Description The sun was beating down overhead, the warmth seeping into Arie’s fur and despite it’s shaggy length it felt good. Her hands were shaking and she had to tighten her grip on the cone. She had a cone, an ice cream cone, her ice cream cone.

Tongue flicking out she took a quick lick, half expecting it to vanish in her hands. Jaw shaking, she savored the first lick. The flavor rolling over her mouth.

‘It’s good.’ She managed. To whisper. ‘Good.’'

C.S. Notes: It's been a while, but I finally got around to drawing Little Arie. A bunny tiger hybrid, she's had a hard time of life. So here is that happy moment that I promised people. Now back to the grim reality.

When you have nothing the smallest treat is a gift to be savored.
Example
My father grew up a city boy in the Great Depression. His father was crippled and an alcoholic making life hard in the family. His mother did her best but there were days with one meal between 5 family members. Every Christmas a relative living in California would ship them a crate of gold.
Oranges.
He would tear up remembering those oranges and how they savored every drop even the peel.
They would be gone and it was back to darkness again.......the only good memories.......were the oranges.

I smile as for the first time I see her enjoying herself, free from the many nightmares she had been plagued. The little bunniger definitely had more to live for once she was no longer being tormented and chased by her 'handlers'. Hopefully, the petition I had requested through John Black would allow her to live in peace for the rest of her life.

I pat the chair beside me saying, "Come sit beside me little one. Enjoy yourself while we wait for Sirse to join us. And if you'd like more, let me know."

Arie giving the ice cream truck one last look crosses the square and with some effort, as she refuses to spare even a single hand from clutching her ice cream cone, tries to crawl up onto the bench. After her third failed attempt and nearly spilling her ice cream she resigns herself to sitting on the grass by your feet. Pressing her form against you, her eyes track the passage of any mammal that strays to close to her, as though she expects them to attack her at any moment and steal her treat.

JKnight97 In reply to Code-Shark [2017-06-08 00:11:34 +0000 UTC]

I gently ruffle the fur on her head, enjoying the peace and quiet of the day. Although she looked tense. she was at least enjoying the treat and her freedom from worries. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping in the trees, the wind blowing a cool breeze as we sat in the park, enjoying the moment together.

"Sirse would enjoy just being able to sit back and relax, not a care in the world," as I reflect on how many things had happened in my life ever since I met the young vixen. Many would be scandalized by the fact that we were in an interspecies relationship and what would seem to be a May-December romance. Little did they know that she was an immortal, a Changeling. There was still the issue of my memories which she and I were sorting through. And as to whether she and I were once mates in a past life. If that was so, I grin to myself, then there really wasn't an impediment to our being together.

Looking out beyond the park, I see the vixen who had been on my mind a lot and lazily wave at her, beckoning her over.

Her feet had carried her back to the park, a pleasant walk, something to clear her head. It would help ease the tension in her shoulders along with a great deal of the unease regarding all the chaos that had descended on her in short order.  One day she was handling basic dimensional drift variance, and the next a bear blundered into her life and in less than twenty four hours nearly caused a glitch in the time stream, broke the primary dimensional rules, and nearly destroyed an entire plane of existence.

Throwing in the fact that her destiny was somehow intertwined with his, that his memories of her, and their time together were there but not, was leading to a growing headache. And with her Employer making it clear that she had been reassigned to watch over Gus, namely: ‘Please keep him from destroying any universes inadvertently…oh, and himself as well. As he seems like a nice chap.’

And now his memories, ones he once had forgotten were all coming up to the surface. Somehow all she wanted to do was scream, to bury her head in a pillow and will it all to go back to the simple life she had. Before he had wormed the truth about her heritage out of her, before all the events that had led her to this point.

Looking up her eyes caught sight of him, sitting on a park bench waving. Beside him, a large orange bunny, with thick shaggy fur. The sight made her smile. Somehow, despite all the chaos, there were good times there too. Happy moments, that bubbled up and made her smile. It was like something she had nearly forgotten, how to live, and it was scary.

Her feet moved without her, directing her path through the park, cutting over the grass. Sliding onto the park bench, she looked up at her Bear and smiled. The moment. This moment, that is what mattered.

With a few clicks on her watch, she spoke.

‘Hello there stranger.’

"Mademoiselle,"  I say, tipping an imaginary hat at her as I smiled back, taking in her perfect form and lovely hazel eyes. "Your presence brings me great joy as I have sorely missed you these past few days. If you will allow me," as I take her paw in mine and start placing kisses from her paw and start moving up her arm, "I need to refresh my senses with your scent and beauty." And I end up nibbling at her neck as she lets out a silent squeal and smacks me playfully on my chest with her paw before texting, 'Not in front of the child!' she admonished with a smile. I give her my best feral grin, waggling my eyebrows at her, but I obey her request and for now, merely hold her paw in mine, her digits intertwined with mine.

"I was hoping your employer had some answer as to whether you could stay with me. The apartment is now alive with sounds of life, what with Arie growing used to not perpetually looking over her shoulder in fear of the creatures in the shadows. But, she is a child and I long for a more mature female presence to complete the circle."

"Also, has he said when we are to sit down again to debrief him regarding our mission on Isla Nublar?"

For a while Sirse just looks out over the park taking in the view. The various families going about their business, the warmth of the sun, and the healthy aroma of baked goods, sweets, and other familiar scents. Savoring the moment, she closed her eyes and looks thoughtful.

‘Mr. Shark would like a meeting with you.’ She finally clicks out. ‘To discuss the Isla Nublar Mission, and all that took place on the island. He also wanted to speak to you about residency, and…’

Her eyes move down to Arie, who is busily finishing off her cone with great tenacity. Face an emotional mask, her form is tense, though she tries to hide it.

‘Black is going to be there too.’

Arie could tell something was wrong, the way the fox held herself. The little nervous gestures of her hands, how she held her eyes. She was worried, and that made her worried. Looking around for a possible threat, she could find none. At least not close to her. Ice cream in hand, she spread her jaws and in three quick bights devoured the remainder of the cone in a crunching mess. Satisfied that no one would be able to steal her prize now, she began to lick the molten Ice cream off her large paws.

Becoming aware that both parties are looking at her, Arie felt herself become very self aware, what have I done wrong? Her brows knit, and she stopped licking her fur as her arms drew up in a defensive gesture.

I sensed Sirse's tension when she mentioned her brother's name and even Arie picked up on it. I was worried as to what news Black had for me. But I noticed Arie seemed to see the worry as a threat. When I saw that she had put her paws up defensively, I went to calm her fears.

"Don't be afraid, little one. It's just adult talk. No need to worry yourself. We're not mad at you. You haven't done anything wrong at all. Would you like more ice cream, sweetie?" I asked her, in order to take her mind off the tension she had picked up. I ran my paw along her head, stroking her bunny ears, soothing her frayed nerves. I hated lying to her but since I had no knowledge of what news Black had for us, I didn't want to stress her out. My gut instincts only told me it wasn't the happy news I was expecting and I didn't want to burden her with it.

Sirse gives you a masked look, something that seems to say: 'That was a mistake.' But says nothing to contradict your statement. Allowed she adds, 'My Employer has sent a car to pick us up at the far end of the park. And has arranged accommodations for you as well Arie. If you are ready, we can proceed.'

At the direct mention of her name Arie cringes and buries her face into your fur. Not even the prospect of ice cream seems to pull her from the perceived horror that awaits her.

'I don't wanna go.' She mumbles. 'I know what adults do when they talk. Your going to send me away now- just like the others did. You-'

Sirse moves to Arie's side and places a hand on her. Arie jerks, ears flicking as though hearing some impeccable noice and clams a little. Smiling Sirse gives her a reassuring pat and moves back to your side.

I sensed what she did with Arie. I recalled how she cared for the female TRex that I had decimated as we escaped from the island. How she had wordlessly comforted it as it lay hurt. I see that she has a way with the wild things and is able to calm the inner fears of the innocent ones. I wrap an arm around Sirse's shoulder, drawing her to me as I lay my other paw on Arie's head to continue ruffling her fur to soothe her.

"I must remind myself more often," as I kiss Sirse gently on her lips, "to thank my mate for all that you do for me. And for just being you." And I lay my forehead  on hers, my eyes closed, as I reflect on where this new adventure could take us.

"Whatever may come, as long as we are together!" I reflected. We, three, made a strange sight: a very large grizzly, a petite fox and a medium size bunniger hybrid all acting as if we were a regular family out in the park for some ice cream. In a way, it seemed natural.

A few of the other mammals in the part had stopped to stare, some out of curiosity, others shock, and even a few looks of horror. Large ears pivoting Sirse worked to try and ignore some of the more nasty comments that came their way.

‘Is that their kid? How is that possible?’

‘I feel so sorry for her….’

‘How are they able to do that, and in public too.’

‘Why do they let their kid run around naked?’

Folding her ears back, Sirse brushed off the remarks, and taking her mates hand motioned him over to the side of the park were a familiar black limo waited. Arie looked hesitant when invited in, but with some coaching she entered, be it very reluctantly.

The journey over to the worn apartment complex took only a few minutes, and the ride was for the most part a quiet one, as Black was not present to egg the situation on. Still a growing sense of unease filled Sirse as she came back to the house that C.S. had set up residence in, and it was with great effort that she pushed the door open and beckoned both Aire and Gus inside.

There, sitting as though not a moment had gone by was her employer, calm and composed with a shadow of a smile tugging the corners of his lips. Unlike that of a cats, or one who knows a secret and is clearly savoring that knowledge.

‘Ah, Hello Gus, Sirse, And you must be Little Arie. Thank you for coming here on such short notice.’

"Good friend, CS." I nodded in acknowledgement. "What news does Black have for us? Or is there another reason as to why you summoned us here? It was a fine day at the park. You should go out once in a while. It may do you good. Even put a little color in your gills." I smirk.

Smiling back, C.S. nods. ‘What a marvelous idea – Sirse, if you would please retrieve the item of box number thirty six.’

With a curt nod Sirse vanished behind a door leaving you in silence for a few minutes. Arie shuffles her feet and moves to cling to your side, clearly unnerved by the silence. To try and ebb the tension, the shark gestures to two of the three chairs before the oak desk.

‘Please forgive my lax manners.’ The shark added with a sigh, ‘I have been under tremendous stress lately. And, as you know doubt can see. It has taken its toll. But, one should never forget their manners, etiquette and hospitality after all are the stapes of civilization. Tea? Coffee perhaps?’   

Pushing back from the desk, the shark reaches into one of the desk cubbies and extracts two glass cups, and places then on the desk before you and Aire.

‘Please.’

At that moment Sirse makes her return, eyes the two cups with steaming liquid and doing her best to ignore hers places a small wooden box on desk before her employer.

‘Thank you.’ The shark added, his eyes moving to Arie. ‘And now there are a few matters we must discuss. In the park. Sirse, if you would escort our guest back out to the car, I shall be out shortly.’

Sirse, standing very stiff gives her best nod and motions you and Aire to the door.
