Keilin & Chata
Sunlight flooded into a small, humble residence as a door was opened; a tiny green-goldenrod blur shooting out of it, followed by a small woman. Blinded by the sun, the woman turned away from the direction of the heavy rays for a bit, frowning a little. She blinked a little, spots forming right before her eyes. In response, she took her glasses off and rubbed them for a bit. Chata slipped through her legs and gripped her leg; locked into position, he suddenly sprung up on top of her head, ensuring a shout of surprise from the woman.
"Gah, Chata!" Keilin tried to keep her balance as the sudden pressure on top of her head threw her off. "Get dooown," she said gently.
Chata gave a half-disappointed, half-amused chirp. He jumped down instantly, looking about impatiently. Keilin started walking around aimlessly with real no intention of going anywhere specific, and Chata eagerly followed, whistling a little as they continued onwards. He wondered if he would bump into anyone like they did Kami and Keanu the other time.

Yakobi & Taranis
Yakobi ran about her house chasing after her new little Aerandir, Taranis. "Taranis come on!" she called out as before she triped over a box landing on her face. "Owww...." she mumnbled pushing herself up into a sitting postion. "We're going to go outside now. Get some fresh air and maybe meet some new people." The girl gently rubbed her head and stood up seeing her newly merged Aerandir pad up towards her chirping. "Good so we can go now?" she asked him getting a 'cheep' in reply.
The girl bent down picking up the small yet somewhat weighty gryphon. She quickly walked over to the front door opening it up and steping outside. "This should be fun." she smiled. Her little charge was outside for the very first time. Kicking up some dust she walked down the dirt path to her house. "Where should we go Taranis?" she asked as she continued along the path, their house becoming smaller and smaller in the distance.

Fae & Pueblo
"So, this is what we need," Fae re-announced to Pueblo as she held a peice of wrinkled paper in one hand. She read over smudged ink of the things they needed as they walked about. Or in Pueblo's case, floated about.
Pueblo stayed close to the paint brush in her mother's other hand as she looked around. She knew what half of those items were already, but as the wind kept passing by, or passing through her, her little ghostly figure quivered in delight. It was such an odd feeling, if feeling was even the word. She couldn't understand it.
As they trode along, Fae made out what seemed to be Keilin. Ah, she recalled when she had last met her. Smiling broadly, and rather hopeful, she walked briskily over as Pueblo tried to keep up. "Hey, Keilin!" She waved, then just suddenly caught sight of anoher familiar face. "Yakobi, over here," she called over, waving them all over into a little group like thing.

Keilin & Chata
A call for her name stopped Keilin in her tracks, lost in thought before. She spinned her head around - looking for the source of that vaguely familiar voice. Who was that?
Chata's head perked up immediately. A new voice! He ran three feet of Keilin; realizing there was nothing in front of them, he swiftly made a U-turn, now five feet behind Keilin, facing away from her. He spotted Fae and a distinct blue thing beside her. Chata cocked his head, a puzzled expression covering his face. He gave a curious squawk. What was that?
Keilin caught sight of Fae, waving back to her, finally. She hesitated, expecting a gryphon to be somewhere around. She took a step forwards; then two, and on until she reached Fae. Her head kept moving, trying to look for something familiar... Pueblo. She scratched her head and noticed something wispy and blue close to Fae, though she didn't give it a second look or thought.
"Where's... Pueblo?" she asked. Keilin was looking down on the grassy ground until a sudden movement to her side caught her attention yet again.
She smiled as Yakobi approached, looking at her through the corners of her eyes, thinking that Yakobi was by herself, the jar that she remembered from before nowhere in sight; she had still been occupied trying to find where the little owl-wolf gryphon was present at.

Yakobi & Taranis
As Yakobi walked up towards the two she noticed that there was a change in things sicne the last time she had met up with them...Fae's gryphon was gone, but there was a blue thing floating near the girl...Could that be Pueblo? Another change...Keilin didn't have her jar anymore, but there was a small little gryphon near her. She smiled at it "Is that Chata?" she exclaimed looking at the little fuzzy thing. Turning her gaze to the blue thing she had figure that it had to be Pueblo, Fae wouldn't have gone off without her Aerandir...Would she? The girl poited at it "Pueblo?" she asked turning her gaze to Fae.
Taranis let out a cheep as he looked around at the others...Who were they? "Cheep cheeeeeep!" he cried nipping at Yakobi's shoulder, as if asking to introduce himself. Although his caretaker seemed a bit preoccupied. He flapped his little wings and pawed at the girl, he wanted down and he was going to get his way!

Fae & Pueblo
There was an eager smile under Fae's lips as everyone closed in, but as soon as they were all around, the first thing she noticed was how Pueblo hide behind her. "Shh, it's okay. You remember Keilin and Yakobi, right?" She wishpered before any of them noticed.
But then the second thing...or rather things she noticed were two new gryphons. "Oh!" She exclaimed as the polarbear/penguin ran up and practically circle the nervous Pueblo. Her green eyes flashed up to Yakobi, the direction where the gryphon came from. "Is that...Taranis?" She grinned slightly.
Then, with teh flash of restless green, she saw Chata...or she assumed to be Chata, in Keilin's arms. Why hadn't she'd notice him before? "Wow! Chata, too? Congrats you guys! When did they emerge?" She asked, eyeing the energetic gryphons.
Pueblo's eyes widened and gasped a little bit. Who were those new Aerandir? After getting past the jitteryness, she reconized the two girls when she was younger. A gryphon. They didn't seem as big now, especially when she was floating at eye level now. Reaching out for her paint brush nervously, her hand fell through Fae's once again before she pulled it back and smiled dourly.
"Oh, yes! I nearly forgot- guys, this is Pueblo. She's...a wisp now since two days ago. I actually have alist of items that I need to colect too during the week..." she somewhat frowned, but looked happy about Pueblo anyway.

Keilin & Chata
"Yes, Chata emerged... it happened about half a month ago, I believe," Keilin stated proudly. She looked at Chata and smiled - in response, Chata blinked and happily squeeked.
Keilin blinked, now noticing the new changes in the Aerandir of these two since she last met them. Her mouth opened slightly, a slightly dazed, shocked expression on her face. A grin appeared all over, and then, with a chuckle, she tilted her head so that she could closer inspect the wisp form of Pueblo.
"Pueblo! A wisp! That's amazing, Fae! Congrats!" was all Keilin could manage to say; not having seen a wisp before in her life.
She examined the wisping edges that seemed to continuously move about near the bottom of Pueblo, amazed. Her attention, though, was soon caught by the polar bear-penguin Aerandir below Pueblo. She bent down, feeling the urge to touch the fur of the fuzzy little gryphon.
"Oh my, Taranis is so... he's so cuddly, Yakobi," she said, a bit embarassed, calling a male Aerandir 'cuddly.'
She slumped a bit, still slightly shocked from the marvelous changes in both the Aerandir.
"Items, you say..?" she caught herself, Fae's last question still lingered in her mind despite the concentration she had on the other Aerandir.

Yakobi & Taranis
"Taranis just emerged today." the girl smiled as she watched as he stood still as Keilin petted him. "Yeah he is quite cuddly. I'm surprised that he's staying so still, hasn't stood still since he emerged." she laughed slightly. She looked over to Fae and Pueblo "Pueblo is beautiful." she spoke in awe of the Aerandir. "So does that mean that she'll be turning into a humanish in a sense soon?" she questioned, tilting her head ever so slightly to the side. She was about to ask about the items when Keilin beat her to it. "Could we help in anyway?" she asked Fae. In we she was refering to herself and Taranis of course. She looked over to Chata "Chata's really cute. What bird is he mixed with again?" she asked.
Taranis stood very still as the girl stroked him. He felt someone overwhelmed about all those around him. He wasn't used to this...Not yet anyways. "Peep!" he cried out, his blood red eyes glancing at both Chata and Pueblo. His let out another peep as he stared at Pueblo. How was she floting above the ground like that? His little stubby tail wiggling back and forth, causing his bulky body to move as well. "Peep peep peep!" he called out, bounding up and down.

Fae & Pueblo
Fae nodded, though somewhat distractidly as she tried her best to listen to the other owners. She really couldn't leave her eyes off Pueblo since this was all new for her. Well, as far as being a wisp looking at new gryphond anyway. Staring down at Taranis, she grinned a bit in stare. "He's awefully frisky, the bother of them are. But I guess that's comparing them to Miss Mellow here," she said and gave Pueblo a warm smile.
Pueblo stared down at Taranis and cocked her head. What was he trying to do? Catiously floating closer to him, she reached out with her small arm to try and 'pet' him so much how her mother used to do. If petting felt so good (especially in the right spots), then they must like it too! But as her hand neared the penguin's head, she had almost forgot and it slipped through. Her eyes going wide, she drew back and furrowed her brows in hopes she didn't hurt him. Her mouth gaped, but no words came out. If anything, a slight wimper that sounded smooth and childish.
Fae had watched the incident and frowned side ways. "It's alright, Abby, you didn't hurt him. You just can't feel anything yet." She turned to her friends. "Once they're a wisp, they can't hold or eat anything. It's normal, so I guess I don't have too much to worry about." After awhile of watching, she dug out her list of items that she needed and recited the list. "It's some kind of quest where you have to obtain items that'll be combined with Pueblo so that she, yes, will hopefully soon change into a child. I still need a plain metal neckchain, a plain metal ankle braclet, one small flower, and one thick ribbon."

Keilin & Chata
Chata moved his head from side to side, listening to the people around him talk. His gaze lingered on the floating form of Pueblo above him, and he carefully stepped out of Keilin's arms, setting himself directly below Pueblo's wispy form. His head turned upwards while his wings ruffled, tail swishing behind him. He then suddenly hopped up, wings folded along his sides. Paws extended and reached at Pueblo's floating form, but to Chata's surprise, he missed! But he could have sworn that he made contact with Pueblo! Chata sighed in dismay and circled below Pueblo, and then walked up to Taranis. He poked his head into the moving Taranis's fuzzy polar bear body, curious about the other Aerandir-gryphon.
Keilin giggled at the peeps Taranis emitted, eyes still focused on him. "Thanks, he's mixed with a quetzal," she replied. "Quite an amazing bird, with its long, emerald feathers..." she continued, trailing off. "Though, a penguin... that'd be an interesting avian combination for an Aerandir, wouldn't it be?"
She bent down a little on her knees, a little tired from standing for so long. She scratched her head and hummed as Fae recited her list, pondering if she had any of the items she mentioned.
"I know I have some small flowers in a vase that my husband brought along when he came over - I guess those could work for that flower you need," she said contemplatively. "As for the metal things, I've never seen a plain one before, but... hey, we'll do our best to help you, right? I'm sure a thick ribbon wouldn't be so hard to find, either," she continued, partly looking at Yakobi and her Taranis with Chata's head poking in his fur.

Kiro & Tsukai
Tsukai soon finished his sleep after his 'birth' and had spent the last five minutes or so hopping around the room, fluttering, and peeping in an endearing fashion. As Kiro left the centre for another (and Tsukai's first) wander he was almost afraid the little creature was going to leap off somewhere and get lost.
The group of girls wasn't that hard to spot, in fact Kiro heard them first. He made sure Tsukai was securely settled in the hollow between his collarbone and his neck before moving quickly towards the group with a slight wave. Fae was the only one of them he recognised, but getting to know people was a high priority on his 'to do' list.

Fae & Pueblo
Pueblo's eyes widened as the elder gryphon, Chata, try to pounce her but fell through. She quickly knelt by his side and gave him an apologetic smile, moving her hands around as they passed through one another. "Heeaa" she murmured, showing him how she couldn't touch anything. But it was no fun being depressed! Flying back up to Fae's hand to make sure her paint brush was still there,she smiled, then flew back down to Chata and Taranis. There, she circled around them a few times until she realized what speed she could pick up. Ohh, too fast! Then without even thinking, she flew right through them, giving them warm little chills and grinned. Ohhh.
Fae watched the Aerandir all begin to play. At least now Pueblo was getting used to her new temporary form. "That'd be wonderful, Keilin," she replied about the flowers. "All I need is a little one." She pondered what type they could be, but she wouldn't ask to avoid being picky.
They continued talking and watching the Aerandir play before she caught note of Anakiro heading their way. He was strangley silent, but then again, he was pretty young compared to everyone in their female group. "Hey, Anakiro," she said cheerfuly and waved for him. "How're- ohh." She suddenly saw a little mouse-bird nestled in his neck. It was pretty obvious to see. "Is that...Tsukai?! It seems everyone's jars have broken now." New Aerandir were always so interesting to see. Aly always ame up with the most curious combinations, but they always worked out. She eyed the little ren-rat with a distant smile- at least now Pueblo wouldn't try and hunt him.

Yakobi & Taranis
The bulky Aerandir let out a peep of surprise as Pueblo's hand seemed to go though him. It never hurt, but it was...Strange. Was something wrong with her? "Peep?" he spoke his little paws pushing around the dirt. He lowered his long poited beak to the ground pushing around small pebbles that lay upon the path.
His head quickly turned around as the small gryphon poked his head into his fur. "Peep peep!" he shouted nipping gently at the other as a warning to move his head. He wasn't used to others being so close to him like that. "Peep PEEP!" heshouted once more, backing up slightly.
"Must be very confusing for them as a wisp." the girl spoke as she watched Pueblo. "I might be able to help you get a ribbon," she paused "I should have one at home. Her pink hair blew back in the slight amount of wind, she knew she had a ribbon somewhere at home. And it wasn't as if she was using it, and she wanted to help in Fae and Pueblo in anyway she could.
The girl turned to Keilin "A quetxal..." she repeated. Ah yes those birds the the extremly long tails. "They are very pretty." she uttered, quickly turning her gaze over to Taranis. "Taranis be nice." she said, disapointed about how he was acting suddenly.

Keilin & Chata
Chata blinked twice and jumped back, surprised at Taranis's n** and Pueblo's passing through him. He recoiled, sinking low to the ground... oh, the ground seemed such a nice soft today. Chata pushed his head against the ground beneath him, wondering if he could make a depression in it. His claws dug in beneath him as his head started inching slowly into the dirt.
Keilin heard the approach of someone unfamiliar... a male! She turned her head towards him, wondering what Fae was talking about. He must also have a newly emerged gryphon. She simply waved to him and continued to Fae, "About the flowers, yes - there's a lot Roladex brought over. Any kinds of colors or type you'd like specifically? I haven't much experience in the flora and flowering field... I can consult with a flower book I may have at home, though, to see if I have whatever you need." She half-smiled and wondered if she sounded too desperate in wanting to help Fae, though she would do anything for anyone to help if someone needed any help from her at all.
"Thank you," she replied to Yakobi, "I should research some more on quetzals, though. I don't think I've done enough." She looked at the white and black form of Taranis and smiled, "Oh, that's okay... when Chata first emerged, he was quite nervous as well. It's a whole new world for them, after all."

Kiro & Tsukai
Kiro grinned at Fae's reaction to seeing Tsukai. Tsu, on the other hand, just huddled into Kiro's neck a little tighter his little claws scratching his guardian lightly.
Tilting his head a little in a psuedo-hug for the mouse-like creature, Kiro raised a finger to stroke him lightly. "Hey Fae, where's Pue..."
That was what the wisp caught his attention. Despite the fact there had been two wisps so far, Pueblo was the first Kiro had actually seen. "Wow... is this Pueblo?" He grinned. "She's beautiful..."
Then, suddenly, Tsukai decided that he'd prefer to be on the ground. Leaping suddenly from Kiro's shoulder the small creature fluttered his wings busily, landing on the ground with as heavy a thump that a large mouse could really make. Starting forward, Kiro lunged to catch him, but upon seeing his safe landing, the neko-jin's attention was drawn to a green leaf that was sitting inconspicously on the ground, half buried in sand. Where it came from eluded the boy, it being all alone, but he picked it up and dusted it off curiously.
Tsukai, meanwhile, was ready to interact. Gleefully he sprang forward a few yards towards an already disgruntled Taranis, ignoring the fact he was really too small to play with the larger Aerandir properly, letting off a "chirp!" as he did so.

Fae & Pueblo
Fae nodded at Yakobi. "Yes, Pueblo is still getting used to the idea- but I can't wait until she's a child," she grinned. "Ohh, if you have a ribbon, that'd be great. Any color, really, would do. Or anything you think that might look good on Abby here," she smiled.
Fae looked back towards Keilin as she kept a watchful eye on the Aerandir every once in awhile. "I don't really know any flowers...maybe something exotic and matching? Whatever you think that'd look good on her," she nodded and smiled politely. Really, she was in a daze from all this activity.
Fae glanced back towards Kiro, then stepped to the side for introductions. "Anakiro, this is Keilin and Chata," she referred to the girl with the green and gold gryphon. "And Yakobi and Taranis," she guestered to the girl with bright pink hair and pudggy polarbear-penguin. She grinned as equally much when he noticed Pueblo. "Yes...that's Abby alright. She turned wisp two days ago." She showed the paint brush to him that she held onto. "This is her bonding artifact and now we're scavenging for items I need. See, you may know this already from my writings, but I have to collect those quest items. I need left is plain metal neckchain, plain metal ankle braclet, a small leaf, and some beads."
Pueblo giggled slightly as the confused gryphons jumped about. But what's this? A new mouse-looking one! Floating over to the jittery creature, she held her hand out as a sort of trick. Maybe he would try to jump onto her hand...hehe. Her bottom portion flickered and twirled below her, suspending her in mid air in an almost teasing way to the other gryphons.
Hearing a digging sound, she blinked and looked down to Chata. "Er, Keilin, is Chata trying to dig hisway to China or something..? What's he doing?" She asked a bit worried. She'd never seen a cat dig anything unless it was a litter box.
Fae looked back towards Keilin as she kept a watchful eye on the Aerandir every once in awhile. "I don't really know any flowers...maybe something exotic and matching? Whatever you think that'd look good on her," she nodded and smiled politely. Really, she was in a daze from all this activity.
Fae glanced back towards Kiro, then stepped to the side for introductions. "Anakiro, this is Keilin and Chata," she referred to the girl with the green and gold gryphon. "And Yakobi and Taranis," she guestered to the girl with bright pink hair and pudggy polarbear-penguin. She grinned as equally much when he noticed Pueblo. "Yes...that's Abby alright. She turned wisp two days ago." She showed the paint brush to him that she held onto. "This is her bonding artifact and now we're scavenging for items I need. See, you may know this already from my writings, but I have to collect those quest items. I need left is plain metal neckchain, plain metal ankle braclet, a small leaf, and some beads."

Keilin & Chata
Shrugging, Keilin said, "I'm not a good matcher, especially with colors such as Pueblo's, but I'll do my best!" An laughed encouragingly, turning her head to Chata below who was digging up the ground with... his head?
Chata jumped up and piped up loudly, frightened by the loud thump he heard, especially since his head was somewhat in the ground. He froze. Another gryphon? Chata suddenly forgot all about his little hole and ran around in a circle; running through people's legs and then, finally, approached close to the wren-rat gryphon. He crouched down a little so their heads were almost level, and studied him for a while, unsure of how to play with such a small Aerandir.
"Dig his way to China... ha! Silly little thing, Chata. He's so inquisitive about everything around him - he's still at that stage of exploring and experimenting, I guess," Keilin said, lightly laughing at the China statement. "But, Fae, you have so many items to collect... ever think about how those items would fit onto Pueblo's child form?"

Kiro & Tsukai
Kiro stood, brushing off the leaf a little more, nodding to both girls with a polite smile as he was introduced. He then heard Fae reciting the list of things she'd need before blinking and glancing at what he held in his hand.
He held it out. "A leaf? Will this one do?"
Tsukai stopped on his way towards Taranis, Chata's sudden movement catching his attention. He paused as he watched the bright green creature running about before it finally came to a stop and began to study him. Pulling himself onto his large hindfeet, his forefeet dangling in front of him, Tsukai studied him back, his head tilting a few times as he did so. Then, with an enthusiastic spring, the small Aerandir launched himself onto Chata's head!
It would be a comfortable place to sit, if he wasn't shaken off first.

Fae & Pueblo
Fae glanced at Keilin, then at Pueblo in thought. "Well, Foenix had quite a few things she needed herself when Nehanda was a wisp," she spoke as if they had already met her. "And now she's a child and looks incredibly adorable. So I trust that they'll fit evenly," she nodded as she agreed to herself.
As Kiro presented the leaf to her, Fae blinked a few times before she took it. "Er, I think so. I guess it can be anything, I'm trusting, or else I would have been informed. Yes, thank you for the leaf, Anakiro." Haha, that was easy. ^^; She took the rather simple leaf from him but apprciated it anyway. "Abby, honey, look! Our first item that we can mark off the list," she said, waving the leaf a little in the air.
As Tsukai refused her hand, Pueblo frowned jealously. She wanted to interact, too! Without the vocals of an irriate animal anymore, however, she dashed through the little mouse quickly and flew back to her mother to inspect the leaf. She cocked her head to the side, then grinned. Reaching out to "poke" the leaf, her eyes flickered up to Kiro and stopped. Hey,she remembered him, too. He's the one with the fun tail!! Grinning, she flew up to him and gave a little wave in greeting. Then, she would move behind him to look at his tail. Aww...she couldn't touch it. Rrr! So, at a rather wrong angle, she stared at his backside.

Keilin & Chata
Keilin nodded and pondered what Chata would be like if he were to turn into a kid, and what sort of things she might need to collect for him. A flush of worry went through her; what if the items she needed couldn't be found anywhere at all? She looked down at Chata then, savoring all she could for now, of his gryphon form. She laughed out loud when the wren-rat jumped on his head.
"Oh, yes. Nice to meet you, Anakiro," Keilin said, offering a hand. She bowed down slightly in a polite greeting, eyes still concentrated on his Aerandir. "And Tsukai... what kind of Aerandir is he? So small and cute!"
Chata's eyes opened wide as he hesitated, surprised that the small Aerandir would jump on top of his head. He chirped jovially; almost like a laugh, while his tail stretched out, heading for the unsuspecting form of Tsukai. He aimed with his tail for Tsukai's belly, attempting to tickle the little thing, wondering what his reaction would be.
"Oh, yes," Keilin continued to Fae. "I was wondering - where'd you get the nickname Abby for Pueblo?" she asked, hoping if what she thought had been correct and Abby was actually Pueblo when Fae referred to her as that. "I'm sorry, I'm just curious," she looked away, wondering if she had asked a personal question that she wasn't supposed to or not.

Kiro & Tsukai
Tsukai shuddered with a surprised "cheep!!" as Abby passed through him, turning his bird-like head quickly towards her. That was strange... he hadn't liked that too much...
But then Chata was trying to get him with the tail. Gah! Tsukai's response to that was to clumbsily try and grab the tail with his front paws and cling to it, trying not to let it go. Tail wrestling!!
Kiro smiled as Fae took the leaf from him. Granted, it wasn't significant, but if it helped her quest then he was glad he'd found it.
He then nodded to Keilin, nodding a return greeting with a bow of his head, then raising his gaze and brushing some hair from his eyes. "Tsukai's a Kangaroo Rat, Sedge Wren," he supplied. "He's small... I'm hoping he's not going to get lost or anything." As he spoke he turned to look at the small Aerandir, worrying about how rough and tumble he already seemed to be. That might not be good for such a small soul...
Grinning he watched Pueblo's reaction to recognising him. "Hey there Bobo," he murmured with a grin, playing on the nearly "bo" in Pueblo. "Aren't you the pretty little lady? You've grown a little since I saw you last, huh?" He returned the wave with a smile, turning as she flew around to stare at his... butt!? Then, with another private smile to himself, he realised she was looking at his tail and wiggled it at her with a grin.

Fae & Pueblo
Fae twirled the leaf around between her fingers in thought and the paint brush in her other hand. Well, that was one thing they had, now just about half a dozen left to go. She already knew that Keilin would get her a flower, so she looked back up to Keilin right as she was asked a question. "Oh," she blinked. "Well, Pueblo's a hard nick-sort-of-name, hehe," she paused, finding that wording funny. "I got Ab ((aye-b)) from Pueb, but I couldn't just call her something that'd remind me of some president with a tall top hat," she smiled. "So, I guess Abby formed from there." Grinning, she waved the paint brush to motion for the wisp to come over.
"Oh, about the flower, you can drop it off any time at my place. It's just right over there next to the sea," she pointed off in the distance. "I'll be there for most of the day. So come by anytime you want. For now, I think Pueblo and I will be going home to look for a neckchain of some sort." As she said this, Pueblo flew over slowly and waved to Keilin. "We hope to see you soon. See you guys later! And thanks again for the leaf, Kiro," she said, throwing in a nickname quickly. "Yakobi, if you have that ribbon, feel free to drop it off at my place too. See ya!" Fae gave a final wave asPueblo immitated her andwaved as well. Pueblo gave a bright smile before the two traveled back home.

Keilin & Chata
"Good luck to you, then, Anakiro," she said, amused by his Aerandir's antics on top of Chata. "A rat... and you're part cat? How.. how does that match up?" she asked out loud; though she could have sworn she had said that in her mind, and only to herself.
Chata hopped forwards quickly, balancing the little Aerandir on his head whilst doing so. The tail tried to swish left and right, but Tsukai's small grip held it still in place. Chata hopped forwards again in slight frustration, turning his head sideways to try and get a better look at that Tsukai was up to on top of him.
"Haha, I guess we can make a nickname out of anything," Keilin said, somewhat lost in thought. "Don't think I can make one out of Chata though - unless it could be something like Cha? That'd sound silly, though. But alright, Fae - good luck on finding that neckchain! I'll come over as soon as I find that flower, unless I find it like, say at two in the morning... well, I'll drop by at a convenient time. Hope to talk to you then!" she waved back to Fae as she saw Fae make her way to her and Pueblo's home.
She then turned to Anakiro. "You going back home anytime soon as well, Kiro?" she asked, using the nickname Fae had given. "Or you, Yakobi?" she said, facing Yakobi who had seemed mostly quiet recently.

Kiro & Tsukai
Kiro smiled as Fae thanked him and nodded as she made her way away from them. He then turned to Keilin. "Well, we're still working on that bit," he admitted. "It's not seemed to be a problem so far though. The whole cat and mouse thing. Tsu doesn't seem to care." He paused as she asked if they were going soon. "It has been cool meeting you two, but I think we do need to go too. We're supposed to be exploring." He nodded to them both with a smile. "It was good to meet you both though." He then turned to Tsukai, wondering if the creature would come if he was told to. "Come on Tsu. We've got places to go."
Tsukai was having fun wrestling with Chata's tail. But, what? The boy was going? He couldn't let him leave him like this!! He'd be lost!! With a disturbed peep the mouse-like Aerandir bounced after Kiro, fluttering clumbsily high enough that Kiro could scoop him out of the air and then bounding back up to the boy's shoulder and nuzzling in at his neck.
"Peep!"
Waving goodbye, Kiro and Tsukai wandered away to explore more of the island.

Keilin & Chata
"Have fun while exploring, Kiro, hope to meet you again sometime!" she chimed as she saw Kiro make his way off somewhere.
Chata shook his body and ruffled his feathers as Tsukai got off of him. Ah, felt a little more comfortable now with all that weight taken off. He then hopped up to Keilin; but not before he playfully nudged Taranis's round body with his head that still had some specks of dirt on it. He pounced up to her arm, wings opened; and wavered in the air before he flapped them twice, positioning himself onto her shoulder. His tail twitched, and then moved back and forth in a good-bye wave.
"I guess I'll go explore, too. I need some more fresh air before I return home," Keilin announced. "See you all later!" she said, getting up from her kneeling position and brushing off her bottom and legs. She waved to Yakobi and wandered off in the opposite direction of Anakiro, Chata looking behind her until the others had faded away from sight.

Yakobi & Taranis
The bulcky Aerandir let out a sneeze and shook his head, feathers puffing up. His large paws pressed against the dirt causing small peices to build up upon his thick fur. "Peep!" he called out to his care taker, his blood red eyes gazing up at her.
The girl waved bye towards the three as they left, finally turning her gaze down to Taranis. "What say we go look for that ribbon to give to Fae and Pueblo?" she asked him. She quickly bent down and stroked her Aerandir upon the head, wondering if he was getting too hot since he wasn't mixed with any tropical animals. "And after we find the ribbon and drop it off we can go swiming." She laughed quietly as he had peeped tilting his head. Of course he had just come out, he couldn't know what swiming was just yet. "You'll like swiming." she said with a nod as she reached over and picked up her little Taranis. "Time to head home." she spoke her voice soft. The pink haired girl turned around, heading off towards their home.
