Welcome to Gaia! ::

Frowning, Blade shook his head and sighed.

"It's been days since we've been able to sleep on a bed. I'm sure the ones they have here are nice and soft too..." he said, hoping that might get her attention, "Besides... it wouldn't really do you any good to be out here on your own Mitsu."

"It's fine out here." Mitsu said as she rolled to her side running her fingers through the grass. Blade seemed to want to press the issue but she really didn't want to fight with him. She didn't want to fight with anyone. "It.....seems safe here. I...I'll be fine." Curling up a little she tried to press the issue that she was staying here without saying it. Maybe he would get the idea.

"But you'll be much safer if you're with us" poke said as well. "And I couldn't go back with everyone else knowing that you were here, all by yourself..."

She looked at blade when he made a reference to a dog house, not quite sure if that was the best thing to say, but she didn't say anything about it

For the first, oh, five or so steps, everything seemed to be well. Awkward, but well. Neko's threat hadn't been acknowledged, but Yuki did something else that was probably not going to bode well; he tripped on an uneven stone tile. Regaining the balance he hadn't had to begin with was out of the question, though he did tighten his arm's grip around Neko's neck as gravity won the battle and sent him falling toward a rose bush.

Except it wasn't a rose bush. The thorns were much too thick and long for that.

Not getting a reply, poke just shrugged and sat down on the grass, feeling rather drained herself. She would wait until mitsu felt like she wanted to go back, or she would sleep outside with her. The cold wasn't a bother for her; Her stomach was full so she had plenty of energy to burn and keep her warm. Although she secretly wished mitsu would go with them. A bed sounded very nice at the moment...

All seemed to be moving as smoothly as guiding two drunk people could go. At least the first few seconds anyway. As soon as Yuki lost his balance and tighten his grip around Neko's neck, the feline's eyes widened to see what they would be falling toward. As quickly as possible he dislodged Hitsu from around his torso and pushed her in the other direction while he turned trying to pulled Yuki out of the direct aim of the thorns. "s**t!" He gave a sharp hiss as his back fell into the bush, thorns poking and tearing into his skin. It only seemed to help matters as Yuki fell on top of him, aiding the thorns in getting a better grip. Eyes twitching slightly from the pain Neko tried to push Yuki away toward the grass.

They had only made it a few steps when Durzo heard the first sounds of distress and turned back around to find two of the men in the bushes. Not sure which direction the female would go he headed toward her quickly.

When Riyo fell flat on her face Tobi barked in her ear before licking her cheek....nothing...no response. That was strange, maybe she had decided it was nap time after all? When Atticus picked up her arms and started to drag her away Tobi hopped up on Riyo's back to hitch a ride. Placing his paws on her shoulders he barked up at Atticus, though it was uncertain if it was in protest of the treatment he was giving Riyo or trying to urge him forward like a reverse dog sled team.

----

They didn't seem like they were going to leave, but the two were no longer protesting that she go back either. That was fine, she doubted they would stay out once the sun went down. It would be far to cold. It never seemed to cross her mind that they could carry her back.

Stifling another yawn, Mitsu tried to let her mind relax. It was hard after all the things that had happened today. You would think she would have been used to the craziness by now. In all honesty, the dragon city wouldn't have kept her awake...it was just Suto who crept about the shadows of her mind. In the daze of memories they finally lapsed into dream. Mitsu hadn't actually known how tired she was until she had actually closed her eyes but it seemed like only moments before she was asleep. Her breathing finally came in slow and steady breaths, her body giving a small twitch here and there as she settled into sleep.

At first, poke had almost nodded off as well, with her head supported on her hand she jerked up when blade asked her to start moving.

"Ah, right" she got to her feet and followed him back to the tent. She wasn't worried about if she would get lost or not. She was sure she could ask Durzo for directions. But she did wonder if there would be food there still; maybe she could score some more when no one was looking...
