Neo flicked his tail and trotted to the bed.Red. Arien has feelings for you. You shouldve saw him when i asked. he thought to Red.
Red blinked her eyes open then sat up and rubbed her eyes. Still partially waking up, she looked from Neo to Arien then back.

Red blinked her eyes open then sat up and rubbed her eyes. Still partially waking up, she looked from Neo to Arien then back.

Arien had grabbed the blue cloak he'd left lying on the floor, and hurled it at the tiger. "Don't mind Neo," he muttered, his face red. "He's blabbing stuff he doesn't understand."

He fled from the bedroom and hid in the kitchen where at least he could be somewhat productive by concocting meals. And didn't have to be embarrassed further by a tiger.

Red looked at Neo confused.
"I have no idea what just happened.." murmured Red.
She started to get up but pain ripped through her body as it felt like a fire was raging on the inside of her body. Falling to her knees, she barely grabbed hold of Neo as she fell.
"..medicine..please.." she whispered then passed out, falling the rest of the way to the floor.
Neo's fur spiked up in alarm then he ran out of the room and skidded into the kitchen. He opened a cabnet and grabbed her bottle of medicine then ran back to Red's room.

Arien knew panic when he saw it. "Neo!?" He followed the tiger and cursed when he saw Red's unresponsive form.

"Red! Hey, Red, wake up." He gently shook her, trying to wake her up. "How much of the medicine does she need?" Arien asked the tiger.

Neo dropped the bottle and put up two claws. Nudging Red, he tried to get her to wake up. Im going to kill Ash when i find her... Neo growled mainly to himself, but it was an open thought and anyone could hear it.

Two pills, right. He'd ignore for the moment that the tiger had used a human gesture and that he, Arien, had understood it.

If Red was unconscious, though, getting the pills in her would be easier said than done. He opened the bottle and took two pills, which weren't too big to choke on.

"Alright, Red, wake up so I don't have to do something we're both going to, maybe probably possibly going to regret." He tapped his fingers against her face, even as he propped her up. Thankfully his canteen was still by his side--so water was available. "Red?"

Red didnt wake up. Neo looked from Arien to Red.She has never blacked out before. I think its getting worse. Neo thought to Arien.

"Of course it is," muttered Arien. Without another thought, he uncapped his canteen, took a brief sip, popped a pill into his mouth, and then leaned over Red.

Once he transferred the pill into her mouth, he stroked her throat to get her to swallow. He repeated this a second time, before rising and rinsing his mouth; not caring to find out what adverse effects the pill would have on him.

"How long before it takes effect?"

Neo shrugged, not sure. Managing to get Red up onto her bed, Neo licked her hand. Nex trotted in, wary of Arien, he put Patch on Red's bed.
Neo. Its a weakness when Red does this. Arien cant stay here. Nex thought to Neo.

Arien sighed and capped his canteen bottle. If Red really was this weak, how could she possibly live in a remote place like this? Even if her tigers had been able to provide for her, this particular incident was one such case where they couldn't help.

The hard part would be trying to convince Red of that. Not that he had a whole lot to offer her either. Come travel the world with me was not something he had ever asked anyone to do. He eyed the tigers and the kitten, suddenly feeling outnumbered.

Neo flicked his ear in irrtation then growled. Arien is the only one who can actually take care of her Nex!!! Dont fight me over this!! We wont be able to do anything for her without his help!!! Neo's fur spiked up and he took a threatening step towards Nex.
Nex growled back and pinned his ear to his head.Dont make me atrack you because i will Nex growled back and bared his fangs.

The bristling tigers were making Arien edgy--well, edgier. "Hey, hey, guys, let's talk this out." Yeah, right, he thought, nothing like reasoning with tigers over who's taking care of whom.

"Look, um, if you're going to fight, you should take it outside--before you hurt Red, or me." Fortunately, Bella seemed to recognize the standoff, and she came to sit at Arien's feet, fur up, ready to defend him if need be.

Neo bared his fangs as well and ignored Arien. Nex leapt at Neo, bowling him over. Claws unsheathed the two tigers bit and clawed at each other, ripping tufts of fur out and giving deep wounds to each other.
Red started to wake up from all the hissing and caterwhauling.
"Shut up!" Red snapped at the two tigers and threw a pillow at them.
They shredded it to pieces, continueing their fight.

Arien had crawled up on Red's bed to get as far from the fighting as he could get. The fate of the pillow only reinforced the idea that if he got between them--he'd be shredded as well.

"I hope this doesn't happen much--or often. It can't be good for the furniture," he added. For another, it certainly wasn't good for the tigers. He whistled sharply, hoping the noise would stall them into stopping.

Red covered her ears when he whistled and the tigers leapt apart and pawed at their ears. The sharpness hurt their ears as well as left them ringing.
Red sat up and muttered to herself about all the noise and not letting her get sone rest. She had yet to see Neo and Nex.
Blood stained their white coat in places and tufts of fur were obviously missing.

Horror flashed briefly across Arien's face at the bloodied sight of the two tigers.

"So, how, exactly, is mauling each other supposed to help Red?" he demanded of the two tigers. "Go outside before you bleed on the floor!"

Red's head was foggy and she cloudnt hear a thing after that sharp whistle. Ears still ringing, Red looked at the two tigers in shock.
Neo and Nex quickly went outside.
"What the heck is going on around here?" Red said confused.

Arien took a deep breath, trembling slightly. "Well, you passed out and the tigers took it badly. Neo was pretty agitated over the whole thing." Or had that been Nex? Did it matter?

"Thank god the medicine worked." He hoped to the gods that she wouldn't ask about how she'd gotten her medicince. He slid off the bed. "I'll, uh, go see to the tigers."

"No! I'll do it." Red said quickly and got up.
She grabbed a small bag before heading outside. She washed off the blood from their fur and bandaged them up.
"I dont know why you two always do this. It makes everything harder for us you know," she softly to them.
