Seph nodded. "I'll take point." He hopped on one foot to prepare himself for a sprint, then took off, forward.

"Unless there's a wind, aye...or if she closes her eyes..."
He gave Iri a small smile and started out slowly for the forest. He paused for a moment, creating a clone to go back into the hot springs before Fen noticed and continue to make sure she got cleaned up. He always had to keep an eye on her...
He turned his head slightly toward Reeve and smiled.
"Think of it as a family, Reeve. All for one, and one for all. Aye? Now, let's start moving."

Iri takes off in the direction that Reeve indicated. As she flies, she gives them all a mental warning. "I don't know about her flying in a straight line. It's hard enough to keep the wind from knocking you off course in a healthy state. If she's weak, she probably swerved like a drunk man."

~Good point, Iri...~
As he takes off in the same direction, but apart from Seph, he sends a mental note out on a more general channel. ~ As the distance grows, send out clones or use Byakugan if you can...there's a greater chance of departure from the path we think she took further out.~
(( What sucks about this is, we have to wait on Aven to see if we find anything...))

Seph comes to a skidding halt, using a few handseals. "Byakougan." The veins around his eyes bulged, pumping with a mixture that was more chakra than blood. His pupils faded to a milky white, and the area around him suddenly became clear.
((Then I believe I'm going to sack out, if you guys don't mind! ))

((Same.))
Setting out two clones to help spread the distance, Tutsumi continues the run after Aven. The thought of him being right still lingered in his mind a little, creating an unsettling feeling.

(( Yeah, but at least there's a little more activity in the guild now, eh? ^.^ Be optimistic! Goodnight, boys! ))
Iri scans the scenery below her as best she can in the light of the moon and stars. What she's looking for is mainly broken tree branches or flattened plants in meadows. Seeing a trail from this height would be impossible for her. Also, she keeps an occasional eye out for anything in the air. It's possible that Aven is still flying within seeing distance of the dojo, and Iri is flying as fast as she can while scouting for evidence of a wounded flyer.

Reeve uses chakra to propel himself perhaps a dozen feet off the ground. Not as high as Iri, perhaps, but the birds-eye view should help. If anything, it helps him get a little more effect out of the lightning-flare he throws up to light the way.

The cat appears from a shadow near Reeve and lands on his shoulder. He meows softly and jumps off and toward the dojo.

Reeve breaks off his course and follows the cat.
"Hey! Come back here. If there's -ever- been a time we needed you, it's now!"

The cat meows loudly and continues to run toward the dojo.

~Guys, I think we should return home. At least, that's what I think this cat is telling me...~
"I know you can understand me, and I know you can reply," Reeve says irritably as he follows the cat.

The cat continued to race toward the dojo, moving through shadows to keep himself far enough ahead to lessen his chances of capture.
~Tutsumi, tell that fox to pay more attention. I was with Aven when she wrote the note. She's bringing the beast back to the dojo after it's healed. Why he's chasing someone who knows how to hide her trail, I'll never know. Silly fox.~

"You're thinking," Reeve says, "That I'm trying to find Aven so I can find Sarya. Surely you see all the blood? What if the tengu is hurt? I'm thinking, why haven't I punted you yet?"

A sharp turn of her body and Iri is flying back in the direction of the dojo. She shakes her head to get stray locks of hair out of her face. The sudden change in direction only slows her down for a second or two, then she's going full speed toward home.
"Fly this way, fly that way--And what cat are you talking about? I don't see a--Oh. Where'd that little guy come from?"
Iri manages to catch a glimpse of a black blur going from one shadow to the other. At least, it looks like a blur to someone at her height. And it looks like Reeve's trying to catch it. So what does Iri do? She tries to help.
As soon as Iri finds herself in the right position in relativity to the feline, she stuffs her closed tessen down the front of her dress and goes into a very swift dive. She stretches out her arms and opens her hands as she narrows the gap between herself and the blur of black and says in her sweetest pet-talk voice, "Heeeere kitty, kitty, kitty! I gots some tuna for ya!"
That last part is a lie, but she's known cats that perk their ears at the sound of the word "tuna".
