Hikari nodded slightly, "That sounds like a good plan." she said as she hurried forward. Another five minutes went by and there was still no sign of her. She sighed and finally started to slow to a fast walk, and then just a regular walk. "...I don't think she went this way." she said finally, "Surely we would have seen some sign of her by now if she had." she said as she looked back to Kyran again.
Celestine was only glaring at the hunters as the one went to help up his friend. So long as they didn't attack again, he had no plan to really hurt them, he was only trying to drive them away from Aamori. He nearly jumped when the geyser erupted from the ground, and cast one quick glance back down to Aamori, looking back just in time to see the body fall back to the ground. His eyes then turned back to the one that was backing away and he relaxed his stance just a little, though he never took his eyes off of him. "...Leave." he growled quietly, "Take him and get out of here." He said as he nodded toward the other hunter that he had downed before. "Come near again and I will kill you." He told them, his voice low and threatening, making sure that he was speaking in a human tongue that they could definitely understand.

Kyran had started to come to a stop just about the time that Hikari had slowed to a walk. He started to turn slightly so that they could start heading back to the house. "Well, lets get back to the house quickly so that we can let Nobu out." He said with a sigh; Slightly annoyed that they had gone the wrong way. He only hoped that nothing had happened to Aamori out here; He'd feel completely to blame since he was supposed to keep an eye on everyone while they were in Radha. He turned completely and started to head back after that, he knew the way back after all so he took the lead this time.
The hunter stumbled back a few feet after hearing the tone from the wind dragon. He knew that he'd be wasted in no time flat since he was by himself so he of course only wanted to get away. When he heard the dragon tell him to take the other guy, he moved over to him slowly and went to roll him onto his back since he'd been laying curled in a ball. As he rolled the guy over he nearly fell back on his butt after seeing his friends insides had poured out and he'd apparently died trying to hold them in. The look on the hunters face was pure disgust as he backed away and then stood up. From then he wasted very little time hightailing it as far away from the two dragons as possible.
Aamori watched for a moment as the other hunter scurried off. She let out a heavy sigh and continued to just lay there on the ground not bothering to move. At this point she wasn't sure why Celestine had even come out here, especially after the argument they had had. She didn't think he'd want to be anywhere near her.

Hikari nodded again and sighed as she turned back around and starting to hurry after Kyran. Really, she wasn't all that lost, since she'd been going in a straight line the entire time, but she let Kyran stay up front, anyway. "Alright." she told him, making sure to stay close to him and keep up with his pace this time.
Celestine cringed when he saw what he'd done to the other one on the ground. From the way that he was laying, he thought that he was probably still alive, and honestly, he hadn't realized that he'd actually made contact with the blade even though he'd half been trying to. After the last one ran away he looked down to his swallow and sighed when he saw the edge stained deep red with blood. Finally he turned around and knelt in front of Aamori. 'How in the world did you manage this?' he thought as he shook his head. Finally he turned his swallow blade around to the clean edge and started to cut the net near the weights, moving around the entire front half and chopping them off before standing again and pulling up the net. "Come on. What in the hell were you thinking coming all the way out here, anyway?"

Kyran looked back over his shoulder slightly to see that Hikari was following after him. "I'm going to run faster... I hope you can keep up." He said with a slight smile. Nearly the second after he said that he had started running faster, regardless of the fact he had no shoes on. At this rate they'd make it back to the house in no time at all which was how he wanted it.
Aamori watched as best she could while Celestine sliced through the net. She didn't move right away once he pulled the net up. She sighed again and then started to push herself up to her knees. She glanced up at him before getting to her feet. "...I was giving you space... And getting as far away as I could..." She said quietly, her voice echoing again. She began dusting herself off before turning away from him and stepping out from the net. "...So... why did you even come out here?"

Hikari blinked when Kyran said that he was going to run faster. "Oh...alright." she said, speeding up after he took off. He was able to stay at least three feet behind him at all times, so keeping up wasn't too much of an issue. The fast that his legs were a lot longer than hers made it a little harder to stay with him, but even still she was pretty quick. She sighed in relief when she saw the house coming into view again. "Finally..." she panted as she slowed down.
Celestine looked at Aamori blankly and sighed. After a moment he just shook his head and started past her, still carrying his bloodied weapon in his hand. "...I went back to the roof and heard Lani screeching about hunters... then I realized that you weren't around anywhere so I came looking for you." he said simply. "...You're welcome." he muttered under his breath. He looked down at the edge of his swallow and shuddered slightly before looking away. He just wanted to get back to the house to clean the blood off of his weapon. "Come on...lets get back." he said with a sigh.

Kyran finally came to a stop as he neared the house. He walked up and placed his hand on the side of the house and huffed lightly. He glanced over at Hikari after he caught his breath. "You alright?" He asked as he started to stand up straight again and move over to the door. He pulled the door open and whistled for Nobu. He kept the door open long enough for Nobu to come barreling out the door. Nobu came to a stop and turned to look at Kyran as the door was being shut. He then sat down on the porch in front of the door and motioned for Nobu to come over to him. He set his hands down on Nobu's head and rubbed behind the canines ears gently. "Nobu.." He paused. "I need you to go find Aamori and make sure nothing has happened to her." He said quietly before letting go of Nobu and sending him off on his way. Nobu turned, wasting no time at all getting started. He took off running, heading behind the house and then he was gone from sight. Kyran sighed softly, while sitting on the porch still and looked at Hikari. "He should be able to find her in no time."
Aamori looked over at him and gave a soft sigh hearing what he had to say. She started to move a little closer to him having seen the way he acted when he at his weapon. Her eyes trailed down to the blade and noticed the blood finally. She gave another sigh and stepped in front of him to keep him from walking and then knelt down facing the blade of his swallow. She took her hands, letting them glow like they had before when she went to clean her face. She let her hands hover on either side of the blade as she slid them down, wiping the blood away. She then removed her hands from the sides and then let the blood and water pour out from her hands. She glanced down and looked at her hands when they stopped glowing noticing she had some blood on them from cleaning the blade and then balled up her hands. She sighed lightly and then stood up and stepped aside. She let her eyes travel around the area seeing the hunter that Celestine had killed and then the other one. Her eyes stopped on the body and she shut her eyes tightly. She hadn't realized until now what she'd done, but considering the shape of the body and the hole in the ground next to it she was able to put everything together. "...I did that..." She mumbled quietly before turning her back and heading back towards Celestine and then continuing on past him without another word.

Hikari was nearly out of breath by the time they got to the front door. She doubled over, putting her hands on her knees and panting, giving Kyran a thumbs up when ha asked if she was alright. She sighed and straightened up when he whistled for Nobu and then watched the canine run around the house after getting his instructions. "I'm sure. He can probably smell her out better than we can." she said with a half smile as she sat down. "Whew... I need to get out more."
Celestine stopped when Aamori got in front of him and watched as she cleaned off his blade. "...Thank you." He said quietly, glancing away again. He watched her as she looked around, his ears twitching slightly at her words. Once she started off again he started after her, noticing the way that she reacted when she saw the scalded corpse on the ground. He walked beside her silently for a moment and then reached over to put his hand on her shoulder. He could imagine that she was no more happy about taking a life than he was. "...You aren't hurt, are you?" he asked softly. He kept his voice soft now, apparently putting their argument on the back burner of his mind for now. That was probably the least important thing that had gone on thus far this morning.

Kyran brought his leg up to rest on his knee while he inspected his bare foot. He had to dust it off a bit, and pull a couple small pebbles from the soles. He sighed softly and looked over at Hikari. "I do hope that she's alright." He said quietly then switched so that he could look at his other foot.
Nobu hurried once he'd gone around the back; Easily picking up on Aamori's scent. After all he had one hell of a nose. He put his legs to good use and ran until he started to see Celestine and Aamori not too far off. He started to slow down now and continued walking closer to them. He probably could have easily turned back and let Kyran know the girl was fine, but rather then do that he'd let them tell Kyran. After all, no sense in letting Kyran know you can speak telepathically; Kyran would find out when he thought it was the right time. Nobu finally got close enough now that he started to turn around and walk next to Celestine, glancing up briefly.
Aamori sighed softly and glanced at Celestine when he touched her shoulder. "...No, I'm fine..." She mumbled as she continued to walk. She looked back down at her hands as she opened slightly and then started to rub them together as soon as she saw the blood again. Unfortunately her ability couldn't always wash away every substance and since she had just barely touched his blade some of the blood transfered over easily enough. She happened to glance up from her hands for a moment when she heard something else coming closer yet again; Though she was relieved to see that it was only Nobu.

Hikari nodded. "Yes, so do I...but she hasn't been gone that long... Surely nothing bad could happen this soon." she said softly as she watched Kyran clean his feet. "Are you alright? Maybe you should have grabbed your shoes first..." she commented before glancing off in the direction that Nobu had gone.
Celestine nodded slightly to her when she said that she was alright, leaving his hand there for a moment before lowering it to his side. He's head snapped forward again when he heard something else coming and he sighed softly when he saw Nobu. He would have rather gotten back to the house first since Nobu had already lectured him on the way that he was, but since he couldn't exactly go telling everyone that he was being uncharacteristically nice, he guessed it didn't matter. He finally swung the strap of his swallow over his shoulder again and then brushed his fingers over the top of Nobu's head before looking back to Aamori again. "...Are you really alright? I know you aren't injured but..." he trailed off, hoping she would know what he meant without him having to go into a lot of detail.

Kyran looked over at Hikari and shook his head lightly. "I didn't exactly have the time to run back into the house to get my boots... We were in a hurry remember?" He finally finished cleaning off his feet and stood back up stretching slightly. "It doesn't take a lot of time for hunters or other beasts to find dragons out here... Most of the time the hunters though, they follow specific routes and they tend to follow them everyday. We just happen to be near a couple of their routes, sadly. So I wouldn't be all that surprised to find out she'd seen hunters or something..." He added lastly before turning to open the door to the house. "I'm going to get my boots and my blades, I'll be back down in a few minutes." He said quietly as he entered the house and headed up the stairs to his room as quietly as he could; Just by the off chance someone was still asleep. Knowing his sister, she was more then likely still sleeping. He sighed lightly as he entered his room and walked over and sat on the bed, then began to put his boots on. Once he'd finished lacing them up he stood up and opened the closet doors reaching for the straps that held Mati and Ajara. He wasted very little time slipping the holister around his waist and buckling it tightly. The straps crossed one another right across his butt; They had specially made holders on either side of his leg that held one blade in each. He then walked over to his dresser and picked up his gloves. He started to slip them on, they came only to his wrist and there was only one finger hole for his thumb on either glove. So the rest of his fingers were free. The undersides of the gloves were padded in just the right spots so that when he used his blades he didn't hurt his hands. He sighed lightly once he finished putting everything on he stepped back over to his closet to shut it and his eyes rested on a couple boxes he had in the closet. He smiled faintly and pulled out one of the boxes then shut the closet behind him and started to head back out into hall and down the stairs with the box still in his hands.
Nobu didn't bother saying a word to Celestine, he was pretty sure that he'd said enough to him previously. Not to mention the last thing he wanted right now was to get snapped at again for something he said. He continued walking at Celestine side and glanced back up at him slightly when he reached over and touched his head.
Aamori was quiet for awhile, alone with her thoughts. She felt terrible for what she did and worse, she didn't mean to do that. She just got angry and then... that happened. The fact that she still had blood on her hands didn't help either, it was like the blood was mocking her by not coming off easily. She timidly glanced back over at Celestine again when he asked her yet again if she was alright. Of course she wanted to say that she wasn't. She was hurt, and upset at herself all at the same time. But she'd never go announcing that to anyone; Especially him. She turned her eyes away and forced a smile. "Yes, I said I was fine." She stated quietly.

Hikari nodded again when Kyran said that he would be back in a few minutes. She thought about running to get her bow, but she doubted that she would really need it. She had plenty of other tactics up her sleeve aside from shooting something. She waited patiently by the door, only getting up to step right inside the door to wait for Kyran. She blinked when she saw the box that he was carrying when he came downstairs and tilted her head slightly. "What is that for?"
Celestine didn't need her to tell him how she felt, he could guess. He sighed softly and shook his head when she finally told him that she was alright. "...Yeah." he said quietly, "I say that a lot..." he said quietly. He could tell when someone was lying about something like that, because he was a pro at pretending he didn't care. He looked down at the ground again as they continued forward. She was probably about as alright as he was. He hadn't really been trying to kill the guys, just hurt them enough that they couldn't attack. Apparently, he hit the one a little harder with the blade than he thought. He shuddered slightly again when he thought about the guy's insides falling out of his stomach. That image was going to be stuck with him for a while.

Kyran walked over to the coffee table and set the box down before looking over at Hikari. "I tend to buy my boots in bulk, especially if I really like them. I figured that maybe they might fit Nanashi." He said quietly before moving over to the chair and sitting down; Of course after removing Mati and Ajara from his sides. He reached over and set them down on the table too for now.
Aamori gave a soft sigh and stared at the ground while they headed back to the house. "...What about you..." She paused. "...Are you alright?" She asked quietly. It may have been a good thing that the image of what they had done to those two humans was going to be stuck in her mind, it was going to keep her from talking to anyone for a little while. Her voice had regained it's echo, and it would take her a short time to be able to change that. She gave another soft sigh and finally got tired of her hands and put them behind her and laced her fingers together; At least that way she couldn't see them.

Hikari smiled slightly and nodded. "That's sweet of you. I'm sure he'll appreciate it." she said as she glanced at the box. She half wondered why he'd gone to get his blades if he was just going to sit down in here. She'd thought they may be going after Nobu. After a moment she looked toward the stairs and sighed, "I am going to go get my bow before I forget." she told him as she started for the stairs. She ascended the stairs quietly and went to the guest room, opening the door slowly since she thought Nero was probably still sleeping. She stepped inside silently and looked over toward the wall where her bow hand ended up, slowly starting over to retrieve it.
Celestine just nodded. "Yeah. Fine." He said shortly. "As fine as you are." He said simply. He sighed and looked up, finally seeing the house off in the distance a ways. He could already guess that Aamori would rather not have anyone know about this. Honestly, he'd rather not go into it either, so he didn't really plan to tell anyone about it unless they pressed him to death.

Kyran looked over at Hikari once she said she was going to get her bow. "Alright." He said simply as he watched her go upstairs. Once she was out of sight he leaned back in the chair and gave a heavy sigh. He had gone up stairs and retrieved his blades and other stuff just so he would be ready to leave. He was positive that Nobu could handle himself should anything happen while looking for Aamori, so he had decided to just stay here and wait. He also thought that sometime after Nobu and Aamori came back they would probably have to leave. As it stood, they'd missed some of their traveling time.
Nero wasn't asleep when Hikari came into the room. In fact he had woken when the doors were slamming earlier and he'd sat up sitting on the edge of the bed. He barely lifted his head when she walked into the room. His dark eyes followed her across the room partially from behind his hair. He didn't say a word to her and waited to see if she'd even noticed that he was awake, by the way she was acting she must have thought he'd be asleep.
Aamori glanced up briefly to see the house coming into view. She bit her lip lightly after thinking the others may ask questions. Of course she didn't want to talk about it, she'd much rather just forget about it. Unfortunately she wasn't going to be able to forget this as much as some other things. She turned her eyes towards Celestine for a moment. "...Could we perhaps... Keep this between us?"

Hikari barely looked over in Nero' direction until she had her bow in hand. She then glanced over to the bed and looked at Nero, half smiling when she saw him awake. "Good morning, Nero." she said softly, "I'm sorry if I bothered you?" she asked though she was already starting to edge back toward the door. "Did you sleep well?" she asked with a pause.
Nanashi looked over to to LaRae again finally and smiled slightly, giving her a slight squeeze since he still had his arm around her. "Come on, lets go downstairs, okay?" He said as he pulled his arm back and stood up, stretching a bit. He glanced back to her and stood waiting for her to get up or whatever she decided to do before starting to the door.
Celestine looked back over to Aamori again when she asked if they could keep it between them. "Yeah." he said shortly as he looked away again. He obviously had no more care to talk about it than she did. He sighed softly and walked in silence the remainder of the way to the house and then paused by the front door. He hesitated for a moment before finally pushing it open, though he stood off to the side as if waiting for Aamori or someone else to go in first. He wasn't even sure he wanted to go in yet.

Nero averted his eyes when she noticed he was awake. "Yes, I slept well enough." He said quietly glancing up towards her briefly. "...And don't worry about it, I was already awake." He added lastly as he stood up from the bed and stretched a little.
LaRae smiled softly and then stood up after he had. She nodded softly. "I suppose we should see who all is up, I was told we'd be leaving today." She said quietly following him over to the door.
Aamori was quiet for the rest of the walk as well and then heaved a heavy sigh as they finally reached the house. She watched as Celestine reached over and opened the door; She merely stared at the open door obviously in no real hurry to get inside. That is until Nobu reached up and bit the bottom edge of her skort and started to pull her inside. Rather then let the canine ruin her skort she gently pushed his head away and started into the house herself. She stopped once she was inside and just stood there for a moment.
Nobu moved away from Aamori when she pushed his head away. Once he was inside her walked over to Kyran and sat down looking at him.
Kyran glanced over at Nobu once he sat down and then leaned forward in the chair then turned to look back towards the door. He was quite relieved to see Aamori standing there. He then reached down and patted Nobu's head. "Are you alright Aamori?" He asked quietly as he looked back over at her.
Aamori lifted her eyes for a moment to look at Kyran and merely gave a soft nod. If at all possible she was going to try not to speak, at least until her voice was back to normal.

Hikari smiled again and nodded. "That's good. I'm glad you finally found somewhere comfortable." She glanced back toward the hallway again as she held her bow over her shoulder. "I think we're going to be leaving soon...as soon as Nobu finds Aamori...she may be back by now." She told him, "Are you ready?"
Nanashi just stepped into the hallway and headed for the stairs, briefly glancing at the half open door to the guest room as he passed it, only seeing Hikari's back. He didn't bother stopping and just went to the stairs, starting down them silently. He stopped when he saw Kyran and Aamori in the living room and then shifted over to the side a bit. He thought Aamori looked a little upset. His eyes wandered to the door and he tilted his head slightly when he saw Celestine step inside. He didn't look too happy, either. I think we missed something...
Celestine just stepped inside after Aamori and closed the door behind them. He sighed softly and leaned against the wall, keeping his eyes low and on the floor. He didn't say a word for now. He was just waiting for someone to tell them to get moving.

Nero patted down the pockets on his pants and then nodded slightly to Hikari. "Yes. I'm prepared." He said simply. His attention had been snagged when she said they'd be leaving as soon as Nobu found Aamori. Aamori was gone? Of course he was oblivious to what had gone on, and he wasn't so sure that he even wanted to know. His curiosity was struck, but he wouldn't inquire about it. He was sure he'd probably hear about some the details if he listened in on some conversations to follow. He started to move closer to the door; Planning to follow after Hikari when she left the room.
Kyran of course didn't believe Aamori when she nodded that she was alright. He'd have expected her to speak up if she alright; After all she did talk a lot. He shrugged lightly and thought not to press it, if she wanted to talk about it she would. He stood up from the chair he was sitting in and reached for his blades and slipped them back into his holster. The only reason he'd previously removed them was because it was difficult to sit comfortably with them still in the holster and he really didn't want to chance cutting himself.
LaRae followed after Nanashi when he left the room. She'd completely ignored anything and everything on their way down the stairs. Though she did notice how Aamori looked and quirked a brow slightly. She moved over towards Aamori and set her hand on her shoulder gently. "...Are you alright? You look like somethings bothering you..." She said quietly nearly in a whisper. Since she'd spent a few years around Aamori she didn't hesitate just walking right up and asking about it. Whereas if she'd just met her on this trip she'd have hung back and just been curious.
Aamori jumped slightly when LaRae put her hand on her shoulder and then glanced over at her hand for a moment before letting her eyes scale up to her friends face. She hesitated saying anything; Since it was LaRae she had wanted to tell her everything and yet she didn't want to at the same time. She gave a heavy sigh and averted her eyes. "I'm fine..." She said quietly nearly in a whisper herself.
Kyran turned back to look down at Nobu for a moment. He smiled softly and knelt down to pet the canine. "...You ready to go too Nobu?" He asked quietly not expecting to hear anything back. He then stood up and looked over at Celestine. "I suppose as soon as Hikari and Nero come down, we can leave." He then glanced over at Nanashi, having nearly forgotten about the box he brought down. He turned back around and picked it up off the coffee table and then held it out towards him. "Oh, Nanashi." He started. "Try these, see if they fit. They're top of the line around here so they should be a lot more comfortable then what you've got on currently." He said with a soft smile.

Hikari smiled and nodded slightly. "Good...then I guess we're probably ready." she said as she turned and started out of the room. She glanced back once to see Nero following her and smiled slightly before going to the stairs and starting down. She sighed in relief when she saw Aamori and smiled. "There you are." she said quietly, though not really too Aamori. She could see that she seemed a bit upset, but she decided not to ask. Celestine didn't look too thrilled either.
Celestine just looked up to Kyran when he said that they could go soon and nodded slightly. "Sure." he said simply and then sighed heavily. He glanced over to the stairs as Hikari and Nero came down and then just pushed himself away from the wall and walked outside to wait on everyone.
Nanashi blinked when Kyran held the box out to him and explained to him what was inside. He looked a little stunned when Kyran made the offering, especially when he said they were top of the line. He just stared at the box for a moment and then looked back to him a little unsurely as if wondering if he was really allowed to take it or if Kyran was just teasing him. After a moment he slowly raised his arms to take a hold of the side of the box. "...Th...thank you." he said quietly. He held the box for a moment and then glanced over to the couch, slipping around everyone to sit down on the edge. He looked down at his worn out old shoes and untied what was left of the strings before slipping them off and opening the new box. He almost looked like he was about to fall over when he saw what was inside. The boots were leather, like his old ones, but they were black instead of brown and looked like they'd go up a little above the ankle. There was also a steel plate at the end to help protect the wearer's toes and keep the top from getting crushed, though you couldn't see that from the outside. He undid the laces and slipped his foot inside, surprised to find that they actually fit pretty well and were just a little bit big on him, though that was understandable considering how much taller Kyran was than him. Either Kyran had small feet for his height or Nanashi's were a little big, but either way, the boot fit. He smiled slightly and put on the other one, lacing them both up tightly so that they wouldn't slip off and then stood up again.

Nero followed after Hikari only until they both were down stairs. Once he was able to he made his way outside right after Celestine. He couldn't help thinking that living room was a little too small of a place for all of them to be at one time. He sighed lightly once he was outside and moved off to the side as he usually did. He'd wait there quietly until everyone else was ready to leave.
Kyran nodded softly when Nanashi had taken the box and said thank you. "It's not much, but those boots should be better on your feet." He said before turning back to look towards the stairs. He sighed lightly and started towards them. "I'll meet the rest of you outside, I'm just going to talk to Minako." He said quietly as he started up the stairs to his little sisters room.
LaRae sighed softly after hearing Aamori's response and then removed her hand from her friends shoulder. "...If you say so..." She said quietly. She could tell that something was bothering her but she wasn't going to pressure Aamori into telling her. She turned around and looked over at Nanashi once he'd put the new boots on and smiled softly. "...That was really nice of Kyran to give those to you." She paused. "You sure did need them..." She added lastly with a soft chuckle.
Aamori lifted her hand and rested it on her shoulder where LaRae had put her hand and absently rubbed it softly. She lowered her eyes back to the ground once LaRae was no longer paying attention to her. Then she looked briefly over to Hikari, continuing to keep her eyes low then started for the door. She exited the house and stepped over to the opposite side of the house then Nero and leaned her side against the house; Pressing her shoulder against the siding. She heaved a heavy sigh and could only hope that they could get going already, maybe then her mind could be taken off of what had happened earlier; Otherwise she was afraid she'd rot her brain thinking about it too much.

Hikari nodded to Kyran. "Alright. Tell her I said goodbye." she said with a slight smile before heading outside after the others. She glanced over to Aamori and walked over to her, leaning against the wall beside her. She looked over to her and smiled slightly. "What's wrong, Aamori?" she asked softly, keeping her voice low. "You look upset."
Celestine was just standing a little ways in front of the house, staring off in the distance in silence. He sighed softly and then looked down at the ground, still just waiting silently for everyone to get out there so they could go. He just wanted to walk, and now...he actually just wanted to get home. Though he was dreading going back in that direction again since that was the direction that Aamori had gone before and he didn't want to risk running into those bodies again.
Nanashi smiled slightly again and nodded when LaRae commented about the boots. "Un-huh." he said as he looked down at them again. "I like them." they went a lot better with his clothes than the old ones had, though they almost stood out since they were the only think on him not that didn't look like they could fall apart any moment. He couldn't argue that he could really use them. They were a lot more comfortable than the others were. He finally started to the door himself and walked out to wait for Kyran.

Aamori started to lift her eyes when Hikari came over to her again. She really started to wish that what she did hadn't bothered her so much, then maybe she wouldn't look like something was bothering her. She really hated that she was drawing so much attention to herself. She sighed again and averted her eyes. "...It's nothing..." She mumbled before pushing herself off of the house and taking a couple steps.
LaRae smiled softly and watched as Nanashi left the house. She turned and followed after him moments later. She pushed the door open and stepped outside and stood there looking up at the sky for a moment. It was nice that the sun was out, now only if there was grass somewhere. That'd make her feel a whole lot better.
Kyran quietly stepped into Minako's room and shut the door behind him. He was inside for almost ten minutes before the door opened again and he started to go back down the stairs. Once he got to the bottom of the stairs he went straight out the front door, stopping long enough to motion Nobu to follow him. Once Nobu passed by him at the door he stepped out and headed towards Celestine. He stopped a couple feet behind him and off to the side. "We can leave now."

Hikari sighed softly and nodded when Aamori walked away from her. "Alright..." she said softly. She knew the girl was lying, you didn't act that way over nothing, but she decided not to ask again.
Celestine looked back over his shoulder to Kyran when he came out and told him that they could leave. He just stood there for a second and then sighed softly and nodded. "Fine." He muttered in dull compliance. He looked back in the direction that he'd been facing for a moment and then turned completely around to face everyone else. He really didn't look like he knew what to say to them, and he seemed really uncomfortable being int he front of the pack, but he shook it off and finally just said what he needed to say as simply as possible. "On foot it is going to take us two or tree days just to get there depending on how fast we move... we've already wasted nearly half a day, so if it's all the same to the rest of you I would rather fly." He glanced to Aamori as if expecting her to argue. "We have to go right past there again... I don't know about you but I would rather be in the air." he sent to her before glancing away.
Nanashi stood there silently while Celestine spoke and then nodded slightly. He didn't mind flying and he definitely didn't want to have to sleep on the rocks again.

Kyran nodded slightly in agreement. Flying would cut down their time and it could make up for the time lost already. He had nothing against flying, he just found sometimes that it was easier to walk then it was to fly. "Flying sounds fine to me." He said as he glanced down to Nobu who was now standing next to him. He gave a soft sigh and reached down to touch the canines head. "...Shame you can't fly Nobu." He said quietly. He'd just have to be carried, which wasn't too big of an issue. Though with Nobu's size and weight he knew his arms were bound to be worn out by the time they stopped for a break.
Aamori shuddered as soon as she heard what Celestine sent to her. The last thing she wanted was to go anywhere near there again. Though she did understand his reasoning for wanting to fly past, perhaps no one would see the bodies then; Which meant no questions. She sighed softly, setting that aside and now focusing more on the fact that they were probably going to be flying. She would ordinarily have fought with every excuse she could come up with just to keep her feet planted firmly on the ground, but considering everything she bit her lip. She'd just have to try and see how far she could get on her wings alone.
Nero didn't have anything to say really, either way he had no gripe. He glanced over in Celestine's direction for a moment before letting his wings out slightly. Of course he'd wait until everyone else had taken off. He preferred following after the others.
LaRae sighed softly when she heard that Celestine wanted to fly. She then shook her head lightly and looked back at her wings for a moment. Go figure, as soon as they get fixed someone wants her to use them for an extended period of time. She knew already that it probably wasn't a good idea to go straining her wings that badly after just one night but what was she going to do, be the only one to argue about it? She gave another sigh and then stretched out her wings a little.

Hikari nodded and stepped away from the wall. She didn't care to fly for a while; she could stand to stretch her wings for a bit. She glanced over to LaRae when she opened her wings and bit her lip lightly, moving over to stand beside her. "Are you sure you're okay to fly yet?" she asked quietly. She didn't want her snapping her bones again. She knew they were healed but she didn't know if the bone was still weak or not. She went ahead and opened her own wings a little, still waiting for everyone else to get going.
Nanashi looked over to LaRae when Hikari started talking to her and then tilted his head slightly. He hadn't really thought about that before. "...I can carry you if you want." he offered quietly. He was pretty sure he could fly for a while with the extra weight. He opened his wings and stretched them a little before relaxing them again.
Celestine sighed softly and glanced at Nobu. As fast as he was he figured he could probably run and keep up with them just fine, but he didn't say anything. "Alright then... let's go." He turned around and opened his feathery wings and then took a few running steps before leaping into the air and taking off, flapping his wings hard a few times to get himself going. He glanced back just as Lani took off from where she'd been perched on the rooftop, apparently waiting for them to decide what they were doing, and his eyes followed her as she flew past him, on toward the direction they were heading. Apparently she was more eager to get home than he was and she was ready to lead the way back for him.
