Ed nodded at Al. He was alittle upset Al (his *younger* brother) had thought up a better plan in the short time, but who was he to argue at a time like this. He could pick on Al later. Shooting Al a rather evil grin he took hold of his net, watching the vixies seem to swirl and dance above their heads. Would they come closer?
The vixies had let out a strange sound and started to dive closer. "What in the world were they up to?" Hoping Al would follow his lead or just pick up that it was time to cast the nets, Edward tossed his own net into the air, holding his breath and readied just in case this didn't work.

-Alphonse-
The strange noise alerted his attention back above them. He heard the sound of his brother tossing his net. No! Not close enough! The vixies only flew a couple inches up to avoid the net.
In a panicked half second, Alphonse glanced around, seeing a tree just five feet behind him, he decided to use someof the training Imee had instilled into them. He needed Edward's aim now.
"Ed, Catch!" In one fluid motion, he flung his net for Ed to catch, then in flipped around and took a couple bounds towards the tree, then planted a foot a few feet up from the ground. Using momentum and the solidity of the trunk, propelled himself up a little higher, and thrust his spear in an arc'd downward movement at the vixies, causing the windforce to send the little suckers spiraling downward as they tried to find steadied air currents..

If it hadn't been for Al throwing him the net, Ed would have thought his brother had turned tail and ran. Something he would have rather been doing than having Al heard Vixies straight for him!
Edward tried his luck, like he had much at this point and aimed the net beween the space above the vixies and under Al. He couldn't watch he looked away as the net flew.

Alphonse barely snagged his spear out of the way of the net... His brother's aim had been just right. Unfortunately, Alphonse was now on a crash course right on top of the netted vixes. He flailed through the air, spinning his tail like crazy trying to change the course of his fall. He landed mostly away from the net, landing hard on his cut hand, which had soaked through it's makeshift bandage, and both his knees.... one of which squished a vixie.
"eww..." the purple squish under him left him feeling quite nausious, but they had won a small victory... minus the one he'd squished... there were 5 vixies furiously chittering at him. He knew they would be cursing if he could understand them.
"...cage." was all he could mutter out, while trying not to puke at the thought of the gorey mess he had under one knee. He was amazed they'd both managed to survived this whole experience... with their prize! though now he was questioning if he wanted one.

Wanting to help Al more than taking care of the vixies, but grumbling he did so shoving three in Al's cage and two in his own.
"Come on Al let's get you cleaned up there's a lake up ahead." trying to advoid getting anything on himself he drags the cages and the netting down to the lakeside.
"How hurt are you anyways?..no better yet, I'm looking you over. So strip."

-Alphonse-
It took all of what ws left of Alphonse' willpower to not puke when he stood up to go to the lake. Vixies were little, but man did they leave a mess. Though, his brother's last comment made him stumble.
"...I.. I'm not that hurt! I can clean myself up!" He turned a bit crimson at the suggestion, and strode off to the lake not waiting for Ed. Honestly! It's not like he was a child anymore. Suggesting such things with reckless abandonment would give people... ideas.

"Fine then you clean up and I'll... well" eyes the dead vixie. "Maybe see if there's something to eat around here before we head back. Unless you think a swim would be nice." Pawing at the water.

-Alphonse-
Alphonse started to strip off his coat, wondering exactly what Edward planned to eat out here... then decided he's rather not know. He certainly didn't have the iron stomach that his brother had.
"I'll be quick... 'cause we should head back before it gets dark..." he unwrapped his hand. The wound was definitely aggitated, but most of the bleeding had subsided. He used a clean handkerchief dipped in the lake to start cleaning off some of the blood around the wound... at least it was a clean slice. He was glad he'd taken the time to sharpen both of their spears regularily. Letting out a bit of a sigh, he rinsed of the cloth which had been made into a makeshift bandage and re-wrapped it about his hand. He'd get a proper bandage later.
a little ways down the lake he caught sight of a couple little spots of bright like, which he immediately recognized as vixies... Knowing they were a bit too far away to be of harm, his eyes wandered a little more...
"Hey, Ed... Wasn't he at the tavern too?" pointing at the lyonell in a tree, "should we go help him?"

He leaned over and kissed the back of Al's hand. "For Mom" was all he said.
"Yeah I'm sure I saw that guy before. You think those vixies have him pinned up a tree?" he sighed. "I'm not sure I want to go pick another fight with vixies, well not before eatting." idea strikes. "I bet he has food."
"Well he's not moving from that spot for a bit anyways.." strips down to his shorts and takes a swim to relax alittle. "Ack! Its Cold!!!"

"Are you sure...? Well, I guess I should finish cleaning up anyways." Alphonse usually listened to his brother, except when his brother was being stubborn. He smiled at his hand for a second, happy his brother remembered what their mom always did for injuries. Then he shucked off his pants, and began trying to scrub out the awful purple mess.

[Setara]
Setara had walked a little way from the clearing afore realising that something was wrong. She dumped the tattered knapsack on the floor & searched it frantically, the cage dropping to the floor with a hollow clatter. Her precious sketchbook!!!! She must have dropped it!! She searched her beaten knapsack once more to be sure. No, it was gone.
"I must have dropped it!" She exclaimed aloud, forgetting herself in her moment of panic. She shouldered her knapsack after stuffing the contents back inside & hoisting the cage back under her arm. She hoped to the heavens that the Lyonell had not come upon it. That maybe it had fallen at the wooded edge of the lake where it would not be found. She tore back through the brush towards the lake.

He rushed out of the lake. "Arggg that was cold!!" rushing past Al for his own clothes probably spraying his brother with water. That hadn't quite been what he wanted instead of relaxed he was wired to get moving.
"Cleaned up yet?" he asks washing the nets in the lake, now almost gagging himself. "Its getting late and I don't know about you but I'm looking forward to a bed tonight."
"Then there's that matter over there." pointing back to the vixies still seeming to be tormenting the one stuck in the tree.

-Setara-
The Vixies hovered and sat on a lone sketchbook that lay in the grass. They had seen the owner drop it, but were now having a bit of fun playing around it, stuffing grass in the pages, and just generally running a muck around it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Symph-
The vixies beneath Symph were getting terribly bored of the broken net... but really they were just there for a distraction. A couple more hovered right above Symph's position, contemplating dastardly things.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Alphonse-
He shook off some of the water that was splashed on him from his brother's haste. He slipped back on his pants and jacket, and gathered their items.
"I'm ready enough... it'll be easier to clean once..." Alphonse choked back what he was going to say. They didn't have a home to go back to anymore... so he lamely finished, "Once we find a place to stay tonight
"But what should we do about him?" Alphonse pointed at the other Lyonell who seemed to be rather glued to his position in the tree.

"That Lyonell? He rather looked like a push over to me... I guess we should help him out. I mean there's only two vixies over there and they are paying more attention to him." He whinced, he knew he'd just cleaned up, but he grabed a vixie out of the cage and rubbed it all over himself making faces while doing so. "There now I smell like a vixie....it should be easier to sneak up on them now, right?" holding it out as if he was going to do the same to Al.
"I'm soo going to want a hot bath after this. A bath and a bed...and food"
"Come on Al if we're doing this let's get it over with." takes off stalking towards the tress.

[Setara]
Setara managed to drag herself & the cage back to where the clearing lay in the forest, dropping it when her eyes caught site of her beloved little book lying on the grass. She let out a squeak of dismay. She thought better than to waltz right over into the midst of the creatures.
"oh gods above...." She sueaked, coming out of the clearings edge, watching them all the while. That book was her most prized posession!
She winced as she watched them cavort around it & stuff grass into its pages.
"The Cage!!!" She thought to herself. If she could get her book & place it in the cage, she could carry it back without it getting lost again! Who cared if her knapsack went missing! She wanted her sketchbook.
Carefully bringing the cage out to the edge of the clearing & setting it down she watched the vixies a while longer, wincing as one left a pawprint on its intricately embellished cover.
"I spent a whole day on that front cover..." Setara thought to herself sulkily. She figured the vixies would be angry & so would have to work quickly.Picking her moment, she sprinted forward, grabbing up the book & dashing back to the cage with it, placing it inside.
