Megan glanced down at herself. "I don't think so…." She bent down and picked up Tobias, who still had his eyes closed. "C'mon… Wake up…"
He was quickly set to his feet as he blinked his eyes open. His vision was blurry as well, and it took him several minutes to adjust.
A red haired woman came up, "You must be Megan" she said holding out a hand.
Megan was a bit startled. "Oh… Yes, I am," She said quaintly, shaking her hand. "I'm Megan, and this here is Tobias." She gestured to him.
"Mais–" He began but flushed and slapped his mouth shut.
Oh, here we go again…. This will make things ten times harder for these people. Despite him, she went on, "And you are….?"
"Blazara" She said, smiling warmly. "I'm going to assume something went wrong with the portal Skye?" she said,
Skye groaned, "Lay off sis!" he said, "We were lucky to find a way back at all! I'm sure we can find a way to get them back, it'll just take awhile!"
"Right….." Megan said a bit quietly. Now it's getting someone home all over again….
Tobias still cowered behind Megan, not because he didn't like them, but because he never saw so many magical people at once, and in his current state, he wasn't in a mood for much talking anyways.
A darker haired red head began dragging Alex away from the fray, chasing away several others while he was at it.
"Thanks Arthur" yelled the black and red haired guy, the dark redhead waved in reply, shifting and dragging alex off by the sleeve.
Megan let out a small sigh. There were still quite a few people that she didn't know, but it didn't really bother her all that much. "Well…." She glanced around. "I'm unsure where to go from here…"
Tobias frowned. I don't know if I should at least try to talk to them….
"My suggestion would be to stick around here for now" said Skye getting to his feet.
The golden winged guy came up to Rio and Alzura. Grabbing Rashi's arm he portaled the three of rhem away.
Megan glanced back just as Rio, Rashi and Alzura disappeared. "Is there a certain reason why?"
Tobias scuffed his foot at the ground, avoiding the gaze of Blazara. What am I supposed to say to the lady?…
"Well for one, most of our world is pure wilds, two, most of my family is around here, and they can help take care of you two. Three, we have contact with the best magic and portal experts right here." explained Skye,
"Then add in the fact that the nearest civilization to here is a rough and tumble wolfpack that doesn't like humans." added the dark haired man. "The nearest town is who knows how far away…."
Megan let out a tight breath. "That's wonderful…." She said quietly.
Tobias looked around and up at the sky, trying to ignore getting called out. Please don't….
"One way or another I'm guessing I should do introductions" Said Skye, Ignoring the flash of aura as the golden winged guy came back.
"Probably a good idea big brother" smirked the dark haired guy.
"Starting with him, that's my younger brother Sirus." said Skye, Gesturing to the Silver haired man, "That's Silverado, our resident healer. My younger sister Blaze, And Firiko's twin Luma," He gestured to Blazara, and the golden winged guy in turn.
Megan grinned. "Well it's nice to meet you…." Even though I might forget their names within a few days since there's so many of them…
Tobias perked up. Luma…..? He felt like he heard that name before when Firiko was having issues returning home.
(I honestly can't remember….)
(He was probably mentioned…)
Skye smiled, "There are a lot of us around here…." he said "But we're pretty easy to tell apart…"
Silver nodded, "You'll fit in pretty quick" he said, smiling.
"I'm sure we will," Megan said, bringing Tobias back to her by his shoulders.
He flicked a glance back at her before turning back. I think that if I can't fit in at school, that I definitely won't here…. He frowned.
Luma grinned, "New people are always fun," he said, "And you should probably go lie down before you pass out uncle" He gave Skye a pointed look.
"Well, he has been mentally working a lot, so he should go and get at least some rest…." Megan said sheepishly. Considering that's probably why we're here…
Skye glared at Luma, "I'm fine…"
Luma rolled his eyes, "Whatever…"
Firiko flicked Luma casually, "Well I guess we should get you two settled in…"
The two of them nodded. "That doesn't sound like a bad idea…" Megan said.
Tobias' mind wandered about and he began to stare into space. Now that we're here…. What about what's going on at home? What is Steve going to do once he notices that Megan and I are missing? And what about Megan's work? She can't just… Skip it without calling in, right? And what about bird Firiko? He still needs to be taken care of and fed…. His mind spun around and he began to get confused.
Firiko nodded, "There are extra dens over that way," he said, walking off in that direction.
Megan saw Tobias was getting weary, and she tapped his shoulder heavily. "C'mon…. Don't be rude…."
He got out of his weird trance as Megan followed Firiko. I'm just not sure… How we'll get back… Is it the same as coming here…?
(nyoo…)
(OOF…. Sorry… I had to close the window suddenly cause I was in tech class and the bell went…)
Firiko looked back, "Don't worry about it too much, my family can be pretty overwhelming…"
(:3)
"I can imagine with all these relatives of yours…" Megan paused, continuing to follow. "…Assuming at least a hand full of them are…."
Tobias kept following them in silence, afraid to speak another word.
Firiko watched her for a moment, unsure of what she meant. But he shrugged it off and led the way up a trail outside of the clearing.
