Lydia was walking through the forest slowly enjoying the walk and the forest around her. She watched Auburn dash around leaping through bushes and sticking her nose down holes. As Lydia was walking she saw Auburn excitedly run up to her Dia I think I found the safe houseAuburn said to her mentally How do you knowLydia asked Because there was this group of people and they were all bonders and even if it isn't the safe house they are still bondersAuburn said again excitedly. Ok let's go Lydia replied and she followed Auburn off into the woods until they came to the edge of a clearing Lydia looked out and her amber eyes widened in excitement there really were bonders here. Lydia picked up Auburn and put her in her shoulder so Auburn could perch Let's go introduce ourselves girl She said scratching Auburn behind the ear before walking out into the clearing.

This isn't what she expected nor wanted when she finally found the safehouse. When it was just Nyx, Nova, and those three strangers who'd climbed out of the hole, she was fine. Nervous, but fine. But more people were spotted hiding in the bushes surrounding the clearing, and some sort of interaction was happening between them, Melisandre and one of the other people who'd climbed out of the entrance. It didn't sound good. She was less fine then, and suppressing the anxieties became harder. And what caused her to falter was the girl that walked out of the bushes with a fox of all the bonded animals she could have seen. Alyssa felt her chest hurt with old memories, and her stomach twist. With pale features, Alyssa's grip tightened on Ragnar's fur to the point where he wanted to ask her to lighten it, but stopped himself when he saw her face.

'Feeling overwhelmed with all these people?'
'Yes. Please, let's leave. I don't want to be here anymore.'
Take deep breaths, Alyssa. Like you were taught. I'm here.'

With those three sentences, Alyssa nodded, took a few steps back, and silently sat down on the grass with her bear following suit, gently hugging her. She buried her face in his fur and turned her back on everyone else, needing space to recompose herself. Meanwhile, Ragnar kept an eye on the new faces that had shown themselves. He glanced at Nyx and noted he was near the bushes at the edge of the clearing, and he wondered if the boy was handling these events okay. He looked nervous too. Nova wasn't anywhere to be seen, but Ragnar had no doubt that she was lurking somewhere in the bushes, making sure Nyx was alright.

She turned to look at him and sighed before coming over and helping him off the ground, becoming his support again. She helped him back over to the chair, setting him down gently with another sigh. "It's not you." She said softly, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Someone...someone I was really close to used to call me that just before he disappeared..." She shook her head, holding back the tears. It's a sensitive subject." She crouched putting her hands on his knees. "I'm going to run and grab you that medicine okay? But in the meantime, no more standing up." She stood and went back to the door. "Not before we find you a crutch or something."

Oliver's eyes went to another girl who came out of the foilage toward the group. He gave her a kind smile as she approached. Oliver split from the rest of the group to meet her halfway, Mallory trotting along behind him. "Hello." He said. Then he raised an eyebrow. "Welcome. You uh..." He glanced over his shoulder towards Melisandre and her group. "You made it to the party." He said with a soft chuckle. "Name's Oliver. This here is Mallory. And you are?" He said sticking his hand out to the girl.

Illyria glared at the sugar glider who had winced himself, then he sat up and stared boldly at her. His brown eyes unblinking. They had a minor staring contest before Ria signed and shook her head, turning to look back at Lurene when he spoke.
Her gaze flashed to the ground, she felt her doubt becoming to poke at her again. 'no way we wouldn't be friends?'. Pudding groaned, covering his head with his tail. 'Just accept it and let's move on!' he snorted.
Ria mumbled a soft 'shut up' under her breath before giving Lurene a smile. "Now that we have all those icky feelings out of the way," she joked softly. "Lets try catch up, hm? How long have you been here?" she moved forward, hesitantly.

Nyx narrowed his eyes at the woman when she approached them slowly and took a small step back, Nova tensed slightly, watching Nyx her attention was drawn away however when she noticed another person appear.

The person who had been named as 'Ben' as far as she was concerned, moved to greet the girl and her bonded. Her gaze flicked to Alyssa and Ragnar as they moved into sitting positions, concern clouded Nyx's thoughts when he noticed this but he didn't take his attention off the others in the clearing.

Nova inched forward and sat a few paces behind Nyx, only partially hidden now, her icy eyes flicking from one human to the next, Nyx glanced back at her, slowly moving back to the snow leopards side. 'I don't think Alyssa likes foxes.. Or she knows that girl, not sure what one but she seemed to snap when they appeared.' his thoughts whispered to Nova, at his thoughts Nova looked over at the duo sympathy slipping into her own thoughts. 'Yes, I noticed. Give her a few moments to compose herself. Then we can see if she's alright, okay?'

Nyx nodded at Nova in reply, glancing around at everyone once more. 'This is the biggest group I've seen in a while, also a lot of bonded.... he exhaled gently, looking back at Nova who was watching everyone in the clearing intently once more. She smiled slightly, amusement sparkling in her gaze then. She flicked her ears up and gently touched his leg with her tail. 'I didn't notice. Thanks for the information.' she stood then, slowly moving over to Ragnar and Alyssa. 'Let's see if our friends have noticed, hm?'

[Swordboy]

Melisandre Cirwedh

The red-haired woman gazed around at the large group of people gathering at the entrance of the safe house and put on a warm smile despite her worry and spoke to the group in a loud but warm and gentle voice. "Welcome to the safe house. My name is Melisandre." She knew her hopes to search for Odahviing were lost now, there were too many new bonders, she couldn't dump them all on Ben to run hopelessly around the forest searching for a lost dragon. "If you'll all follow me inside, you can clean up and I'll answer any questions you may have," Melisandre let her words sink in as she slowly gazed around the group, searching for their approval.

Jason Alex Haley
Fallen

Jason reluctantly nodded in response to Everest’s demand. He felt foolish honestly and it wasn’t a feeling he enjoyed. First, he injured his ankle on a stupid tree root, not even something dangerous or impressive. A damn tree root! Then he collapsed into the safe house and relied on these two girls to care for him and now he’d just made one of them cry for his own stupid, selfish enjoyment. The boy didn’t look up as Everest crossed the room to join Sage at the door. He didn’t even brace himself for the attack he knew would ensue upon the doors opening.

Odahviing

Odahviing picked up his flight pace as the hunters appeared above him in the sky but knew he couldn't hit his potential speed or he'd risk abandoning the humans below him. Suddenly he veered left, away from the direction of the safe house. If he led these boys to the safe house with the hunters hot on their trail he'd be putting the security of the safe house in jeopardy. They'd have to head deeper into the forest in hopes of shaking the persistent hunters. We aren't going to the safe house, Odahviing answered Shultz, giving him a moment to process his words, hoping the other creature would understand the situation.
(there's only one entrance or exit to the safe house btw)

Ryan Jay Hunter

Ryan collapsed backward, the force of the hilt crashing against his skull sent his head spinning. He lay on his back for a moment, waiting for the pain to pass. The boy sat up slowly and furrowed his brow, looking at the girl. “Ow?” He said in a tone that seemed to be asking ‘what was that for?’ Ryan gingerly rubbed his injured head, glancing nervously at the girl, half expecting another attack from her. In the back of his mind, he knew that if he screamed loud enough the hunters he was with would come and they would finish this silly bonded girl but honestly he really didn’t want to do that. Besides, she’d already had at least two opportunities to kill him and she hadn't yet so perhaps she didn’t intend to.

[beani]

Tykio fumbled but caught himself and grumbled as Jamie tried to explain what was in front of him. He listened to Beo said "I told you so.", Tykio took his crossbow out with one hand and tried to load it but Jamie was gripping onto his other hand. He grumbled and used his mouth to hold one arrow as he got his crossbow ready. "Tell me when the forest branches become a little thinner above us!" He said to Jamie, although it probably came out as; "Tell me when his forest branches become thin a brick!"

Beo was a little heavy but Tykio wouldn't let him go. Woah-oh-oh! This is kinda fun! Beo said.
"If you think some Hunters chasing us in a plane is fun where they clearly have the advantage, then yes, yes it is!" Tykio said sarcastically.

Rakari ~ Teko
Rakari looked at his pain-struck eyes for a moment longer. "If you want to get out of this night alive, return to your 'friends', you will see that I am much more forgiving than others." before taking off into the forest. You're lucky, you know. Teko growled at the boy narrowing his eyes, He took off after Rakari.

Alyssa didn't have enough time to properly recompose herself, so she'd have to make do with suppressing what lingered from har racing thoughts. She scooted away from Ragnar and picked herself back up onto her feet, the bear doing so as well. Alyssa turned to Nyx and Nova as the pair approached, giving them a smile that didn't fully reach her eyes. "I'm still trying to adjust to having company around, but this is, umm... this is all a little overwhelming. I've never seen this many bonders in one place," she mumbled, sheepishly rubbing her arm as she spoke. It wasn't completely a lie, but Alyssa felt it would be rude to mention that it was the girl and her fox that had caused her spike in anxiety, so she left it at that.

Before she could ask Nyx how he was taking everything, Melisandre introduced herself to the whole group. Despite her warm smile and voice, Alyssa could not help but still feel intimidated by her. But it had been months since she had a real bed and a safe space, and she soon found herself feeling very grateful for Melisandre's generosity. Blue eyes darted from bonder to bonder, avoiding the fox and glancing at Nyx and Nova for a few seconds before finally settling her eyes back on Melisandre. Alyssa voiced no approval or disapproval, but simply looked at her with her lips curved into a small smile. A chance to clean herself up sounded wonderful right now.

Jamie Silden | 16 | Male | Schultz - Nachtkrapp | Tags: Tykio - Beo, - Odahviing

“Not going to the safe house?” Schultz grumbled. “I suppose it makes sense, but I’m not sure how long Jamie can keep his pace. He doesn’t usually run so fast, and certainly not for so long. Any ideas on how to lose them?” It annoyed the Nachtkrapp to have to hand authority over to a dragon they had only recently met, but he knew that with Hunters able to keep above them, they needed all the local info they could get. After a moment of thought, he also decided not to tell Jamie that they were essentially going in the wrong direction, he might faint at the thought of more running.

Jamie winced as he got struck in the face by a branch he had missed. “Thin as a brick?” Jamie questioned, trying to figure out how thin the brick should be. “I think I see a clearing up ahead, do you want to slow down so you can reload?” He asked, selfishly hoping Tykio would say yes even though Jamie knew they should keep going.

Esta watched Melisandre and the others carefully.Her attention shifted to Loki as he started to growl.She was ready to say something when he stopped and sat down.
Her body visibly relaxed when Melisandre introduced herself and mentioned the safehouse.Her mind and body were buzzing with relief.They made it.She couldn't help finding her thoughts drifting off to imagining what the safehouse would be like,what it would feel like to lay in what would be her own bed again and what it would be not to be on the run again.Whilst she had,for the most part,evaded the hunters,she hadn't been so lucky in the weeks prior.'It would be nice to just relax and unwind,eh Esta?' she asked the moose.'Of course,I feel like this trip has taken some years off of my life',came the lighthearted reply.Although,Katja could sense the remaining tense tone in Esta's voice.The thoughts of the safehouse brought her mind back to the issue,literally and metaphorically, at hand."I'm sorry but,do you have a medical bay?"she asked,glancing down at Claire and then back up at Melisandre.After a short pause she added,"My friend needs help,urgently".

Loki didnt like all the bonders around them but he made himself not focus on it. They had made it to the safehouse, something he didnt think existed. He was shocked, this shouldnt be here. He thought it was only a myth told has a fairy tail to have a happy ending, not to be physically real and yet here it is. He wouldn't let his guard down. Not yet, this seemed to good to be true. He looked from Esta to the women who said her name was Melisandre, baring his teeth passively. He would do anything to protect Claire. And now he was acting as if he was a wounded animal fighting for his life. But he waant the one hurt, though he would die if she did.
