Yuuma Melikov I hope it's alright. Mars is already terrified and bleeding. Have fun.

So Mars would admit that trying to get into a nightclub wasn't the smartest thing to do when they looked like they were actually thirteen, but they had brought their ID and you only had to be eighteen years old to get into that club. They were twenty and their ID clearly illustrated that. They hadn't even wanted alcohol, just something to drink like soda or even water. They had walked up to the bouncer and gotten a couple strange looks, but they just wanted a drink and this was the closest place that was open at this time of night. Still the bouncer wouldn't even hear them out while they explained the reason they looked so young.
Mars was turned away and ended up just sitting on the curb with their head in their hands trying to think of the next closest place. They could always just go back to their dorm room, but they wanted to hang our for a while. They groaned. There was never anything fun to do. It wasn't like they could phone up any of their friends because they didn't really have anybody would would vouch for them that they were in fact twenty and not just some kid with a good fake ID.
When they looked back at the doorway they saw the bouncers rotate and new bouncer was standing in front of the door now. Mars got back up and walked over.
Once again they were stopped by the bouncer. "No." Was the only word they got from the new bouncer this time. "Wait I'm actually twenty and here's my ID and I just want some soda." They stated quickly then flashed a large smile. They watched the bouncer shake her head and point away from the door. Mars groaned again and started walking away from the club.
I seemed as if they weren't going to get their drink there.
They sniffed the air as they smelt something that seemed vaguely feline. Mars' walking slowly sped up as their anxiety about cats rose. They turned to look behind them to see what their nose had picked up, but as they turned they tripped and felt the skin on their hands grind across the pavement. Mars furrowed their brow as they looked at their palms, which now had small beads of blood sprouting from the places where the pavement had split their skin.
As they looked at their hands they remembered the reason why they had tripped they looked towards where they had scented the feline and found a rather small silhouette getting closer. Mars felt their heart leap into their throats at the thought of some feline-esque person maybe or possibly murdering them in the dead of night. It was unlikely but they were already scared enough of cats as is without it being the middle of the night.

[attr="class","slowlyrics"]Sparklers in every hand
[attr="class","slowlyrics1"]Life's never felt so good
[attr="class","slowbod"]Now Yuuma was not what most would consider 'normal' He was far from it! He was even considered a freak. Why? because he was technically what they called Albino. He had snow white hair, or rather black now that he dyed it to look semi normal. His skin was way to pale for any normal person. He held little to no tan even during the summer heat. Not to mention his pretty crimson red eyes. If that wasn't bad enough! He also had what look like a roll of arrows circling all the way down his right arm leading to his middle finger. A set of >< all the way from his neck down to under his clothing. two x's under both his right eye and under his bottom, right, lip. Bot to mention the few that was hidden under his clothing. Speaking of clothing! Currently Yuuma had on a pair of black, slightly baggy, pants with green suspenders attached to them.. A white short sleeve shirt with blood stains on it, fresh blood stains might i add. A bit of blood splatter on his right cheek. But the worse part of it all? he had a scythe laying lazily over his shoulders, his hands upwards holding it there.
waking down the street he started humming happily as he was headed back home. He knew Tavi had hated when he left. When he went to visit his parents because he always came back like this. The only difference was, this time he wasn't fighting per-say. He was just taking care of business for his fathers. he was just on clean up duty. so he was pretty happy right now because he figured so long as he cleaned up and showed he wasn't hurt this time then tavi would just let it go and he wouldn't say nothing else. Grinning at the thought he couldn't help but to cry out in a sing song manner. "All you beautiful freaks. Just grab somebody and light the place up. Light the place up., yeah." He smiled happily, not even caring who looked at him. "If your a beautiful freak, no sleep! Light the place up! Yeah!" he chimed happily.
That is to say until he heard something in the alley way. Blinking a few times he tilted his head in confusion. Was that a cat that ran by him? Cocking his head back to see the cat running off he shrugged and decided to go check it out. Maybe there was a fight and just maybe Grey sheep would have to teach someone else some lessons! Smiling happily he turned on his heels, heading over there. Although when he noticed that there was just one person there. That the 'boy' seemed to be on the ground he found himself even more confused now. "Hey kid are you okay?" Yuuma cried out, like he had the right o talk, he was often mistaken for a child himself. But he didn't know better. He had kids of his own so he just figured someone would correct him if he was wrong. Removing his scythe from around his shoulder he held it with his right hand, extending his left hand to the other. "Need a hand?" He snickered playful. Sure he didn't realize how weird this might be. A 'child' standing in front of you with his hand out stretched while he wore blood, held a scythe and was covered in red tattoo's all over the right side of his body.

Yuuma Melikov Dang just hop in here and terrify mars more than they already were.
►
When Mars was moving away from what they had guessed was a cat they heard a faint voice further away, but they had assumed it was somebody leaving the club. And as the feline scent got further away they noticed a different one getting closer. They weren't too sure what it was, but then they fell and they became a lot less worried about it.
From the ground they heard somebody talk to them, asking if they were okay. Mars turned to see who it was. At first they noticed that the person looked a lot like a child, but they also looked like a kid so they didn't assume anything, but then they noticed the scythe that he was carrying and that made Mars scramble backwards a little.
Then they noticed the interesting outfit the boy was wearing that was, in fact, covered in blood. Mars swapped into being invisible and pulled theirself into a stranding position. They looked down the street trying to see if anybody was around, but found that the closest place with people was probably the club that was already multiple blocks away. Okay so they were doing this.
The possible kid didn't seem mean, so Mars put on a smile and stopped being invisible. "Oh yeah no problem here! I'm fine really just a small scrape, not like it'll kill me." They stated and showed their palms, which were no where near as bloody as this boy. If anything was going to kill them, it was going to be the boy. "So, um, are you... alright?" They asked hesitantly, eyeing the blood and scythe. With those two things mixed together it really seemed like the boy was either hurt or he had hurt somebody.

[attr="class","slowlyrics1"]Life's never felt so good
[attr="class","slowbod"]Seeing the other scrambling back like that Yuuma felt a bit bad! Well not so much as felt bad but he knew he should have! so he opened his mouth to speak only to see Mars going invisible. blinking a few times he was so confused! He could smell them but he couldn't see them! So he really wasn't to sure what was going on right now. "Um.." He called out a bit confused. although seeing the other showing back up.. Yuuma just figured his eyes was playing tricks on him! So he didn't think nothing else of it for now. Smiling happily when Mars finally addressed him, he couldn't be happier right now. He was practically beaming with excitement. "I'm fine thank you! It's not my blood! I was on clean up duty for Rii! So don't worry im not hurt!"
He wasn't sure why he thought some random stranger was going to be worried about him but the possibility of someone actually caring and worrying over him was a bit sweet. He wasn't used to that. Holding his tattoo'd hand out once more. he gave a playful grin and a wiggle. "I'm Yuuma! It's nice to meet you!" He chimed happily.. only to realize something. He probably looked really weird didn't he? That must be why the other was looking at him like that. "Oh oh! I'm sorry! Where are my manners. I'm Yuuma Orn..no Yuuma Melikov! This is grey sheep. She's my partner. We wont hurt you if that's what your worried about! We are harmless unless we are ordered otherwise!" He showed off a toothy grin.
H wasn't really sure how that was better, how that would ever make someone feel better. So he decided to quickly recover with a.. "I mean! How are you? You look like you're having a really bad night! Anything i can do? What's your name? I don't want to call you kid. That seems rude to me!" The more he spoke, the happier he got the more Mars could make out a clear and rather strong french accent. Pulling his hand back he placed them behind his back, almost as if he was trying to give them a better sense of comfort, or at least show him he meant no harm. Smiling happily Yuuma closed his eyes, tilting his head to the side with one final comment. "Your really short aren't cha? You make me feel short!" Snickering playfully he really couldn't help himself. It wasn't often he found someone almost as short, or shorter then him. After all he was just a mere 5'6" at 38. The shortest in his whole family too. talk about insult to injury.

Yuuma Melikov Mars stop lying your night has been very nerve wracking.
►
Mars hadn't really meant to go invisible, as usually it was a nervous reaction instead of an actual thing that they wanted to do. Going invisible was something they rarely did in their human form as they found there wasn't many reasons for it. At this moment the reason for it might end up being to flee from a guy with a scythe.
The strange person spoke about somebody named Rii and how he was on clean up duty. Mars wasn't sure that they liked the sound of that. If it wasn't his own blood then it had to be somebody else's, or something else's. And what sort of clean up duty involved blood? The only thing that they could think of would be cleaning up some sort of crime scene and that could mean two things. A crime scene cleaner for the law, or perhaps a more dubious cleaner, hopefully he was less dubious than some.
When the scary guy told Mars that his name was Yuuma they gave him a smile that was perhaps a bit too wide. They looked down at Yuuma's outstretched hand to their own slightly bloody one. They supposed that he wouldn't mind the dots of crimson and they decided to shake his hand, however as Yuuma kept speaking Mars found theirself growing more and more terrified. They kept their smile though.
"Well it's so very nice to meet you Yuuma Orn and grey sheep. I do dearly hope you have no orders to harm me at all." Mars chirped and then chuckled nervously. They couldn't help but feel that they should start running and not look back, but by the way that scythe looked they figured that they might not get far. They also figured it might show fear, and that was something they refused to do. So they stayed put for the time being.
The next words seemed slightly more comfortable, but not too terribly much. "Oh, no, my night's been fine. Except for people not letting me in places and me skinning my own palms, but aside from that my night's been fine." Mars explained with another nervous chuckle punctuating their speaking. "My name is Mars and I'm really not a kid so I guess it's better if you knew my name." They stated.
That almost comforting line of questions was followed by one that made them tilt their head ever so slightly. "I guess I am fairly short, but I'm pretty much the same height as you are." Mars stated and motioned their hand to the top of their heads. Mars was 5'7" and Yuuma looked to be only a little shorter than that. "You're much more intimidating than I am though." Mars chimed after a moment's hesitation. With the scythe and blood they figured that Yuuma had to realize just how scary he appeared.

[attr="class","slowlyrics1"]Life's never felt so good
[attr="class","slowbod"]When Mars took his hand, Yuuma found himself smiling happily back at the other. Shaking their hand happily. He liked them already! Even if they was obviously scared of him. Which for Yuuma he didn't see why. he wasn't all that scary right? It had to be the tats he told himself. Everyone thought that his random and weird Tattoo's was just.. well weird and creepy. He knew Tavi didn't know what to think when they first meet too! So he just smiled at Mars and listen to them speaking. But when he was called Orn.. well he found himself laughing. "No, no! That was a habit! My maiden name is Ornsparre! My new surname is Melikov! I'm just used to Ornsparre!" Like that wasn't awkward to say at all. But hey! It was Yuuma, this was completely normal for the little cat demon!
Although he had to admit he was happy when Mars greeted his scythe! Most people didn't, but then again.. Most people didn't get to see it because Tavi didn't like Yuuma walking around with the Scythe on his back. It scares people, he said. Ohh... that would explain why Mars looked nervous! Now it was making sense to him! "Rii doesn't order me to kill normal citizens! Rii only tells me to kill the enemies and the prisoners he is finished with!" That was totally normal thing to say wasn't it? After all who would be scared of someone that said something like that? Oh right any normal person that was who. Although Yuuma wasn't one of them, so he just moved on the conversation like nothing he said was out of the normal in the least.
Tilting his head to the side slightly he looked around to see where they was. was he trying to get in a bar? "Well that's fine! I know what that's like! People think im sixteen allll the time. Tavi has to tell them im really thirty eight and i just have a baby face. I suppose that's because my demon blood? But i don't know. My grandfather still looks like he's in his twenties and he's over two hundred! So you know!" Beaming with joy right now he couldn't help but to give a playful laugh. "If your hurt though i can take Mars back Tavi and my house! Tavi is really good at tending to wounds!" If Mars didn't think tonight could get any stranger he was about to be proven wrong.
Reaching down Yuuma started to undo the buttons on his shirt only to pull it apart and revel that his chest to his pant line had been covered in bandages from a few nights back. "See! Tavi is the best at treating wounds! I love Tavi so much!" He spoke with a almost child like innocents before going back to buttoning up his shirt. Humming happily though he didn't mind that his scythe had fallen when he went to undo his shirt to show Mars. "You're much more intimidating than I am though." Hearing that he actually found himself laughing and flashing the other a mischievous grin. "That's what my tavi says too! I don't think Tavi likes the fact i can scare the kids and Tavi just comes off as the sweet one that is subject to the kids teasing."
He snickered playfully before going to pick his scythe up. Yuuma knew he talked to much, he knew he said things he probably shouldn't. But frankly he didn't even think nothing of it because he knew no one really paid to much mind to the things he said. Besides he was trained to avoid certain things when he was speaking. So he just went with the first thing that popped into his head. Standing there waiting for Mars to take it all in Yuuma just decided to add his two cents once more by saying, "Oh! If the bar won't let you in im Sure Tavi has something back at home! Tavi drinks on occasions. I don't know if its because me or what but hey! Having a husband like me, you need something." Maybe he made fun of himself a bit, but he couldn't help but to joke with the other. Figuring it might make them feel a bit more comfortable.

Yuuma Melikov horrified Mars trying to stay calm is really fun to write.
►
It seemed like the horrifying guy was please with Mars actually shaking his hand, for whatever reason Mars wasn't show. Surly they didn't look as horrified as they were? They would like to believe that they looked stoic and brave, but they probably looked like a terrified toddler more than anything. They took a calming breath in as Yuuma corrected the introduction and explained it. That last name sounded familiar. Where had they heard the name Ornsparre before? Either way another nervous chuckle bubbled out of Mars' chest. "Whoopsie. I misunderstood what you said." They giggled. "Well either way Melikov or Ornsparre it's nice to meet you Yuuma." Their mind dwelled on the similar sounds that you and Yuuma created. That was just a way of focusing on positives though, instead of the blood.
It seemed like Mars really needed to focus on the good things. Their smile grew wider as Yuuma spoke about who Rii would and wouldn't order him to kill. The last time they had been around death they had been thirteen and here they were seven years later with a guy covered in blood after a cleanup job that Mars figured might be from some sort of murder. They kept the smile on their face, however terrified they actually looked they were going to keep that smile on their face if it killed them. "Well that's just swell to hear." Well and swell are also rhyming words, Mars thought. "I'm glad you probably won't be ordered to kill me anytime soon." Then another nervous chuckle. They really had to get that in check. It was a dead give away about the full blown panic attack that they were about to fall into. This guy seemed nice, if only really strange and incredibly terrifying, but he seemed nice, and Mars didn't want that to change.
Mars nodded as Yuuma spoke about his and his grandfather's age. "Yeah, you can't trust appearances in this town. Somebody who looks thirty could really be two hundred years older. You never know." They agreed, suppressing another chuckle.
They looked down at their palms as Yuuma said that he could take them back to Tavi to treat their wounds. "I'm surreee..." They trailed off as they saw Yuuma unbuttoning the front of his shirt and the bandages below it. At the unexpected sight what had originally meant to be a polite refusal suddenly ended up sounding much more like a hesitant confirmation that, sure Mars would go with Yuuma to get patched up. The sight of all of his bandages had made them kind of numb. Once again they were thinking about seven years ago.
"Yeah it looks like Tavi is really good at that." Mars murmured. Hearing more about this 'Tavi' made Mars feel like perhaps having them around would make it easier for them to calm their nerves. From the sounds of things Tavi was definitely the less intimidating one out of the pair.
Mars found theirself giggling again at what Yuuma said about the drinking. "I don't really drink, I just wanted like, a soda or something and that was the closest place open. I figured I'd try my hand at getting in, but no such luck." They explained and shrugged. "And I'm sure you aren't too much of a handful." The giggling came back again. The sight of the bandages and the current blood on Yuuma's shirt made it evident that he probably was at least a little bit of a handful. Never a dull moment, as the saying goes.
