Mitch smiled and leaned in a little putting his hand around her neck. "Well, then..." He whispered to her before leaning down to kiss her. He paused an inch away from kissing her before kissing her softly. He pulled away smiling at her. "There... You're beautiful and you better know it." he said hugging her.

A'ine frowned looking down. "Maybe... Bu-" She stopped smiling a little. She could feel Mitch's mind now. He was flooding happy and excited and nervous. "Never mind. She's fine." She said looking up the hill starting to walk up it.

Alderic cleared a spot of dried grass and other things before showing Jora how to stack a few logs and grabbing kidling.

(That's Saffy not Ember XD)
Phinesa shook her head. "I really don't remember any of it... Maybe we could get a bird class to help us out." She said thinking.

Ilandere looped around barely being able to see through the cloud she had split.

Ember hugged Mitch back, smiling. She had never guessed he would actually kiss her. Not that she wasn't happy about it.

Orion smiled. "Good!" he said, glad they didn't have anything to really worry about for the moment. He looked up the hill again for any sign of Jora or Alderic.

(Whoops! *facepalm*)
"Yeah! Maybe llandere could help us out!" Saffy said. "She's not a bird, but she can fly!" Saffy added, trying to think of any one else they could enlist for the cause.

Mitch closed his eyes smiling. He sighed pulling out of the hug. "Come on. We should get going..." He said slipping his hand over her's before turning to walk toward the place A'ine had told him to go.

A'ine grinned as they got to the top of the hill and Alderic and what seemed like a new girl were getting ready to start the fire. "Hey Alderic." She said smiling as she looked over at Jora who look surprised.

Phinesa nodded. "This is the best idea I ever had!" She yelled happily.

(*Pulls out ducttape.* I need more!)

Ember nodded, and headed towards the bluff. She saw some figures moving around on it, but she couldn't tell who or how many.

Orion joined A'ine at the top of the hill. "Hello!" He called, trying to get a better look at the girl, whom he couldn't see well in the dark.

Saffy grinned. "So, shall we find llandere?" she asks happily, glad that Phinesa was happy again. Plus she was excited to join in on the plan.
(Me too!)

Mitch grins as he pulls Ember along a little, walking faster. "Let's go or Alderic will eat all the s'mores." He said smiling back at her happily.

Alderic looked up at Orion grinning. "Hey guys! Where's Ember and Mitch?" He asked obviously worried. A'ine smiled. "They're fine. Actually they're headed here right now." She said not able to keep back a broad grin.

Phinesa nodded. "Yup! Only... I've heard she likes to fly all night." She said frowning a little. As if on cue a shadow pasted over them making her look up at a shining purple dragon.

Ember smiled as she ran a few steps to catch up with Mitch, and slowed back down into a fast walk. "He'd better not," she said, looking up at the bluff again.

Orion put his bag down, and rummaged around in it. "Ah here we go!" he said, pulling out four marshmallow sticks. "I only have four though," he said, holding them up triumphantly. "Want one?" he offered, splaying them out in his hands so the others could take one they wanted.

"Whoa! Do you think we could flag her down?" Saffy asked, tilting her head as she admired the purple dragon flying over head.

Mitch looked over at her smiling. "I'm sure A'ine wouldn't let him..." He said smiling at her as he slowed down to walk up the hill of the bluff.

A'ine smiled at Orion. "What are those for?" She asked curious not understanding the sticks.

Alderic smiled at his friend at he lit the fire without any trouble at all. He looked over at Jora smiling. "Wanna help me with the torches?" He asked looking around at the unlit arrows. She nodded smiling as they stood up together. "This will be good practice for shooting controlled flame." He said to her stopping her a few feet away from the arrows.

Phinesa looked up and shook her head. "Nope, we're too small." She said smiling at Saffy. "We'll ask her tomorrow at breakfast or lunch." She said happily.

Ember handed the rose to Mitch. "Can you hold this for a sec?" she asked, wanting to try something with the crystal and the rose.

"Oh right. So you put a marshmallow on the end, and then you stick in it in or near the fire to roast it!" Orion explained. "We'll show you," he added. (Can Orion reconize Jora yet?)

"Alright," said Saffy, a bit disappointed that she wouldn't see get to meet her roommate that day. She brightened up though. "Why don't we go to the library and look at the maps!" she said excitedly. She loved maps.

Mitch smiled stopping for a moment. "Sure. 'Anything for a lovely lady such as you'." He said, repeating the line he had said in the hall.

A'ine nodded grinning she couldn't take it any more. 'Orion, isn't the girl hanging out with Alderic pretty?' She asked blocking his mind from realizing who it was for now. (A'ine says nope! ^^)

Jora nodded taking in a deep breath as she makes a little flame in her hand. "Good. Now think about it flying at that arrow over there." Alderic said pointing at the closest one.

Phinesa smiled. "Okay! Then we could plot out area's to look tonight or tomorrow!" she said excited.

"Thank you," Ember said, giving him the rose, and fishing around in her pocket again, pulling out the crystal. She gently took the crystal back from Mitch and held the crystal up to the stars again. She reluctantly took her hand away from Mitch's to hold both at the same time. This time, she placed the rose in front of the crystal. The ice caught it and reflected it inside itself, coloring the rose purple. Ember smiled, and looked over at Mitch.

Orion glanced over at the girl and then back at A'ine. Yes, but why are you asking that? He had a nagging feeling that he knew the girl, but he just couldn't place it.

"Let's go!" Saffy yelled, sticking her pointer finger up in the air.
