"Hmm? Oh, it's nothing.. I'm just.. remembering my brother back at home." He smiled weakly. "He can't fly, and I was just noticing that several people in our group can. It's nothing important really, just me thinking about home I suppose."

"Are you sure?" Ash questioned, still thinking something else was off with him.

Lloyd nodded, remembering the day Nathaniel had injured his wings. He held a grudge against hunters as a result. His brother had been flying a few years before, and a duck hunter thought he was a bird. The hunter shot Nathaniel's wing, sending him spinning towards the ground. His wings were crushed beneath him, rendering them incapable of flight permanently. The thing that bothered Lloyd the most was that the hunter had seen Nathaniel, and he had just left him to die there.

"Okay." Ash nodded along, looking down at her feet. Maybe Lloyd would be ready to talk someday, but she figured that he probably didn't quite trust them that much yet. He'll talk when he's ready. she thought.

Mari fluttered in the air, continuing a new Daisy chain.

Ash stood from Lloyd's shoulder and flitted over to Mari to see her daisy chain

Mari waved it around proudly in front of Ash.

Ash gathered some more daisies for Mari so she could finish her daisy chain, but being so tiny, she could only carry two to three at a time.

Lloyd watched the fairies quietly, slightly disconnected to the world for the time being. He drummed his finger of his knees anxiously, wanting to get moving so he could distract himself.

Eventually, the chain was completed. As Tanrial already had a flower crown, Mari dragged it over to Lloyd and made him one too.

"Oh, er, thank you!" Lloyd sat awkwardly as the fairy arranged the flower crown on his head.

She grinned and flipped in the air, before settling down on the grass.

After Mari had finished her flower crown and had placed it on Lloyd's head, Ash retook her place on Lloyd's shoulder, sitting down in her spot.

"Do you guys know when we're leaving?" Lloyd didn't think he could sit here much longer. He was getting antsy, and now he was thinking about what his employers must be thinking to find him not there. Lloyd had never been late to work, so it would cause some problems to say the least.

Mari shrugged and pointed at the sun, suggesting they leave right now.

“What about Maybelle? She said she would come.” Tanrial said sitting upright.

Mari shrugged again, looking in the direction of the village. She made a few gestures, saying that maybe she changed her mind.

Tanrial looked down and sighed, disappointed. Maybe she did change her mind, “I guess you might be correct, Mari.”

"Well, if she did, we really don't have a way of knowing, do we?"

Maybelle was half-way finished with packing her bag before she got cold-feet. What if she never returned? She ran her fingers through her loose hair, still deciding whether she should go on the journey or not. She had already told Tanrial that she would, but the feeling in her stomach told her that it may not have been a wise choice then.
Suck it up, May.
Tossing another blanket and a water canteen in the bag, Maybelle zipped it up and put it over her shoulder. Deciding it would be best to not let her parents know where she was going, she walked out the door and made her way to the clearing in the forest.

Stepping through the trees, Maybelle already saw everyone in their group there. "Hey guys."

(I have to go for a while, feel free to control my character for a bit!)

Mari spun in the air, waving her arms in front of Maybelle's face.

Maybelle giggled at the little fairy flying around her. "What's up, Mari?"

She smiled and brought her another blade of grass.

"So, will we be leaving soon?" Maybelle asked the group as she took the gift from Mari, with a small "thank you."

(sorry, i gtg again, dinner. i'll be back soon!)

"I hope so. I can't help but keep thinking that my employers will come bursting through the trees at any moment, pointing swords at my head."
