Animorphs: A New Beginning

[Cloak]

Hu snapped his head over to the thing using his friend, ignoring Nichole's words, and snarled, "How about we don't, filthy parasite?"

Hu still had his arms frozen and had not moved from his position.  He had not accepted any food or anything.  He was not hungry.  But he was angrier than he had been in his life.  He supposed that his tranformation had changed something deep down inside.  Hu continued to glare at the Yeerk using Kelran, perfectly prepared to attack, but also prepared to keep his emotions controlled.  He had to -- lest he become a Gigantofatalismilodon again, and literally give away the location of the cave.  And potentially deactivating some of the safeguards he placed around the place.

Emily had woken Cody so he could take something, and he was sipping an energy drink when Kressillet spoke.

"You know, Kelran's not too bad a ride. All he needs is a good saddle." He said, trying to mask his concern for Kelran. One of his hands was resting on the ground, and Emily stepped on it with her hoof. "Ow!" He yelped, as she glared at him as best as a buffalo could.

He continued as he rubbed his hand. "I've never actually talked to a Yeerk, but I figure you can't be too different from other aliens. What do you want to talk about?"

[traycon3]

"There's no harm in just talking," Nichole said gently to Hu. "Here. Have a sandwich." She took one out of the bag and held it out to Hu, waiting for Kelran's reply. She snorted when Cody made the comment. "Want to ride him again, eh?"

[Cloak]

Hu thanked Nichole, but refused the sandwich.  He had no desire for food at the moment.  He still didn't move from his spot, just outside the cave, where he stood standing.  His ears were flat on his skull though, and his tail was twitching hostilely.  Hu was still suppressing turning back into the beast, and he could control it, to a point.

[traycon3]

"Anyone else want a sandwich?" she asked. She was already mostly done with her first one, but she didn't want feel like the only one really eating.

[Cloak]

((Should we add that it starts raining during this?  I think it'll fit the mood -- or at least, Hu's mood.))

[Chad32]

Cody took not of Hu's behavior. Was he still stressed over the torture and all, or did turning into that thing affect his personality? He couldn't ask Hu to go take a walk and try to calm down. He was the one person there that could go head to head with Kelran alone and win. He would just have to take the chance, and try to focus on Kressillet.

Outside, the clap of thunder could be heard. Soon after, a light rain started to fall.

"Yeah, I'll take one." He said.

[traycon3]

"Ugh, I hate the rain sometimes," Nichole said. "What about you?" she asked Kelran/Kressillet. "And, seriously, you haven't told me if you wanted a sandwich."

[Kelran-Isthinar]

Kresillet shook his head. "Oh no.. that sort of food will not save me from the starvation I am fated to suffer."
He sounded ALMOST fleetingly like an innocent man resigned to his fate.
His next words shattered the illusion.
"Why so serious Hu? you have in effect saved Kelran.. OH! thats right... you could save your comrade, but you didnt have it in you to kill your own flesh and blood when he chose the opposite side. Pity. I wanted his promotion slot."

[traycon3]

"Kelran. Is Kelran hungry then?" she asked, smiling calmly. "I didn't buy all this food for nothing. Someone's gotta be hungry."

[Yarin]

Yarin opened three eyes and said calmly "I could stand to eat except I do not know what your food will do to me"

[traycon3]

"Are you allergic to anything?" she asked, scanning the ingredients list.

[Yarin]

"Not that I know of, however there is no way to be sure."

[Cloak]

Hu continued to glare at the Yeerk.  "You know, we don't have to wait for you to starve you know.  I can cut you out of there at any time. . . . This just seems the most painful for you, you filithy parasite."

Hu then turned to his right and glanced outside of the cave.  Then shut his eyes, resigned to his duty.  Truly accepting the fact that nothing could be as it was on Aruten.  Accepting the fact he may never be able to go back.  The only other Smilodite he would be able to see is Bened, but this did not please him.

[Kelran-Isthinar]

Kresillet laughed, "Oh let me remind you, you can not cut me out for the same reason that the Visser could not cut IN.
You would kill Kelran, instantly.
As for him wanting to eat? Oh he would quite literally kill for food and drink, but if I have to starve, so should he.
If I have to die, he should be forced to feel and see what I have to feel and see, and you should all be forced to deal with my words. Or are you all to cowardly for even that? Im afriad I have to warn you... Kelran does not place much confidence in your little resistance.
The words that come to his mind are 'under-trained, and under-manned, and in-experienced'."
