Aranea tugged hard on the bindings securing Muris's hands and dragged her along swiftly up and out of the dungeons, and up onto the first floor of the Castle. She had kept hold of the cloth and chloroform in case Muris struggled in anyway. She would not have her escaping before the trade could take place. They had soon left the imposing building through a small side door and she led her across the grounds.

Filix jogged behind Equus, focusing on anything but the teenager. Trees, lush green grass, that was a pretty flower, and through the hedge where it had thinned enough for Filix to see through barely, those wings could only belong to Pappila. And with her, someone covered in blood that Filix had never seen...
"Equus! Is that him?" Filix skidded to a stop, pushing aside the thick branches that seperated one area from the other.

Equus stopped, turning towards Filix, and his jaw almost dropping to the ground. Yes, he nodded slowly. Too many questions, they were hurting his brain, he wanted things to be nice and clean and how he was raised to believe they should be, after all.
"How... what... Laniger... gah..." Equus sputtered, unable to make heads or tails of it. Eventually he shook his head, clearing it out. "Yeah... that's the moon court fey... but... what is he doing here?"

Too many frickin' voices...
Feles brought his hands up to his ears, mewling softly as he tried to curl into a ball. The pain shot through his leg once more then, spurring him out of unconsciousness and making his eyes snap open in shock. The first thing he saw was Papilla there... then the other two approaching. Letting out a hiss, he tried to scramble back away from them and only managed to make it about a foot or so. "Get away from me," he snarled, looking between the three wildly.

Pappila looked across at the pale Feline, and stood herself, just watching him. He couldn't move very well apparently, but the problem of unconsciousness had been very neatly solved for her. She looked over at the other two, and her face broke into a bright grin as she recognized her old friend.
"Filix!"
She smiled, and ran over, clinging to her friend for a moment, then pulling back, and drawing her own attention back to the problem at hand, with a soft frown.
"He may be a Moon Court... but... I don't think he's much of a threat."
She shook out her hair a bit. Oh, it was so GOOD to see Filix again!
"I've missed you OH so terribly!"
Which was true - but there was a "dilemna" to handle here before she really could start to reconnect with her friend. A dilemna that didn't want to be touched, and could not move very far. A dilemna named Feles, of the Moon Court.
"What should we do with him?"

"Pappila! I still can't believe how you're almost an adult..." Fili grinned, hugging back. "Pappila, this is Equus. Equus, Pappila."
She looked over to the Moon Court fey. He looked harmless enough, but he wasn't completely out of it. He'd probably still have some sort of magical ability on him. "Doesn't look it, but he's still Moon Court. Trickery and deception is as natural as breathing to them. Equus, can you tie him up and carry him? We should take him to the Courtyard."
Filix brought Pappila away a little bit, and added in a low voice so that only she could hear, "We're swapping him for Muris."

*After getting Lutra to her quarters and making sure she was ok Lilium walked back out to the courtyard* Where are those two at? I can only hope they are patient enough to wait for this trade.
*She sat sown on a bench her mind wandering to thoughts of Muris and hopes that she is well*

While Filix spoke, Equus searched. He didn't exactly have any hope upon him, and it took quite a while, before he found some growth that could be appropriately used for the purpose. He frowned as he took it back, it wasn't much, and it might not hold the fey, if he got back to full strength. As he was, well, maybe it would... it was just temporary after all...
"Pappila, a pleasure," Equus greeted, as he came back, bowing shortly as he went directly to Feles. He knelt down next to the moon court fey, and tried to turn him on his stomach, gently enough, and lashing his hands, behind his back, and tying down a length, two feet in distance, between her legs, keeping him from running, or walking, more than two feet at a time.

Feles struggled as he was bound, but it was ineffective at best. Hissing softly, he tried to lash out at Equus with his claws, only to find his hands held fast. When he tried to kick was when he realised just how large of a mistake that was, and his head fell against the grass with a soft cry as his wounded leg reminded him that it was still there.

The Butterfly grinned softly at being introduced to Equus, and made a neat little curtsey. This was ever so exciting! But she was more than a little worried when she heard Muris was missing. She was having a little bit of trouble remembering the Mouse, but then memories flooded back, and her eyes grew serious. She lowered her voice.
"They have Muris?"
She looked back down at the Feline, and seemed to be struggling with her own set of decisons. She wanted Muris back - very much. But she wasn't too keen on hurting anyone else - even if the someone else -was- Moon Court. She thought for a little, then looked back up at Filix, hugging her again, and hissing in an insistant whisper.
"We -will- get her back safely? Oh please say we will! We must!"
More than a little color had come to her cheeks, almost anger. She looked back down on the Feline, and then her visage softened.
"Laniger -didn't- have to be so hard on him, regardless..."

"If it is only a trick, and the Moon Court don't return with Muris," Filix replied softly as she patted Muris's arm, "That wound would probably make them change their mind quickly. Besides... on someone as pale as that boy, it'd look worse than it really is. So don't worry. He'll be... doing whatever they do for fun... quickly."
The last part was a bit of a lie, but Filix grinned weakly at Pappila anyway. She didn't blink at the sound of pain the Moon Court boy made, Filix was thinking about Muris and how she'd be now. Those things in that castle had probably done a lot worse to the poor thing.
Still... Pappila did remind Filix that they probably weren't setting a good example. It didn't exactly give the Moon Court a reason to treat any future prisoners better. She tugged off a part of her fabric with a quick rip, and bound it around the bleeding wound on the teenager's leg tightly. It would make Pappila feel better.
"Let's get him to the courtyard quickly... I don't want to miss them if they'er quicker." Filix muttered to Equus, without looking at him. Then she went back over to Pappila's side, holding out a arm. "Come on, we can escot them together. You've got good magic that won't hurt him, if he tries to get away."

Feles let out a hiss, the boy's pale eyes wild as Filix moved towards him and bound his leg. Damn, but that HURT! The wound was infected already, and his skin was nearly feverish to the touch. If he'd been able to take a swing at her, he would have. "Don't you touch me," he snarled, not looking too dangerous the way he was slung over Equus shoulder like a sack.

*Lilium was growing restless. It hadn't really been that long but she still worried. She couldn't sit any longer. Instead she stood and began pacing the courtyard looking in all directions for Filix and Equus*
((Well guys I'll be gone for the weekend. I'll be back either sunday night or monday afternoon. Not sure how much access I'll have so I may not reply til then.))

Muris followed stumblingly behind the spider-woman, but her mind wandered. She had, at this point, no idea what was going on, and less inclination to find out. When would they kill her at last and get it over with? Where was her Alcie? What time did the penguins...well, that wasn't a matter.

Aranea yanked Muris along, tugging cruelly on the chains binding the mouse Fey's wrists together. She moved as swift as the girl could travel. Her heart beat hard; she had to get Feles back. The quicker she could trade for him the better. Finally she realised they were at the outskirts of the clearing that was central between the Sun and Moon Courts territories. She halted, scanning the area, listening. No one seemed to be here yet.
