Murmur's lithe shape quietly slipped around hers, his tails curling around her protectively. "Even a fox could learn how to do this, Venom. It may be hard, and seem impossible... But that's why it's so valuable. Most give up even trying. Perseverance is the key."
He smiled at her, and pressed his cheek against hers. "You'll be fine. We can just relax today, if you prefer. There's plenty of time."

She looked down at the ground. Which is worse? Feeling new emotions or feeling the worst kind... She thought this to herself but at the same time she muttered it under her breath by accident. "Lets just get it over with I guess..."

Murmur sighed, slipping away from her. "What sort of new emotion, Venom? You're being really confusing you know." Actually, she wasn't being confusing at all. He knew what she was probably going through-- if he had any good guess-- and it was rather interesting to watch it happen. He just had to make her realize herself what she was going though.

"Hell I don't know!" Venom snapped, frustrated. She was frustrated that she said it out loud! and that she didn't know. It made her feel dumb. "Just!" She took a deep breath to calm down. "Just do the next test." She murmured...

"But, Venom... I think this is important..." His ears flattened, and he moved closer to her again. "You have to have some idea. Surely you've heard of all the emotions and what they're like, at the very least. You have to have some guess." He frowned.
"You've experienced anger, happiness, fear, calm... I doubt it's sadness, right?" He looked thoughtful, quizzical even. "I would say confusion, but I think that's an emotion coming off of the new emotion you're having." His tails twitched.

Her eyes widened in sudden realization. No way! It couldn't be! She looked at him in shock. "No." She laughed it a paniced kind of way. "No thats...Thats impossible.." She backed away from him. I...I can't love! I don't...I don't love...anything...

Murmur smiled a small, gentle smile. "Do you want me to leave you alone to think about it? I think you'll find it's not really all that impossible at all." He turned around to trot off, but stopped for a moment. "Everyone is capable of every emotion, Venom. Emotion is the universal language of the soul." He felt like his old mentor. He could feel his words as they escaped his mouth. His words tasted bloody.

She turned away from him and bolted. Venom ran as fast as she could. Its over now... I can't... I just can't learn soul magic... She started to cry. I don't like feeling like this! I don't like it! I can't handle it! I'm not good enough...

Murmur whipped around, his eyes wide. The only good thing was that now she felt love-- without having a single ounce of control over it-- he could manipulate her through it. Reaching out, he pulled at her emotions, willing her to come back. He chased after her, too, but she had gotten a fairly good head start. He just had to pull her back, get her to want to come back to him because of the trust and love she felt for him.
It was an easy task, she just had to listen to it. Thankful love was a rather convincing emotion. His ears pricked as he heard the scuttle of a scorpion deep in the sand, and he stopped, tore its soul out, and dug deep to where it laid dead. He picked it up in his mouth, and urged her to follow her damn emotions and come back with his magic.

She could hear voices in her soul. It was telling her to go back. I CAN'T! Her emotions were very unstable now. No..no..shut up shut up... I can't handle it! NONONOOOO!
IT KEPT PULLING AT HER AND PULLING AT HER! She felt Torn in half. She was even more confused. She had stopped running but she was pacing now. Her eyes were glowing as she murmured to herself. Her soul was strong. The strength that kept binding spell useless was kicking in. Murmur was more powerful than binding spells though. She paced and paced just whispering to herself.

When she didn't come back right away, he continued to trot after her, scorpion in his mouth. He caught up to her easily- since at the very least it had left her pacing, and came over to her. "Venom," he insisted, stepping between her and her pacing-path, dropping the scorpion at her feet. "You need to calm down. Relax, eat, and we'll work this out. Okay?"
So over reactive... It was ridiculous. But she wasn't used to being around other kitsunes, so he expected it would be this bad... Sigh.

She kept pacing. Venom stepped through him like a ghost. Help me help me help me. She could see him but she couldn't stop. "Please help me Murmur..." she whispered. She just couldn't stop. Her body was OVER REACTING from his magic. Maybe if he pulled it back she would calm down.

Murmur sighed, and yanked her soul back, stopped it from moving, and told her in absolute calmness, "relax. Calm down." It always helped to keep your emotions the same as what you wanted to have projected in someone else's soul.
His odd, shadowlike tendrils held her body still as well. "Calm. Remember yesterday? It's easy. Relax."

She laid down and remained still. She sniffed a few times before reaching for the scorpion with her mouth. Venom could go for some comfort food.

"Thank you," Murmur muttered, his tails flicking. "I don't see why you're so worked up about this." He laid down next to her. "I know it's new, but emotions can't kill you. Rain is more likely to kill you. Rain." He tried to coax her, anxious worry filling his voice.
