"I don't even know what I did! And he just left without saying anything else!" Ember huffed, glaring at the ground. She had left her house in a fit after her.. conversation with Lee, and found Flint a more comforting presence than him at the moment. "I just told him I joined that spite hunting class! Its smart to go, but he just decides to scold me for trying to do something for him?"
Flint was sitting there, silently looking at nothing when the mention of just the word spite made him flinch, his ears pointed up and he took a second to comprihend what his friend had said. Spite... Hunting...? His head snapped towards her, brows furrowing in worry as she continued to complain. She was going to try and hunt spites? After everything- there was no way! The green gro hopped up from where he was sitting, quickly signing "What??" In response, confused and wanting to verify what she had said.
Ember paused in her rant as Flint moved in front of her, eyes flicking between his claws and his face. "What? I joined that spite hunting class that one of those bird weirdos are hosting." She tilted her head slightly as she looked at him. Why does he looked so worried?
"But why??" He responded, his mouth curving into a frown as he continued. "Spites are so horrible! Why would you hunt them willingly? They're gone now that the new Nova Tree is here-"
"That doesnt mean they'll be gone forever!" Ember huffed, her tailing beginning to lash behind her. Flint too? Why can't they just see how this is the only solution! "All the times we've been attacked by spites the Nova Tree was still here! If I can help lower the danger of them, I will!"
"But Ember- Do you know how dangerous that is-" He looked at the scars littered on his best friend's body, all from those terrible Spites... He couldn't even imagine what happened even though he had it explained to him- he wished he could have been there to help, or do something to prevent the damage that had been done... Flint shook his head to get back on topic. "Look what they did to you! To us! Ember you can't take that class, what if-" His mind wandered, what if...something happened, oh chii, what if she got hurt again, what if she lost a leg- or got blinded, she could be killed, gone in the blink of an eye and he wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
"Thats exactly why I'm taking the class." Ember looked at her paws, determined. If I take that class, its one less spite in the world, one less spite to hurt someone else, someone important-
She shook her head, looking back to Flint. "I need to learn to fight if I don't want others being hurt like me! If I learn to fight then you won't be hurt again either, Flint!" He had his own scars, scars she could've prevented, she wished he could see.
"No!" He snappily signed back, no she couldn't do this- there were too many possibilities- she could never come back, why didn't she get it? Couldn't she just let the other Wyngrew handle it! So many things could happen, he couldn't even- she could get hurt again, she could disappear! What if- what if another Deelagun showed up and chose her as it's target, he knew they were rare but it could happen! A yittle could bite her tail or another KINDRIN could pick her up and- or even a Weeper, she can't get high enough to even encounter one but it's Warptide so who knows what could happen! His expression tightened along with his chest, almost to a painful degree. His signing became shaky and more different to understand, "Y-You could die, or disappear- or get lost- or loose eyYee!"
Ember stared, reading his slowly deteriorating sign until it just looked like a jumped mess of waving. He really did look worried, but..
"I don't care! I have to do this Flint, and I have to do it for my family!" A memory of Lee's shaking paws and pained eyes tried to surface but she pushed it down. "This is for the best, and I won't change my mind! I'm going to learn how to protect you all better and thats it!"
He recoiled almost immediately at the tone in her voice, jerking his hands to his chest and looking down at the dirt underneath him. She sounded angry... had he made her angry? Oh no, this wasn't meant to happen- had he lost his tempter and said too much? Was he the angry one? This was all his fault- now she'd be going to the class all alone- the thought of the idea made him quiver worse- no no no this couldn't happen- not again not-
A thought occurred.
Shakily inhaling, he kept his eyes on the ground and signed "I'm going with you."
Ember blinked, staring at him silently as he signed.
No.
No, he didn't, he couldn't. Flint wouldn't.
"No." She managed to spit out the word, a familiar feeling rising up at the thought of Flint in the class. Scared, skittish Flint, in the middle of the woods, free to be attacked. He couldn't.
"No you're not."
He hesitated- but wouldn't give in, if she was going to do it, he was going to do it too. He had to be there- what if something happened, he could probably do something, stop her from getting hurt worse... He couldn't let her get hurt again. Shaking his head, he replied. 'I am.' That was his final decision. His mind wouldn't be changed.
