Ainsleigh & Tatsu\

"Thanks Inferno," Tatsu replied, and intending to be affirming added, "You're a good hatchling, wish yer pap was here to see it." He was attempting to be polite and wait for her response. However, Fir's sputtering ale and Lily's after reply made him turn to face them. "Ending up there is only the worst case scenario guys. We aren't certain where they got to. But if they are and they meddle with another time device, we may be better off if the whole original team is there." He couldn't understand the reasoning behind it, but it just made sense that if they were together when they meddled with it the first time, then they should all stay together if another time shift occurred.

Ainsleigh, meanwhile was getting a little antsy,wondering what was taking those ryori queens so long to get down here. She paced to burn off the nervous energy although she would pay for it later. She kept looking about hoping to find out if anyone had an idea where they are and tell them toget down here.


Ashleigh

Ashleigh looked around and didn't recognize anything or any of the normal night time sounds. "Basil, I think we've gone far enough." She suggested nervously.

But he failed to stop and his grip was too firm for her to breech she did the only thing she could think to do. She walk ahead of him pivoted around and wrapped her wings and arms around him. And with their muzzles side to side she looked him in the eye pleading.

"Please stop, I think we're far enough away now to be left alone?" she queried quietly afraid to let go because she might not be able to stop him next time.

Ashleigh

"O-okay." She said, trusting Basil a lot more than she sounded at the moment. Ainsleigh had gotten under his scales somewhat and she had never seen anyone do that to him before. Still he held her claw in his and was leading her into the unknown, but to where and for what purpose? Regardless, he had kissed her cheek, so she trusted that expression more than anything else at the moment.


Tatsu

"As quickly as he could, he equipped and rechecked his armor fittings, and tested his air runes. They flash glowed to his light invocation. There was a lot of gear to carry down, but Inferno had already done more than a fair share for them today. So he looked to Fir and Lily. "Since you are so concerned about us being slain,would you two mind helping me get this extra gear down to staging?" He asked them.

Blue looked back to find Willow And she could sense Tomen near by " Yes this is My daughter, a lot happened the one day we were in here, and now I cam back to see if there was something we may have missed after we defeated Clockwork.." she said sitting down and inviting Willow to sit next to her.

Tomen stayed hovered above the entrance listening...


Damion nodded " is that so?" he said following him " we should catch up with them, if I had to guess my companions have caught up to them by now.." he said a little worried but not enough to cause and suspensions for the little cub.

Tatsu & Ainsleigh

Ainsleigh saw Tatsu coming down with assistance loaded with their equipment. Not pleased to see either of the ryoris. It was frustrating but couldn't be helped. Hopefully they could meet up with themon the hunt. She gratefully accepted gear from her mate, and began carefully equipping herself.

Tatsu carefully passed 'A' her rune bracelets then her armor. He helped to strap her up and placed the relic in its port plate. Then he helped to wrap and strap one set of spare armor on her back as he had. "You're all set." He told her.

She nodded to him as a manner of thanks. Then she looked to Fir and asked, "Think you could use your nose to help out?" She figured he would find it better than sitting around. Meanwhile, Tatsu looked to Lily, "If ye happen to see the ryoris that came back with us,could ya send'em on ahead to meet us?"

"Apollo what are you staring at up there?" Ainsleigh called out, curious to know what he was seeing in the clouds.

Ashleigh was a little taken aback when they arrived. The pond view was breath taking and the crystals gave the fluid a lovely glow. She could understand why he liked this as a quiet place where he could wind down. He was being vulnerable and showing it to her. She didn't know when she sat down with him, it just seemed the thing to do.

"It's beautiful... Thank you for sharing it with me." She said softly as Basil closed his eyes. She liked the view, but when it came to relaxing and unwinding she liked to talk to her friends and share time with them. One of her favorite pass times with Basil was flying and gliding among the air currents and trying new flight tactics, it was a friendly competition, but Basil always managed to just best her nearly every time.

So she sat quietly and studied his features, the curve of his brow and muzzle and the lay of his scales. She could smell his breath as he slowly exhaled. She also felt the warmth of his claws. He hadn't let go her since he led her out of guild hall. It was the most contact she'd had with anyone in a long time and his hold only made her lean close to him so she was closer and all of her senses were attuned to him. His eyes were still closed, and she began to wonder if she should return the peck he gave her? She was so close to him and she started to lean in just a bit more to maybe. She blushed softly at the idea.

Then his eyes opened...

Rose Petal closed her eyes. Her (sometimes) loud friends had quieted down for now, and she hoped to catch a wink of sleep.
