Welcome to Gaia! ::

Azriel looked startled for a second after what Oro had said. "Wh-what was that supposed to mean?" she asked, attempting to play dumb. In front of the others who didn't know, she and her otherselves still weren't ready to compromise their secret. They were that cautious...nay, paranoid because as Sheena put it, Azriel was still being hunted. Who was to say none of the others have the gall to turn her in?

"He probably has a good idea, somewhat...but I'm sure he doesn't know that we might know that he would know. Just keep on playing dumb."

Azriel made a slight nod and returned her stare to the fight between the Orion and Kruhk.

"All right, I haven't exactly nailed where the guy's at yet, but this much I know: he's controlling the beast from somewhere in the forest. I have the vaguest idea that he's testing us with it."

"Really now...if only we can gather a confirmation...hmm. Azriel, one of the brothers seems to have caught on to something about the beast. Perhaps you could ask him about it?"

Azriel nodded and remained in her place, seeing that Kruhk wanted to take on the beast on his own anyway. She looked over at Oro and began to question him again. "Excuse me...um, Oro, is it?" She had caught his name earlier. "It appears you understood the beast's intentions. Can you tell us what it wants?"

"Oh, hey, and Sheena's back...she's calling upon one of those Summon Spirits again..."

Chiaro's eyes widened. "As she's preparing to open the gate for it, I can feel this one in particular is very powerful..."

((I keep holding Azriel back because I take it there's supposed to be a series of one-on-one fights with the Orion. sweatdrop ))

((I'm sorry Zale. I didn't ignore what you did, it's just you didn't do anything that could catch the groups attention. Anyway, Shean is not here. I never said he appeared.))

When some bird flew in, Cain just shrugged and ignored it. He waved to Sheena as she appeared. "Welcome back, Sheena." When the beast attacked, Cain sensed its intentions as well it being manipulated by another force. "I'm going to scout around a bit. Sometimes it is easier to find someone with you eyes than it is with magic." He then jumped into the trees and disappeared.

((@Zale: Exactly what Natoe said. Going up to the characters out of the blue and saying "Hi there" just isn't going to cut it. You needed to spot opportunities in the situation that would give reason for the characters to meet.))

Azriel nodded throughout his explanation, a sign that she was listening attentively. "I see, I see...you must have a lot of experience working with animals to gather that much. Ah, and my name is Azriel Serafina," she answered back with a smile. She figured that what she had just said might have been a factor in how he understood that much from the beast, but also kept in mind that what Chiaro and Oscuro had been talking about might have something to do with it.

She then turned to where she heard Cain's voice to respond, but he was gone already.

Hearing that Cain was going to seek out the source of the Orion's controller, Oscuro gave up as well...just plain feeling lazy.

Cain appeared upside down in a tree overhead. He joked, "Oi, look. I found him." He flipped over and fell to the ground beside Magnus. "I'm Cain Yuzabiyashi." He tilted his head. "You have a strange air about you."

Schwarz had was now coming to his brother, "Oro, we might have a problem," he wispered the rest in his brothers ear.
"Are you sure about this?" He asked with a look of shock, Schwarz quickly nodded, "I see..." Oro stood up and looked at Magnus straight in the eye,"Magnus is it, you look as if you would fair well, in a fight. Especially someone as old as you." he hope saying that didn't offend Magnus.

"Just give it a moment, big guy." Cain patted Kruhk on the shoulder, or, at least, close to it.
