As if understanding Faust she said "Well go for the berries in a while, don't worry Faust". However not leaving anyone much of a chance to reply she already was on top of the lowest branch of a tree, and looking for the closet one to climb onto. "Maybe we'll find something interesting up here, or at least a pretty leaf"

A broad smile appeared on Karma's face. She gave Faust a pat on the head, and quickly followed Air. "Yeah! I hope so. I'll bet if we get high enough, we could get a nice view as well." Placing down the basket she held, Karma grabbed onto the closest branch beside her, and hoisted herself onto it, searching for the next one.
Faust gave a deep chirp, and padded over to the tree's trunk. He plopped down on a patch of soft, dewy grass, and rested his head on a large root. Emitting a quiet snort, the gryphon gave in and waited for the pair to climb the trees.

"A nice view!! I handn't thought of that, I want to go as high as I can now... still doubt it'll be too high" she said suddenly stopping after going up just three branches. "I think I'm stuck" I don't see any other branch that can hold my weight up here"... "Awww, I should have chosen a bigger tree" she said going down just to start climbing up the same tree as Karma a few seconds later.

Karma peered around herself, attempting to find a branch to move to so Air could climb the same tree. "Yeah! It'd be a really nice one, especially with the clear skies, but..." She reached out to a thick branch above herself, and pulled, succeeding in only leaving herself dangling. "You're probably right, at least for me." Karma struggled to pull herself onto the branch. "I don't think I'd ever be able to ge to the top." The lady shrugged off the fact, and sat on the branch, waiting for Air.

Reaching the same branch as Karma she finally said "Maybe we should just sit here and rest for a while. Faust layed down too, let's wait until he's rested too" she smiled. She liked the wind on her face at this height, and the smell of trees and grass. She carefully sat down, making sure not to break any of the jars. "Can you see the berry bushes from here?" she finally asked.

Karma nodded, and slid into a semi-comfortable position on the branch. "Yeah, we probably should." She glanced up at the next branch, and shuddered, it was way to far up for her liking. "I don't know about you, but I doubt I'd be able to go any higher anyway." She mumbled, and peered down at Faust, who was resting against the tree trunk. A grin slipped onto her face, and for a brief moment Karma mentally photographed her gryphons peaceful state. Then she squinted her eyes, and searched the area around her. "Actually," she started, then looked at Air. "I think I do see the berry bushes. They're not too far from here, or so it seems." Her thoughts darted back to Faust. "Should we go collect some now?"
Underneath the two chatting adults, Faust lay, almost motionless. His ears and wings perked, however, when he heard of the berries. Were they going now? His head lifted from the lush green grass, and searched the area surrounding him. Jumping to his hooves, Faust chirped, and shook himself free of the grass' dew.

"Yup" said Air as she carefully made her way down. "I just remembered I'm hungry, so the faster we get there the better" she giggled. Once she was down she petted the griffs head and stood, making sure the contents of the jars were okay. "So which way?" she asked.

"Okay!" Karma grinned and followed suite, carefully, climbing off the tree. Her friend's hunger comment made her giggle as she landed on the ground. "Well, I'm sure that neither Faust or I want you going hungry, so..." The guardian looked down at her little charge, who was click-chirping excitedly. "Let's go!" Karma pointed to a slightly twisted path just ahead of them.
"Whurrrr." Faust hummed happily when he was petted. Noticing the jars once again, the young gryphon peered at them, and gave them a gentle nudge. Soon after nudging Air's jars, he bolted forward onto the trail Karma had pointed at. "Nyar nyar!" The excited Aerandir paused on the path, waiting for his human friends to catch up.

Air giggled when Faust nudged the jars and the followed after the griff. "Faust's so nice! I hope my little one is like that too!" she said smiling. "I just hope I like berries, I dont remember tasting berries before" .
When they catched up with Faust she waited for Karma to point the way again.

Hearing Air's comment on Faust, Karma beamed like a proud mother. "Thank you! I'm positive that your young one will be a wonderful little Aerandir." Scooping up the basket from the ground, Karma followed Faust, and waited a moment when she arrived at his side. If he knew the way, it was probably better to let him lead. "Well, I guess we'll find out if you like them soon enough. If my memory serves me right, the berry bushes should just be around one of the next corners."
Faust raised and lowered his legs, and immediatly burst into another dash when Karma and Air reached where he was standing. "Wyar, nyar!" The somewhat hyper-active gryphon had stopped on the corner that the berries were around, and chirped excitedly. The Aerandir waited for Karma and Air once more, continually alternating between ruffling his wings, and lifting and lowering his legs.

Faust seems in a hurry, said Air giggling. Running up to where he was "so where to now?" she had never seen berry bushes before, so if she didn't ask there was almost no way she would recognize them even with berries covering them. At her old home she was known for not noticing even the most obvious of things. "C'mon karma, ur lagging behind" she smiled, knowing the reason for this was that she had run to catch up to Faust.

Karma had to giggle, "Yup, he really likes those berries, and being the leader." The lady took a quick break in her speech so she could catch up to Air and Faust, berry basket swinging as she held it loosely in one hand. "So, naturally, he has to be fifty feet ahead at all times." She grinned as her young charge once again bolted from sight. "Just go around this corner here..." The guardian jogged towards the area that Faust had just dissappeared around. "And there they are." Smiling, Karma waited for Air, and then darted to the blueberry bushes in the center of the small clearing.
The hyperactive gryphon seemed to be trying to impersonate a speeding bullet. Everytime Air and Karma would get close, he shot off into another direction. "Nwark!" He'd chirp energetically to his human friends whenever he stopped. This time however, the little Aerandir could see the clearing that held his favorite treat, and his friends seemed to be taking longer than normal. So, he offered them a chorus of high and low pitched clicks, chirps and whirrs, and bolted to his tasty blueberries.

Air followed, smiling widely at the sight of the blueberry bushes. "Are those it?, the things on the bushes?" she hadn't seen blueberries like this before, the closest she had ever been to a blueberry was the name written on a pancake box. Remembering that some plants were poisonus she asked before even touching them, "can I eat all of them? or are there good and bad ones?", she blinked, showing her obvious lack of knowlodge on the matter of blueberries.

"Nyuu!" Plucking a juicy blue fruit from the bush, Faust pranced to Air, and raised his beak up, waiting for her to accept his gift.
Nodding, Karma wandered over to a pile of berry-remains. It seemed the local animals had gotten to them before they could. Oh well, there were always more. "Yup, they may be small, but they're really tasty." She picked a few from the bush, and tossed them into the basket held between her hand and her hip. " Well, as far as I know, anyway. Come on and try one." Tossing a few more berries into her basket, the guardian purposely picked up a reddish one and showed it to Air. "You just don't want to eat any unripe ones, they're kind of red, so it's easier to tell them apart. But other than that, all of them are edible." Karma smiled, and popped a few blueberries into her mouth. After swallowing, she grinned at Faust, cute, he was sharing.
Faust gently nudged air twards the berry bushes, and once again offered the fruit to her. "Nyu." He didn't quite understand her hesitation, but persisted nonetheless.
