October looked back at the forset she saw the pixies last. She wanted to go after them and bring them back here, but she knew she would get lost. She bit her bottom lip and looked at Lin and back at the forest. I should go and find them. She flew off into the forset to find the pixies.

Ari glanced at Nassii and smiled nearly falling off her branch. "It was strange. But it is an adventure." Cute and observant. could be a dangerous combination Ari thought smiling. "I never stay in one place for very long anymore and I guess now was as good a time as any to pack up and head to a new place. Do you plan on staying here for a while?" Ari went to go and sit back up but her bow was caught on another branch. "Oh bother." She muttered as she tried to reach one hand up to unsnag it and not fall to the ground all at the same time.

Kasumi didn't drag Kaito far, but with the trail of tears she left in her wake, you'd think some great tragedy had occurred.

"Imooto, " he called out to her. "What is the matter?"

"Don't you think I hurt her feelings when I laughed at her... when she fell?" Kasumi asked, sniffling. "That was a very bad thing to do. I'm sure she wouldn't want to be our friend now."

Kaito managed to pull Kasumi off to the side and gave her a shoulder to cry on. He knew she was overreacting but this was a problem of hers: acting without thinking and then punishing herself for it later. It was getting better as she got older, but still she managed the occasional slip up.

"What's that?" she suddenly asked, pointed off through the trees. Kaito peeked and saw that it was only a random blossom, thank goodness her attention span meant that she got over thing quickly.

"I'm going to go back to other girl and see how she is doing." He said, gathering his sister's attention and locking eyes with her. She pouted a little and nodded severely, as if it were a grand mission he was undertaking.

Shaking his head at his twin's silliness, he took off downward, looking for the autumn-colored pixie.

Keith Actually become more and more uneasy as Andre's temper began to rise. Keith was very sensitive to the emotions held by those around him considering it was what he fed off. And with Andre's angry and stress levels beginning to rise, so did Keith's. It was a good thing Bard was there to calm Andre down, for everyone's sake.

It was not long before the rested the entrance of the cave themselves. A fowl stench came from deep within the cave. Keith growled, looking around. "In here..." His voice had changed considerably since his transformation. It was much colder, a growl finishing off each work. It seemed to be barely more then a whisper, but it echoed deep within ones soul, making it squirm. He took one step inside the cave, waiting to see if something happened. When nothing did, he continued on. If attacked, Keith was much like a tank; he could take a lot of the damage to distract them from Andre and Bard.

Tzipporah continued to chase the illusion of Andre, giggling and laughing. Until there was no light left in the cave. She froze. The darkness make her shake. She hated the dark, and always carried a torch of sorts along with her. This time however, "Andre" had run too far ahead and she was standing alone in the dark. "Andre... Come back! I am scared!" She called to him, but when she heard no answer, she turned around. "I am going to head for some light, come back to the front of the cave!" She quickly moved back towards the entrance of the cave. She felt unease for the first time. Something wasn't right.

Something stirred deep in the darkness, and a low rumble came from deep within. She felt something wrap around her ankle, and pulling her in. A loud scream was all she gave off before being dragged away into the darkness.

October flew back to the small flower clearing where she found the other two pixies. She sat on the bud where the guy pixie. Siting and the bud she begain to think how supitd and idotic it she looked. "Ugh i knews i should have used my wings today. Why do I alwasy do something stupid like this." She mumbled to herself as she thought of wich direction to go and find them.

Kaito came down to the ground in a slow spiral. He smiled when he saw that the pixie girl wasn't still on the ground. He lit gently upon the flower Kasumi had been sleeping in and slowly walked toward her. "I am sorry.. my sister is kind of crazy." he conked his hand gently with a fist.

"She thought you'd be mad at us because she laughed when you fell but she made us look even more rude when she just ran off like that, I think..." He put his hands behind his back and looked down at the flower, slowly tapping one of the petals with a foot.

October snaped her head up and looked at the guy pixie. She smiled at him as he explained. "Oh, no I never even heard her laugh at me." She said laughing slightly and scratching her the back of her head and raising one hand.

Seeing the elf girl appear somewhat clumsy was amusing to Afanassii. He raised his eyebrows and smiled but managed to hold back his laughter.

"I'll be here as long as I'm needed or welcomed." he said, reaching forward to help untangle her bow for her. "Or I get bored.... Though generally my welcome runs out before my curiosity does." He laughed merrily, but it was true, many either feared him or were at least put-off by his actions. It was this reaction that led him to be somewhat antisocial, for he used to be quite the social character before he became used to foul treatment.

"I think I just about have it free." he said, though in reality he was taking his time a bit, enjoying seeing her in an awkward moment.

"Oh." Kaito blushed, though the red on his cheeks was not nearly as bright or dark as the color of his eyes. "See, I knew she was being weird for no reason." He grumbled.

He scrunched his nose but then drew a deep breath, extending his hand. "I'm Kaito." he said matter-of-factly. "And the other girl is my sister, Kasumi."

Ari smiled as Nassii reached over to help her untangle her bow. " Hmm...Why would your welcome run out?" Ari asked curiously as she held the branch to keep herself from falling. Wow, he has beautiful eyes. Ari thought as she got a chance to see them up close. "Thank you." Ari said after a moment. "I am not normally this clumsy." She couldn't help but smile at him as she paitently waited for him to finish releasing her bow.

October smiled and shook Kiatos hand. "Like I said, names October." she said with a smile. "Oh and do you and your sister do you two have a home hear? If you dont I know a camp where you can be safe." October pointed to a path behind her.

"I can't imagine you would be." he smiled warmly, locking eyes with her. He finished freeing her bow and leaned back. "There, then..." He nodded, looking it over. "It doesn't appear any worse for wear, though you may know better by inspecting it yourself."

"As for me," he stretched and looked down the tree at her still sleeping companion. "The sun doesn't like me much and I tend to stick to shadows. I am very much like the spiders..." he pointed at one that happened to be crawling nearby. "Misunderstood, yes, but we can be useful."

"Thanks!" Kaito grinned, sheepishly. "Actually, we just came-to here. I don't know what might have happened to bring us here. It doesn't look too scary at the moment, but you can never be too safe, right?"

After a few moments of awkward silence he went on, "October suits you...." and he blushed again.

"Um.... er... maybe I should go check on Kasumi...?" he looked up to where he had left her. "And then maybe you could show us both your camp... if you don't mind that is?"

October smiled and nodded. "Kaito is a intresting name too." She said as she hoped in the air. "Okays where is your sister? I will go with you. Then I will show you the camp im in." She smiled at him and extened her hand to him.

Ari nearly stopped breathing when he locked eyes with her but managed a smile instead. "Thank you." Ari carefully inspected her bow and nodded placing it back once she was sure it was fine. "The bow will be fine." Ari smiled as she watched him lean back. "The sun is a good thing, but I have to admit I prefer the darkness as well." Ari watched as the spider crawled by and smiled at it. "Spiders are quite wonderful creature tho. Even if they are misunderstood." Ari swung her feet a little and smiled at Nassii. "Are you often misunderstood?"

Glancing down to see that Del was still sleeping Ari repositioned herself on the branch facing Nassii.

He held back for just a moment but then smiled sheepishly and took her hand, gently leading her up into the trees. When at last they reached his sister, he took a deep breath and called out to her. "Kasu?"

She had been sitting with her elbows resting on her knees, looking quite the sad picture. When Kaito arrived, she hardly bothered to respond until she noticed he wasn't alone. "Yes?" she looked up.

"This is October... and she isn't mad at you. It's OK." he laughed. "She even might have somwhere for us to go for the moment.

"I would say so, yes." he nodded. "though I try to make myself as understood as I can." He laughed at his words and looked away for a moment.

"Do you believe your fae friend is doing all right?" he raised his eyebrows. "I admit, I fell asleep as well. I'm not sure how much time has passed since she went off..."

"Kasumi," October said as she floted near Kaito. "Please why dont you come back to the camp im at. Everyone there is nice and likes new people. Well besied the human, but she not important." October put a smiled on face. "Please? Im worried that there is something out hear that could get us."

"Get us...?" Kasu repeated, coming up into the air slowly. "What is it?"

"It doesn't really matter, I think." Kaito responded. "I want to be with more people. Maybe they know why we woke up here and not back where we were?"

Kasumi nodded at her brother and slowly came to October's side. She bowed quickly. "I am sorry for laughing at you falling. I know that's not nice...."

Ari smiled at him slightly. "I don't really think you are that hard to understand if that helps at all." Ari glanced around the woods listening again for any sounds of distress.
"I am pretty sure that if she needed help she would have called out of headed back to us." Ari bit her lip a little as she glanced around. "The problem is that I have no idea where she went. I can't see through cloaking spells and she is very good at it." Ari glanced around again and sighed before looking back at Nassii. "The most I can do is keep an ear out now and trust in her abilities." Ari pointed down to Del as she smiled at Nassii. "Del has known Whispers longer than I have and I am sure if he thought she was in danger he wouldn't be asleep so I am sure everything is fine." Smiling Ari tucked her hair behind her ear as a breeze shifted through the branches.
"So what do you do in your travels?" Ari asked now with a smile.

Nassii relaxed at her assurance that the fae girl must be all right. He leaned back against a sturdy branch and considered her question.

"I try to learn what I can." He responded at last. "I like figuring out how things work and maybe even meeting new people... if they're all right with my company, that is. If not..." he shrugged. "How about yourself, then?"

Ari poundered his question as she watched him relax against a branch. "Learning new things is something I always try to do as well." Ari finally said smiling. Big trouble for me at this rate, smart and handsome. Ari thought with a grin. "I normally live in secluded areas. I love staying in the woods and quite honestly hate the city." Ari tried to relax more in the tree but nearly fell off her branch when she leaned back. "Hmmm...It has been a while since I have sat in a tree like this." Ari said laughing at herself. Great Job at looking like a fool Ari. She said to herself. "I used to live in a city, a large one, called Lystina. But it was full of pretentious people who thought of nothing but wealth or fame. So I left as soon as I was able and made a life for myself in the woods. I move every few years for new places to see and people to meet." Ari glanced up to see if she could see the moon through the leaves, not surprised however that she was unable to.

"Where did you grow up?" Ari asked Nassii with a smile. "Do you have any family?"

October smiled at Kasumi. "Its okay, I didnt notice." She said as she placed a hand an the pixies shoulder. "Now come on, lets get going." October turned and lead the twins out of the forest and to the camp.

"Oh! ha-ha..." he laughed awkwardly at the question about his family. "I have a rather... large... odd family. I don't see them often - which is good."

He looked away for a moment. "I don't mind cities but ... more people means more possible troubles. So I must take extra care, then." Looking back at her, he went on. "Wealth and fame... these don't interest you at all?"

Ari managed a smile. "I know how that is. My family is odd as well. And I don't see them at all." Laughing a little Ari shifted againt trying to get comfortable in the tree. "Why do cities mean possible trouble for you?" Ari asked curiously looking at him upside down for the moment as she tried laying across two branches which didn't work well. Changing position again Ari finally sighed and stood on the branch for a moment and looked up at the canopy for a moment. "Wealth and Fame aren't important to me. I find that people tend to get greedy when they start to aquire either. Then they start to assume that they can do whatever they like and to whom ever they want to." Ari continued looking up for a moment before sitting on the branch again. "Are they something that interest you Nassii?"
