"That's the last of it!" Nicolas grunted as he threw an overly taped up cardboard box into the bed of his hovertruck with a crash. He flinched, before looking in to check on it... It was probably alright. He chuckled nervously, running a hand through his shaggy brown hair as he took a step back to inspect his handiwork. It had been about a month since he had gotten accepted into WCU and he was just packing up the last of his things before he made his move to the big city. In that frantic whirlwind of four weeks filled with preparing this and that it never really dawned on Nicolas that he'd be finally moving away from the tiny Seasalt Town. Seeing his old beat up hovertruck full of boxes, furniture, and random doodads that didn't fit either category all crammed in a manner that would make a tetris player cringe left a surge of mixed emotions in his mind. Part of him was swelling with pride, because he had finally done it! He was making his move towards his future and his dreams. The other part, meanwhile tugged at his heart. Her had spent most of his life in Seasalt after all. It pained him to move so far away from his friends and family, he hated the feeling of leaving them. Eventually, however, he settled on a smile as he leaned back a bit. "Today is really the day..." He let out a gentle chuckle as he walked to the hood of the rusty black vehicle and lay against it... He just watched the clouds with a soft smile on his face.

Ramina was walking around the bend towards Nicolas' house; her sensitive ears had picked up on loud thunks and she decided to investigate. Following her ears, she came across her old friend as he stared up at the clouds. His things seemed to be in the back of a truck, confusing the Zoan.
"Hey.. Nicolas? What's going on?" The Zoanthrope spoke, voice concerned and actually slightly upset. "Are.. You moving? Why didn't you tell me..?" Her ears dropped from their naturally perked state, gazing at her friend with hurt orange eyes.

Nicolas scrambled to stand and wave confidently as he heard his friends voice call out to him. His sheepish smile turned into a distressed frown as each question was fired like an assault rifle. The depressing droop of the silver cat's cute pointed ears and the betrayal twinged in her vibrant orange eyes caused the young man's heart to tug in his chest. He hated seeing his friends upset, doubly so if he happened to be the cause. "R-Rami! Please don't be upset!" He urged as he quickly close the distance between them. "I...I should have told you earlier yeah but, things have been pretty crazy these last couple of weeks and I've barely had any time to think or act or even do anything! I feel so overwhelmed and scatter brained and well..." He sighed hanging his head so he'd pull away from her eyes. "I guess...The easiest way for me to explain is from the beginning..."
Hew took a step back, cleared his throat and looked to the girl dead on. "I got accepted into WCU and forgot to tell you because I am a total, complete, and irredeemable idiot." He spoke plainly, a big dumb and overly sheepish grin on his face. "...Seriously though Rami, I should have talked with you to let you know... I'm really sorry. Can you forgive me?" He looked into the snow Leopard's eyes with sincerity. His slumped shoulders and his constant rubbing at the back of his neck (his nervous tic) only seeming to accentuate the fact that he realized he dun goofed.

Ramina's orange eyes were laced with her sadness, ears low to her head as a finger curled some of her hair around it. Her friend tried to make it up to her, closing the distance between them as he urged her to not be upset. He told her of the apparent mess happening; leaving the zoan confused as to exactly what had been going on. Nicolas hung his head, to which the cute cat tilted her own. The friend looked her dead on and began explaining; he'd been accepted to a school and had his trademark stupid grin on his face.
The zoanthrope could only shake her head softly and smile, tail softly swishing behind her. The human started rubbing the back of his neck, and the feline purred softly. "Yeah, I guess I could forgive you. Only because you're such a goof that I can't stay angry at you to begin with. Nicolas, you're the next level of idiot but somehow I still am your friend and I always will be. No matter how many times you screw up." Her voice was sincere, eyes meeting his. The giant orange orbs belonging to the zoan's facial features glinted lightly int the sun. "Goofball."

"Ouch, your words Rami! They cut me deep! I'm wounded!" He dramatically clutched his chest as he stumbled back against his truck. He thrust his headback while covering his face with the back of his hand. Save for one eye and a playful smirk that broke through. He moved his hands to his sides with a laugh as he shook his head. "I'm starting to remember why I 'forgot' to tell you I was leaving." He teased giving her a warm spirited chuckle and another one of his 'trademarked smiles.' He idly tapped the side of his truck signifying the girl to take a lean before he went back to looking to the clouds.
"Y'know, whenever I get my place set up you're gonna have to come and visit." He cut his gaze aside to her briefly. "Then again, I didnt pay my pet deposit so you might need to come in a disguise." He snickered poking fun at the cat befire shaking his head. "Seriously though Ramina, don't your folks have a shop in West City? If they do I'm sure we could cross paths!"

The feline giggled as Nicolas played around, ears perked and amusement clear in her vibrant orange eyes. "Oh no, I have to get a shovel and hide the evidence!" Replied the cat, putting a mock paw to her mouth. Getting calm again, she spoke as the silver feline walked towards her friend and leaned against the truck. "You know, you can be quite the pain sometimes."
Her childhood friend mentioned her coming to visit, and a pet deposit made her softly snort. "I'm not a pet, so your home owner and I might need to do a little talking. I'm glad to hear that things are going well for you though!" Ramina smiled softly, taking a breath before finishing. "No silly, we work in East Capitol."

"It was a joke you dork." Nicolas teased before giving her a playful nudge with his elbow. "And what's the difference between East and West City save a few thousand miles." He said, trying his best to stay optimistic and positive despite the reality that he was really making one hell of a move. He sort of frowned at that, his own joke going south and making him feel bad. He sighed before letting his gaze linger on her. The cute little snow leopard was so content and so happy just...Hanging out that it was going to be tough. Almost impossible. He was going to miss times like this.
He sighed, forcing a smile before leaning back. "We're gonna be okay yeah?" He asked tilting his head lightly trying to keep the air light. "We'll still hang out..." He said almost as of he were just reassuring himself. He scratched the back of his neck as he looked aside.
"...Right?"

Ramina twitched her ear as her friend elbowed her, turning her orange gaze onto him as a smile split the zoanthrope's muzzle. "Hey, we'll still be friends you know." Replied the silver cat, noticing that he seemed to be self-reassuring. "Yes, Right." The cat put her paw on his shoulder, soft fur brushing against his cheek in the process. "I told you, no matter what, we would still be friends." The feline enjoyed hanging out, simply looking at the clouds or picnics or even boat rides. She didn't like seeing her best friend stressed, and gently pawed at his nose. "Hey, cheer up sourpuss." She teased.

"No, I refuse to smile and be cheery. Sour is my new default expression." He spoke in an exaggerated snooty manner that seemed to bew in line with his other numerous silly voices he made on the fly. "I'm a grumpy artsy college student now." He revealed giving a droopy frown while he desperately tried to keep this new 'persona' up. It was hard though, the faintest hints of a brewing fit of snickers and belly laughs flickered in his eyes as the older cat playfully batted his nose in her attempt to tease him and get him to smile.
"Meeehhhh happiness is overrated! Meeehhhh I'm pretending to be deep by shouting shallow thoughtless opinions! Meeehhhh!" He squawked poking fun at the standard angsty college kid stereotype. He cracked a genuine grin as he glanced aside to Rami giving her another 'Meeehhh' in the grump voice before unleashing the storm of giggles.
"So have I scared you off yet? My genius plan is to annoy you enough that you won't miss me." He said through a few chuckles and snickers.

The silver cat rolled her eyes as she listened to her friend; Nicolas being the pure goofball she knew him as it was rather amusing to see him acting like this. For how far it was from his regular personality, the voices accompanying his act made Ramina raise a paw to her mouth to stifle a few contagious giggles. He asked if he scared her off, revealing his 'master plan'. To that the feline promptly huffed and went to leave, sneaking behind the truck and climbing to the top, where she'd attempt to pounce on her friend in a playful manner.
For how old they were, Ramina loved talking to her friend and playfully batting his nose or pouncing on him unexpectedly just to see his face. If he dodged; she'd land on her paws and stand up with a sheepish rub to the back of her neck similar to how Nico did so. "Nah, I'll always miss you. You and your stupid antics." The silver Zoan said this in an extremely sheepish yet playful manner, perking up her ears and grinning.

Nicolas stumbled as he suddenly felt the full weight of his friend come crashing down on him from her devious little pounce. In a surprising twist however her dainty form wasn't enough to get him to buckle! Even with the full brunt of her fluffy assault he stood tall! "Hehe! Nice try but now I gotcha!" He grinned as he suddenly grabbed her legs and pulled her up into a piggyback position. "You can't escape, we're going for a walk now." He announced as he suddenly began to walk off carrying the girl out of his yard and into the town. "Maybe we should go find Victoria (@grace) so I can show her my stylish new backpack!" He teased, giving her a bit of a bump to readjust her position.
Despite the confused and amused glances Nicolas would walk onward with a big grin on his face. "I figured we could go by our usual spot at the pier to talk a bit." He simply said looking back to the snow cat with a smirk. "Maybe if you're good I wont jump in the water with you." He joked laughing warmly as he leaned back a bit. His eyes scanned the darkening sky as the sun began to set. If he hurried they could catch the splashes of twilight color on the ocean as the sun set. It would be an awesome send off and a good place to unwind and relax.
He was sure Rami didn't mind the ride...

Ramina's cheeks turned slightly red, standing out against her silver fur. He pulled her into a piggyback position, and she placed her front paws on his head and ruffled his hair. He announced they were going on a walk, something the zoan found slightly embarrassing considering how old they were and her piggyback position. He spoke of this Victoria; to which at first her mind made no connection but the silver kitty rolled with the flow of the conversation.
She turned slightly more red as the looks they got practically seared her skin, making the snow leopard zoanthrope turn almost sunburn-red in the cheeks. He tilted backwards, to which on auto reflex she unleashed her claws and fluffed up her fur, clinging to Nicolas' head in fright. As he spoke of tossing them in the water, she grumbled. "Oh you better not or I'll scratch up all your clothes."

Nicolas snickered, feeling his friend fidget and squirm under the gazes of the other townspeople. Nicolas was a well known goof though so it didn't bother him and even if people did judge the innocent walk they'd probably judge him the harshest. Still, none of that mattered as the Nicolas brought Ramina to their destination. The beach nestled on the outskirts of Seasalt wasn't a particularly well known tourist trap like the Southern Capitol was. It was a quiet little place but there was still plenty of surf, sun, and sand, to have a good time. One of Nicolas' favorite spots though was the large fishing pier that stretched out into the ocean. He often came there with either Rami or Vicky to just watch the waves and talk. It was a truly serene sight and he wanted to take it in one last time before he moved on. So, with a bitter sweet feeling tugging at his heart he would carry the leopard down the wooden platform. His heavy footsteps caused the salt soaked wood to creak beneath his feet."You decided to crash my move at the perfect time Rami." He said with a smile as he looked back to his friend. "I was kind of hoping to come by here, I'm glad we can go together." He spoke honestly as he looked to the watercolor horizon that just got closer and closer with each step. A bit of marine wind greeted the young man and tickled his nose with the scent of salt and sand as they finally reached the edge. He finally eased the feline down before leaning forward against the railing.
"...You know what fluff-butt? Other than you, Vicky, and my family, I'm really gonna miss the view here." His lips curled up into a smile that just seem to radiate warmth. "Sometimes when I'd come here alone at this time I'd bring my paints and try to capture this sunset." He explained looking out to see the sun just starting to kiss the water as it began it's descent. His forest green hues seemed to reflect the glittering light of the sun on the waves as he stared. "I mean, try is the operative word. Some of the time the wind would send most of my attempts into the ocean." He chuckled shaking his head. "One time a seagull took my paintbrush even!" He laughed harder as he continued reminiscing.

SHOOT! FORGOT ABOUT THIS DX Sorry! )
As the two walked towards the beach, the cat tried to squirm away. Of course, Ramina didn't exactly like getting wet with seawater and trying to squirm away from Nicolas failed miserably, so she rested her head on her paws, of which the upper two were on his head and listened. Thankfully, she was soon put down and got on the other side of the fence, fur fluffed up at the water close by.
"So, you think I'm a fluffbutt? Maybe you're a wet man!" With that, she'd attempt to tackle him into the ocean past the railing and jump away, grasping for the railing only to fall in the water whether she missed Nicolas or not. A splash would sound as she belly-flopped into the water, floundering and clinging to one of the support beams; scrambling up it and clinging for dear life as her fur dripped.

Nicolas yelped as he was caught off guard by the playful kitten's 'revenge' attempt, and as such the two ended up tumbling into the water with a loud splash in an awkward tangle of limbs and body parts. As they separated under the waves Nicolas blinked, the salt in the water burning his eyes lightly as he tried to focus on registering what just happened. Did he really get pushed off the pier for calling Rami fluff-butt? He shook his head under the water in disbelief, just letting the situation sink in as he sank down.
His bemused state would be stripped away however as he caught sight of Rami's actual fluff-butt and legs scrambling to reach the surface. He let out a gasp (choking a bit on the saltwater.) Was she having trouble staying afloat?! Could she not swim?! The thought of Ramina struggling and drowning caused his heart to sink and caused something to spark within him.
A gold aura would flare around him briefly as he shot to the surface like a bullet. Before Ramina could react she'd feel Nicolas' arm wrap around her waist and suddenly hoist her up to the railing where she could hopefully pull herself up. How he managed to shoot to the surface and to the top of the pier would be something that would have to be asked later.
Nicolas panted hanging on to the rail before looking aside to Ramina. "A-are you alright Rami? I thought you were drowning!" He coughed, his throat being dry from all the salt.
