When Rosa would also see this she'd gasp. "Oh my! A shooting star! Hurry and make a wish Tala!" Rosa said quickly, her smile a wide grin now as she looked to him from her laying place then closed her eyes quickly, folding her hands in front of her chest, making a wish silently to herself, still smiling as she made her wish.
When done she'd open her eyes and look at him smiling softly. "If you make a wish on a shooting star they say anything you wish will come true. Though I'm not sure it works but it's fun to think it might." She said softly giggling before scratching her cheek a little. "Um....that doesn't sound weird and improper of a princess does it?" She asked softly, lightly blushing as she now wondered if she had sounded childish to Tala, feeling since he had been on his own and traveled more he might think her theory on wish making was childish.

((Could have written more, but went blank...)) sweatdrop  "Guess not," he watched as Rosa's strange little way of wishing before pushing himself to his feet... He guessed if he had to wish for anything he'd like to find out the 'truth' but as far as he was concerned, Sune was his birthplace and that was what he'd stick to... "We should eat, then get some rest..." he dusted off his pants before making his way over to where he'd stashed the fish; he made sure to split the share between them, whilst leaving a little for Meta, then he would stoke the fire again before grabbing two cloaks from the pouch on the Horzun's saddle and offering one to Rosa... Wrapping his cloak around himself he grabbed a stick and pushed around the embers...

Rosa watched and pushed up, standing and dusted herself off as well. Walking over to the fire she gave a soft nod, accepting the fish and took the cloak, putting it on around her before she'd sit down and begin to eat. "Thank you. You are a very nice guy. I'm very happy you're with me." Rosa said softly, looking to him before to the fire, starting to eat her fish quietly.
Meta walked over and began to eat his fish as well, not being picky. The Horzun was peaceful and quiet, a good sign it was calm without danger nearby, or at least at that time. "This trip has been amazing. I partly don't want to go back but yet I know my duty. I....was reading that book....it's amazing the history and what my necklace can do that the old man gave us back at the village." she said softly, eating some more of her fish again as she enjoyed the warmth of the fire.

"Caran said you'd know what to do when you were ready... Tala watched the flames dance in the pit before them, "So we'll return when you know what you're doing..." he meant no ill by that statement as it was an attempt to make her feel confident they weren't rushing back... "You should spend your spare time training..." his eyes flicked towards her, then back at the fire, "Caran would have said that too..." he frowned, realising he was starting to think about the Red Mage again... "We'll head over the pass at sunrise...If Meta can handle it, we should be able to see Sune by nightfall..."He was determined to return home, but there was something pulling in the back of his mind now - yet he knew not what it was... "You should get some sleep..." he guessed Meta would be alert for any danger this time and moved a safe distance from the fire before lying down. He would lay on his back, with his fingers laced behind his head for a while, just watching the stars, then he would roll over and close his eyes, his back against the log and cloak wrapped close around the back of his neck...

Rosa listened looking to Tala and watched him move over to lay down and nodded, having finished eating and yawned. "Alright, goodnight and sweet dreams Tala." She said softly moving away from the fire a bit and laid down on her blanket, curling up into the cloak and blanket also wrapped around her, getting comfortable she drifted off to sleep. The soft crackling of the fire brought her a soft warm dream, her body relaxed and comfortable as she slept, feeling safe under Meta's watch.
The Horzun did stay alert, even when laying down it kept fully alert for anything that was dangerous, its ears twitched at times as it listened, closing his eyes as he slept as well, never dropping his guard, going to protect its masters.

Tala often dreamt, but he'd never had dreams like those he'd experienced that night... Like the Blue Mage had seen, Tala stood like a shadow, watching a replay of the scene of the witch's escape from the castle, how she made it out of the city before the vision took him across the plains, then it would change, the scene returning to the castle... He would hear voices, opening his eyes he would look across a woman as she lay in bed cooing her newborn... for a moment it was as though he were a guard, keeping watch as the woman nuzzled her child, but then he would find himself looking up into her cool, blue eyes, her paled complexion and loving smile... What was this...?Something made him open his eyes and he sat up, glancing around him... the castle had gone and Rosa was sleeping somewhat peacefully close by... He must have awoken Meta as the Horzun seemed to glance at him strangely, an ear flicked backwards as though it wasn't sure what was wrong... Breathing a sigh, Tala lay back down again, staring up at the stars as they continued to glitter in the heavens above him...

Rosa slowly rolled over, her hands resting gently by her head. She looked so innocent and kind, like others.
When morning came she would roll over onto her other side, groaning as slowly she'd open her eyes in hearing Meta stomping one foot onto the ground. When she'd open her eyes and look to the sky she'd see that the sky was starting to lighten up, showing it was daybreak and the morning was beginning. Rosa yawned and sat up slowly, rubbing her eyes after the yawn ended, closing her eyes and moaned. "So early...." She grumbled softly. Opening one eye she'd look about for Tala, trying to get woken up so they could continue on their travel to Sune. She was curious to what was north of Sune that the blue mage had been speaking about.

Tala was already up and had covered the fire and packed what wasn't being used away, he turned his head as Rosa stirred, tightening the pouch which held the cloak he'd used overnight before turning to face her fully. "I left some fish for breakfast..." he said, pointing to a small pack on the log he'd slept by that night, "We'll head off as soon as you're ready."He hadn't slept much after his dream and had used his waking time to pack things away so they could move quickly...

Rosa looked over and nodded, standing and rolled up her blanket after shaking it off good to make sure it was clean and then handed it to him before going and picked up the fish and started eating. "Thanks Tala. How you sleep?" She asked curiously as, eating quickly as she was hungry.
Meta gave Tala a look as if asking him if he was going to tell her what kept him up last night but stood still waiting for him and her to be ready so they could head out and continue to Sune forest.

Tala returned Meta's look, then turned his head slightly, telling the beast through body-movement alone that he had no intention of telling her. "I slept." he said bluntly, tying her cloak up to the saddle before checking everything was attached, "Are you ready to leave?" he tilted his head slightly, wondering if she needed any more time...

Rosa nodded walking over as she had finished eating. She moved over as Meta knelled down and she got on, leaving room for Tala to get on in front of her. When Tala would Meta would stand and head on in the direction they had been going or the way Tala would direct him. Meta would go strong, going faster if Tala ordered or slower if ordered, having no intent of leaving its new masters.
"Did you dream of anything Tala? I was dreaming of the snow and the flowers in the snow." Rosa said softly, smiling gently.

"I don't dream..." Tala lied. Just as long as his nightmares didn't show through, he would stick to that comment... They mounted the Horzun and Tala directed Meta towards the pass, with his speed, Tala was sure they would be there in no time at all... "Flowers and snow..." he kept his eyes ahead of him as they rode, "You sound like you miss it..."

"Huh? Oh, yea, I guess I do miss it but I can't go back until I'm able to defeat Sion. I need to for mother and the people in the Ice Lands." Rosa said softly, touching her necklace gently and wrapped her fingers around it to hold it closer as Meta continued to run quickly towards the pass, not slowing down unless would be instructed to by Tala.
"What do you mean you don't dream? That sounds sad and boring to not dream. Maybe you'll start to dream as we travel together." She said giggling smiling softly to him, wanting to see him smile and happy. Meta rolled his eyes knowing Tala had but just kept running, glancing towards Tala with a look as if to say 'sooner or later she'll know' sort of look before looking forwards again as he ran.

((I thought it was Sino ♥)) *Later is fine for me* Tala gave a grunt that only Meta was sure to understand, then flicked the reins again as he was sure that once they escaped the pass, they would be bound to see the dark haze above Sune in the far distance... "Maybe." Tala answered Rosa this time, but kept the main focus of his attention on the road ahead... They would pause once they'd left the pass and Tala would scan the horizon before spotting his desired location and turning Meta towards it. "We're ahead of schedule..." he said quietly, realising they would make it to the perimeter long before sundown...

(yes your right >< -hugs-)
"Oh so does that mean we will have more time to set up camp or have time to find that place the blue mage spoke of?" Rosa asked watching Tala's back of his head as Meta kept moving swiftly going through the pass and the way to Sune. Meta snorted shaking his head a bit as if to say 'oh brother' to Tala's reply that the Horzun understood perfectly.
