 It was well into the night following the Seer's reading that Thom entered his home. The male was making a beeline for the bed, past any paes, past the living room, past everything. With the way he felt physically all he wanted to do was curl up and cry. Cry for the pain, cry for the sudden void he felt like he had. Lady Vanya had indeed done what she said and given him a sleeping drought and something for the pain, but even the seer's talents did not cover all the pain that came with his sacrifice.
Thom would never forget that day's events no matter what the final outcome, he'd never forget his emotional roller-coaster as he tried to defend his past and move forward with the present. He just hoped he could pass the trial that was to come.(( he has stumps on his back where his wings were as a note ^^ ))

Cela was used to getting her way when she wanted something, but during the time her father had been out... her mom hadn't exactly bent to her wishes. For this reason she was grouchy, and she had been huffing around the livingroom. When she saw her father enter the cave she was delighted and called out to him... no reply, in fact he'd walked right past her and not even waved... how dare he! she thought to herself.
"Dad!" she repeated her call and chased after him, it wasn't until she'd caught up with him and he'd stopped moving on the bed that she noticed he wasn't his usual feathery self that she knew and loved. She shrieked at the top of her lungs, "Daddy?!" she ran forward looking at his bare and obviously sore back "What did you do?!?!" she was NOT being quiet about it whatsoever.Thom groaned and covered his ears hearing the shriek from his daughter, it wasn't that he didn't want to talk to her but at that moment he just was in so much pain from it all that knowing he'd be asked for something... it just wasn't in his evening's list of to-dos "Cela love, dad needs some quiet" he said quietly with pain in his voice"Quiet? at a time like this? Celano turned and ran from the room being that her dad didn't tell her what happened, and that she had had no idea he'd been with the faun's Seer that was the only thing she could think to have possibly happened to him. How else could he have lost those feathery wings she always knew him to have??? She ran back in moments later with a towel and ice putting it on Thom's back to which he flinched. She may have been a spoiled brat, but she cared about her father.

Dispite the pain he was in, Thom nearly fell back asleep. Cela's actions though tendering to his skin were refreshing too. He'd nearly forgot she was there as she had been so quiet.Cela looked around as she kept the ice pack on his back till it was nearly gone. Then she spoke "Dad? whats for supper?" Her mother and sister had gone hour several hours before and she was hungry. She had the want for some fish or maybe some rabbit, or some other meat and she didn't really want to wait till morning to have it.Thom groaned, so much for being nearly asleep. "Cela love, you are going to need to run to the lake for some fish or something" He barely moved when he told her this, he knew she wouldn't like it not even in the least but he had no desire to get up from that bed at all.Cela blinked, her? go hunt? but he never told her this... She dropped the ice package near him "Fine I'll go" she told him in her usual grumble when she was told to do something she did not want to do. She left the room and dug into a closet soon emerging with her dad's fishing stick, a sharpened 'spear' of wood which he attempted to fish with, usually unsuccessfully. She made her way down to the river's edge and started to attempt to catch a fish in the dimming light huffing and being grumpy the whole time.

 How Twinkle had ended up overshooting her house by so far again was anyone's guess, as by now she surely should have known an exact route to take. Perhaps it was her enjoyment in seeing different things that led her so far astray? Either way, she knew something was wrong as she began to see a river coming into view, full-well knowing that there was none close to her house.
It was going to be a long day, wasn't it?
Especially considering how early she had awoken to get to the tree in the first place! She had to in order to make the return trip by sundown, and even now she could see the brightly-lit circle descending on the horizon. A small sigh escaped her lips as she came to the lake's surface, choosing to at least sit and rest her hooves in the water for a while. Who knew how long she had still to walk?

The harpy cursed loudly missing the fish time and again. To see her had to be quite a sight, the usually primped out female knee deep in the water staring down into the water the 'spear' head up and them jabbed down over and over again. She didn't notice the fauny nearby she just wanted to get this job done so so she could could go back to lounging around in her room... If her father was passed out that is...
Cela still was turning over in her head what could have possibly happened to cause her father's wing loss. She knew she was relatively safe near the water, she could only thing that maybe her father had gone into one of those more dangerous forests or someone was simply evil and attacking him.

It wasn't until the faint sounds of cursing, caught in the wind, came into earshot and ripples started to hit her hooves that Twinkleshine realized that there was someone else out here too. Her head turned, quizzically looking around until she found the blue bird struggling with her hunt. So... This made the 4th of their kind she had seen: Sparrow, Aella, Sammy, and now her. They were all girls too, how strange...
Not moving to stand, she instead called out to her. "Do you need help with anything?"

Celaeno's thoughts were interrupted by the female voice calling out to her and stopped looking up to see the fauny, need help? well perhaps she could get this newcomer to do the work for her. So instead of snapping at her, she changed her tone from the frustrated one she had been using to one sweeter. "These fish don't want to be caught. You couldn't possibly manage it for me could you?" This could be her lucky day if the fauny agreed to do the catching for her. She motioned the now still spear in her hand that she had been jabbing the water with. "My dad asked me to catch dinner while he gets better from whatever attacked him", she still did not know he had willingly given up his wings as a step in the fidelity he was wanting to swear to the tree for her mom.

The smile faultering slightly on her face, she closed her eyes, shaking her head in response as she spoke, "Sorry... I'm not a fisher... Or a hunter... My friend..." a pause, as any mention of her former roommate tended to bring forth mixed feelings due to the circumstances with which he left, "...used to catch fish for us. Now, my daughter does most of the hunting, but she's recently left us. Where to, only the spirits know..." It still pained her to know how rocky things had been left with Sparrow just up and leaving without a word. A mother could sure worry, but more than worry was how badly she hoped the girl would one day come home.
"You father was... attacked?!" she questioned, concern clear in her voice. "There aren't any infections with his cuts, are there? That little I could do to help, or..." she paused, looking to her supplies. "...I could provide some bread or something? Most of what I have are grains or plants." The bag, sitting on her side, was full of oats, flour, and a various assortment of fruits and vegetables.

She made a face, not a hunter, how did this weird female eat? Meat was a important thing, at least in her eyes. She didn't want bread bread was a horribly useless food. Her parents ate it but all she wanted was meat "No meat? You have no meat?" She didn't questioned about the daughter, in all honesty she didn't know who this daughter pae was and thus didn't entirely care. Then almost as an afterthought she answered the other question nodding "Yeah, his wings are missing! it's got little stumps where his pretty wings should be, he won't get out of bed." She tried to explain this to the female

Shaking her head, she sighed. "Sorry..." a small smile came to her lips as she laughed lightly, "...You even have the same preferences as my daughter; must be common to all of you then." Trying to think of any possible meat, she internally shrugged. There really was none on her.
"His wings are... gone...?" That was strange, and painful sounding, but there wasn't really anything she could do unless the stumps became infected. "Any idea why?"

Cela made a few more pitiful attempts to spear a fish before giving up and replying to the fauny. The whole idea of only eating grains and plants was not in the least appetizing to her but it seemed she'd have to find someone ELSE to hunt for her. "I dunno if there are infections, mom would usually take care of that, but she went out somewhere" she frowns and at the same time looks in the general direction of her home where her father lay half passed out.
"You gonna look at it then?" she looks back at the fauny pointedly, the female was obviously no use for food to her, but maybe she'd be of use to her dad.

Blinking, Twinkleshine was momentarily at a loss for words at the sudden questioning, not that she really should have been caught unexpected. She had offered to be of help, after all, but it had begun to sound as if there was little she could do. "O-oh! Well... Yes, I can if you want me to..." Quickly moving to stand up, she brought the back back onto her shoulders before stepping out of the water.
"Lead the way, then. I'll see if there's anything I can do." Even if this girl seemed to dislike the thought of what food she had, maybe her father would find the idea more favorable.

The harpy nodded and turned around facing the direction of home and waded out of the water to the shore. "Home is that way" she pointed up towards the hills where their cave was. She used the 'spear' like a walking stick and led the way. She would search the cupboards later to see if there was anything she deemed edible available. The hike wasn't short and Cela turned now and then to make sure the fauny wasn't having issues following her to the cave. It was getting closer to late afternoon be the time they arrived. Cela motioned her company in and pointed to the ajar door that was Thom's location "He's in there" she said

"Okay!" Twinkleshine nodded and moved to keep up with the eagerly-moving bird, staying just behind her. Both of her hands held onto the straps of her pack to better steady the contents, particularly due to the difficulty she had keeping her footing at certain parts. Her eyes glanced up to the clouds every once in a while, noting the changing tinges from blue to light orange.
Yes... She would be quite late in getting home... Hopefully Ocie would not worry himself too much.
The fauny's head tilted as they approached what appeared to be a cave. Huh... Pae live in caves? Well, they lived in trees, so... why not, she supposed. Following again as she was gestured in, her head looked to either side to try and gauge out the place before catching the bird's claw pointing to a door. "Oh, I see." She set her things so they leaned against the wall carefully. Walking over, she knocked on the door lightly before leaning her head in. "Hello...?"

Cela watched the faunie at the door, she watched her slowly enter. She sat on the couch and turned to face the door and watched it. And she listened wanting to know and to hear what was going on"Cela hun..." he looked up with one eye barely open, that wasn't his daughter, who was that.... "Oh, who are you?" he asked and closed his eye again, Thom didn't want to move, that included his eyeballs.
