"You coming, Serenade?" Aza looked behind her at the shy girl.

Serenade sighed and nodded.
“I probably don’t have much of a choice.” She flapped her feathered wings, and flys up to hover beside the dragon.

Stella watched the winged girl as she got on, “We’re all on.”

"Okay, Deza!' The dragon flapped twice and shot into the sky. Aza's black hair streamed out behind her, and her eyes lit up with the eerie light again.

Stella gave a light groan as Aza's hair hit her in the face. "Watch your hair," She muttered.

After the pelt was removed, Mos inspected the pelt. "A rare one, in good condition. This'll do for sure," she spoke to herself. Once again, she was careful as she set the white pelt on Locket's back. The horns of the creature she had set into a pouch on her waist. While she did not plan to take all of it, she began to remove some of the meat of the creature. Looking over at Locket, she tossed a small piece to him. Locket snapped the meat up in his 'beak' fairly quickly.

Locket looked around, as if scenting something else, but stayed by his Rider and companion.

The humanoid moved a bit, the branch creaking slightly in protest by the movement. His golden eyes could be seen glowing in the darkness of the helmet covering his head. The male's wings unfolded from his back, noticing the creature glancing around, most likely sensing his presence.
Well, he wasn't really hiding it. Simply sitting in a branch nearby, having watched the scene. He tilted his head to the side, still seeming more like a curious child.

Serenade flew alongside the daemon, enjoying the rush of wind, temporarily forgetting that she was next to a demonic creature.

After a while of just walking and walking she finally decides to stop. Letting herself fall to grass she sighs. Looking at her surroundings she slams her hand on the ground. I feel like I'm walking in circles. She then lays down in the grass, looking up at the sky. She then notices something, something flying in the sky. Quickly getting up Ivy stands there staring up.

We must go on. She shook her head at him, No, we need not help from others, we shall be fine alone.
Ancro shook his head in frustration. We cannot survive well on our own, you know this.
She glared at him, You know what happens when we try. You know what they do to us. She ran a hand down her unnaturally light hair, a certain vehemence in her expression. As if she would tear it out if she could.
Ancro's expression softened. Little sister. Fear not. Not all men can be evil. You will see.
She shook her head.
Please, he begged, we will both die if we do not try.
She tossed her head, the hair covering her face. "No." she said quietly.

Stella watched the ground below and saw a girl staring up at them, "Stop the daemon. There's a girl down there." She was too impatient to wait so she jumped and landed on the ground in front of the girl.

Ivy froze, "Uh…."

Stella regained her balance, dusted her clothing off and brushed her hair out of her face, "Hello." She gave a slight bow, and put her hand against her chest, "I am Stella Calico."

Still a bit frozen Ivy slowly gets out, "H-hi. I'm.. uh.. Ivy." Then, very very slowly she starts walking backwards.

Stella looked surprised, "Oh, please don't leave. I'm not here to hurt you," She glance up, "Just thought I'd, y'know drop by?"

Still walking backwards Ivy hesitates. Maybe it'll be okay this time… She then comes to a full stop. After a moment of looking at the ground she glances up at Stella. Still uncertain about staying she slowly says, "So… flying…. do you always just uh, drop in?"

"When I see someone down below, yes." She looked a tad confused, "Though for some reason it always tends to scare people and I'm uncertain why."

Ivy lets out a small breathy laugh, "Well uh, when you just decide to uh, drop in on someone it can be a bit…. odd."

"Hmm…" Stella stared at the ground thinking, "I suppose."

"…I'm sorry if you feel bad. It's just not everyday you see someone land right in front of you in a forest," Ivy says, looking at Stella's feet.
It's also not everyday you wander around in a forest Ivy.
No, not now Iris.

Stella looked back up, straightening herself, "Completely understandable, Miss Ivy."

Ivy pauses, "M-miss? Uh, please don't use miss, just Ivy." She then starts playing with her long black hair.

"Oh?! Pardon my mistake, mi–uhm, Ivy…" Stella stiffened, worried she did something terrible

"Oh, it's fine! Please don't freak out…" Ivy says quickly and as reassuring as possible

"Yes of course, I will not." Stella replied, nodding, "So…" She said not knowing how to make a conversation, "How long have you been here?"
