't take him along... Or, could she?
"Speaking of Ty... I think, it'll be best... If I take him with me, some mother and son bonding." She turned, ears twitched, listening to all the sounds coming and going throughout the village. "Ty!! Gyre!!" She called, letting her voice travel through the air currents. Gyre would know where it came from, so he'd easily find her.

"Do you really have to call them with me here?" Jet protested sharply, taking a step back and his muzzle wrinkling up in the beginnings of a snarl. But he cut himself off fast, glaring at the ground. "Oh, and yea, I'm sure Gyre would love that," he muttered sarcastically with a sudden smirk.
((Lol! Jet's turned into a little cynical smart-mouth. Probably influenced by the books I've been reading lately. We'll have to fix that part of his personality later.))
Gyre eventually came down the icy path with Ty at his heels. The blue-furred half-feline fellhound wasn't smiling for once. Ty could sense moods, and Gyre's was low, so Ty's was rather the same. Being around Jet didn't help...
"Uh...hi Aura," Ty said finally. Gyre perked his ears up as they came to a stop, and the galehound finished the conversation. "What's going on?" Gyre made a point of not acknowledging Jet, though the flamehound was watching Gyre curiosly.

"I'm going to be heading back to my ship soon for a little trip... aannnddd..." Aura smiled and glanced down at Ty, this would probably surprise the kid as she had never said anything like this before. "I was wondering if I could take Ty with me!" She said happily, he wanted an adventure after all, so she could take him along, there wasn't really anything wrong with that after all, since Aura didn't do anything that could get her killed anymore, or... Atleast that's what she let everyone think.
