Okay, so they couldn't sense each other, but really, it was an possibility. She watched as Aiden spotted footprints and followed him. She noticed that there was another set, bigger ones. They seemed calm in stride, as the smaller ones looked frantic and sparatic in movement. She turned a corner to see a white bag of some sort. "Hey... I found something." she said as she picked up the bag and looked inside. "There's a pen and a cross necklace in here." she announced as she noticed a small trail of blood leading off. "I think we've found a trail to follow."

"Th-those are Mira's!" Aiden hobbled over to look at what Andy had found. "S-she wouldn't just leave this... He must've taken her somewhere." He looked about, hoping to find something else. "The blood goes back that way, though..."

Andy pondered on the situation a bit. This was strange. Could Rasiel really have done this? She sighed, really hoping that it wasn't him. It was the last thing she wanted to explain to Aiden.
Oh yeah, by the way, I think my big brother attacked and kidnapped your sister. Sooo sooorry~.
That simply wouldn't cut it, and definitely wouldn't make him feel any better about the situation. "Well, let's follow the trail then.." she suggested as she took his hand to help lead him and smiled. "So... my name is Andy." she introduced herself, realizing they didn't know each others names yet. She was trying to carry on a light conversation to try to ease the mood a little.

Aiden hobbled back the way they came, keeping his gaze on the trail. "Oh... My name is Aiden." He took her hand with a small, twitchy smile. He wasn't as shy as his sister was when it came to people, but he wasn't exactly social, either. "Thank you, by the way..."

"Don't you worry! I'll protect you from that mean old red-eyed guy!" she exclaimed with a big smile. "And we'll find your sister! I'm sure she's okay..." '..i hope..' Andy tried to be optimistic in the situation and then began to hum as she walked. She began to sing a little song, hope it would make things feel a little better. They followed the trail out and toward the dormitory

"He was really strong, are you sure...?" Aiden frowned, still uncertain about Andy's determination. "I hope she is... I don't know what I'll do if she isn't..." Aiden sniffled a little, finding the talk of his sister more upsetting than anything else.
[To the dorms?]

[MANY MONTHS LATER............]
Adessi's father Eno had to come to the school to do something with one of her brothers, something private, so she had opted to wander around and get a better idea of the school. The classrooms were mostly empty and boring, so eventually she wound up at the hedge maze.
She stood at the entrance, looking up at the 15ft walls of greenery. It seemed sort of intimidating, but at the same time, interesting. She looked around, not really seeing anyone else nearby... would it be safe to go in alone? What if she got lost? She folded her arms across her chest, staring thoughtfully into the maze.

At that very moment, deep within the center of the sprawling, twisted labyrinth, Sharma had found himself completely and hopelessly lost. Somehow, when he went into the maze, he had the idea in his head that he'd be able to simply go back out the way he came. However, he soon realized that doing so would be quite impossible as he had allowed his mind to wander rather than paying attention to which turns he had taken. Not that he could help it, you see. Sharma's mind was made to wander. Daydreaming was all he knew.
Sharma glanced absentmindedly at the numerous pathways which surrounded him; he had no idea which path was the one he had come from. A mellow smile drifted across his face as he shrugged, plopping down upon the dew soaked grass. He felt no need to worry- after all, someone was bound to come through here eventually, weren't they? In the meantime, he decided, he might as well make use of the peace and quiet.
He lifted his flute, clutched forgotten in his hands, up to his lips and began to blow. Soon, sweet, sorrowful tune began to drift out all across the maze, echoing all the way to its entrance.

Adessi's thought process was interrupted by the sound of a flute playing... from inside the maze?
She looked around once more before taking a few hesitant steps into the maze... yes, it was definitely coming from inside it. With one last look outside to check if anyone else was there, she sighed and started further in.
With much wandering she eventually grew closer to the sound, but still couldn't see where it was coming from. But it had to be nearby... She continued to the end of her current passage and then stopped at a fork. Well, maybe if she called out to whoever was playing the flute, they'd respond.
"Hello?"
That... might have been too quiet.

Sharma stopped playing abruptly. Was that a voice he just heard? He looked left and right but he couldn't see anyone around- but, then again, he was, he remembered, in the middle of a rather large hedge maze. They might be hiding somewhere behind a wall, or, perhaps, just as lost as he was. He chuckled inwardly at the irony of the situation; here he is waiting for someone to come find him and whoever comes needs help just as much as he does.
Well, he thought, there's only one way to find out. Lowering his flute, he called out into the maze. "'Ello? Is 'ere somebody out there?"

Oh! A grin came to her face, good, someone had heard. "I am!" She called back. Though... she still didn't know where the voice was coming from... "Where are you?"

"Uuhhhmmmm...." She looked around, frowning. "I dunno, next to a fork!" She once again folded her arms across her chest, frowning a bit.

Sharma was barely stifling his laughter by this point. Standing up, he began moving through the clearing, poking his head out each of the entrances one by one to see if he could figure out where her voice was coming from. "Ooh, a fork, eh?" He called out, still moving from entryway to entryway. "D'you see any spoons? If there's spoons, we could 'ave pudding! D'you want any pudding?"

Adessi blinked a few times, and then grumbled to herself about stupid jokes, this was not a funny situation. "No because this is a hedge maze and forks are just where you get to go two different places!" She sighed aloud and stated down one of the options, since he seemed to be louder from that direction.
