Friend or Foe?? (Rin)

[milesdawnstar]

Miles flew a long way from home, he was in the mood to meet some new people and he enjoyed doing so. Flying at a speed most humans couldn't see he soared high above the forest until he was on the edge of Canada. It was such a beautiful and friendly place, eh?

Landing a couple miles off from a city he made his way through the forest and smiled. He loved greenery as much as the next nature advocate but his powers retricted him from getting too close fro to long. Which really sucked but he stayed positive.

Feeling the snow pound his radioactive skin slightly he sighed. His outfit was safe from cold and wetness as well as his warm skin, and it was all thanks to his powers. He was immune to cold extremes because his powers were nice and steamy and he could generate heat. Which was something he enjoyed very much.

Walking through the snow that melted around his aura with every step he looked off into the horizon and stopped in his tracks. He has saw some furie creature standing on its hind legs and charged a radioactive bolt of energy. Its red disc like shape standing out against the white background. Whipping the disc through the air he hurled the energy at the beast and took two steps backward.

"Don't come any closer, unless you have a death wish"

Miles instructed, his jet black locks flowing in the chilled air. He was ready to attack at any moment, but he most likely would kill the beast unless it attempted to kill him. Although it might of trie to kill him now, considering he just fired a radioactive bolt at it. Wasn't his best choice but it was done now. He would just have to fight now...

The forest truly was a place of wonder, a place for beauty and danger yet there was something about it that seemed to attract almost everyone. Like miles Rin was one of those out enjoying the quiet, beautiful wilderness for one of her rare treks away from the Canadian Rockies in which she had come to call home. With so little activity it had given her the perfect chance to explore more of the pine tree covered land, to see what was beyond the base of the mountains she almost knew like the back of her hand by now.

Yet she was alert despite the leisure time she had now, there was still the danger of other wild animals such as wolves and bears but she wasn't worried. She had learned to take care of herself, even in such highly risking places such as the wilderness. But it was surely worth the walk sometimes, even for the humanoid snow leopard.

In truth she had come to love the place as much as she hated it, mostly because she couldn't escape it. From self exile Rin had had to cope with never being in society due to her mutation and though she loved the wild she was loathing at the same time due to her frustration. There was little she could do to change what had been done to her, it was now who she was.

Sighing she merely shook the frustrating thoughts away, pushed to the back of her mind to think over another day. But where she thought she would be alone it was not to last for the sound of crunching snow and a faint new scent captured her attention, making Rin stop upon a ridge to gaze around the area and down the path until she could spot a human form moving further down until they stopped as well. But he had spotted her, and from the sound of it he seemed to think she was a normal wild beast wandering these forests often but the worse of it was he suddenly launched something towards her. The immediate reaction was to dodge the radioactive bolt and take cover behind some trees.

This person wasn't any ordinary one, they seemed to be a mutant too! But were they just acting out of defense or purposely being hostile? There was one way to find out,"You should be more careful of who you attack, you never know who or what will fight back!"She called out, moving swiftly to come at Miles from the side of the path, using the trees as cover if he were to fire another bolt or form of energy. But when she drew closer she growled in warning and came from behind one of the large pines standing posed to pounce on her legs and hands slightly up with her claws showing to indicate her meaning of attack."Who are you?"She asked, lashing her long, thick tail in anger.

[milesdawnstar]

It could talk?? Wow he really felt like he was the star in a Scooby-Doo rip off right now. A talking wolf girl who was fighting a radioactive kid, man this stuff was golden. Taking flight and gliding backward slowly he looked to the girl.

"Depends,"

Miles said while chrging another radio-bolt and olding his hand as if he were going to throw a football. He was ready for if this girl attacked him, and he was in the mood to be attacked. Maybe he would just fill this girl up with toxic energy, leave her inards scorched and torn asunder. But he wasn't his parents, he wasn't insane.

"Who are you??"

Miles questioned ready to strike. His dark black hair grazing the elegant plains and his mind elsewhere. This girl reminded him of what his parents used to do to those poor animals. He couldn't stand to hurt animals much after that, and human animals. That was a real big no no in his book. If this girl wasn't hostile, he'd give her a chance, if she was he's frie her.

[rinburns]

Rin tensed slightly as Miles took flight and prepared another bolt, wondering if he'd really attack there and then. But she took the moment to observe his body language, it was the best way to tell if someone was going to really do something but it seemed he was being defensive more then offensive. Perhaps that was just it? He was just defending himself like Rin was right now. But still she waited another minute or two before she relaxed her stance and stood straight.

"My names Rin, but I also go by Snow Cat for my code name. Unfortunately I live out here in self-exile so trying to hurt you wasn't exactly my intention, you just kinda caught my attention before but didn't expect to meet another mutant."She explained, hoping that would clear some things up but of course she didn't know if this boy would be convinced by her story even though it was true. "But who might you be?"She asked, crossing her arms as she watched Miles, her gaze neutral to hide her emotions easier.

If anything she would still be watchful of Miles even if she had relaxed her stance, anything could trigger them to be ready to attack the other again.

[milesdawnstar]

Miles looked at the girl as she spoke and didn't untense until she stated she was another mutant. Should he trust her? Should he hurt her? No it wasn't his nature, however he would if he had too. So he decided a different approach, being friendly.

"Oh... Well hi im Miles, but the general public calls me Ion"

Miles stated as he floated down toward Rin and smiled while extending his hand. His shining blue eyes catching shades of grey from the pale snow. He wasn't very trusting of mutants who had animal like traits because of his upbringing, but that was different. The animals that his parents experimented on were never human, they were just innocent beast.

"I apologize for shooting at you. I can just be a little, jumpy in forest terrain"

He explained in a sorry voice as he rubbed the back of his head and crossed his legs while floating; Face to face with the girl who was dubbed Snow Cat, and he could see why. She was excellent in masking herself in the snowy terrain and she looked like a cat. What more could you want from a wolf girl??

[rinburns]

"Nice to meet you Miles,"Rin said with a slight nod of greeting before extending a hand to shake his before crossing her arms again. With things settled down now Miles didn't seem like he was half bad close up. Though looks could always be deceiving and she still wasn't exactly sure what more Miles could do with his own abilities where her's might be a bit more obvious with her having a feline physiology.

"As for being jumpy I can understand that, never know what can be in this forest. But no hard feelings, guess it doesn't help that I kinda blended in."Rin said and managed a small smile at her mistake. But it also had been what kept her alive if there were any other humans around, her fur gave her an advantage in a snowy setting and allowed her to hide. Back in the mountains it was much easier to hide since there were several caves, boulders, or ledges she could use to hide when there wasn't some covering of snow. Being in the forest or the open she often just made use of the snow for hiding purposes. Of course this time she hadn't had that chance thus her meeting Miles.

[milesdawnstar]

Miles smirked at Rin as he crossed his arms, hovering above the ground by a few inches. He found her interesting in a sense, but he was still wierded out by the fact she reminded him of home. Still considering that word to be an unsafe place, filled with experimentation and toying with others.

"Yea, well its not your fault... I have a bad history with animals,"

Miles said nonchalantly as he looked around and then did a double take. Would she take that as rude, or unprofessional?? She was a girl, not a monster or animal and he knew that but it had just rolled off his tongue. Now he felt bad about what he had said.

"I mean, not that your an animal you just look like one, not that looking an animal is bad...I'll just shut up now"

Miles stammered and studdered out as he blushed and sighed. Now he just felt like an idiot, although it was funny, it wasn't at the same time. He was just perplexed now, which wasn't a fun thing to be.

[rinburns]

Rin couldn't help chuckling slightly in amusement as Miles stammered with his words and shook her hand, waving it off."No problem Miles I get what your saying so don't hurt yourself trying so hard."She assured him."Unfortunately being a human cat wasn't exactly my first choice, it just sorta happened out of the blue and now here I am."She told him with a slight shrug. Changing to what she was had been completely out of her control and being in exile wouldn't have been her first choice.

Pushing the thoughts to the back of her mind she just flicked her thick tail,"So what brings you way out to the Canadian pine forest? Sight seeing?"She asked curiously to try and help start up a conversation. Perhaps it would help them relax a bit more if they just talked and who knows maybe they would become good friends even. But Rin wasn't hopeful when it was still too early to tell at this point.

While waiting for Miles' reply she gave a quick glance around the forest then, just to make sure they weren't at risk of another passerby or some other real predator roaming around. As before the forest was full of such creatures and being too relaxed could get them in trouble.
