There! November thought, his mind savage, as the girl before him opened herself up unintentionally. He drew his hand back, preparing to gut her like the dog she was, when a sudden wash of subtle power came over him. November froze, moving only to counter the last of her attacks, if she gave them.
"Well, November," drawled a voice like black silk, coming from the forest just behind the white-haired boy, "I hadn\'t expected to find you fighting so below your level." As the voice continued to flow, its owner stepped closer to the two of them and into the realm of the readily visible. He was tall and lean, with pale skin and ink-dark hair that matched the flowing black robes he wore. The only similarity between November and this newcomer was the presence of feline ears and a lithe tail, though both were the polar opposite of November\'s own in hue.

His face, too, did a complete 180 - no longer was it the death mask it had been, but much softer and now, even, graced with a real smile. "December!

As he did, his pale orange eyes turned to the girl.
"Now then... just what were you thinking?" December asked the girl, his lips barely moving as he spoke but his eyes boring directly into hers. He looked as though all of his focus was on her, as though she were the most important thing in his world, and suddenly everything boiled down to him. With a sudden shock, the girl would realise just how attractive he was, realise just how much she wanted him...
