Douglas' hair rippled.
He sat down on the ground.

Once they were safely outside the fence of town Zen finally stopped " Sorry, you know I don't like to rush like that most of the time, but...." Mandy Cut him off her face was stern and one Zen knew all to well " No...... don't, just don't let it happen again" Mandy said Grabbing her bow and quiver and walking off in the direction of the organization's camp. Zen Sighed "Come on Mandy.... It wasn't like that .... Look I got the Plans and I also stopped to get a little something for you.... I mean I know you loved the Cat with the orange eyes in town, but I thought this was good too..." His tone was that of a small puppy trying to make up for something he had done wrong. With a sigh Mandy gave in " Okay what is it..." she said turning halfway around. Zen Fumbled in his bag for a moment before pulling out a small whitish gray box, Inside was a small light gold necklace with a fox Pendant that had Bright green eyes. " This Must have belonged to someone who had as much hope as you... it's amazing it still has its color" Zen said handing it to her. Mandy stood amazed ".... Wow Zen.... thank you..." She said softly as she took the box in her hands mesmerized by the pendent.

As Lilac watched from the tree above, she felt warmth go through her. Someone had actually wanted her? Despite her eyes that everyone tried to sell? She didn't care if she was leaving the town. She was following these two people.

Zen gave her a gentle hug " Sorry for the trouble sweetheart.." he said apologetically before the two headed back to the Camp

She followed them, staying close enough to see them but far enough so that they wouldn't know she was there. Eventually she lagged a bit too far behind and got lost. Wandering around, Lilac managed to find their smell. Running towards them, she hissed as she almost ran into a pit. She put a paw on her mouth, and ran up a tree, hoping they didn't hear her. Why was she hiding from them? She didn't know.

Mandy turned around her bow in hand " did you hear that?" she whispered " Zen listened to the crickets for a moment " No... come on we are close, If they are a threat they have the whole Organization to deal with" He said with a chuckle

Lilac didn't know why she hid. What was the point? She jumped down from the tree and meowed, orange eyes glimmering.

Douglas sighed in approval and smiled darkly as he opened a call.

"We have found color."

Mandy smiled ad got down on a Knee " Oh Its You! hello there.... you know I have been waiting for you for a long time" Zen chuckled rolling his eyes " yes kitty you are her chosen one" he said almost sarcastically before Mandy shot him a glare

Lilac purred and butted her head against Mandy's hand.
