"Afraid to come down and face me?" Demetri heard her stomach growl. "I'm not stopping you." His blue eyes were watching her every move.

"Fine. Your loss if you decide to rip me to shreds. I'm quite the catch, you know." Jesse said, thickening her words with sarcasm. She leaped down from the tree, landing much quieter than she would have suspected. Landing only a few yards from the tiger, she eyed him cautiously. "Well... Now's your chance. You gonna tear my throat open? Be prepared to get a few scratches, first." She lowered her ears back to her head, glaring at him.

Demetri just shook his head, watching her. He admired her bravery at wanting to actually fight him. He should have killed her but something held him back. The last time something held him back he ended up falling in love... Only to end up being hurt. "So what's your name anyway?"

Her muscles relaxed ever so slightly. Maybe Big Scary Cat Guy wasn't as bad as she made him out to be. Still... She eyed his movements with her sharp yellow-green eyes. "Why should I tell you? A few minutes ago you wanted me dead."

He shrugged. "I guess I don't blame you. Everyone hates me, and their all afraid of me. They say I've lost my mind.." Sighing, Demetri shook his head. "Are.. Are you a shapeshifter?"

"I don’t know what the key to success is, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone." Jesse quoted. Sure, she felt like a retard quoting something Big Scary Cat guy probably wouldn't even recognize, but she felt it fitted the situation. "Your type. Always thinking everyone hates you. Maybe you just haven't met the right people. And yeah, I am." Her head tilted sideways, bright eyes scanning the tiger's face.

Demetri lashed his tail, nodding softly. "So do you want to tell me your name now? I'm Demetri. And I'm a shapeshifter too." He smiled a little

Jesse forced a smile back at Demetri."I guessed that." She teased. It was hard for her to smile. Smiling hadn't exactly been a part of her facial expressions since a long time ago. "My name's Jesse." Her ears relaxed fully now.

"It's.. nice to meet you. Though I'm guessing you don't feel the same about me." Demetri looked away from her as the voice screamed inside his head. He tried to hide it from her. Tried to hide the look of pain as it yelled for him to kill her, reminding him of the last time he had hesitated.

"Don't assume things you don't know." She sat on the ground, curling her tail around her paws. Something in the back of her mind told her to be on guard, so she did. Long ago she had learned to listen to that subconscious, learning of course by harsh punishment. Her body almost sensed the anguish coming from Demetri, and a part of her worried for him.

Demetri just nodded, not trusting himself to speak. When he found his voice at last he spoke in barely more than a whisper. "Maybe I should go." He felt he couldn't restrain himself much longer. THe voice, it always made him angry. Especially when it was screaming at him... Do it now! You fool. He almost felt like she would sense his pain.

Jesse cursed herself when she felt a tinge of sadness. "If you want to, I know, I'm not the greatest company." She hardened her face and pretended not to care. She couldn't help it, though; he was the one of the first shifters she'd ever have a somewhat type of conversation with. You keep telling yourself not to get your hopes up for anybody. Then this one guy comes along and you're already weakening. The voice in her mind scolded her.

"It's not that. Its... Nothing, forget it." He tried to stand and stumbled, catching himself before he could fall. He shook his head softly, suddenly dizzy. Can't you see what's happening? The voice said. It's like your falling in love all over again. No.. He shook his head again. Couldn't be. Not him..

Without fear of being bitten, Jesse went forward and supported Demetri's body against her shoulder, trying to help him. After realizing she had actually done it and it wasn't just a scenario in her head, she backed up. "Sorry." She muttered, looking at the ground. Damn you, Jess, she thought.

Demetri just looked at her, surprised that she would want to help him. And he actually didn't feel angry.. "It's alright. I'll be fine, so just forget about it." He claws at the ground, thinking. Sometimes his body didn't even feel like it belonged to him..
