DragonStar doesn't really answer the question, but he appears to accept it well enough. At the next, the granite-and-diamond feli's ears twitch. "Well ... whenever you want, really. It'll be a hike, though so we should probably get some supplies from the kitchen before we go." He looks in a better mood at the suggestion, however.
Saii
"Let's go now!" Her excitement was clearly evident, as she giggles, making a dash towards the kitchen. After being cooped up in the feli house in such a long period of time, April was anxious for an adventure. It had been so long since she's been exploring! ..Somewhat.
April doesn't really bother to wait for Drago until she reaches the kitchen, struck with the sudden realization of having no idea what to bring, or how to bring the food. It would be a long flight...and April wanted to be as prepared as possible. But having no experience of going on such adventures, she turns to her mate, with a sheepish look on her face. Plainly April didn't know what to do.

A wry ghost of a grin flickers up onto DragonStar's features as he watches April, and, in a lazily practiced manner, he swings himself up onto all fours, swaggering after her, shoulders slightly hunched over, as usual, head carried low -- a gesture that might look threatening to some, suspicious to others. But it's just Drago's surly personality shining through.
He ducks into the feli flap, and jogs languidly into the kitchen, noting April's confusion with another wry look. He jumps up onto one of the counters, and noses around in one of the cupboards. He drags out two sturdy-looking leather packs, oddly crafted. It looks like they're made to be carried by felis ... and not getting in the way of the wings, no less. They fall to the countertop with a bump, and Drago noses them over the edge onto the floor.

April merely grins and watches in curiosity towards the two packs that dropped onto the ground. Jeez, Drago sure how to travel...
Sniffing cautiously at one of the packs, the opening gets nudged open, and dust flies out, causing her to sneeze a small, "Chu~*". Falling onto her rump, she only blinks at Drago, still not sure of what to bring. "What kinda food are we bringing?" Meat would spoil... there was fruit... but was that all? She never did look through the refridgerator carefully, nor did she have any experience of living the outdoors. Hunting would be out of the question for her. After all...easy life in the house could do this to a feli...

As the dust rises to his level, DragonStar breaks off chortling at April to sneeze as well, wrinkling his nose. He lightly jumps down onto the floor, opening the packs with an expert muzzle. He glances over towards her, slightly impressed. "Well, we'll bring some tinned fruit ... probably peaches ... but not too much, that'll really weigh us down. It's what we'll eat up first. But other than that, dried biltong -- it's a type of meat -- is always good. It won't spoil, and it's filling, if bland. We'll need a good supply of water, too, at all times ... we'll have to fill up several times along the way, there's only two canteens here. And dixies, to eat out of ... but we can also find things along the way, cress and mushrooms and acorns and all sorts of things. I'll show you." He rummages through the cupboards carefully, nudging out what he thinks they'll need as he does so.
Saii
She bursts out laughing at him as he sneezes during his mid laugh, only to sneeze again herself. Oye, stupid dust. April almost seems overwhelmed by all the information hitting her at once. Of course, she had no idea what some of his terms meant...such as dixies...cress, but she merely shrugs. Drago obviously knew what he was doing, so April merely does her share of helping by placing one, or two of each item in their bags. It all seemed to complicated! "Did you do all of this when you went exploring by y..yourself?"
winterfalcon
"No," DragonStar says, as he packs food into the haversacks, " ... and it almost killed me, too. I didn't know what things were edible and what weren't. Fortunately, I met up with an old traveling feli, and he sternly explained some things to me ... such as how to live off the land, and what you should bring to be prepared. It's stupid to go out not knowing, if you know there's a chance you could get lost or it's a long trip, like ours is. Some plants are poisonous, while others are good to eat. I can show you some things along the way.
Saii
She pauses from the packing, casting a... look at Drago before turning back, packing a bit faster. "So you ...you almost did die out there?" Biting her lip, April focuses on the packing, feeling tons of emotions, almost overwhelming her. So she was right. Drago did almost die. What would she have DONE...if he had? She only shakes her head, trying to get the thought out of her mind.
winterfalcon
A sardonic smile twitches on his muzzle. "I was too stubborn to die out there," He reassures her. "But I did lose some fat for awhile, and I got pretty hungry. It was a good swift kick in the head for being so dumb. Then I got set upon by some wolves ... nasty vermin. And the old feli saved me. He was a helluvafighter, I'll give him that. Anyways, we ended up traveling together for awhile, and he shared some of his food with me an' helped me learn how to survive in the wilderness. I certainly ain't the best, yet ... but a six-day hike won't go wrong, now that I know more about out there."
Saii
April only listens quietly while packing the last of the food into the bag. Wow. Sure sounded like he had fun... "Well, I'm glad you didn't die. =0= I'd probably go and maul the next feli that touched me, then go run off a cliff." She wasn't facing him when she said this, for she was hiding her blush and a bit stubborn look on her face. "6 days? I thought you said it was only a 3 day...hike...or flight..."
winterfalcon
He gazes at her, gaze lingering for a moment as he watches her quietly. He feels absurdly proud to know that she was worried about him during that time. At the querry, he grins slightly. "It's three days there, three days back. Possibly one day for exploring, if you want to hang around there." His eyes twinkle mischieviously.
Saii
If Drago knew how much she worried...he'd feel bad. :O And exploring? Grinning to herself, she turns around, excitement once again evident. "What's there to explore?" April asks, a bit slyly, trying to squeak some, any information about the place out of Drago. Curiosity was a killer, since April had been quite anxious to know what he had found. "Are we done here? Can we go?" She gently paws at the bag, as if trying to figure out how to put it on, but looking to Drago first, seeing what he did.
winterfalcon
DragonStar eyes her levelly, grunting as he hoists the now-full haversack onto his back. It's clear he's gone 'deaf' again, as he always does when he doesn't want to answer a question. Instead, he picks up the other pack in his teeth, and speaks through the straps, surprisingly clearly. "M'kay, putcher limbs through the two holes there, 'twill hold it on." He made this pack lighter than his own ... he has a feeling that April probably isn't going to be going too far with a heavy pack, not being accustomed to travel. Neither, really, is he; he's going to have to get back into his stride again, so they'll take is slow.
Saii
April only narrows her eyes at him, and pouts, but doesn't push the issue. She never did... afterall, she was going to find out...in 3 days. Oye. It seemed so long! Following his instructions, April puts it on, amused by the designing of it. Whoever had made this...was either a genius, or a very bored person. Adjusting, she gets used to the weigh, while stretching her wings, ready to fly. "Are we gonna go?" :3
winterfalcon
He just grins, quite dashingly, at her. X3 He finds her so amusing when she's irate at him for keeping a secret. He lightly lets it go, ears twitching. "Yup. C'mon, let's get outside ... we c'n fly for a bit, but you'd be surprised at how heavy these things can get. As soon as we start flagging, we'll go land and start walking for a bit. Oh, and another thing -- I go first, an' you'll go last. It was a point of honor with the old guy I met," he says, apologetically. "Females, he said, c'n see danger from behind more, and males are more quick at seeing danger from up ahead." That said, he trots out of the kitchen and moves into the entryway, disappearing into the feli flap and outside.
Saii
She only blushes as he grins. Gawd, did he not KNOW the effects he would have on female felis if he smiled like that all the time? April doensn't really mind the first and last thing... after all, Drago knew where he was going. It was only sensible for him to go first... but she didn't quite understand...the whole danger thing. Quickly, April follows him, not before waving and giving Emma a smile as she heads out the feli flap.
A somewhat chilly breeze immediately meets her, and she shivers, following Drago. It was going to be winter soon... which meant... SNOW! biggrin

He sniffs the air curiously as he gets outside. Geez, if it's cold ... "I dunno, d'you think we should pack a few blankets, too? Night's might get pretty chilly, 'n I don't want to be half-frozen every morning -- what d'you think, April?" He querries, head tipping to the side as he turns towards her.
Saii
Curling up next to each other, snuggled with a blanket..yep, Drago, that sounds good. A little voice pops into her head, causing her to blush again. Sheesh, it was like...the whole process backwards. It was usually the blushing and butterflies first, then falling in love. Not exactly the other way around. But April doesn't say that...and only nods vigorously, turning around and enters the house again, in search of a blanket.
It didn't take too long, for after a few minutes, she comes out holding a large blanket that was folded up. April tilts her head, questioning where she should put it.

His look is bemused and sly, but he doesn't comment on the blush, and watches as she disappears indoors.
His gaze shifts out towards the scrubland to the south, and the forest to the north and west. The breeze lifts up his fur. He feels rather free at the moment -- free of obligation and need and want. Adventure awaits -- organized adventure, not some random half-thought plan that tends to get them into trouble. The granite-and-diamond feli stretches his limbs, giving his fairy-like wings several cursory flaps. Yes, it was good to be out again.
As April returns, he bobs his head approvingly at her. "Here -- I think I might be able to fit it in my pack."

Saii
Setting the blanket down, so she could speak clearly, April glances behind her, at her bag, then at his. Somehow...his looked bigger. >.>; "I could carry it. I think I have more room..." To prove her point, she jiggles the bag, listening to the items shifting around in it. But she leaves the decision for Drago. "By the way, is your shoulder okay to fly with? =/ I don't want you to like...collapse half way and leave us stuck in the forest." She says this in a jokingly manner, but inside, April really was worried.
winterfalcon
"If you're sure," He quips, bobbing his head. "'n my shoulder'll be fine, it's healing nicely. Don't get so worried ... it's not like we're gonna be out doing a race, y'know." A wry, sardonic grin. "We're gonna take it nice 'n slow, and easy. This is supposed to be a vacation, remember, too. You ready?"
Saii
Stuffing the last of the blanket into her bag, she nods, grinning. April felt excited...which was a given, yet a little bit nervous. What...if something were to happen? But she shakes that thought out, isntead, taking in the fact that... they were going on a "vacation"! She's never been on a vacation before! Or honeymoon... The same voice pops into her head again as April blushes, a bit annoyed this time, and shakes that out too. BAD THOUGHTS!
winterfalcon
((LOL. Feli honeymoon! XD))
"'Kay, then," He says, then languidly takes off into the cool evening air. The sun's already started to go down -- they'll get a few good hours of light left, and then night will come. Fortunately, Drago' ... glitters. It'd be hard to lose him, really. The fairy feli soars up on one air curent, then down on another, chortling, and heads towards the forest, in a south-western direction.
