Even odds [Airi/Hunt]

Shade stopped in his tracks and turned his head, his iris’ had cosntricted around his pupils which were now slits and he’d be staring daggers at the sistermon. He had had enough of her drivel; he was trying to be nice before but her utter insistence on this had royally pissed him off. He’d take a step and with a clawed finger he’d make a single pointing jabbing motion at her.

”Shut. Up.”

He was quite done with this topic and any more pressure on it might yield to the beast becoming much more angry with sable than anything else. He was miserable and lonely because of a great many things and it wasn’t just all his own choices. He didn’t believe in fate; who would have been consigned to such a life of suffering and pain like he had been? He had lost his home, his friends and family and the very little meager possessions to the red.

The wraithgururmon turned on a dime and headed towards where the other had crashed. Knowing how the wild worked the digimon kept an eye out for the large bird like digimon. With the commandramon popping out of the device airi had. He’d return that nod and crouch to look at the small hawk.

”Shade has never seen such a creature like this before. Closest thing that he remembers is some kind of bird that the red killed.”

He’d rub at his chin and frown slightly as sable greeted the commandramon. The wolfs’ ears flicked to airi and shade turned to look to sarge. He was curious and after a few moments the wraithgururumon followed where sarge was looking at.

”Shade can handle them if they attack.”

It wasn’t so much confidence as it was just matter a fact. Flying or not shad ehad a nasty arsenal and the towering wolf had to consider his own wants or desires in this scenario. He was hungry and that bird would probably earn quite a feast if he took it down but… The small bird itself needed attention.

”But for now we should hurry to whitewater. They have a good hospital there.”

Shade was grateful for the few moments of silence that sable gave him even if it wasn’t long. He’d rub the bridge of his nose and exhale slowly. Trying to get his emotions in check; his own experiences with the civilized world was terrible. Every step ever since leaving the dark area just constantly had him on edge or in a corner.

But then she spoke again. To sarge first; as though asking about the winged being just so she could continue on with something. Shade stayed silent as the other spoke to him. It felt to him that she was egging him on and if that was what she was trying to accomplish she’d find that his body language went from fairly friendly…

Well.

To something completely not. The slight raise of the hackles, his stance widening even a tick. His fangs clacked together and those slits of eyes stared at the sistermon. She continued to preach and preach and preach. He hated civilized digimon; he tolerated them most days but she just kept pushing for it.

”Because every single person that shade ever trusted. Every single one without a doubt betrayed him. Every single civilized digimon that he ever came into contact with made shade’s life worse.”

He’d step forward, practically towering over the sistermon. His hands balled into fists and yes it did seem like he’d strike her of all things. He tolerated her words before; but now he was just getting aggravated by them.

”Your kind brought shade to their cities, spent time trying to change him. Put a collar around his neck that even if you looked now you could find the burns. Before he was quiet. Before he was content to live alone because even back in the dark area it was simple. But then the red came. Messed everything up. Got your kind involved in it all”

The wraithgururmon snarled the last part and would turn; he was getting himself rifled up and for the unfortunate tree that was closest to them… Well he’d practically punch the thing in half.

”Besides, Shade wouldn’t hit you. No. Shade would prefer to eat you more than anything. But he doesn’t do that anymore. Because if he did more of your kind would just come and twist his life apart again and again. Just like you’re wont to do with everything that doesn’t line up with your beliefs or what’s ‘right’.”

He’d turn and growl at the sistermon.

”You want to know why shade walks alone? It’s because he wants to and there’s no one. No thing that will ever change that again. Not you. Not your tamer. And certainly not those that are hunting shade at this exact moment. He helps those that he runs into because it's just what he's feeling like he should be doing at that moment.”
