Fantasy Howl's Flying Castle (Finished! ---Whoo! (*＾▽＾)／)

[Katsuya]

Echo hiccuped when Pond picked her up, now calm and she looked over the Owl bear summons. "PPooonnddd~! Ya so soft~! Feathery soft~!" The fawn twisted around in the summon's wing arms and hugged her, giggling and nuzzling Pond. She's not even sad that they lost as she was enjoying the hug.

Meanwhile Chenglei sighed, lying on top of James as he cupped his own cheek, somewhat pouting. His elbow dug in the snow. "Aahhh~ and the fun is over. -Sighs- Oh well..." Then he looked down at the Pendragon teen and grinned, showing his willingness to do his part of the bet. "Alright, little brother: You won. Other then getting off of you, what else do you want me to do?" Then he reminded James.

"Just know if Prince Kenren calls for my assistance, I have to follow him first then I'll do whatever it is that you ordered me to do." His loyalty to the prince is important to him, so...bet or not, he is going to answer to the Oriental prince first. When the blond stood up, he offered a hand to James, no hard feelings towards him or minding the loss.

"Oh! Professor, can you change my katana back to normal? I need it to fight." He asked Aodh.

​

Pond shoulders shook as she silently giggled and hugged Echo, covering her entirely in feathers. The owl bear jumped up and down happily, mimicking Lydia's triumphant gesture.

James, who had been wrestling on the snow with Chenglei just a few moments ago, was so relieved and glad they won that he gripped the swordsman's hand, let him help him up and whooped raising a fist to the sky at Lydia's direction; Frey reared magnificently and cantered around proudly with his nose in the air.

"Help me rebuild Pond's castle." James told Chenglei, and went over to Lydia, grinning, and cast "Clettidy" on her to dry her clothes, her skin was still frozen, though. He did that to everyone who was wet and soon everyone was back at camp, huddling around the campfire with hot food or a warm drink and reminiscing about the fight, or helping Pond rebuild her snow castle.

Johnny's sisters were looking at him and everyone else differently. At first they were treated as guests, now they were gazed at as though they were famous.

Johnny on the other hand was looking at a bottle of Butterbeer James was waving in front of him, with his lips pursed.

"Your shoe please, Johnny." said James airily, removing his boots and taking off one of his soggy socks. Johnny wordlessly gave him his shoe. James sniffed it. "Mmm, smells nice, mate." he grinned.

"You, barmy bugger." Johnny grimaced good-humoredly. This is what best friends are for. James slipped his sock over the bottle and poured it all into Johnny's boot and gave it to him.

Johnny made a disgusted face and hesitated, gazing down at the muddy butterbeer frothing in his smelly boot.

"It's not going taste any better the longer you wait, mate." laughed James.

"Cheers!" winced Johnny, then chugged it all. "Gulp --- bleargh!" he gasped. "Urgh!" he immediately downed some cocoa while his best friend rolled on the snow, laughing.

Lydia quickly lowered her hand, not out of the need to do so, more out of reflex as she sneezed squeakily into her kerchief, her eyes a bit bleary. She was grateful for James' help in drying her clothes, but the damage was already done. When they got back to the camp, she burrowed beneath the furs that they had brought with them for camping and stayed there, looking like a big furry bump.

She did, however, peek out as James made good of his bet with Johnny, though she shivered and gagged before covering up the hole she had made to see out. She was hoping that she wasn't sick after all of the craziness and curled up, laughing to herself at the craziness of the last couple of days. It sounded to crazy to be real, but she hadn't exactly read about anything like the adventure she had been on in any of the books she read while back in her hometown.

Chenglei nodded and walked over to Pond, his flowery aura surrounding him as he told the large summons about his aid to rebuild her castle. Fair is fair. Besides, he did tell Pond that he would help her anyways. He decided to take a break when it was half way done, sipping on the hot cocoa like he would drink tea: One hand under the cup while the other holds onto the sides.

After helping with the rebuild and gathering around the fire, Echo ate the food happily, feeling the tipsy-ness go away with each bite. She can still feel her headache though.

'That's not good...' She thought, wincing from the light pounding. The fawn didn't gagged when her boyfriend drank the shoe drink. However she did cringe when she realized that James put his sock in there too...and it's wet..

"That's...just...unsanitary." Echo muttered, her ears folded back as she scrunched up her nose in disgust. Her poor marshmallow...

She decided to sit next to him, though not close enough to be touching and said: "Johnny, you looked handsomely dashing when you and Butters tried to run back into the fort. Same to you, Butters." Echo added to the large Ram, smiling warmly at the pair.

"Hello, cocoon Lydia." chuckled James, wiping the tear from his eye from laughing at Johnny's face. He sat beside her and rubbed the bump where he thought her shoulder was. "Want something hot in your belly?" he gestured at the pot of meat stew bubbling over the fireplace, grinning. He was in a really good mood. They had cocoa, the last bottles of butterbeer, tea, and plain hot water.

"Baa." bleated Butters proudly and looked at Frey who was using his rump to help Pond shape a snow arc, as though showing off that he got praised; Frey snorted and lifted his nose in the air smugly as though saying that was nothing because they won.

"Tham yuh, wov." said Johnny to Echo, as he crouched with his back to the group, brushing his teeth vigorously.

Echo giggled quietly, her fingers covering her amused smile despite her hand at comforting him and Butters for the loss.

"You're welcome, Love." She couldn't keep keep her amusement from leaking through her voice. Her ears twitched as she looked over the sisters and nodded towards them. "So? Did you girls enjoy yourselves? I hope we weren't too crazy during our snowball fight..."

Echo didn't want more weird-out stares from the people in the village; Even more so from Johnny's sisters as they saw first-hand what her and her group of friends can do...

In the meanwhile, back at the warship, Renee hummed a random song as she sketched out different spell circles. Notes with different circles scattered on the low table as they didn't work at all or the circle wouldn't be able to handle the amount of manna she's pouring into it. She has a blanket over her shoulders as she wanted to stay warm while being in Seifer's room, waiting for said person to come back for the night.

​

Running footsteps echoed out in the hallway accompanied by Seifer's voice yelling, "Renee, Renee! Look outside the windows!" before he burst into the room, still in his dirty working clothes.

Their curtains were closed, and as they were pulled aside, they could see a thread of green light shooting up into the sky miles, and miles, and miles away somewhere. "What do you think that is?" he said apprehensively, wondering if it had something to do with the war.

[Katsuya]

"Maybe...a circle wouldn't work. Should stay with Lyrics but I need help with how much manna I put in it..." Renee muttered to herself, frustrated with this whole spell making business. She sighed, raking her hand through her hair, not hearing the running footstep echoing.

However she jumped when she heard Seifer's yell and turned around in time to see him bust in the room. Renee blinked, frowning worryingly as she quickly stood up, dropping her pencil and getting out of the warm blanket to pull the curtains aside. The winged teen gazed out of the window, watching the green light shoot up into the sky before fading and her eyes narrowed curiously.

"...I don't know, we should check it out just in case..." Renee answered quietly, her wings fluttered a bit before tucking themselves tightly against her head. "Are you up for scouting?" She asked Seifer as she looked for her fluffy cloak and switch her shorts with pants, tucking her feet into light fluffy boots. The Pendragon teen is going to tell Serena that she's going out to check something in case it's dangerous.

- Seifer Rathmore -

"No way, it could be dangerous, Renee, and I'm exhausted." said Seifer, slumping his shoulders. He had a bit of dirt on his nose. "Are you checking it out anyway? Kenren could be sending scouts to check it out already."

Katsuya

 

[Katsuya]

Renee paused for a moment, now thinking about what Seifer said.

He has a point: Ken-chan could already be sending scouts if they saw it outside. She just hopes that it's nothing dangerous...then again, it should be fine to take a look. What if Ken-chan didn't see it? What then? It would be better if she left just in case.

With a warm smile, the winged teen walked up to Seifer and cupped his cheek to rub her thumb affectionately and comfortingly. Her wings fluttered. "Yea, I'm still going to check it out. You can stay here and rest, alright Snuggle bunny?" Renee quietly told him as her orange eyes glowed in her curiosity. She really wanted to know what that was.

"I should be fine if I fly there solo..." Her feathers kept her warm enough in her avian form...

" . . . " Seifer wasn't convinced. "Alone? . . . " he clicked his tongue impatiently as he stood there, thinking. He sighed. "I'll go with you. But if it's dangerous, let's come back, Renee."

He quickly went to his drawers to change into something warmer and donned his leather armor, and also packed into his bag their white bed sheet. He didn't want to ride Renee in her owl griffin form as if she was some common mule, and asked her to just carry him in her claws.

Katsuya

 

[Katsuya]

Renee's wings spread open in shock, blinking widely as she watched him change into something warmer...Then she blushed when she realized what she was doing and turned around, now putting on her cloak that she found behind the door. He's coming with her? Even when he's tired and wary if it's dangerous? She bit her bottom lip as she didn't want to giggle in mirth, her cheeks turned red. That's really brave of him...

"Okay..." She agreed, wings fluttering.

When he asked her to carry him instead of riding her, Renee nodded but then she paused and looked at Seifer with a worried frown. "Are you sure? We'll be flying...and you're afraid of heights..." She added quietly, grabbing his hand and squeezing a bit as to reassure him if he does feel scared.

Aodh was happy that he was able to successfully hit the sword while on the move. He was having a mini celebration internally, when he saw Chenglei's face, and was immediately heart broken. But he knew he couldn't stick around too long, as he had left the castle undefended. Utilising his propellor, Aodh slid towards the castle, where he saw Echo standing amidst the rubble of the majority of the castle, appearing a bit tipsy. She then appeared to be heading to destroy the last tower of the castle, but Aodh was too far away to do anything. He was relieved, however, when Pond stopped Echo, picking her up in her giant fluffy arms.

Standing at the base of the last tower, Aodh watched as the enemy base was destroyed by a storm of fire, and Lydia rode away triumphantly with the flag. Aodh smiled inwardly at their victory, but in reality, he would have done the same had they lost. He was happy to have had some fun.

Piling snow, Aodh helped the rebuilding of the fort, as he was a sworn knight of Castle Pond and was honor bound to defend and repair the fort. When Chenglei asked him to revert his sword back to normal, he took a break. Charging up his shrink ray, Aodh blasted the tiny katana, changing it back to its original size. Aodh grabbed a cup of Cocoa, downed it even though it was still hot, then got back to work on the fort. They were very close to finishing the walls, and he couldn't reach that high, so Aodh started to building of Pond's royal subjects. Next to the throne he also built a little chair for himself as knight of Castle Pond. Completing his work, Aodh joins the others around the camp fire.

"True, but you're not going to drop me, Renee." said Seifer a-matter-of-factly, squeezing her hand. "I'm ready, let's go." he stretched out his arms for her talons to hold and braced himself for the flight.

He kept his eyes closed as they rose into the darkening sky, the forges and labor camp below dwindling into the size of ants as they soared across the tundra. Later on he chuckled and talked to Renee good humoredly about that time she whisked him off to the Misty Mountains from the village of Binks. He literally peed in his pants at that time.

"Me and your brother, we were having a contest which was better, knife or bow, and I won." he said. "That's why that dummy of him I was using for training had 'loser' across its forehead. I remember I was so annoyed because you kept grabbing me the previous night when you were still a griffin and I was forced to sleep under your wing like a chick. It was actually very cozy, to tell you the truth."

The green light slowly dwindled away when they got close to a mountainous terrain. And when the two crept up upon the ridge to see where it came from, they saw three men, soldiers by the look of them with an unfamiliar insignia on their cloaks, they were bent over the body of a dwarf where a pool of blood stained the snow beneath him. There were many other dwarven bodies strewn all across the ravine and a few of the same soldiers who were either human or wolves in human form.

A very recent battle had been fought here, likely an ambush, and the soldiers were rummaging the body of the dwarf for something. Renee and Seifer caught a glimpse of something green glint in the light of the setting sun before one of the men pocketed it.

"That's a nifty gadget you've got there, Mr. Murchadha." said Johnny after he brushed his teeth. "Did you build that yourself?"

In the background Johnny's sisters were more polite with Echo and were staring more, saying that they had never seen anything like that. They heard about the whole demigod story from their brother before and asked her if any of that was true. This was followed by a series of questions such as how and where in the world did they learn to do something like that? They had met a few witches and wizards here in the tundra, travelling from one place to another, but their magic was nowhere like what they had seen today.

Renee smiled at him before changing into her owl griffin form and grabbing the other archer. She made sure that Seifer stayed safe while flying in her talons, holding him close to her chest. Her bow hidden away somewhere in her feathers. She didn't seem like she was listening in to wha he was saying, but she was as her eyes looked at him from time to time.

Well that explains Seth's sad demeanor and why Seifer wanted to stay away from her at the time. Though she's glad that he trusts her enough to not be afraid of heights for obvious reasons; One being him losing his mind and peeing in her talons. Renee cooed happily when he mentioned about feeling cozy under her wings, then again she does feel a bit bad for always grabbing him that night, even if it was to keep him warm.

'Hmm...' Her orange owl eyes stayed at the disappearing light and flew a bit quicker, now in the mountain terrain.

The Pendragon teen changed back and hid with Seifer, peeking out of the ridge and gasped silently. What in the-?! Her eyes narrowed as she realized one of them is pocketing something and it has the same green color...

What is that?! She wondered if there was a way to steal it or win that item from them...but Seifer's tired and this could be dangerous, based on what she's seeing right now with the dead bodies around them....

Argh!! She's really curious as to what the is...If only...Renee clenched down her grip on her bow as if she's trying to not attack them right now, trying to keep in mind what Seifer is probably feeling at the moment.

Lydia jumped slightly as James placed his hand on her, those green eyes increasing to a size that rivaled any owl's. The color of her face reddened to the point that if a tomato was placed next to her head, it would be hard to tell the two apart. James had just put his hand on her bottom. He put his hand on her bottom and then he rubbed it. He rubbed her bottom. The sudden stiffness of her body, James could likely feel as she froze up, not really knowing what to do. Her cheeks puffed up as she blew air into them, trying to determine just what to do.

She couldn't scream, that would just be insane, and what would James think? It wasn't his fault in any case, when one was balled up beneath a pile of furs, it was hard to distinguish top from bottom and she seriously doubted that he had intentionally sought to put his hand on her behind. Giggling would be slightly awkward, she wasn't the type to giggle when her bottom was touched, even if it was touched by someone she deeply cared about. They hadn't even kissed and he was touching her bottom. She felt so incredibly embarrassed and knew that he would probably feel just as embarrassed once he realized what he was touching.

"J-J-J-J-James...." the direction of her voice wasn't coming from where one would expect it to if they had truly been touching her shoulder and she didn't come out from beneath the furs, hoping that James would catch on by the sound of her voice as to what he was actually touching that way maybe they both could save some face.

"Hmm?" said James, looking like he couldn't quite catch what Lydia was saying. He also looked a little confused. "You don't want anything to eat?" he said, bending closer. He wondered if she was feeling cold and rubbed her shoulders more.

That's when he caught Lydia's eyes looking at him from the opposite end. James' jaw dropped. Ears so red that steam seemed to be whistling out of them, he withdrew his hand so fast he accidentally elbowed Chenglei's tea. "Sorry, Lydia! --- Whoa, I, Chenglei ---," he looked back at Lydia, palm up. "Sorry, I-I didn't know --- Chenglei, I-I'll pour you more tea."

[Roleplay Skittle]

When James hadn't initially caught onto what she not very directly was trying to make him aware of, she had peeked ever so slightly from beneath the furs, her brow furrowed over wide and nervous looking eyes. She couldn't even think of eating at the moment, so many feelings swirling around inside of her, though it wasn't the same as when Seifer had basically violated her back during the body switch. This didn't upset her nearly as much, it was just really awkward because of all the people around them and the fact that James didn't even realize what he was doing until he saw her peeking at him.

As James basically had a panic attack, Lydia crept back under the blankets, feeling a bit more relaxed she couldn't help but smile to his reaction, her fingers curling up against her mouth as her smile turned into a grin. James was so adorable she could barely even stand it. But she was quite sure that he didn't want to hear that. She had learned from her brothers that boys didn't like being called 'cute,' or 'adorable.' They preferred 'debonair' or 'handsome.' Though right now, James wasn't either of the latter two, no, he was adorable.

She tried to contain her giggling, though recalling the touch of James hand on her posterior, she felt a renewed sense of embarrassment and her fingers extended to cover the rest of her face as she tried to calm herself enough that she could actually come out and have some stew because she didn't want James to think that she was mad when she really wasn't.

'Ohnohnohno, did I make her cry?!' thought James, anxious that Lydia didn't answer. His heart sank. 'She's probably mad.' he didn't know how to react to this silence and just busied himself with pouring Chenglei tea, though he kept looking back to Lydia so much that the cup overflowed without his notice.

Johnny was looking at him weird, and so was Pond, Frey, and Butters. "Are you three alright?" he asked them curiously.

"Um, I just --- Chenglei's tea. I hit it --- yes, we're fine." said James.

"Ah." nodded Johnny and thought it best to ignore what happened and resume his talk with Aodh. James glanced back at the furry lump. He didn't know what to do so he just breathed in, and breathed out, calming himself down.

​

"Hmmm . . . doesn't look like it has anything to do with us." said Seifer.

The three men started to make their way deeper into the ravine. The light snow that had begun this afternoon was falling heavier, and the wind began to pick up. It's possible that there will be a blizzard tonight and the two must decide to confront the men now and then find shelter in the mountains soon, or go back to the warship.

Echo blushed red when Johnny's sisters asked her about the Demigoddess thing and she quickly corrected them, stuttering in her response. "N-n-No! Absolutely not! My dad did not...um...yea, no my mother isn't human either."She decided to explain everything and answer their questions of how they can do that too.

Chenglei, happy to have his katana back to normal and thanked Aodh for it, was about to sip his tea when someone knocked the cup out of his hands and onto the ground, the snow seeping the tea in. The blond soldier blankly stared at the mess before staring at the one who caused it and of course-! It was James. He didn't say anything as at least the oldest Pendragon is giving him another cup however...

'What caused him to do that?' Chenglei looked behind him, hearing Lydia...giggling? He going to guess giggling right now...Oh and look James is overflowing his cup. How lovely. It seems he wasn't the only one either as Frey, Pond, Butters, and his dear friend was staring at him weirdly. Right so, he's going to guess again and say that James is too flustered right now to even realize what he is doing to his tea...

"James, the tea." Chenglei is trying to catch his attention back to the cup.

****

Renee bit her bottom lip. She agreed to Seifer's terms but...there's something about what that group of guys grabbed that made her curious. So she decided to tell him on how she felt about this.

"Sweetie, I...I really want to follow them. I want to know what that glow was..but...I agreed to your terms so..." This is going to be hard to leave it alone as her curiosity gnawed at her brain, trying to win the argument of following them. The Pendragon teen stared intently at the direction the men went to, looking like she would outright go up to them before closing her eyes and sighing dejectedly. Her wings wilted as she absentmindedly held the skarn pendent on the leather necklace underneath her cloak. "Let's head...back..."

Seifer is tired from working and based on how the snow is falling heavier with the wind picking up, it's best to leave to the warship now. It would be bad if they followed the group of men...Even if she really really REALLY wants to follow them, she has to think about the person who was willing to come with her first. Renee didn't want him to be sick after all and she doesn't know if all the items in the magical coin purse can help with staying out here during a blizzard. That's a lot worse then not knowing what's the strange item, no matter how curious she is about it...

No item is worth someone being sick. Renee is trying to convince herself to leave it alone, her grip on her bow tightened as she pouted a bit, opening her eyes to look up at the snow-filled clouds. This will really bug her later on...but she has to think about others first.

"You are quite welcome, Chenglei."

Aodh was roasting a marshmallow when Jonny spoke to him. It was a little hard to understand him, as he was brushing his teeth vigorously, but Aodh got what he was saying. He unholstered the ray gun from his side and handed the device over to Jonny to examine.

"I initially found the blueprints to the ray gun while excavating nearby to Dawnsfield. I did, however, run into difficulties remaking it, as some of the pieces were special stones and such that were too rare and expensive for me to get my hands on. I then went back to searching in the same area as the blueprint to attempt to find some of the rare materials, but to no avail. It was not until some years later that I finally got my hands on what I needed. I was exploring Pokeshire hills, when one day, I return to my tent to find a small box with a note attached. The note read, 'A small gift,' with no name, only 'The Informant'. You can probably guess what was in the box. Ever since, I have had my shrink ray to lighten my load when transporting artifacts, and I've had an informant giving me rumors about this and that."

Aodh took his golden brown marshmallow from the fire, and tossed it to Pond. He stuck another marshmallow on the fire, and poured himself another cup of cocoa. He looked around the fire and thought about how it hadn't been that long, but he had already done quite a bit with the new group of friends he had stumbled upon.

After several moments of distracting herself by working through random math calculations in her mind, Lydia finally emerged from her fur cocoon. Her face was still bright red, though it was hard to say if it was the warmth beneath the furs or her embarrassment that was causing the color. She couldn't look directly at James, her gaze drifting to him briefly at intervals and her brow furrowing as Chenglei mentioned the tea and she saw the splattering brown drops dying the snow below. She cleared her throat softly and fetched herself some of the stew before peeking back at James and catching the only faintly dour expression on his face.

The corner of her mouth quirked slightly in a somewhat sympathetic smile. She could only assume that he was upset about what had happened and didn't really take into consideration that the way he was acting was brought about by her own silence as she tried to recover from the awkward happening. The way he cared about such a little thing warmed her heart and while she didn't need any reminder as to why she felt the way she did about him, his thoughtfulness only bolstered those feelings.

Lydia waited until James was finished making his mess with the tea before she scooted over next to him, lightly nudging his arm with her elbow and speaking softly behind her spoon as she raised it to her lips, "it was an accident," her tone was reassuring, as was the slight smile on her lips that vacated once she took a bite of her stew. It wasn't like James had seen her naked or intentionally rubbed her bottom, she couldn't be mad at him for making an unintentional mistake and she hoped that he understood that.

James paused when he saw the overflowing cupped and pointed at it. "I'll fix that." and drank from it before giving it back to Chenglei distractedly as Lydia had emerged.

'She's not frowning.' he thought, glancing at her as he put the kettle back near the campfire. He gave her a sheepish smile, feeling relieved that she wasn't mad. Usually her brows would furrow or her face would harden be it ever so slightly when she was angry, so she was likely embarrassed.

When she scooted over and spoke, he smiled amiably. "Alright." he said softly back. James hesitated for a moment and then added in a whisper, "You have a cute butt." he chuckled chummily.

"Oh, Dawnsfield! Echo's from Dawnsfield." exclaimed Johnny excitedly, tapping Echo's shoulder. "Aodh found ancient blue prints near your home town."

Pond looked down curiously when something stuck to her feathers and saw that it was a marshmallow. She bowed her wooden masked head at the archeologist penguin in thanks and pulled out her mask to reveal that she was hollow inside and had no mouth or flesh, but she stuck the marshmallow in the inside of her mask and put it back on her. It seemed that the mask just floated by itself.

Johnny examined the shrink ray very interestedly and asked Aodh if he could try it on something.

As night came, thick snow started to fall and a strong wind began to howl. Johnny and his sisters said that a blizzard was coming and immediately began securing the tents more and dousing the fire out properly before heading inside.

"Good, let's go." said Seifer cheerfully, and slowly made his way back to where they had landed earlier looking around him cautiously for any predators.

Renee would see the three men hike along for several more minutes, one of them conjuring a flame to light their way in the growing darkness. Above, the moon had risen high and cast a dim grey light upon the snowy surroundings. The sky was getting cloudy, and the snow was falling heavier and heavier by the minute.

[Roleplay Skittle]

While she had been content to just let it go because it was possible that something like that would happen in the future more intentionally, which that idea alone made her blush, why was she even thinking that?! Of course she nearly choked on the stew as she swallowed the bite she had just taken without chewing, her eyes widening partially from what she just did and partially from what James just said.

She slowly turned her face towards James, her expression etched with pure shock and her eyes starting to water slightly from the pain of swallowing without chewing. She set her stew down beside her as her hand pressed against her chest and she cleared her throat several times before she rose from her seat, leaning down to grab James hand and tugging him to his feet. She wasn't really considering the customs of Johnny's people once again, this time because she wanted answers.

She had the look of a girl that was absolutely mortified. She wanted to find out just how much Seifer had said to James, she couldn't help but come to the conclusion that Seifer had indeed told him something, why else would he have used that precise phrasing? She felt angry and her stomach was turning flips in her body, her hand shaking as it squeezed James'. She'd pull him till they were out of hearing range of the camp before confronting him, "how much did he tell you?!" she squeaked in a slightly raspy voice that matched her expression, her face red and her brow furrowed, her eyes searching James' own.

Chenglei looked at his cup blankly before shrugging his shoulders and just be happy that he even has a cup of tea to drink. Whatever. He already considers the Pendragon siblings as family so sharing a cup is nothing.

Echo perked up when Johnny mentioned her hometown and some ancient blue prints. "Interesting..." She muttered. When it was time to go, the fawn helped douse the fire and went back to the farm.

***

Renee sighed again as she hears Seifer leaving back to where they landed before, watching the trio climbing with a light. She noticed how it's getting darker and thought 'Maybe we can use this to our advantage.' Now she knew she made a decision and Seifer would be annoyed if she just outright tackles the men instead of sticking with the plan...

But for blooming sake, she is too curious!!

"...Where are they going?" The Pendragon teen asked quietly as she leaned in more, trying to keep the trio in sight. "Seifer, I know you're going to be mad at me for this but...now's a good opportunity to follow them..." She really wanted to know why did these guys kill a bunch of dwarven people and take their item. There's even a chance that they might go after the dwarfs who are working with them and fixing the ships-!

"...I mean ....those are dead dwarfs and it would be really bad if these dwarfs are working together with us. We have to check this out."
