Summary:
The world of Torpin is open, dragging in Others from different worlds. The majority of them are monsters, prone to violence. There are some, however, that are not, and are able to live amongst the human population, if allowed to. Marland should know; he's one of them. His job is to hunt and stop the Others that seek only to destroy what's around them. On one job, a human Other drops through a portal, an event which Marland has never heard of happening before. And that's not the only thing different about the human...

As for the italics thing, I'm going for if the word's in caps, then chances are, it's supposed to be in italics. Similarly, if there's words encompassed by -' '- , then whatever's in between them should be italicised.

And Puzz would know that too. ...Or maybe not, because Puzz should have started panicking or had took over Shodin as soon as Shodin had started attempting to do magic.
But why the hell was he talking with him over it? "Go talk with Shodin about it."
Puzz hunched himself over even more at Marland's words, another whine escaping his throat. Marland's ears flattened briefly before going up again. "He doesn't know me."
And what did that have to do with anything? "You said that already." Most of their conversations together just seemed to go around in circles. It was like Puzz's entire world had just been destroyed in front of him because Shodin didn't remember him. Which, okay, that did make sense, because Shodin was the only person who knew him here.
Puzz didn't say anything to that, seeming like he was trying to bury himself in to the mattress. Marland sighed irritably. There wasn't any point in trying to continue the conversation, but he wanted to SLEEP dammit. The chocolate was beginning to help with the pain in his shoulder, but not for the one developing in his head.
He could try to sleep on the couch, but he would end up crushing one of his wings if he did that. And Puzz would just follow after him anyway.
"So why're you talking with ME?"
Puzz sighed, looking up to him. "Wanted to."
"...And Shodin's still asleep." He'd meant that to be a question, but it didn't come out that way, not that he really cared. It had taken him a little too long to realise the problem of Puzz being in control, other than Puzz being annoying and giving him headaches. He'd been distracted though, what with Puzz not seeming to have any sense of personal space.
Puzz raised his head and cocked it to the side, like he was trying to listen to something. His eyes went half-lidded, his breathing slowed and he swayed a little from side to side. After a couple of seconds, he blinked and then shook his head, snorting a little. "He's still sleeping."
Well, at least it meant that Shodin wasn't completely trapped in his own head again. ...Wait, so did Puzz go through sleep cycles as well? Which didn't make sense because Puzz didn't HAVE A BODY, but he was using Shodin's, which WOULD need rest at some point. But sleeping wasn't just about resting the body, was it? It was also to rest the mind and if the mind was wide awake...
That meant Marland could be looking forward to more late morning waking ups from Puzz in the future. He growled, ears going flat. He would NOT be looking forward to that.
"So NOW you want to talk to him?" He couldn't avoid him, Puzz was faster than him, and in some way, Marland didn't want to leave Puzz alone just in case he started doing something stupid.
Puzz frowned, then shook his head. "Said I wanted to walk with you."
"Why." Why the hell would he WANT to? Or was it just because he was the only person here, who wasn't Shodin?
"Shodin was learning how to use... magic," Puzz said slowly, trying out the last word, eyebrows furrowed in concentration.
"Yeah...?" If they were going to have a conversation just around about facts that Puzz knew, Marland might end up falling asleep anyway.
"He shouldn't."
Marland narrowed his eyes. He hadn't been expecting that, but he should definitely know by now that he would never be able to predict anything those two did. "Why not?"
"Because it hurts."
He really wished Puzz would talk in longer sentences; it meant he wouldn't have to talk as much either. "It hurts you too."
At that, Puzz shook his head. "It doesn't," he said plainly, finally sitting up so he was only sitting on his knees. His arms dangled by his side. "Only Shodin. He shouldn't use magic."
That was weird. "Why doesn't it hurt you?" So only Shodin had the fear response?
Puzz stared at him, then frowned slightly, looking away. "Because... I don't know."
It was useless trying to make sense of something if one person had memory problems. Though, he'd only really assumed that, hadn't he? And Marland wasn't really one to judge, because he reacted on instinct a lot of the time without knowing why; his magic was one of them, and he wouldn't have been able to explain anything about it either if asked.
"Do you remember anything?" he prodded. He should probably TRY to get some answers for Shodin - it'd stop him from asking those questions at least - or probably start a whole slew of them. But whatever he did, Shodin would always have questions, so it didn't really matter.
Puzz frowned, looking away again. He was quiet for a few minutes, and then shook his head. "Walls and trees." Right. He shouldn't have expected anything. "Pain." A shuddery breath. "Lots of pain."
Marland eyed him, waiting to see if Puzz would say anything else, but he didn't, head bowed, fingers twitching. So Puzz had a slightly better memory of what had happened before, but not by much, and nothing that could be considered an answer either. Still, if he reacted like that, then it was probably a good thing that neither of them remembered.
Shaking his head roughly, Puzz mulishly said, "Don't want Shodin doing magic."
Marland shrugged, snorting. "You think I'd be able to stop him?"
He got a firm nod in return. "Yes."
Ha. Marland snorted again. "He wouldn't listen to me and just keep doing it anyway." If there was something Shodin was interested in, he went after it. Simple. He was pretty hard to derail once he had the idea in his head, and he kept coming back to it later, even after Marland had thought the subject was closed.
Puzz grumbled, shoulders drooping. He should PROBABLY know how stubborn Shodin was –even with the memory problems; he should have seen what Shodin was like now- but if he was only concerned with protecting him, that could have eclipsed everything else.
That was when Marland remembered something. "You don't want Shodin doing magic, but you don't mind me doing it?" He paused. "And you can do it too," he added as an afterthought. This conversation was going all over the place, picking up threads that had been discarded a while ago, and not quite remembering why they were there in the first place.
Puzz frowned. "I said that?"
And maybe Puzz had the slightly better memory of what had happened before, but actually remembering anything was hard for him. So Puzz might have known what had happened to them, but he'd forgotten it now. It could explain why he was talking differently from when Marland first met him, even accounting for the panic, Puzz had been speaking better then than he was now. He seemed to act more instinctual than he was before as well.
Puzz huffed. "Better for protection."
"Wouldn't it be better if Shodin could protect himself as well?" And what the hell was he saying? Ugh. He was blaming his mouth going off before his brain could even process the question properly on the lack of sleep. He was just reacting at the moment.
But the only way he could get some sleep would be if he was lying next to Puzz. And there was no fucking way that was going to happen. He wouldn't want to explain to Shodin why the hell was he was waking up in Marland's bed either. Unless Puzz wandered off back to his… their… his bed while he was sleeping, but he really didn't want to trust that to happen, because it wouldn't. If Puzz had no problem with personal space, then there wouldn't be any point in leaving, right?
He was also trying to convince Puzz that it was okay for Shodin to try and do magic. Which, while he hadn't been completely against it when Shodin had suggested it, then if or when Shodin did learn how to control his… their… yeah, their magic, Shodin would be trying to come with him when he went out hunting. By then, he wouldn't really have a reason why NOT to bring Shodin, apart from 'lack of experience', and Shodin had already argued against that one.
Then what Puzz said filtered through. Marland growled at him, wings flicking out. "Who says I'm going to protect him?"
As per usual, Puzz wasn't affected by his threat display. "You have magic." Again, it was said in a simple tone, like it was obvious.
"Just because I have magic, doesn't automatically mean I'll protect him." Except it did, because Marland's job was essentially to protect humans. It wouldn't matter if Marland had magic or not. And if he didn't protect him, he'd get blamed for Shodin's death. He could also be blamed for trying to protect Shodin as well, depending on the person who was telling the account.
"But…" Puzz trailed off, wrinkling his nose. "Yes, he would be better protected if he could use magic too." And he'd just completely ignored what Marland had said.
He sighed. No point trying to correct him; he was extremely stubborn when it was about Shodin's safety - not to mention, it WAS true that he would protect Shodin, just not because he wanted to.
"So you'll be teaching Shodin how to do magic then?"
At that, Puzz's face crumpled. Oh fucking hell. Did he just start the cycle all over again?
"He doesn't remember me."
"And that affects things, how?" he snapped.
Puzz shook his head, gathering himself. It was slow, but he eventually didn't look so downtrodden. "Shouldn't be here," he said quietly. What? Then, "Don't know how to teach him." That was said just as quiet.
"What do you mean, 'shouldn't be here?'" That had come out of nowhere. And WHO shouldn't be here? Him? Shodin? Or Puzz?
Puzz hunkered down more, a small whine escaping his throat. "Don't know. Just know shouldn't be here."
Great. "So…" Marland said, eyeing him, "you're going to try and get away?" He really didn't want to see the results if that happened. He doubted either of them would be able to survive for very long, not unless someone took them in. Which could be entirely possible, but he wondered how they would react if Puzz took control of Shodin at some point.
A blink, and then a shake of the head, shoulders slumping. "Can't. Shodin wouldn't want to." And Shodin was his entire world. So, Puzz cared that much about Shodin, but Shodin didn't remember him whatsoever. That must really suck for him.
Suddenly Puzz froze, eyes flying wide, breath stuttering. His eyes then glazed over, becoming half-lidded, and he fell forward, rolling to the side when he hit the bed. Marland barely had enough time to blink before Puzz stiffened, raising a hand to rub at his head.
He got up slowly, legs crossing under him as he sat back. Marland could already guess what had happened.
Shodin jerked back when he noticed that he wasn't alone. After the initial shock, the surprise was quickly replaced with curiosity.
"Mar-" he began, before he stopped halfway, frowning in puzzlement. He cleared his throat, one hand going to lightly touch the bandages around his neck.
"Ah, I guess-" another clearing of the throat "-that you were talking with Puzz again?"
He nodded, then watched Shodin take in the room around him, eyes going back and forth. Not that there was anything interesting in his room. Not to MARLAND anyway; to Shodin, it was probably a wealth of stuff to be asked about.
Shodin then stretched slowly, threading his fingers together and raised them high above his head. He cocked his head to the side, eyes soft, knuckles tapping lightly on his knee. "Hmm," he eventually said, getting off the bed. "Well, I need to use the restroom." While Marland was still trying to get past the fact that Shodin hadn't asked even one question, Shodin was already at the door. "Sleep well," he said softly just as he left the room.
What the hell? Shodin wasn't going to ask? That was weird… But, Puzz had been avoiding him, and then Shodin woke up in the middle of their conversation, so… That had to look bad. And Puzz would – argh, why the hell did he CARE?
Because he'd been in their situation – still was, completely cut off from their home world, with no-one who was familiar.
Marland covered his eyes with a palm. Why the hell was he attempting to think of a way to FIX this? It wasn't like he was any good –or had any experience- of how to deal with that kind of close friendship. Or whatever the hell you could call whatever Shodin and Puzz had.
Sighing, he stalked out his room and headed to the bathroom. It wasn't long before Shodin emerged. He inclined his head, eyebrows showing a little confusion.
"Puzz is worried about you and – and, really I have no fucking idea how the hell he thinks." In the time that they'd spent talking with each other, they hadn't really covered that much. Explaining something wasn't Marland's strong point either. Or talking, really.
Shodin blinked and Marland whirled around to go back to his room, not sure why he was, because Shodin would ask more questions anyway so there was no point in leaving.
"Wait, I don't understand." Really no point in leaving.
Grumbling, Marland sat down on one of the chairs. He nearly missed and toppled over because he wasn't careful enough. He just wanted to go back to sleep. "I don't either. All I know is that he's worried about you and he's freaking out over how you don't remember him."
Shodin's eyebrows drew together as he sat on the chair closest to him. "But then, if that's how he feels, then wouldn't it be better if we got to know each other again, rather than avoiding me?"
"Ha," Marland snorted. "You want LOGICAL thinking from him?" And Puzz was… hurt too. If Pai had suddenly forgotten all about him, Marland would definitely be affected by it. Kendal's team too, but for different reasons – they'd be trying to KILL him.

Ahhhh. *reads on*
Hm, so Puzz remembers a little more, but that's not much at all. =x
And maybe Puzz had the slightly better memory of what had happened before, but actually remembering anything was hard for him.
*blinks* Short-term memory?
But the only way he could get some sleep would be if he was lying next to Puzz.
Ahahahaha. XD; Wrong mental image.

Awww. ):
Huh~, Shodin's not asking questions. :3
Aw, I love it that Marland bothered to tell Shoidn Puzz's worries. And...their conversation from before really was going in circles, haha.
"Ha," Marland snorted. "You want LOGICAL thinking from him?" And Puzz was… hurt too. If Pai had suddenly forgotten all about him, Marland would definitely be affected by it. Kendal's team too, but for different reasons – they'd be trying to KILL him.
I was going awww, and then, erk! Not good!

Date: Nov. 24th, 2010 04:35 am (UTC)Something like that. Puzz doesn't exactly have definite memory problems - well, okay, he does, but it's not so cut-and-dry as 'memory cuts off here'. He had the memory before, but he'd been so focused on Shodin that he hadn't been refreshing his memory so it eventually faded. This part will need lots added to it if/when I edit.
XDD Nooo, probably the same image I had, but Marland just doesn't think of anything like that.
:( I know.
X____X It waaaas. When I looked at it again when writing that bit I was going, 'okay, so they talked about that and... repeat and... okaaay...'
XDD
no subject
Date: Nov. 24th, 2010 06:27 am (UTC)Puzz felt a lot younger to me here. I guess it's because he's confused and depressed and not reacting but rather... moping. XD Haha, any more of that, Marland would have been frustraaaated. That conversation went nowhere. XD
