1x1 With AnnaCat17 and Echo!

[AnnaCat17]

Dash was only half listening as he realized he didnt want to be between the two of them. He picked caia up and carried her to a tree before sitting down against it with her. "Think they are going to work this out or start swinging on each other?"

Azuna's gaze flickered to dash and caia, becoming annoyed by how unphased they were by the situation. "Im not entirely sure it would be smart for my people to be allied with a trive whose leader is power hungry and irration. Caia! Would you please get away from him! He is the enemy too!"

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

Mikah snapped his head back, surprised and hurt. "Azuna! I'm trying to do something good for the both of us."

Caia shot a glare at Azuna, and kissed Dash on the lips to show Azuna that she couldn't care less about that.

[AnnaCat17]

Azuna rolled ger eyes at caia before returning to glare at mikah. "How? Its not like we would gain anything from your alliance. Your commander clearly doesnt care for your tribe so it wouldnt gain us an alliance with the other tribes. Your army has been greatly weakened to the point i think we could take you in a fight. You dont even register as a threat currently."

Dash's eyes widdened in shock and immediately he realized he had no idea what to do with his hands. He became so fixation on the realization that his hands were still tightly gripping the grass that he barely registered that he wasnt kissing her back.

Caia pulled away quickly. "Sorry about that," she whispered, and she made a move to get up, blushing.

Mikah's eyes flicked to the ground. He didn't know how to convince her. He just needed to protect his people, but she was right. An alliance wouldn't benefit her people. "I'm sorry, Azuna. I didn't mean what I said back them. Please tell me how to fix this." He looked up at her, wishing he could make this right.

[AnnaCat17]

Dash swallowed as he struggled to figure out what all was going on. "So um... Ya... Thst was..." He cleared his throat and tried to stop blushing as he decided to focus on mikah. "You know, i could probably get you in. If they really do think im dead they wont be angry if i show up and if you are with me they will have to talk to you. It will show them you are peaceful."

Azuna snapped her head over to dash, looking like she wanted to kill him. "Stay out if this Dash!"

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

"Azuna, enough!" Mikah looked at Dash, thinking over what he said. "Well, no one else is helping so I think I will try that." He shot a look at Azuna. "Should I come back with you this morning?" he asked Dash.

Caia wrapped her arms back around Dash. "I don't think they'll let you leave afterwards," she said quietly to Dash. "I only came to find my brother. They won't let me leave. I had to sneak out."

[AnnaCat17]

Dash looked at Caia confused. "Why would you want to leave." He shook his head and tried to focus. "It doesn't matter. Once the alliance is made we should be able to travel freely between eachother. We should probably head back all together so we dont come across as untrustworthy."

[EchoOfShatteredIce]

"I hope so," she said about being able to travel freely. She nodded, agreeing to it. She kept her arms around Dash, holding him against her. She had really missed him. She rested her head on his shoulder, watching the others.

Mikah nodded. "Alright. Let's do that in...." In the morning. But he'd have to travel back to camp to rest, then back here to meet them. And what would the others do? They had snuck out to meet him. But they couldn't rest here, could they? It wasn't particularly safe.

[AnnaCat17]

Monroe laid back in the grass, obviously preparing to rest there until morning and seeming to not be bothered by caia ontop of him. "I take it they dont supply hugs in Arkadia." He muttered in her ear with a smirk on his face.

Azuna huffed but sat against a tree away from the others. She wasnt happy but despite everything she would go with the plan if it meant the others were safe. She watched the waterfall in silence, trying to block out caia and dash who were only making her temper worse.

Mikah sighed, sitting down. He took watch, planning on staying up the majority of the night. He wouldn't be able to sleep well anyways. He looked over at Azuna, his gaze sad. He remembered when the other Sky People fell from the sky. His friends had been upset. He remembered spending the whole night with Azuna to comfort her. He wished they were friends again. He missed her.

Caia snuggled against him, resting her head on his chest. Caia laughed. "No." She sighed, her arms tightening around him. "I missed you a lot," she admitted, speaking softly. "I felt trapped there. I want to go back with you afterwards."
