Welcome to Gaia! ::

((I'm sorry that I don't get on that often))
Karin seemed worried about Schwarz. He doesn't seem to like to be ignored. She is also curious of Oro. What ever is in the bag seems very important. Karin couldn't see Schwarz or the bag so she just sat there, guessing.

((Edit: Sorry I didn't see your post there, Azura))

(O-oh my! Im sorry... >-< )

(I guess just up to where Sheena said "going where?" makes sense.. ._. Sorry about that.)

((Sorry. sweatdrop I've been feeling kind of out of it lately so it takes a while for me to come up with something. lol ))

Azriel perked up and began to feel a little restless upon Oro's arrival, more specifically because of what he had in hand, but that was more Oscuro than her.

"Gehahah. When they go 'hunting', it must mean dredging up more crystals that have souls hidden away in them. Go on and have a look, Azriel..."

She stepped over eagerly near Schwarz and crouched down to have a closer look at the bag of gems herself, filling one hand with the ones that had rolled out. After a few seconds of examining them, she said, "...Oh. These are all Exspheres. As far as I believe, there would never really be any truly evil souls among them. They were all victimized, helpless innocents..."

"Rats. That means no snack here." She snapped her fingers in disappointment.

Azriel neatly placed the Exspheres she was holding back in the bag and stood back up to hand it over to Schwarz. She then turned in the direction of his brother and asked, "Were they all in the forest, Oro? If so, I wonder why there would Exspheres would be dumped all over here... But this can be investigated after we capture this thief."

"Thanks," Schwarz took the bag and tied it around his waist, He smiled and looked at Cinkel with a smile, "knock it off, I'm older than you Cinkel, So be nice to your elders."
"Hmph, you could have fooled me, you dolt." Oro smirked at his brother's last remark, "You act more like a child then anyone else here."
"Umm ok... Ouch, that was a low blow bro." He then proceeded to stick out his tongue out at his brother, "Nnnaan!"
"Thanks for proving my point." He looked away from his brother and towards Azriel. At Cain's comment he thought it might had been easier to just bring out the wolf ears and tail, and be a small group of traveling entertainers, they definitely had enough strange members to make it work. But he quickly dismissed the idea before he could actually say anything though.
"Alright, let's head to Meltokio!!." Schwarz jumped in head first into the brush. Oro sighed and simply followed him at a leisurely pace.

Azriel answered Cain, "That was the first thing I tried. But I found them to be too long to keep down..." She lowered her wings as he suggested, to demonstrate for a second that their ends touched the ground and dragged behind her as she walked on. "...see? So I just scrapped that idea and went with passing them off as a costume accessory." She began to fish around in her pack, looking for that old cloak she tried that with as the group went along. "I guess the idea's worth another shot...I just have to think of something else..."

As Azriel continued fishing around in her pack, she heard Sheena. She became a little confused as to why she brought up such words, as it seemed kind of out of the blue to her. The subject of politics and the tension between Sylvarant and Tethe'alla hadn't exactly been brought up... As she glanced over at Sheena for a moment, she noticed she was still looking as dazed and distracted as she had been lately. Perhaps that was it; perhaps the reports her scouts were bringing her were leaving her a little disturbed.

As an aside note, Azriel also began to wonder if she was the only Sylvaranti in the group now. "Well, as far as I know, each city has its own mayor ruling over them, and that's all. I'm not so keen on how politics in general works," she responded to Sheena, laughing a little.

Oro and Schwarz had reached Meltokio's front gates and had climbed up on top of a house roof by this point. Oro sat back and watched the people go by. Schwarz was standing, cupping his hands over his eyes to keep the glare of the sun off them, scanning the crowd for anyone with silver hair. Oro looked over his shoulder towards the forest trying to see if anyone had followed them. "Guess we went a bit too fast for anyone else to see us... Oh well their lose."

Schwarz mumbled something that Oro couldn't catch, and contiued to scan the crowed below. A moment of silence passed, "Found one!" Schwarz had found a male with silver hair similar to Cain's, walking through the market grounds. He sat down making sure he couldn't be seen on the roof and began to chant, "Oh wonderous wolf mother, grant me thy power to see one's thoughts, secrets and deepest desires, allowe me thy, Mind's Eye." An unseen force poured out of Schwarz and mad it's way unnoticeably towards the silver haired man and entered him.

Within the mind of the man, he materialized, quite taken back since he was inspecting some vegtables a moment ago. A growl came from behined, "You stole the king's jewel didn't you?"

The man turned around to see a silver wolf stalking the ground behined him, all he could answer in his state of fright was, "Wa... What are you talking about? What jewel?" the wolf turned away and disappeared into darkness. "Wait what are you were am I?" and with that the man was back in the market square inspecting the veggies he was before the incident, he did a quick double take of his surroundings, placed the vegtable back down and walked away, "I need some rest." he mumbled to himself as he walked away.

Back on the roof Schwarz had come out of a half dazed state and shook his head. "Was it him?" asked Oro curiously, wondering what exactly what his brother saw.

"No, it wasn't him," Schwarz stood up again and stared to scan the crowed, but man what a perv. You wouldn't belive what that guy was planning to do with that thing he had in his hands." Oro snorted. While Schwarz smirked, that he made his brother amused, and continued to scan for the next suspect.

((This is the ability that I thought could give Azriel a shock sweatdrop ))

Cinkel and Cain spoke at once, "There are always those that want more power." sweatdrop "Erm, yes. Anyway, Azriel. I think I have something that might be a bit more comfortable than that. Give me a second. We should hurry though, Schwarz and Oro must be in the city by now." Cinkel began digging through his bags.
