Basti glanced down in confusion at Gyp and the girl who was dragging him, wondering what on earth she was trying to say. He stared for a few moments, completely missing Enrion's retort.
"...And that means what, exactly, in English?" Basti was halfway through this sentence before he realized he was speaking aloud, but he decided to finish the question, anyway.

"Apparently... but we'll see." Zen smiled to the messenger.
"Basti, about how far away are we? Can we get to the town soon if we hurry?"
He wondered, making small talk while walking around.
He starred at Des too without any polite shame, trying to make sense of him. How interesting were his reactions to the hurt cat woman!
It was kind of cute really...
His thoughts on the matter were interrupted.
"I've found you..."
Something told him in his head, but who sent the message was masked with careful control over such powers.
Zen hoped it wasn't a singular person, but he knew that man would never bother to conceal himself.
It could have been an old enemy or one of the shadows the twelve airheads were afraid of.
It could even have been a friend of his...
Zen supressed the urge to reply due to being linked to Angela. If it was an enemy, he didn't want them finding out about her.
His face likely betrayed him, since he was clearly looking at Des and unable to control the flinch across his visage.
Thinking of a lie wasn't going to be easy with Angela attached.

"It's...about six or seven miles due east. So if we move quickly we can be there in less than half an hour." Basti answered automatically, still staring in confusion at Gyp and the new girl, and he didn't notice Zen's expression of consternation.

Cheeva blinked as her eye seemed to fizz and burn. Slowly, the sight cleared. She could see again.
Blinking she looked around as Inutai and Toshi explained what was happening. Her eyes fell on her arm. Cheeva nearly levitated as she stared at the re-growing stump.
"Oh holy ********, what happened?" Looking for someone to vent her fear on, her eye landed on Zen. "What are you flinching and flitting about for? Why don't you do something useful like kill that thrice-damned man who did this to me? If you won't, dammit it all, I will! You hear that, Messenger, you better start running you foul, loathsome, evil little worm!"

His head shooting up at Angela's touch, Gyp mumbled something that sounded something like "Ayyymmmoohwwkaay," and promptly faceplanted back into the dirt and passed out.
The short girl snorted and rolled her eyes at her pathetic acquaintance, then shot a look at the tall bird-man--who, she noted, suddenly fluttering her exceedingly long eyelashes, looked oh-so-cute in her eyes.
"I mean, my pretty tweety, that your catty friend there looks like she went through a ********' meat processor. Mind updating me, sweeti--" she broke off as said catty friend suddenly started back into consciousness and admired the womans heavy onslaught of cursing.
"Ooh, you're a witty b***h. I like you." She grinned and clapped as the woman finished.

((I don't think he's put his wings back on yet >.>))
"...Ah. Cheeva had a bit of a run in with some magic fire." That was putting it mildly, but it was all Basti was willing to say, because he wanted to let her make up her own mind about the situation. Mostly, he wanted to do this because she was oggling him like the two healers had, and, at the moment, he only looked exceedingly tall. Would she want to collect his feathers, too?

||Let's say she saw the feathers and assumed, as she's seen people of the avian like before. XD||

Angela was too concerned about the suddenly passing out Gyp to pay much attention to what was happening with Zen at the moment. She felt a slight twinge in her mind but pushed it aside to deal with the problem at hand.
"You're not alright you bloody idiot!" she said, rolling him over and gazing down at him worriedly. "Gyp?" She shook him slightly. "Gyp?"
What was wrong with him? He didn't look hurt anywhere. She placed a hand on his forehead, which felt pretty cool against her hand.
She shook him again.
**
Enrion sighed when he heard Cheeva's threat. "Killing me won't do any good," he told her. "Assuming the council allows it to happen, they will simply send someone else. And if they choose to punish you again, you might not come out alive."
**
"He's right," Des said. "In any case we might still need him if you all want to return to your homes."
**
"Don't move!" Saori said through gritted teeth. She was almost finished but she was running out of energy and every time she had to realign her magic when Cheeva shifted around, was just a waste of precious, precious magic.
After Deni finished healing Angela, she took note of the others in this strange group and there was one person in particular who caught her eye. She squealed with delight.
"Puppy boy!! So CUTE!" And with that, she ran straight toward Inutai.

Inutai frowned when Cheeva started spouting off words he didn't particularly understand, and was about to ask Toshi what they meant when his ears twitched as they picked up a woman's voice crying out the words 'Puppy boy' and 'Cute!' in the same sentence.
He looked up just in time to realize that one of those healer girls was rushing towards him, and he immediately scrambled to his feet and hid behind Toshi, taking cover there. "I'm not a puppy!" he whined.

Gyp blinked blearily and blindly up at Angela as she shook him, but didn't do much other than slump over again.
The girl planted a pout on her mouth and her hands on her hips as she glanced thoughtfully back down at the kitty throwing a hissy fit; then back at the punk, and rolled her eyes.
"Oi punk, stop inconveniencing the lady and get off your lazy a**!" She commanded, grabbing the man by the shoulders and emphasizing each word with a jerky shake.
