Sable couldn't help but smiling wider as Rylenn wiggled at him. It was kind of...cute. Was that the right word? Oh well. It didn't matter, as long as it stayed in his head. He nodded eagerly, quite ready to get this show on the road. Standing around gabbing was making him a little uneasy. He is a lab tech, chatting was not something he did well. It almost never happened while he was at work. All business, no play.
He was jerked from his thoughts as the two professors over by Weiyuan started to chat...er...squabble. Sable couldn't help but frown. They hadn't even started out, and there were already hard feelings? The lab tech sighed softly, glancing down at Rylenn. "...do you think if we head out with your friend, they'll follow?" he asked in a low voice. He didn't need the other adults angry with him...but if they could get moving, maybe they'd just move on from their argument.

"You're right!" Elijah chirped, following now directly behind RuiZhi. He looked back to Lina and Irame with a grin, beckoning them to follow without saying a single word or gesturing to them before he turned back forward and searched the forest once more. Feeling his heart race within his chest, he felt as though he were truly alive, a feeling he had hardly experienced before. Certainly this would be something new and exciting and defiantly something he would never forget.

Ka glanced over to Alex and smiled slightly with a little nod. It was true that it didn't really matter now ... they were here, so might as well try to help, whatever the danger was. He knew that he should still say something to Far though, or the other boy would likely be upset.
And so as they kept walking, he took the other's hand and squeezed a little. "You don't have anything to apologize for. I chose to come, you didn't force me into anything." He offered a quick little smile that was just a bit different from the one he'd given Alex. "So stop worrying."

Weiyuan thought over the landscape slowly. "The last time we were here, the group I was with went directly into the forrest. Kenth suggested we went to the far right, I believe that we'll be passing a lake then. And since we're closer to the water, there's a larger chance of the Luna Caps being in that area." Yes, he remembered from the view of the room he used last year. He had wanted to explore that part last time but didn't get the chance. "It's best to stay off any worn paths and avoid sticking too close to trees."

Rylenn smiled and nodded. "They'll follow.. They have to.." He had to snicker at Sable's comments. He tilted his head some and his natural flirting nature came forth. "So.. tell me about yourself, Sable..."

Listening to Wieyuan, Sable couldn't help but wonder how one avoids getting close to trees in a forest. He might be a city boy, but even he knew they were lots of trees in a forest. He blinked, scratching his head. Maybe he had misheard, or something. Maybe they weren't heading into the forest after alll...?
It might help if they actually decided to talk to him and Rylenn instead of amongst themselves. He'd like to know what the hell was going on too! Sable sighed and glanced back down at Rylenn. "...about...myself?" He shrugged. "I have an older brother and a younger brother...two charges...and I'm a lab tech?" He paused. "That's about all, I guess." He shrugged. "M'not very interesting. My charges, Rook and Saint, they're pretty interesting, I guess." He made a face. Well, one had a gender-identity crisis and the other was the nastiest thing he's ever met. Yeah, 'interesting' pretty much covered that.
He looked over at the teachers and Weiyuan. Still talk? Oi. He glanced back at Rylenn. "And what about you?"

Rylenn grinned and blushed some. "Can't tell -everything- on the first date, can I?" He winked, obviously teasing. "Well.. what do you want to know? I have unpleasant.. aaanndd.. unpleasant." He nodded and thought about his past. His face began growing dim, with the thought.

Sable snorted at the comment. First date, hah! Like he would know the do's and don't's of dating. He didn't have a chance to make a witty comment, however, as Rylenn's face began to fall. Oh god! What had he done!? Inner Sable began to flail, grasping for something to keep the redhead from getting upset. He was never able to keep Saint or Rook happy either.
"Please...uh...I didn't mean to-" he mumbled, running his hand through his hair and adjusting his glasses even though they hadn't slipped. It was a nervous tick. "I'm sorry." God, did he make everyone unhappy? Oh, wait. there was Juno. Juno took great pleasure in teasing him. Mercury and Nereus were nice enough. Yeah. "We can talk about something else, if you want."

He shook his head with a small smile. "It's all right. I promise." He patted Sable's shoulder. "You know you're very twitchy?" He grinned and patted Sable's shoulder again. "Calm down.. I always get depressed. It was nothing of your doing. It's just been rough until now." He nodded and looked at his lover. He sighed and shook his head a bit. He looked at Sable. "I was born to a whore and a good upstanding Christian man if that gives you a good reference of how my life has been." He smiled gently. "But I wouldn't trade it. I wouldn't be here.. I wouldn't be with the people I'm with now... if I hadn't gone through what I had gone through."

Sable blinked a little. "Twitchy?" He blinked again. "It must be from the lab, I guess," he said, looking a little confused. It probably had something to do with having no social life, or something. He smirked a little to himself. At least his bosses didn't have one either. Anyways. He glanced back at Rylenn, tipping his head a little. Huh. Well, that certainly didn't sound pleasent, no. He hadn't gotten along well with his family, but it probably wasn't something like that.
"Well, I'm glad it work out okay for you," he said cautiously, hoping that was the right sort of thing to say in a situation like this. "My older brother and I fought a lot." He frowned. "Well, actually, I think it was more like me running for my life and hiding under things." He flushed a little. "I'm not very brave," he admitted. "And I'm small." His brother really enjoyed fighting, too. Sable was more the academic type.

Rylenn laughed softly, imagining a smaller Sable running around in such a fashion. "You know that sounds incredibly cute, right?" He grinned brightly before poking Sable's nose. "Well, I will protect you, Sable, I promise." He winked then thought for a moment. "How old are you?"

Sable coughed a little, brushing his hand through his messy hair again. "Yeah, well, I sure didn't think so," he said, looking mildly annoyed. At the age of seven, he was sure he would die. Jen wasn't nice. And he was like, five years older? Six? He wasn't sure. Jen was just big. He blinked, snapping out of it when Rylenn poked his nose.
"Protect me?" he exclaimed, looking a little indignant. He didn't need to be protected! "I'm twenty-one...two!" he huffed, adjusting his glasses. "I can take care of myself, y'know. I wouldn't live in the city if I couldn't." He nodded sagely. Except, this was the woods with scary mushrooms and creatures and...nature. He shuffled closer to Rylenn. "I take that back," he muttered, pulling his glasses off to clean them with his shirt.

Rylenn laughed and wrapped an arm around Sable's shoulders. "Don't be afraid, City Boy.. I'll make sure the scary trees won't rape you." He smiled and hugged Sable. "I'm kidding.. I'm kidding. I'm from the city too.. but the forest isn't anything to be scared of. Muggings are scarier.." He smiled gently.
He paused and thought for a moment before, "And yes... I can imagine a small you tearing through the house, screaming at the top of your lungs. That, dear Sable, is adorable."
(Love you forever if you get the tree-rape joke)

Sable sniffed as he put his glasses back on, unsure if this was even worth taking offense to. Or if it was a matter that even required being offended. Rylenn probably didn't mean it that way. He sighed, deflating a little. "Yeah, yeah, scary trees." He snerks, ruffling Rylenn's red hair as he hugged him. Hugs were nice. Nicer than trees, apparntly.
He wrinkled his nose, making a face at Rylenn. "Yeah, whatever," he scoffed. He never did it to his little brother, though Vance was probably bigger than him by now. He was probably close to Rylenn's age. "I just make sure Rook doesn't do it to Saint. So I guess that makes it a learning experience?" He shrugged. When he went to boarding school over in the States, he was able to indentify the scary kids without ever getting in their way.
He yawned a little. "So. You think we'll ever get a move on?"

Rylenn smiled and peered at Sable. "I doubt it. Not for a few minutes longer. It requires our guide to get moving and our teachers to stop bickering. If it doesn't happen soon, we can start heading in a direction and hope they're paying enough attention to follow us or stop us. We're going right, correct?" He smiled gently and laughed. He was getting attention again.. and it was nice. Someone liked him. He smiled gently and laughed. "You're silly, Sable. I take it Rook and Saint are your brothers? Which is the older?"
