Di smiled kindly as she had carefully placed her lantern staff out of the way on the ride. Looking to Zach as he had come out of his thoughts, she frowned slightly as her team leader seemed to not be all there."I wonder what plagues him,"She pondered before asking him directly. Even if he said everything was fine, she didn't know if it was good to believe it completely. Understanding only when he said he thought of the past...and mentioned their first meeting and the present reminding him of it.
A blush painted the young woman's cheeks."How can I forget...I literally crashed into you,"Diana replied sheepishly. She could not see until it was too late on her landing. The thought of her flight making her a little somber as she thought of what she had lost. But, looking at her friend, she was happy again in thinking at least she didn't lose him, or Missie for that matter."I hope O recovers...And that we get to spend fests with him in future,"Di thought before looking back at Zach."Well...I guess it is. So...When we get to Lake Theros, what do you wanna do, Z?"Diana agreed with him when her thoughts returned to present before changing the subject. It wasn't that she didn't want to look at the past, but the butterfly Faunus was excited about the here-and-now.

Zachariah de La Vallière
Whether she blushed out of only embarrassment or perhaps some other reason, it was all the same to Zachariah. She still was as charming in his eyes just as she were that day they first met. Funny that, though. The boy hadn't looked at Diana as being anything other than a teammate for a while, rather than seeing her as a pretty girl. Perhaps this distraction from daily life was exactly what they needed out of the fun filled festival.
While he did smile about remembering the back pain of their first encounter he also felt a sense of sadness for Diana. Her beautiful iridescent wings had been stolen from her, ripped away from her very body, and that's why he's sworn in his heart that if he ever found the villain who harmed his friend he'd make them pay dearly for their crime. Dwelling on such troubles, however, was not the vibe of the day; And thus Zachariah was glad Diana was as bravely kind as she was. "If only we all could be here together.
Being asked what he was interested in doing Zachariah gave a slight unsure shrug. "I don't know. I kind of wanted to swim for a moment before looking at the stores. Or maybe vice versa. Maybe pick up a souvenir for everyone..." As the sun shimmered through the treeline and entered the vehicle's window Zachariah's shirt began to change with peeking sunlight through evergreen trees; Z's sheathed swords silently being happy resting beside their master. "Oh, what would you like to do? If you have a different opinion I'd be open to hear it Di!"

Diana looked to Zach with the respect that any leader deserved, but also with her innate kindness as he looked to her. Amethyst eyes seeming calm and genuinely content; despite all, she'd been through. Though she found him lost in thought after she answered him, so she would place a fair and dainty-looking hand on his."If only, but the other two can join us another day,"She thought, only guessing what could be on his mind at the moment before the subject changed to what they would like to do.
His reply made the young woman's lips curve into an expression of joy."That sounds like a great idea. ...Though might be best to shop then swim...Hmm, maybe check out the pier too,"Diana replied, pausing to think in the middle before continuing with what she desired as well. Zach was always a friend to her, and a great teammate; even Missie was tolerable...if not pleasant company at times. She would then take her hand and fold them in her lap as she looked outside."Do you think we are almost there,"Diana inquired excitedly before turning back to her human companion.

He was more than a little confused. "An offering?" he said, then shot a confused smile at Danaë. "I guess I never really could remember what they did at Shrines..." He habitually pulled out his pillbox and popped a pill into his mouth and swallowed. Such a strange place this was, but it was pretty. "Does someone live here you think?" As if to answer his question the door ruffled a bit and an elderly bear faunus man walked out. His hair around his bear ears were entirely greyed. "He is big..." The man was quite large, but he didn't seem to even notice them. He simply kept his head low and walked over to the side of the building in the opposite direction where he stared at the sky for a moment.
They had definitely made enough noise where they would have been noticed.

Danaë finished her flower crown as they moved. The bear faunus seemed to look up at the sky. She would lightly bow to him, even if he didn't notice them. She would then try to find the shrine to put the crown. "Maybe while we are here, you can ask the god for your memory back?" She would smile. She loved him for who he was, but it was clear by him taking a pill, he was having issues remembering something. She would almost dance in the courtyard, waiting for him.

Zachariah de La Vallière
Sometimes a gentle touch was enough to say what was needed. Diana's kind hand upon his own eased Zachariah's mind and left him content of heart. Zachariah would place his other hand atop of hers and give her a kind smile and softly speak his words of gratitude. "I'm thankful for being lucky enough to have a friend like you." How long had it been since he had someone he felt this close to. How long had it been since he could fully rely on someone? The last deep friend he had felt so very long ago, which is why he is happy to have become a member of team DOVE.
Thankfulness aside, Zachariah kept a small smile to his lips as his companion showed her enthusiasm for his opinions. He felt you couldn't go wrong souvenir shopping when visiting new places, but Diana's delight to swim was a plus. It's hot and sunny out for crying out loud! Perhaps before the pier though? As the young man continued listening to his partner he couldn't help himself comparing her to some of the benevolent spirits he recalls from childhood fables; And there the human pondered if all butterfly faunus looked this way or was this just Diana's unique beauty.
The butterfly asks about their possible arrival shortly after. Giving a questionable hum, Zachariah looks outside the window; Steel blue eyes surveying as much of the land as he can see. "Judging by how hilly the forest have gotten I'd say we're just about there!" Zachariah was excited to see the change of scenery for a new land to venture, and with the prospect of the festival Zachariah was totally excited. Suddenly, he had noticed an elderly couple staring at them nearby. At first Zach questioned why the elderly couple had an odd smile to them but once he looked down and saw how their hands were it made sense. Zachariah had noticed how his and Diana's hands rested together just like the couple's did, which led to a blushingly odd yet respectful nod. "Geez, why they'd have to get the wrong idea."
With a smooth stop and a slow drop of the doors the vehicle had finally made it to the station, dropping off it's passengers at one of the safest rural towns; Theros. One by one every passenger disembarked into the sprawling hills of houses along businesses interlaced with the emerald greens of nature. With phoenix banners above and street performers bellow Zachariah excitedly gazed through the town. "This place is way bigger than I thought! What about you Diana?"

Narx smiled at her suggestion. "I guess it's worth a try." He then turned away from Danaë and closed his eyes. praying silently in his head to whatever deity might be tied to this place. Once he finished he took a deep breath and turned around to see that the elderly bear faunus had taken notice of them and approached them. "Hello!" he said cheerfully, but the man simply signaled in sign language back "Oh, I'm sorry, but I don't sign..." This was awkward. He looked to Danaë to see if she knew how to sign. "Maybe he can read lips?" The man smiled at that, which showed he did, yet he still looked to Danaë to see her answer. Obviously knowing what Narx had asked her.
The elderly bear faunus would pull out a map from his back pocket and on it was a red circle showing the shrine and that the road around the shrine would take them to Lake Theros. He was smart enough to know they were lost it seemed.

Danaë would look towards Narx as she heard his voice suddenly. He was looking to her as of he was asking if she knew sign language. She did not. She would shake her head. "I don't know sign language, however, if he knows how to write..." She would come over with her flower crown. Narx seemed to ask if he could read lips. He then pulled out a map, and showed them how to get to their destination. She would smile, and "Thank you!" she would put out her hand. If he wanted to say anything else to them, he could "write" in her hand.
Diana smiled softly as she was glad to be able to ease her friend's mind. Looking to their hands for a split second when his hand covered hers, she looked back. It was not unpleasant, she concluded. The butterfly was grateful she had joined DOVE when she did."Even with people I had not thought I'd come so close to. I'm happy,"She thought before speaking. In asking of their arrival, she was visibly pleased with the answer."Wonderful!"Diana retorted, oblivious to the elderly couple or their gaze on the two of them. She looked to Zach in confusion when she saw his face reddening, and would ask if he was alright before they would stop fully though.
In truth, she was getting used to being looked at; even without her wings, it did not seem to bother her too much. She would look out beyond their vehicle as they would fully pause in movement. Walking out with her human companion, she would slowly slip her hands from his to rest one to the side of herself, the other occupied with holding her unlit lantern staff as they walked. Of course, she was careful not to hit it on anything or anyone as they disembarked. The scenery was too beautiful...not as beautiful as home, but she thought it was close in comparison as she looked around. Turning her amethyst gaze towards the young man with her, she would smile."It's a beautiful place...almost as beautiful as home...Though maybe your idea for a swim first might be a good idea,"Diana replied before sheepishly stating a change of mind as the sun would warm the skin; a promise to her that it was only going to get warmer, so maybe a swim first might be best.

Narx liked maps. He always seemed to lose his way, especially in a new area. He would make sure to study it, it seemed they were not far off. "Thank you, sir." he said, but remembering the man couldn't hear he gave a kind bow. "Let's go!" he grabbed Danaë's hand and started to walk around the shrine. Though he wasn't in a rush. "Oh, I forgot the scooter." He quickly ran back and grabbed the scooter and brought to her. The old bear faunus walked up to Danaë before Narx got back and handed a small postcard with a picture of the shrine and it's address. He would then turn back to the shrine and go inside. After he walked away Danaë would notice that a small coin was taped to the backside of the postcard. It wasn't modern currency though, it was clearly ancient. Something used long ago. It had a picture of a shrine engraved into it and on the top of the shrine was crown of fire floating above.
"What's that?" Narx said as he got back and saw what she was holding.

Danaë would be taken by Narx. After they had seen the map, and Narx seemed to know where they were going to go. It seemed he forgot about the scooter in his rush. He would leave her behind to get it. Then the bear faunus would come up to her and hand her a postcard. However, it felt heavy for one. Before the bear faunus left her, she would write a thank you in his hand.
Then she would look over it. There was a coin taped to the back. She would get a closer look at it, seeing a crown of flame over it. Narx would come up beside her, asking what she had. The kindly monk decided to give us a souvenir. It seems the monastery is, or was apart of the beginning of the festival. She would then hand him the post card with the coin. Once he handed it back, she would tenderly put it in her bag. Once he was on, she would hold onto him, and let him take them the right way.

Narx smiled brightly once he saw the cool coin she got. "That really is special!" It was quite a nice coin, it wasn't flimsy at all like most festival gifts or souvenirs. This little trinket, a gift of kindness, made him want to come back here someday. As they scootered on out they saw the sign for the shrine on the other side that read 'Shrine of Theros.' With the same crown of flames emblem. "Let's come back here some day." He and Danaë's would have a bumpy ride for about a mile before they finally joined with a paved road. It was very fresh and smooth. The fields around them were stunning with the long grassblades that danced with the wind, and the forests seemed untouched. Yet this place had a sense of peace and safety about it. It was very strange compared to how most of the world was now.
"I think I see it!" he said, stopping the scooter at the top of a large hill. Danaë would be able to see the large laketown off in the distance. It was bustling with activity, but not nearly as busy as Vale's streets would be. Vendors of all sorts could be seen, hundreds of booths on the main street, the traffic trickled off the further you got from it though. Narx would then take them finally down to the main area and would find a place to lock their scooter on a side street.
"This place, is even better than I imagined." Narx said as he admired the old architecture on some of the buildings. Overall it was very modern, but the main street had some older designs to make it feel as if one was stepping back in time. It was clear that Mistral folks were a large portion of the population by the oriental designs. "Maybe we can grab a few more snacks before we head to the other side of the lake?"

Danaë would smile, and hold on, her assets bouncing against Narx the entire time. The bounciness was a bit annoying, but she would deal with it. She couldn't wait to get back to the school so she could do something with that really unique coin. She also was going to enjoy her time with Narx as well. They were almost there.
She would watch the lake come into view. She loved it. It would be so romantic to have lunch by the lake. The view, it almost made her wish that she had brought a camera. If someone came up offering to take their picture, she would buy a copy of the photo! "It's so wonderful!"
Once they got nearer to the town, Narx asked if they wanted to stop for a snack. She looked at the stalls, looking for something rare, juicy, and meaty. Danaë was a carnivore, through and through. Narx was an Omnivore for sure. He eat everything, and she meant everything, forks and the like as well. "Maybe some grilled eel and grab some cold drinks?" She was drooling a little at the smell. She couldn't help it, it was so yummy looking.

Narx liked how Danaë thought . "Grilled ill does sound delicious!" he said as he looked around. He didn't see any right next to them, but after walking around the busy street full of smiles and festivities they would eventually see a sushi restaurant serving just what they wanted. He would promptly buy some and hand the sticks of eel over to Danaë with a bright smile. He bought plenty more than they needed. As Hunters in training they both had big appetites usually.
"That was delicious!" he said licking his fingers clean. He had also bought two cold drinks. They were shrouded in a mystery wrap so you didn't know what it was until you tasted it. "I wonder if the eel is local. It was so fresh. And these drinks, a mystery? Thaat is unusual..." He would crack open the soda and try it. His tasted like some strawberry mix. It had a bit of a kick to it though. Very good, but definitely unique. It made his face turn a little red in the cheeks.
"Not sure what they put in this stuff, but it's good." he said, handing it to Danaë to try after she tried hers.
After exploring the streets until their hunger started to come back and the sun was getting lower in the sky. Narx decided it was time to find their picnic spot. Originally the plan was lunch, but now their lunch would be dinner. He would grab Danaë's hand and they would head up to the lake. The walk was not short, but it was very beautiful and pleasant.
"Someday, we should come back here..." Narx said with wonder in his eyes. "Maybe we can own a house here?"

Danaë walked with Narx through the streets. When she saw a drink that she wanted, she would sneak away, and go grab it before Narx knew she was missing. She kept an eye on him though, never letting him get too far. Danaë would smell the eel before Narx would. Her mouth was watering from the smell. She couldn't help but get right up to the stall, and stare at the eel. If she had tail feathers, they would be moving in excitement. As soon as she was handed an eel, she would snatch it off of the stick with her mouth, almost forgetting to chew. She didn't care about decorum right now. She was a carnivore through and through. The taste was amazing. She wanted more. Narx had gotten them enough. She went for the second one, and did the same thing. It was so good. She made a little hoot of happiness as it slid down her throat.
She wound pound her chest a little, her face red from embarrassment. She would take her soda. It was a citron color. She would sniff it and then because Narx was trying his own, she would drink hers. Hers was sweet and savory, it had a woodsy taste to it that she didn't mind. It left a little bit of an aftertaste in her mouth. "Hmmm...I think I like this one? It's kind of odd." He would hand over his drink, and she would hand him hers. She would try his. She enjoyed hers much more.
They would walk around, there were games and things. Danaë would try her hand at some of them, but not many. Narx would grab her hand, and bring her to a picnic spot near the lake. She would lay the blanket out for them. She loved the entire day that they had.
"I would love to come back. I would also love to own a house here. I've always lived near a beach, and maybe a lake would be different than the Ocean." Danaë sounded so happy, like she was trying to suppress a lot of her hoots.
