Nerian looked confused at her a moment. Piper lost half of one of her ears? When did that come about? No in fact he didn't know that either...Kieran probably didn't either then because Kieran would of told him that. Oh wait..she wore a bandana over her ears...well that made sense. He himself wondered what the story was now...but another nuzzle to her cheek now and a happy little noise with a paw at the ground, kicking up a little wind. He always missed his family when he was away from the plan. Elven companion he may be but the Zephyrs still ran in herds across the land, as did he in his free time. With his brother and his parents..wow...starting to miss them more now. A soft noise to Bode again, flicking his ears about.

She giggled. "I miss my family too. Except now we are a little broken. Daddy won't be very happy to find out what happened to Mommy, but at least mew and him will be together again." She smiled. "Mommy taught me how I could see my family all the time! Whenever I wanted. That way, I wouldn't be so lonely. And even if one of them weren't living anymore, I could still see them." She reached out and cupped her small hand over the Zephyrs eye. HSe would have done the same to the other, but she couldn't reach it.
"Close your eyes. No peeking! Now think really hard. You can see them." She squeezed her own eyes shut. "I can see Mommy. She's pretty! And if you listen real hard, you can here them." She went quite, for once actually liking the silence of the huge underdark.

Nerian quickly understood the little game she wanted him to play as well, and obliged her,closing his eyes...though he had to admit it did work...then again that was the bliss of daydreaming. And he went quiet with her, the only real audible sound being breathing and then a sound of curling wind every now and again.

She listened for a long time to the voice of her mother, remebering all the advice he'd give, adn all the times they played together. She thought about her Daddy too. He was super nice, but if she did smothing bad, he didn't hesitate to punish her. She missed him alot. She thought about her borthers too, since they wree part of her family now. And she remebered how nice and soft Onyx's fur was, and what a gentle voice Moonstone had.
She sniffed. "It's a little sad, but being sad means I love them. And I would much rather love them then hate them." She opened her eys again and sat back down. "Things aren't so bad when you have memories to visit."

Were they sure she was a child? Cute little thing said some deep lines sometimes...but that was the joy of being a child...you didn't know the depth of your words and spoke freely as you pleased. Opening his own eyes he gave her a noise and nudged her again. So...her father was looking for her? But what if his cloaking and traveling the way he did make it so that her father perhaps walked right by them and they didn't see him because say they were sleeping? Couldn't he protect her better? And Nerian got the idea in his head for a moment to go look for her father...after all, who could travel faster across the land than a Zephyr? And that thought was conveyed to Bode with a particular look and a snort.

Bode tugged at her hair. "You want to get going again? Oh, okay. If your rested enough. I don't know if making yourself wind makes you sleepy or not." But there was an odd way that he looked at her that said she was only half right. "You...want to go..look for something?." She looked down. "Are you sure we habe time for that? Cause Moonstone said I was supposed to be far away and safe....are we far enough away to be safe?"

Well sleepy wasn't the word...but prolonged use of it all did drain him out a bit. Cloaking more so than the initial traveling. When Zephyrs were tired they walked on the ground not above it and they couldn't move by wind or cloak, couldn't control wind too well either. It was down right nasty...good think they had high stamina. A tendril of wind wrapped itself around Bode's waist, picking her up and placing her on his back as he stood, pawing at the ground with an encouraging nicker from him. Of course they were safe, that was his specialtly...fleeing and hiding that was. And time meant nothing to a Zephyr really...they all lacked the concept of it since they found in trivial.

She got a little scared when he lifted her, but that faded as soon as she was on his back again. She giggled. "Okay. Lets go look for what your looking for together. It'll be fun!" She twinded her hands through Mr. Nerian's main like Mr. Piper's Daddy had shown her, and got herself comfy.
"You go ahead and lead, Mr. Nerian. I don't know this place very well."

Okay then, let's go! Though he just started at a gentle walk...after all, he was in no worry...and this would keep both their minds off of things. Besides, when you were hiding out it was better to not stay in one place for too long, now wasn't it. It would be easy enough to find him he guessed...after all, he would smell like Bode right? And that scent would carry in the air and he could be the air. Wouldn't Bode be surprised...seeing as she didn't quite understand what he was getting at. But one thing at a time, stay to the high ground and keep moving, sifting air.

Bode decided she liked riding horses. It was way different than a lizard, and the "clop clop" of hooves was neat. Although this sounded quite muted, like mr. Nerian's feet weren't quite hitting the ground. It was quite nice, a tad theriputic.
"I wonder what you're looking for Mr. Nerian. Are you hungry? We didn't bring any food with us."

Oh she'd like what he was looking for. Pity she couldn't understand Zephyrs...then again it wasn't the easiest language in the world to ever learn...took some elves a decade or two to learn it. Wait...crap...that was right. Little girls had to eat things. That was one thing he always forgot...Zephyrs didn't need to eat, they just liked to. Other species however...well they needed food. A questioning noise to Bode, one ear swiveling back to listen to her. What did little girls eat again?

Bode hummed a littel tune as they wlaked on. Swinging her feet. "You eat grass. There isn't a whole lot of grass around here in the darkness. there isn't any sun to grow it. My favorite food is bread, cause you can put so many things on it! It's like you always have sometihng new to eat. Well, bread or candy. I like chocolate the most, but I've only had it once. It's not easy to find here, and it's really expensive. Daddy once bought a bar of it, and him, me and Mommy shared it together. Daddy gave me a nice big piece."
She wasn't holding on to his main anymore, cause she could balacne herself pretty easily on top of Mr. Nerian. "I bet you like apples, right Mr. Nerian? I like apples too."

Tracking was going relatively easy now. from Deepwater it was obvious what had happened to the Colloseum. form there a raft falling apart, a collum of fire. that led to the Purian Penninsula area. form there he had lost the trail. it was like she'd gotten up and flown away. but that ment that the 'winged combatants' he'd heard about in the dity must have her. and after his wife...they had to be pets of a certain damned woman. Right now he was out around Triumverate fortress, looking for any signs of his daughter. inspecting grass, leaves, branchs..anythign froma bent blade to a tiny trace of blood form a scratch to give him a direction. And lord help who had her.

Nah...he didn't like apples...he liked pears. A look around...he didn't understand how anybody liked it down here or how someone so cheerful like Bode could well...stay cheerful. A night spot of light in the horrible horrible dark...he wanted to go home. But okay...bread...how would he...oh! Serino could do it for him! Serino was still at the fortress...and he could talk to Serino easily no matter the distance. He stopped a moment and raked a hoof across the ground, seemingly pulling up a breath of wind. And he went stock still a moment, all the wind that had been playing around him a moment before, dying off.
Serino snorted and shook his head, making a fuss for a moment as the air around him swirled of it's own volition. But he calmed as he breathed it in, catching the scent of both a mountain breeze and Bode. Zephyr message...perhaps one would call it a type of telepathy. But his ears flicked at what they heard and with another snort he scraped his hoof on the ground before goign still and that wind dying down around him. A moment spent still before he walked away from the stables and Nightmare into the open, heading around the fortress. Nerian...he was such a dependant sometimes.

Bode didn't have much of a clue of what was going on. She hummed and watched the wind horse as he pawed around. She didn't thin anything of it.
Moonstone rubbed a claw against his nose. that's funny, he could still smell Bode. She hadn't been gone very long, maybe her scent was just still on his fur. How odd.
