RP takes place on the island in the middle of the grape soda river.
Numas in play: Ness and Fiara
Ness was lounging in the tree on the island that stood strong and proud in the middle of the soda river. Ness had taken to going there lately. As the days of summer were getting warmer and warmer; she thought hte breezes coming up from the rushing sweet water were refreshing. Just what she needed to cool her off. A leg hung off one side of the thick branch, and her tail drooped down off the other.

"It's so hot!" Fiara exclaimed to herself out loud, she had been wandering through Numa land and was now heading home, brushing her right paw across her brow dried the sweat there, but didn't make her feel any cooler.
Below the Grape soda river glistened and glittered in the falling light and even though she disliked swimming, a drink sounded good and so down from the sky she came and landed at the river's edge.

Ness had been just leaning against the body of hte tree. Her eyes watching clouds and the river go by. Then, something caught her eye. She stood up on the branch. She tried to peer, but she couldn't tell for sure. "Hey! You there!! Are you ok? Your hand looks like it's on fire! Do you require medical attention?" She pointed. She wasn't even sure she could be heard. She felt like maybe it was time to save the day again.

Leaning back up from her drink feeling only slightly more refreshed, Fi heard a voice calling and looked around. "Huh?"
Spotting the lovely light blue numa pointing at her from a tree, Fiara moved closer to hear what was being said, brushing her bangs back from her face with both hands revealed patches of grayed fur on her face, old scars now healed. No, she didn't require medical attention, she was a child of the Fiery and her flame was a part of her, it didn't burn her nor others, it was special.
"I'm sorry I didn't quite catch what you said?" Fiara smiled as she moved into the shade of the tree and looked to the female with happy eyes.

Ness rubbed her eyes. She realized right then that she wasn't seeign things. She fluttered down from the tree. "YOUR HAND IS ON FIRE!!!" She looked a bit disconcerted. She also was confused like the girl was being all ok about it. She didn't realize that was just a part of her. Even though, it did vaguely remind her of Kitsune.

Fiara blinked once and then giggled lightly, she nodded and smiled composing herself before speaking, "Umm, It's not burning me, it's always been like this."
That sounded lame even to her, but she never really thought about how to explain it, "My da, he's fiery you see and I got it from him." Like it was a gift. Fiara knew that other numa didn't go about their lives on fire, but she also didn't think that her being aflame was so strange, she was not to wise yet in this matter.
"I, umm, does it, isn't it freaky?" Holding her limb out from her body she looked into the warm fire and wiggled her fingers, the fur underneath was perfectly fine and there was not a smidgen of grayness to it, not like her other limbs that were marred with patches of gray, it had been a while since she had played with fire and she wasn't about to start again any time soon, showing off though, crossed her mind, like bad conscious whispering on her shoulder.

Ness walked up to her and put her paw as close to the flame as being safe as she could. She then realized it didn't really burn her. When she tried to stick a finger into it it, it singed a bit of her fur. The smell made Ness think of liquid sucker sugar. "Ohh.... Well, that's cool. Um... You don't have to be a freak. I just never saw anything like that before. If you're a freak, then I must be a geek. Cuz, numa are always like... why do you take your controller with you.. when you can't use it outside your house..." Ness just shrugged with a half sheepish grin. "We can't help who were are..."

"I like being freaky, really, I've embraced it, because she taught me to." Fiara smiled admitting this and then tilted her head to one side not knowing at all what a controller was. "Controller?" She had noticed the wristband and white object that the female carried but had dismissed them as accessories, she would be quite surprised to learn that they in fact did something.
Fiara smiled again and agreed with that, "Not only that, but we should like and accept who we are." Fiara shifted a little trying to stay in the shade that the tree provided, the breeze was nice too and she felt a little cooler than she had before, but she was still over hot from the day's heat.

The pupils of Ness's eyes widened and softened. She smiled. "You are totally right. We should like and accept who we are. You are so right." She liked meeting people who had those type of things to say. It reminded her of things that were important, aside from having fun.
Then, she slid her wiimote out of her wristband. She held it up in the air. "This is a wiimote. It is what I use to play the video games at my house. I don't know why I carry it around with me. It's not like it will do anything outside of using it on my game.. but, I suppose if someone were trying to hurt me.. I could throw it at them like a projectile.. but, then i'd be sad if it broke from that..." Wow, did that sound a little rough? Ness thought maybe that sounded a little violent.

"Well I didn't get this smart on my own," She laughed as she continued to smile, "not at all." Fiara moved closer to look at the wiimote she brought up her left hand and touched it, there were buttons and a strap, it looked interesting. "So it's for self defence and games too? How useful!" Fiara knew that some numa were more prone to violence, she'd not encountered any but what this numa had said made her think, would Fi be able to defend herself just as she was if she needed to, she looked down at her hand as she thought. "I can understand that, I don't want to hurt anyone, but if it came to defending myself or someone else, you do what you have to, that's what I think is right." Fiara laughed and fiddled with her hair again a little nervous at thinking that way.
"I'm Fiara by the way, it's nice to meet you."

Ness nodded and smiled. "I'm Ness. I hope I don't sound like I go around looking for fights, but I had an unfortunate situation occur some short while back. At the beginning of summer... I decided since then maybe I should consider how to handle myself in that situation should it happen again. I mean.. I try to avoid the swamps if possible. I still have some other coffee friends, so it can be hard to stay out of there completely."
She rubbed her arm and slid her wiimote back into her wristband. Her tail flipped around her feet. The more Ness looked at her, Fiara reminded Ness of the night sky and the time she went swimming with Twilight.

"Oh I didn't get that impression." Fiara shook her head, "I don't see anything wrong with practicing self-defense. Did you say it was a Coffee? My brother and my uncle have had bad dealings with a Coffee." She had heard about it second hand and couldn't do anything about it as it was in the past, "More my brother I guess, Jayce doesn't get along well with others to begin with." Here Fiara gave a nervous laugh, here she was worrying about her brother again, instead of searching him out and seeing for her self how is was.

Ness hearing Jayce's name was like nails on a chalkboard to her. She squeezed her hands like bracing herself for a shot at the doctor's office. "Oh.. yeah I bet... No offense to you, but in the few run ins with him that I have had. He has been rather abrasive and rude. I didn't know you were related to him. I must say that I like you better already." Ness wasn't sure if she was running her mouth too much so she decided to just change the subject.
"Yeah... for a candy, I suppose I have had numerous meetings with coffees. There are at least 2 numa boys and 1 numa girl who I have considered friends, but one of those coffee boys are the one i mean. I dunno... I thought we were friends.. and he attacked me while I was having an outing with a friend. Ok. Well, he attacked my friend.. and i tried to save my friend.. cuz like. I'm gonna stand there while a big coffee is pulverizing him. Then, Jayce comes in at the end, whisking him away... oh like some big hero." Ness felt herself scorning again. She hated that Jayce showed her up as a hero among her friends. She ran both hands through her hair trying to force her mind to switch gears.

Fiara blinked, "I'm sorry if my brother has been, harsh, he." Fiara looked at Ness firmly, "He has his reasons for the way he is. That's not to excuse his behavior. If we can accept who we are, then we can accept that others are the way they are." In saying this Fiara also realizes reluctantly, that she must accept that her fiery father is the way he is, as well as her brother, with lowered eyes she adds. "Even if we don't want to."
Fiara attempted to follow what Ness said, all she got out of it was that Ness felt brushed aside, "Umm, I don't think it's my place really to add anything, but your friend and you and Jayce, even if you and Jayce don't get along, does that mean that you can't both be friends with what's-his-name. That doesn't mean all three of you hangout together at the same time, but really, he's your friend, continue to be his friend. Being attacked ruthlessly, that, I think would make a numa want to keep his friends close, not break them apart..."

Ness was collecting herself. Ness hated how easily much of her was still overly affected by what had happened that time. She wasn't all for emotional honesty with herself as she avoided dealing with deeper feelings she had. All of them frightened her. She thought she had been doing so well to move on from it all. This just made her see that some of it was just unresolved since she decided to just ignore it for a while.
Ness sighed. "Yeah well... I think that entire situation really changed a lot of things for me. I mean... I lost my friend who was the coffee who attacked us. I still don't really quite understand what that was all about anyways. I honestly haven't felt like talking to anyone I saw or who was there for what happened. I guess it's easier to just pretend it never happened... then to accept the outcome of it."
Then Ness started to chide herself. Here she was... just... pouring herself out to a stranger. How embarrassing. She wasn't looking much like a hero.. or even very cool at all. What was wrong with her, she asked herself. Normally, she introduced herself to people doing handstands... or dancing.. or something. Now, she wasn't doing anything impressive. She was starting to feel she has ruined what could be a good meeting.
