Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Nadinia?" Nashira saw the dryad make her way past the fallen rocks. When she was safe, Nashira gently grabbed the girl's arm. "You're unhurt, right?" She checked over the Dryad in worry. Seeing all those rocks falling had put her on edge, and she wanted to make sure all her friends would make it through unharmed. She saw Patches and Mahuyah earlier, and she was pretty sure Azure had gone through as well, and she thought she saw Samhain head of her. Did Neptune make it? What about Zahneel?

"I am not used to sleeping on the ground like that, but when I went to bed, I fell asleep right away. Perhaps I over exerted myself last night." She had danced after all. And there was the guilt of having dragged Callixtus to dance with her. Her cheeks tinted pink again, and she shifted her head scarf in an attempt to better shield her eyes, and hide her blush. "I too hope the photos turned out. They will... make for nice memories." She looked back up into the Dryad's eyes. "I have my camera today." She bit her lip and looked at the simple device. "Do you want to take a picture with me?"

Despite Amihan's somewhat airy nature, she quickly fell in line with the rest. After putting away her tent (why was it always faster to take things down than build them up?), she couldn't help but first hesitate to go hiking. The Above sun was awfully bright but when it was clear she wouldn't burst into flames if she went into the light, the chimera quickly relaxed.

She wasn't so relaxed that coming up to a cliffside didn't set her on edge. And while she managed to avoid injury, she didn't manage to avoid the Nightmare behind her.

"Oop! Sorry! Did I step on your foot?" she gasped in apology.

She'd been happy enough to get the hike started. But as they walked, Zahneel kept glancing uneasily up at the sky. She'd been told that Above was much brighter and warmer than Below, but she hadn't really believed it. At least until now.

Still, everything was so interesting that she didn't really mind a little physical discomfort. She'd taken her camera from her pocket to snap a few pictures as they traveled. Finding Neptune in the group, she smiled and waved before hurrying to get closer.

"Want me to take a picture of you hiking?"

As the group was passing the bottom of what seemed to be a cliff, Zahneel's sharp ears heard the sliding and grinding of rock quickly enough to allow her to dive out of the way as rocks fell on the group. In her panic, she only knew that she'd managed to avoid being hurt. Looking around wildly, she could only hope the same was true for her friend.

Lillith kept her head down and moved as quickly as she could to avoid the falling rocks. She had no desire to get hurt, and hoped that the others would also come out of this without injury.

Tambre's head tilted to the side, musing somewhat, she didn't like being in this situation, but what was worse was that she didn't like others being in this situation and there was nothing she could do about it. She frowned, drawing in a deep breath as she kept her eyes looking about. "Glad you're okay." She stated to the other female near her, her eyes taking a quick look back at the rocks that had fallen, but it didn't seem like they were out of the woods quite yet as there seemed to be heavy nests of bees in the area.

Aurora was worried she shook her head not sure where Cylde was since she hadn't seen her lately. "I hope she isn't hurt but we should find her to make sure she is ok." Aurora sighed narrowly missing a line of bees that zoomed by her. She looked around for Coralie to make she they didn't get her and then she continued looking for Cylde to make sure she was alright. Aurora smiled after she dodged the bees, and saw that Bridgette hadn't been stung. "I slept fine, have you seen a pretty light blue-green chimera?? Goes by the name Clyde?? She's a friend of ours." Aurora said gesturing to Coralie. Aurora nodded and took a breath. "I'm just worried about her, what if she was hit by one of the rocks and needs help??"

She grinned, and nodded. "Yes, lets!" She fluffed up her hair and leaned in, posing for the photo with Nashira. She noticed the other girl blush, but opted not to bring it up. After all, Nashira hadn't brought up what she'd looked like on the bus. Friends didn't need to point out such details, as far as Nadinia was concerned.

"I'm not gonna lie, I didn't imagine this trip would be so ... intense." She wiped her arm across her forehead, trying to keep some lose hairs out of her face. Not that she wasn't enjoying being Above and all. It was just, this was a pretty intense hike.

"Are you liking Above so far?" She hoped that Nashira was, but perhaps this was a huge change for someone from Below, like going Below had been for her.

Coralie was managing to not get stung at all, the bees seemingly wanting to avoid her. Was it her salves she was using to stay hydrated? Perhaps, or maybe they just didn't see her as a threat ", I sure hope Clyde is okay. I haven't really seen them since we got off the bus. It is quite scary to be honest. Then again, this is a big group. Maybe Clyde is just closer to the back? After all, we are more up front than everyone else."

The nixie then took out another salve and put it on her arms this time, followed by her face. It really was too hot for her. She wasn't used to this kind of heat at all. Not only that, but the leg she had hurt during her last journey was starting to ache some, but not a lot. She could still walk fine for now ", I may need to rest a little later. My leg is bothering me some, but it is fine for now."
