Aloevan wiped her eyes and hugged Fester's leg. " I'll never leave you, alright?" Aloevan clinged on to his leg before letting go. She turned to Mica and kind of frowned " That . .wasn't very nice" she said, trying to keep calm. " I mean, he just told us something private."

Ellery nodded in agreement. " Oh, excuse me, Fester? I'm sorry for bad timing, but my name is Ellery. Aloevan and Kim found me not too long ago. It's a pleasure to meet you.

"Because I have been before, most people react well, terrified when they find out I'm a cannibal. Not to mention the past day for you two probably sucked cause you felt sick and hungry at the same time. And yes Blake this is true, you were craving human flesh not to long ago." Fester turned to the short girl hugging his leg. "Thanks Aloevan it means a lot to me." He patted her on the head lightly.

"Well, I'm a bit creeped out that you're a cannibal, but you've been part of Night's shadow for a long time(?) so I trust you never bit my skin or anything." Blake said, as he touched all the things in the caravan.

Mica blinks looking at the tiny woman than back to Fester. "Uh....sorry if that came out the wrong way. It was meant to be an a 'it doesn't matter your a zombie by no means will I reject you. Sort of thing.' It's just, I'm I don't mind that your a zombie. You are my friend so what if you eat flesh, so do I. I don't see a reason to reject a comrade simple because he has odd habits." She shrugs. The rose of pain has created a small hedge of thorns that is steadily winding it's way around Mica's brain, though she does her best to fight it off she is no doubt breathing harder and has probably colored a reddish hue. "Sorry, I'm just not up to thinking out my words right now." She lifts a hand to her head body bowing over.

" You uh. Look a bit feverish . . and red." Aloevan said, feeling Mica's forehead. " Fester, does she need any flesh? The grey is wearing off a bit so I don't think she doesnt? She's acting a bit strange though . . ."

Fester walked over to Mica looking concerned. "Hey what happened anyways? Where did you go?" He grabbed her a couple of blankets and put them on her. "I was really worried about you. . . ." He grabbed his bag and pulled out a canteen of water and handed it to her. "Here, its just plain water but this should hel--" before Fester was finished he was on the ground, he had tripped on a certain large stone.

"I think this is yours Mica." He picked up the riverstone and examined it before getting back up and setting it on a shelf within Mica's reach.

Era looked surprised at Lucien's reaction.

'Uh so you didn't hear I take it? Well 2 days ago we where send Kim to catch a creature. Once we got close to somthing I suddenly saw blackness and heard a voice telling me things. After that I woke up but I was back in my tent. When I went to check where Blake and co where they where in a big tent with a new blue fox. I never saw her, but they told me I was there when we met her and that I walked with them back to camp etc.

Then came the egg, thing. Afraid they would leave me behind I sneaked out at night to to get a headstart and infeltrate the camp of the grumpys (nickname) and steal the egg. In the morning I arrived and sneaked inside and stole it.

All of that went perfect. Stealth is one of my strong points after all. But the all of a sudden they knew the egg was gone and they all knew what way to go to find me. Which was weird because I left no tracks. After running some, this weird guy who apearently is called Ghost, appeared and told me how he planted this idea in my head. Sneaking of and stealing the egg. He wanted me too. And he got in my head again, freezing my movements. He was yapping at me to join bla bla. And when I didn't want to he pulled out a weird collar and tried to put it on me. At that moment the others arrived. The collar fell to the ground and soon after so did I. When I woke up again I was back at camp.

I knew I had to tell Kim, not knowing if this weirdo would crawl in my head again or not. Kim not wanting to take any chances put Talon on baby sitting duty and I am not allowed to leave camp. I was really bummed about that. The only plus about all this? That egg I stole? yeah Kim gave it to me and guess what hatched out of it.'

Era grabbed her baby griffin and ruffled it's head.

'Anyway boring story, Can Talon come inside too?'

-caravan-

"ahaha." Mica chuckles weakly as he stumbles. "Thanks Fester....Hey river rock, do you?"

<No>

"You will be Reva then."

<You look kind of bad. Why couldn't you here me I was calling for you.>

"Sorry." She shrugs off the blankets as they are placed on her shoulders. "I-I'm fine this is Fester's moment. I-some guy cracked into my skull, I might stab you all in your sleep." She takes the canteen and sucks the clear liquid greedily. "I am rather hungry how long was I gone?" A small very Mica smile appears on her drained features.

Once again her plea for Talon has fallen on deaf ears. Lucien stands bent over his table head bowed face obscured fingers dug so tightly into the wood that as they collect into fist bits of the table peel with them. He trembles the rapid tiny tremors clearly visible in taught arms and strained back.

Era looked half bored/ half confused. Bored at her own story. Confused at Lucien's reaction.
' Hey old man, You ok in there?' She asked a bit worried about him.

Her griffin got a little scared and hid in Era's arms, face away from Lucien.

-cottage-

"I'm not that old!" He snaps, head snapping up flecks of gold a dance in the dark eyes that glare back at Era. "No! I'm not OKAY someone HACKED into your mind and hurt you and I didn't know anything about it! How dare so freak think he can damage-" He stops himself mid-sentence and topples his table sending lender flower vases, plates and food to the floor... {This was not suppose to happen.} The blond paces viciously back and for and clamped behind his back mutter to himself.
