"No. I mean, yeah but." Aza frowned.

"That's understandable; catching up on things can be tiring and long process; or sometimes exciting; but in the end, it is needed." Locket seemed to get up and approach the side of Mos.

"What brings you to this forest, if I may ask?"

Also frowning Ivy says, "I'm sorry… I didn't mean to…"

"No, no. I mentioned him; it's my fault." Aza smiled ruefully. "He's not really my brother. I loved him very much, but he got taken by the Griffin Wyverns in my town. I tried to save him, but he didn't want to be saved. The Wyverns had taken control of his mind, so I have to find a way to get his mind back."

"Oh, that's horrible," Ivy said. "Well, first things first, lets get out of this forest." She starts walking, hoping to find a way to get out

"That it can be. Then I spend most of my time simply observing and listening to try and learn what I can."
He watched as the female's mount stood, approaching and coming to rest beside its owner. Seemed the bond between them was extremely strong. Razorik's golden eyes shifted back to Mos.
The male gave a slight shrug, wings shifting with his movements, "I was just passing through. Paused to rest my wings."
Which was only partially true. He still preferred to keep the more grisly details to a minimum. Meaning he had honestly stopped when he caught the scent of a decaying carcass and stopped to take a bite.

"We must thank you." Ancro said quietly, looking gratefully at Stella. "We would have died without your care."

Stella gave a small smile, “It’s the least I can do…” she answered quietly, clenching her fist when she thought of Solstice. “I have to find her…” she muttered under her breath

"Who?"

“H-huh? Oh, my friend…that’s all.”

"We can help." Ancro offered.
We are not going off with her in repayment of a morsel. Chion's eyes flicked at him.
He gazed at her steadily. We go with her and get protection. Not to mention more food. We need this.
She huffed. Must I pretend to approve her?
You know.
Chion crept closer to Stella, her hair still partially concealing her face. She nodded.

She looked at Chion and Ancro, “Are you sure? You don’t have to…I could easily be on my way and leave you some food?”

"We will go with you," Ancro insisted. "Chion gave her consent."

“Alright,”. Stella stood up and glanced at Chion, “So that’s your name, Chion. I like it.”

Chion nodded again. Then carefully, slowly, put out her hand, palm up.

Mos nodded. She ‘looked’ down at Locket; who she could not see anyways due to the cloth over her eyes, then seemed to look back over at Razorik.

“I come to this forest to spend time with Locket and hunt. There are a few places I generally frequent, some very far from here, and others close by. I usually don’t live in one spot for too long.”

Stella was confused about Chion's movement, "Ummm, do…do you want me to do something?"

Chion pulled back her hand quickly and hid behind her hair. "It is a greeting," Ancro said, "Or a symbol of agreement. It is what is done in the land of our birth. He held out his hand in the same manner and Chion placed her hand in his.

“Oh sorry, I didn’t know…” Stella said guiltily.

"It is of no offence," Ancro reassured her. "We have…" Immediately Chion shot him a commanding glance. He fell silent.

“Okay then.” She looked between the two, “Let’s go shall we?”

Ancro nodded and Chion took his hand.

Ivy stops by a tree and looks back. Face going a bit pale she realizes that she lost Aza. Oh shoot… Starting to walk backwards and turning around she bumps into a tree and jumps. Why do these have to be everywhere?! She continues to walk, crossing her arms

Aza appeared in a flash of light. "So which way?"

Ivy jumps and grabs a tree, "Oh my… oh my god… I thought you were…." A tiny bit of her eye turns color but it turns back just as fast as it came. Then taking a breath she points in a random direction, "How about that way?"
