The communications gap seemed to just get wider and wider, which made it impossible for Siohen to relate any of her feelings in any manner besides the anguished sobbing which she was currently undergoing. Attempting to suppress this action and failing, she sat down on the ground and wiped at her eyes despite their continually getting wetter every time she did so. The mouse wasn't paying a lot of attention to her company, more focused on how pained the inability to talk to them was.

*Dantin didn't know why Siohen was crying but he knew that she didn't need to be sitting in the middle of the training field while doing so. He knelt beside her and started to help her up.* "Come on, lets get you inside and calmed down so that we can figure this out without the crying and everything, ok?" *He said in the kindliest tone he could muster, which was actually very kind sounding, almost hearfelt even. Kade was still kinda just standing there, not sure of what to do, still holding the parchment, ink and quill...*

Struggling half-heartedly for a few seconds, Siohen eventually gave in and let herself be brought up to something like a stand by Dantin. She didn't cease her emotional outburst in the slightest, though; it wasn't that contained stress was pouring out, but new stress was being manifested and expressed by the second. Apparently, she wouldn't get to spar that day, which was regrettable considering its potential stress relief and the disappointment that arose from not being able to do it.

*Dantin put a kind arm around Siohen's shoulders and started to lead her over to the barracks. He had no idea that the reason she was crying now was because of the actions that he himself were doing. Kade followed a few paces behind the pair and was getting further and further behind, feeling much the outcast and looking it even more. He was just as confused as Dantin but Dantin hadn't been the one that Siohen had gotten angry at, that had been Kade. He still didn't understand why and, at this rate, never would.*

It all boiled down to communication and, in this instance, the total lack thereof where it was so desperately needed. Siohen whimpered softly as she was escorted to the barracks doors and brought inside, her slender body trembling with overwhelming emotion. At this point, the mouse had resigned herself to silent acceptance of what was going on, having given up hope of reestablishing some sort of conversation. It didn't do much to help her self-worth.

*After having led Siohen to one of the chairs and sat her down, Dantin said.* "Now, isn't this better than sitting ouside in the dirt? Do you want to talk about what's going on?" *Dantin asked, not realizing that that was most likely one of the worst things he could say at the moment, bringing up the topic of talking again. He also seemed to not notice Kade's absence...*
*Kade had gradually gotten slower and slower untill he just came to a complete stop. He didn't want to follow them into the barracks, he didn't know what he wanted. He was just confused and, now, alone. What made it worse was that Siohen's current condition had been caused by none other than himself. He still wasn't sure about that one either. Currently, he was just kinda standing there, a few yards from the entrance to the barracks, looking awkward and sad and dejected and hurt and confused... etc. etc.*

Looking at him with a rather shocked face, Siohen just stared at Dantin and tried to figure out what that was supposed to mean. Regardless of whether she wanted to talk or not, she just couldn't, because her stutter was so bad right then. She could shake her head and lie to him, making things maybe a little easier on her, or be honest and nod; however, this would result in a whole mess of questions that she didn't want to deal with. The end result was her doing neither and just sitting there, trying to figure out what he was trying to say.

*Upon seeing Siohen's reaction, Dantin immidiatly went red in the face and covered his eyes, shaking his head. He had already forgotten about that little problem. Now he would have been happy to have some parchment, ink and a quill but then that might cause even more problems based on her last reaction to being brought them. He didn't know what to do.* "Um... uh..." *He said, a little confused on how to continue. Well, really confused on how to continue. It seemed that he didn't notice untill just then that Kade wasn't there. Looking around the room, he muttered to himself, "Where'd Kade go?..." *He mainly did that so as to try and take certain thought processes off of what he'd said earlier.*

Looking to the door in confusion, Siohen repeated the question mentally. Kade had faded from center stage ever since Dantin started bringing her over to the barracks, and now he was gone from sight. It was as if he had just dissolved from the scene, or something equally gruesome. This didn't help her feelings of dejection and awkwardness. She looked back to Dantin and offered a confused look to demonstrate that she had no idea.

*-That's fairly strange...- Dantin thought to himself as he glanced around again. With a sigh, he walked over to the entrance to see if Kade was somewhere outside still. He was quite surprised to find Kade just a few yards from the door, just... standing there. With another sigh, more out of frustration than anything else, Dantin called out to him.* "Kade! What are you doing?"
*Kade didn't respond, verbally or otherwise. With yet another sigh of frustration, Dantin strode over to Kade and gave him a shake.* "Kade! Are you listening to me?" *Kade finally seemed to snap out of it. He looked at Dantin confusedly.* "What?" *Was all he said. Dantin rolled his eyes.* "Whadya mean, what? Why were you just standing here?" *Kade halfway shrugged and, with an embarressed face, looked down at the ground, as if he was trying to find inspiration in the dirt so as to be able to give Dantin an answer.

Siohen sighed as she watched Dantin leave. Whatever they were doing out there, it didn't even concern her. Kade was probably off doing something else now and now the most important part of communication was gone– someone to actually communicate to. Waiting for one of the mice to return, she did her best to calm down enough to regain some semblance of composure. As it stood, Siohen was a mess, in her own eyes at any rate.

*Dantin started to feel sorry for Kade, though he still didn't know why everybeast seemed to be losing their head today. He gave Kade another shake, this one much more controlled and in more of a comforting way than anything else.* "Look, sorry I yelled... c'mon back inside and stop looking so sad!" *He said in a good natured way. Kade looked up and smiled slightly and they both walked to and entered the barracks. Dantin immidiatly walked back over to Siohen and, after a moments hesitation, Kade followed. He just kinda stood there, looking awkward as he had used to in the past when he hadn't had any social skills. It was kinda funny that he was still clutching the parchment, ink and quill though Siohen obviously didn't want them.* "Sorry about that," *Dantin said to Siohen,* "Kade was just daydreaming or something, I dunno..."

Daydreaming didn't fit into what Siohen thought Kade would do. Surprised by this description of his actions, Siohen looked up at Dantin abruptly with yet another expression of confusion. This was just too weird. Dantin and Kade were this pair that were somehow above and below and all around her on so many levels and it just stopped making sense to her once the psychological complexity of it became apparent. As before, though, she refused to say anything.

*Dantin held up his paws as if he was fending off a physical blow.* "Hey, don't look at me like that!" *He said with a laugh.* "That may not be quite what he was doing, all I know was that he was just standing there staring at the ground. Daydreaming seemed to fit about as well as any other number of things that coulda been going on in his mind." *He then turned to Kade,* "What exactly were you doing?" *Kade just kinda looked down at the floor again and shrugged, causing Dantin to let out a sigh and roll his eyes.*

OOC: I don't care what it tastes like!!
BIC: Oddly enough, the situation came across to Siohen as inexplicably funny. Actually, it was pretty easy to explain, seeing as Kade, who she had thought of as some sort of mysterious benefactor, turned out to be another normal, quirky mouse, after all. She smiled slightly, then found herself giggling a bit, and soon enough was forcing herself to not just burst out laughing. It was so strange to see Kade put in this situation that it was, indeed, amusing.
