Emily accepted the mushrooms gratefully. She couldn't remember the last time she had a mushroom. "Thank you. I'm Emily. Um, do you live here or are you just passing through?" She said the first two sentences to Caiwyn, then turned to everyone to say the last.

"Well, I don't really live anywhere but recently I have began following around this person for some reason" He said, gesturing at Sierra. "She lives in a group of several different caves connected by tunnels." after saying this he had a small coughing fit.

Emily turned to the girl. "That's pretty--" She began to say but was interrupted by Caiwyn's coughing. "Are you okay, Caiwyn?" She asked, giving him a worried look.

"Yeah, I'm okay. This happens a lot."

"If you say so..." She said doubtfully. "Just tell me if you need any medicine, okay?" Then turning to the others, she opened her mouth to ask if she could stay with them, but stopped and closed her mouth. They won't want me if I'm not useful... I should go and hunt or something to prove my worth. She opened her mouth again, but this time she said "Are any of you hungry? Do you think you could use some food?"

"No I think we're good. We've eaten a lot." Caiwyn said. Then noticing her expression, said "You can stay with us if you want. Don't worry. If she kept me around, I doubt she won't let you stay."

Caiwyns nose twitched. "Well, I'll see you two later he said, shifting into a deer. "I'm going... hunting. Yeah hunting." He ran off into the forest. As soon as he was out of sight he leaped up into the air and shifted into a falcon. He didn't know why, but he just to be in the forest or in it, so sky. He laughed with joy as he pulled his wings close against his body and dived back down to the forest. He felt free and happy. Caiwyn hadn't felt that way since after... well, he didn't want to think about that. Just when he was about to hit a large oak, he pulled out of his dive and shifted into a squirrel, climed down the oaks trunk, shifted into a deer, and continued to prance about the forest with glee.

(It looks like Willowbark has been inactive for 20 days. I'm not sure if she's coming back or not, but do you want to switch this to a private rp? We can split the characters between us.)

Emily glanced back at Sierra. "I'm going out too. I'll bring back something useful." She told her. Shifting into a bald eagle, she flew out of the cave and began scanning the forest floor from up high. She flew out more and landed near a sunny clearing, shifting back to a human. She had spotted some berry bushes near the clearing and nibbled on the berries. These are good, I should bring some back. She thought. Peeling some bark off a nearby tree, she began weaving a basket.

(I don't think it would be polite to switch it to a private rp seen as it's willowbark's Rp thread, and Hawkeye also has some characters. I've pinged both of them so we'll see what they have to say on the matter. I'm not sure how I feel about playing more than one or two characters, and I like willowbark and Hawkeye's rp styles, so I hope they decide to continue with the rp.)

(Okay. Let's hope they come back.)
