The Wasted

[Veins Of Opal]

Nita watched silently, turning away when she suddenly felt a weight on her back. She looked behind her and found she was now carrying a green-haired passenger on her back. She stared confusedly at Aero as he began to talk. "Duuude, I'm so glad we found you! I thought Dairon was never gonna see a horse chick thing but now you're here and it's awesome!! DUUUUUUDE!" Nita was very perplexed.

Dairon looked up to see his father, and gave a swallow. "Dairon, is that really you?" Oreius asked, amazement and shock in his voice. Diaron gave a nervous nod. Oreius looked to the training younglings, announcing; "The session is over. " then turning, waving Dairon into his home for some private speaking.

[Falls]

Aero watched as the younglings were dismissed. "C'mon, let's go check it out! Maybe we can get close enough to listen!"
Nita frowned. "Eavesdrop? Zat is very disrespectful on so many levels."
Aero laughed. "Girl, story of my life." And then he had taken her by the hand and begun to pull her towards the young centaur and his father. Nita was too stunned by this human's pushiness to resist.

Francesca dropped to her belly as a force under her began to push her upward. She looked down at the leaf and then up at the window, reaching out for the sill when it got close enough.

Thye leaf stopped growing just under the window and tucker looked inside. When he was relieved to find the coast clear he motioned her to go inside first. "Ladies first.." he murmured softly.

[Falls]

Francesca climbed in. "Such a gentleman," she mumbled half-heartedly. She hopped down to the floor and looked around as she took her bow from her shoulder and notched an arrow in it.

Tucker followed her in with a smirk at her comment, as he looked around his grip on the hilt of his sword tightened, he tried to his his nervousness. The soft sound of deep sleepy breathing echoed off the walls.

There was a bit of yelling heard from the cabin, and a few quiet mumbles. Only a few of the words were able to be understood; "Where have you been?!" was shouted by Oreius, who received and inaudible mumble from Dairon. "She's dead..." was a shushed, sympathetic voice from Oreius to his son. After a few moments of silence, the two emerged from the house, Dairon's face expressionless.

[Falls]

Francesca glanced towards Tucker, took a deep breath, and then began to walk down the hall, following the sound. Knowing the Machine's merciless tactics, it had placed the key in the most dangerous place possible. hell. She didn't want to confront a whole dragon.

Nita let out a panicked yelp when Dairon emerged. Aero had pulled her very close to the conversation, and now she'd been caught unwillingly eavesdropping. She dropped to her knees and covered her face, braced for the impact of the deserved punishment. Aero just stared at her, confused. "Uh, what're you doing?" He looked up at Areo and twirled his finger by his ear in the universal gesture for 'she's a nutcase'.

[Veins Of Opal]

Oreius looked down to see the human and Nita, who had obviously been eavesdropping. The centaur snorted, giving both a glare before walking off into the woods. Dairon stayed where he was, his sea blue eyes shining dully and slightly blood-shot.

[Falls]

Nita sat there for a moment, tensed and wracked with anxiety as she waited. When Oreius merely snorted and walked off, she relaxed and stood. After delivering a swift and well-deserved slap to Aero's cheek, she trotted over to Dairon. He seemed upset. Standing beside him, she reached up and placed a somewhat comforting hand on Dairon's shoulder while Aero stumbled about, waiting for his double vision to go away. Geez, that girl could pack a whallop.

[Veins Of Opal]

Dairon flicked his eyes to Nita, and gave a small smile. "Thank you. We just needed to talk and clear the air, I suppose." Dairon said to Nita, chuckling to himself as Aero stumbled about after getting slapped quite hardly by Nita. He blinked his sea-blue eyes, giving a sigh. There were patches of shadows across the field and centaur camp as the sun shifted from behind the clouds and into the open sky, shining warmly.
