Morgana turned around from her walk with the two horses and looks up in surprise at the large horse approaching them and what seems to be someone on his back. But with it being dark, it was hard to tell who it was. But upon hearing the voice, she tilts her head, "Relm is that you? What are you doing out here, I thought you were still with Keme!" she says, approaching the two, taking note that Zucca suddenly seemed to become very agitated all of a sudden.

Hearing Keme's name aloud, the painter bursts into tears. Turning his head to nuzzle her gently Timex wonders at the orange equu's behavior. "I-I-I wa-as..." She sobbed, burying her face once more in the ninau's blue mane. But the comfort she sought would not be found there. Her shoulders shook with her sobs. "I-I... we've go-t t-to find h-him! I-I-I know h-he's g-g-gone... I-I-I know h-he's g-gone! a-an-nd i-it's a-a-all my-y f-f-a-au-ault!"
Full of concern Timex shot the pumpkin equu a pointed neigh. [You were with them, together. Please, do you know anything?]

Of course Zucca knew which direction Dimitrus had taken Keme and since he was also a part of Moochi's soul, he also knew where Dimitrus was at. But he also saw the entire happening and he wasn't about to be forthcoming with any information. He snorts and backs away from them, his ears flicking back and forth and his body language even becoming more agitated.
Morgana had padded up to the ninau and patted Relm's leg, confused over what she was crying over, even though she had a pretty good idea what really happened, but she needed to hear from Relm to confirm it. She looks over at Zucca, eyeing him as he seems to try to get away, but Guerra immediately bars his path. The Audio pads over to Zucca slowly, giving him a stern glare, "Zucca...you know something....tell us what happened now!" she demands, ignoring the screech he gives her, but she backs off when Guerra attacks the horse to get him to cooperate for Morgana.

Timex's ears twitched watching the darker equu attack the pumpkin one. It seemed as if he were trying to help but the ninau could not be sure. Meanwhile Relm continued to cry, her sobs slowing to quiet weeping & sniffles as she automatically took her handkerchief from her pocket. "I-I-I d-didn't m-mean t-to! I-I p-panicked... I-I-I-I..." Relm wiped her nose, not even bothering to dry her eyes. What would be the point? Timex did so for her, nuzzling her gently. "I-I-I hurt h-him! I-I know i-it! a-and n-now... I-I've got t-to f-find h-him! I-it's a-all m-my f-fault!"
The ninau could hardly bear to see his strong friend & sister like this. He cast his blue eyes in entreaty at the pumpkin equu. [Please, Zucca is it? Please tell us what you know. Anything... anything at all.]

Zucca sidestepped Guerra's attack, snorting at the ninau, "Why should I tell you anything? I saw everything that happened earlier, why should I give such information to you or her, especially over what she did to him!" the equu neighs and backs up as Guerra almost stomps on him.
Guerra growled darkly, baring his fangs at the pumpkin male, "Because if you don't, I will gladly stain my hooves with your blood tonight Zucca....we certainly don't need you to find Dimitrus..." the warhorse hisses, looking like he might carry through with his threat, his body strained to attack him. He only calms when Morgana rubs his shoulder.
Morgana calmly approachs Zucca, rubbing at his muzzle, "Zucca, it's important you tell us which way they went...Dimitrus may be with Keme now, but who knows what he might do on his own when he is distressed." she pleads.
Zucca looks ready to pull away, but with Morgana's pleading tone and Guerra's threatening gaze he finally relents, "I'll lead the way....but they better keep up if they really want to find him!" He growls. Letting Morgana get onto his back, and knowing Guerra would follow just so nothing would happen to the bloody female, he runs off, taking to the skies since it was easier for him to track Dimitrus flight from there.

Relm might understand ninau, but she did not understand the equu. Probably a good thing, though he told nothing but the truth & she would whole-heartedly agree with him. Wisely Timex chose not to relate Zocca's accusations.
Timex turned to Relm as the equu took flight even as he started to follow. [Little one, your help please.] She dabbed her cheek on Keme's jacket, nearly starting to cry once more. Somehow she did not, finding strength from somewhere, even if it felt more false than her usual acting. With shaking hand she reached for her brush. "Float."
Rising slightly from the ground Timex galloped to keep up.

Morgana held on tightly to the flying horses mane, shivering from the cold wind, wishing she had thrown on her jacket at least before leaving the house. But worry for Keme overrid her need to be warm. She was surprised they had flown for quite until finally Zucca landed in a large clearing that seemed to be covered in snow. She hops off and rubs her arms, looking around for any sign of Keme or Dimitrus. She smiles when she sees Dimitrus in the distance, his head to the ground, probably sniffing out something to kill so he could eat.

Relm tumbles from the ninau's back when they stop, trying to get to the ground. She seems to have gone into shocked silence though the tears still course down her face. Walking to Morgana's side she absently removes her cape & hands it to the bloody female wordlessly. She would have given Keme's coat... but she cannot.
Her fingers clutch at the coat as she hugs herself; shivering but not from the cold. The pictomancer barely feels the cold. She feels nothing but regret & sorrow. I've ruined everything... he won't even want to be my friend now. Not that I blame him...
Relm, you're a fool. Worse than a fool. You've hurt your best friend. The most decent audio there is.The one you.... She stumbled towards Dimitrus, hoping Keme was near too.

Morgana takes the cloak in appreciation and soon wraps herself in it. She sighs as Dimitrus, upon spying Relm coming at him, reacts in a bad way and he turns and gallops away, kicking up snow in his wake. She jogs up to Relm, "Relm, don't...don't try to go to Dimitrus, especially when he is mad over something....we'll find Keme, I'm sure. Dimitrus wouldn't leave him alone out here." she reasons, hoping that maybe if they followed the tracks they would find where Keme was.

Hurt fills her light green eyes but the pictomancer nods over the lump catching in her throat. He knows... he hates me... Fresh tears spring to her eyes as she steps back, Timex coming to stand behind her. Leaning into him Relm stares after the disappearing equu helplessly. I hate me too.... I hate me too...

Morgana could easily Relm's face, but she decided not to say anything, having a feeling if she did, it would make the shorter female feel worse about herself. "Guerra, follow after Dimitrus, more then likely, he's gone straight to Keme..." she says, hopping onto the warhorses broad back, glad he folded his wings up to keep her warm.

Lost in her self loathing, Relm could only pray that Keme would be found. She held onto that hope with all her might, lost to all else.
Timex drew her s close as he dared. What had transpired between the two to cause such a sudden & dramatic change? Relm said it was her fault, but the ninau could not see how she could have done anything to hurt one she so obviously loved.
Tien had escaped the confines of the cottage house, seeking adventure. The little blue grey kun sang to itself as it flew, sweeping to circle a firepit that smelled of the fun ones' & their magic before flitting off in a new direction.
A green banded cait raced across the ground, kicking up drifts of snow. Silly kun's going to catch its death out here alone! Probably forget to eat searching for new pelae! Locke smiled fondly, thinking of the kun. He had carried her bottle while Trelweny was lost to her grief after her mate Timex's death & he felt a particular attachment to the half foot tall fae creature. In fact, if this romp had not taken him away form his new little sister the treasure hunter would not have minded at all. "Tien! Tien! Where are you!"

The sounds of the two small pets reached Keme's ears and he flicked them, blinking open his red rimmed eyes. He shivered, standing up from the lone tree he was curled up under and he shivers violently. He totally forgot about his jacket, but as soon as he thought about it he thought of Relm and....well, he stopped those thoughts. He stretched and rubbed his hands together, looking around for whoever was close by.

Spying a familiar looking audio in a tree, Tien does not register that it has only seen images of the hummingbird male & flies like an arrow to greet him. "Aamha!! Aamha pelae! Idme dise! San disa mit ero?" The kun gushed, plastering itself to the audio's face.
"Tien! Tien! Get back here! Does he look like he wants to play?" Breathless, the cait ran after the kun. He stopped near Keme's feet, breathing heavily & ignoring Tien's protests of "Ene Locke! Ihi pelae! Rahna! Rahna! Eran disa!"
Locke smiled up at the tall audio. "Sorry about Tien there, Keme. Kunkun's have a mind of their own, no matter how flighty they are." His grin bordered on the mischievous. "Good to see you again."

Forgetting about the cold, Keme sat back down, slouching. Any other time he would have been quite happy to see the small pets and would have happily wanted to play with them. But instead he looks incredibly defeated, "It's good to see you again as well Locke...you too Tien..." he says in a low, voice. He perks his head as he hears what seems to be thundering hoofbeats and he turns his head to see Dimitrus galloping his way.
Morgana kept them all on Dimitrus' trail, hoping that Keme would be at the end. She really thought the two needed to talk this through, or if anything, at least so he could go home and get warmed back up.
