Sapphire smirked at Naveed, taking another swig of her rum. She placed the bottle on the nightstand and looked over at him. She would'nt be able to have fun if there were no humans left and she wouldn't be able to have any toys to play with.

"If they were no humans left I wouldn't have any target practice anymore." Sapphire responded with a coy smirk. "Humans are all the same...well almost all of them. My father isn't half bad, my mother is a mutant and he married her. There was another human that I used to like, but its not something I would like to bring up. Besides what better way to be a goddess than to have all your subjects weaker than you."

If Naveed had noticed When Sapphire mentioned the other Human, her voice got considerably quieter and sounded almost as if she was in pain. She got louder when she changed her subject but still, Sapphire wasn't exactly the one to show her emotions right off her sleeve and her voice changing like that was a rare occasion.

Naveed raised an eyebrow at the comments and picked the rum up off the nighstand and looked at it in his hands twirling it around. "There will always be the strong." he said after a moment of silence and reflection. "Even with mutants there will be the strongest and the weak, you will conquor over the weak." He stood up and walked across the room then turned to look at her. She really was rather beautiful, she'd make a perfect queen back home. He smiled to himself.

"Will you be staying tonight?" he asked.

OOC Oh good two power Hungry Pyschopaths are getting along. Well I have hope for my future.

IC

Sapphire noticed him looking at her and raised an arched brow. When he asked the question of whether or not she was staying she let out a small laugh. A flirtatious smile crept across her face, predatory instinct taking over.

"Perhaps, it depends if I have nothing else to do or not." Sapphire responded, "It seems that you desire me to stay or you wouldn't be asking. Out of all the female mutants you could of found you found the one who kills humans for calling her baby sister a cry baby."

Sapphire was extremely curious as to why Naveed had taken a sudden interest in her. She could use her darkness to extract it out of him but..were was the fun in that.

Naveed smerked and watched her some more- how the light flicked off her hair and skin. He liked her attitude, it was a lot like her own. "Never be ashamed or embaressed by your strength and passion." he said referring to her comment about being a human killer. "It's what makes you powerful." he stood up again and stretched, he was tired it had been a long journey and it was starting to show.

Without warning he pulled off his shirt revealing his muscular form and almost moon tattoo on his wrist. "I'm tired" he stated sitting on the bed. "You can stay if you like"

Sapphire glanced over at Naveed when he took off his shirt, gazing at his uper half of his body, her tail appeared unexpectedly and began wagging a mile a minute. The dingo woman was surprised by his handsome upper body and she now had to admit the inner dingo was clawing to get out.

Sapphire thought of the pros and cons of staying with Naveed for the night.

On one hand she could stare at his body some more and talk about killing people.

On the other hand he could become disgusted by her long limbed body and shudder away from her as soon as she takes off her windbreaker.

He could think she was sexy.

Or maybe he just thought she was crazy.

'Ah what the hell' Sapphire thought as she removed her windbreaker, revealing her long arms. Her skin was a pale snowy white. Sapphire wore a black tank top that showed her upper body curves very well, as well as showing her toned belly. She laid ontop of the bed, propping her head up slightly.

"Im sure it won't kill me to stay the night."

Naveed was already laying down on the bed with his legs crossed at the ankles and his eyes closed when she answered. He opened his eyes a crack and then catching her form in the light his eyes opened a little wider under his dark hair. This woman sure did have a peculiar (funny story, I cant actually announciate that word in real life so I *never* use it) form, but it was strikingly beautiful. He thought he even saw a tail.

not much surprised Naveed. He was very androgenous with his emotions and living so long in a community that kept itself cut off from the rest of the world- he expected to be confronted with things and people he'd never seen.

"You smell like an animal." he said taking a breath. "I like it." it was true. Naveed was a hunter at heart and felt much like he was now in a figurative cat and mouse chase with the girl. "So is TV as good as they claim? I haven't really watched much." he said tossing the remote over to the adjacent bed to break the tension.

He had to get to know her better. She could be a powerful ally.

Sapphire was about to object to the fact that she smelt like an animal but when Naveed said that he like it the thought was quickly wiped from her mind. She knew that she would have to reply with something coy soon or she would seem like a gawking thirteen year old.

"Well besides all the reality bull thats on, there are some good sitcoms like Still standing, Everybody Love Raymond and Friends." Sapphire responded, "I watch them on occasion but I usually flip on whatever I can find."

Sapphire picked up the remote and flipped a few channels, somehow landing on MTV and MTV somehow had managed to put an actual music video on. It was an Old Evanescence one, Going Under. Sapphire tossed the remote back to Naveed.

"Change it when you want to and," Sapphire turned to the male with an awfully evil grin upon her face. "I do not only smell like an animal but also of the lavender body wash I used this morning, I bet you nose didn't catch that did it?"

ooc: Im gonna fast forward a lil bit here Em, just to keep things moving annnnd interesting

ic:

Navi cracked another smile and crinkled his nose in an almost wolfish way. "Well.. I didn't think lavander was native around here." he winked.

He flipped through the chanels in silence occasionally glancing over at the girl on the other bed. The lights were all off now and the light from the tv bounched off them. Naveed felt his eyes start to droop and his body relax. Before he knew it he fell asleep.

A few hours must have passed when he woke up. It was still dark out and the tv was still on but with no sound. He glanced to his left- it looked like the girl was still there, maybe she was asleep? He was too groggy to really be sure and nature was calling with a vegence- the rum! He tried to stealthly make his way to the bathroom bumping into furniture and trying to keep from swearing as he went.

Eventually he made it and found himself nearly asleep on his feet. He made his way back to what he thought was his bed and tossed himself on without worrying about blankets. He took up about half the bed and instantly fell asleep. What he didn't realise was that he'd just launched himself in Saph's bed.

Sapphire grumbled in her sleep when the new pressence got on the bed. The dingo woman did not realize that it was Naveed or anyone for that matter she just realized the fact she needed to get warm. Sapphire rolled across the bed, close to Naveed, almost as if she was snuggled into his arms.

Of course if Sapphire was awake she would have killed Naveed then herself but she wasn't so she just wanted to get warm next to this 'giant pillow.'

Naveed was dreaming. He was back home in the north and Raina and the dingo-woman were there. They all sat around an outdoor fire while watching the waves move the ice and listening to the wolves howl in the background.

Raina had long dark hair and smiled at him with kind eyes, while Sapphire Sat and ate some sort of meat off a stick that she'd been roasting. The others were circled around them watching them eat and smile at each other with envious eyes. Of course, that was because he told them they were not allowed to move. Just watch. He wanted them to see them enjoying themselves before he ended the lives of those watching.

Of course- this was just a dream.

Naveed murmered in his sleep and soon came to conciousness.

It took him a while to realise where he was and who's arms were locked around him in a death grip. He bit his lip to keep from making any noise. There she was with him in her grasp.

Great, how was he going to get out of this one? She'd kill him if he woke up...

Sapphire kept herself right by Naveed, still thinking of him as a pillow. The dingo woman, growled lightly in her sleep, her arms loosening around Naveed. She started to move her hands in her sleep as if she was running in her dingo form.

Sapphire then let out a small whimper, a sound that hardly ever elicited from the young woman's lips. Her dream of chassing rabbits had taken a drastic turn for the worse. She was back in the labs, Fusionist was alive and she was his assistant once again a job she she never wanted. But, Fusionist had taken other, 'benefits with his prized experiments, benefits that forever scared the mind of a 12 year old child. The same 'benifits haunted her mind till this very day.

If Naveed looked at Sapphire really glanced at her bare arms, he would see the cut marks across her arms were she tried to end it all, the scar on the side of her neck in a perfect circle shape from the needle used to sedate her and if Naveed noticed her cuffed jeans there would be rope like scars on her ankles.

Sapphire slipped away from naveed, curling herself into a little ball, murmuring nearly incoherent words in her slumber. There was no telling what Sapphire was dreaming but by the way she was shuddering away from Naveed, it couldn't be good.

Naveed stayed still a moment waiting to see if she was still asleep. When he was satisfied that she was still out could he slipped out of her bed and back to his own muttering under his breath what an idiot he was.

He laid down and pulled the blankets up to his waist and stared across at her. She wasvoving in her sleep and making noises like a wounded animal. He wondered what her story was, what she was dreaming and what she was capable of.

He relaxed and put his hands behind his head looking up at the ceiling. It was almost morning. He felt like going for a jog.

He stretched and got up, thinking he'd head for central park. He took a glance at the woman and grabbed a piece of hotel paper. He scribbled on it that he was out for a run and would bring back some food and asked her to wait for him.

And with that he quietly opened the door and left.

ooc: Emm, I just wanted to make this congruent with the rupert posts so I figure from here he heads to jog and runs into 'Theresa' and then to Ruperts. I posted in Rupert's apartment making him leave and head back to Sapphire. So if it's cool with you, make a filler post here and I'll make Naveed come back right after that post and we'll keep going. I just want to try and make things mmatch up and it'll give us a day passing.

Sapphire woke up and saw that Naveed wasn't there, causing her to let out a small sigh of relief. The Dingo woman went back to her apartment and painted for a short while, but all the paintings came out the same. They were all Naveed, standing upon an Icy summit in warrior looking garb.

The young woman was irritated by this and then tried to paint somwere else.

She began painting in the hotel room, slowly painting an Icy scene upon the canvas. Sapphire didn't even see why she had been painting Naveed, it was almost like her subconcuss mind was trying to tell her something. But what?

Hours had past and Naveed was furious when he crashed through the hotel door. Before he even sat down the manager was there insisting Naveed hadn't paid yet and then from one look and sentence from Naveed, Naveed was now paid for a month. The manager happily skipped away telling the bellhop how Naveed knew his brother.

Naveed growled like an animal and through his things on the bed and paced around the room. Sapphire was no longer there- somehow that didn't surprise him.

His head was going crazy thinking of Raina in that camp. The cop- Rupert- infuriated him, and now that he'd stop to think about it Theresa was pretty suspicious too.

He clutched a glass under the bathroom faucet to fill with water but shattered it in his hand before it was even full. He swore loudly and pounded his free hand on the countertop reaching for a towel to wrap around his bloody palm.

He paced and paced like a crazed lion the blood oozing through his wrap. He had to think. tried to think. Coudln't think.

Rupert. How he loathed this man. He decided he would kill this man regardless of raina's wishes when she was free. For now he had to depend on him, but soon... oh his time would come soon. Living in this city was making him a maniac.

He sat at the tiny desk in the corner of the room with his head in his hands. It was odd not having Sapphire here after spending the last 24 hours with her. Too odd infact. He was concered about how the woman was growing on him. She seemed to balance him out when she was around. Maybe it was her powers or just her personality- but things were easier.

Sapphire rolled her eyes at her new picture of Naveed, this time he was standing on a snow bank, looking at the northern lights. She couldn't believe that she couldn't get him off her mind. It was almost like she was obssed or something! The Dingo woman had only done this once before, and that didn't turn out well at all. However, this time there was no Fusionist trying to pull her away from her fantasies. It was odd, but Sapphire felt the urge to go see Naveed at that moment.

She grabbed her new painting, placing a cloth over it before sinking into the ground. She reappeared right in the middle of the Hotel room. Sapphire took the cloth off of the painting.

"Okay, I have painted about 12 of these I don't know why ethier." Sapphire stated, "Do you think there is any reason why I can't stop thinking about you?"
