Chata blinked twice and jumped back, surprised at Taranis's n** and Pueblo's passing through him. He recoiled, sinking low to the ground... oh, the ground seemed such a nice soft today. Chata pushed his head against the ground beneath him, wondering if he could make a depression in it. His claws dug in beneath him as his head started inching slowly into the dirt.
Keilin heard the approach of someone unfamiliar... a male! She turned her head towards him, wondering what Fae was talking about. He must also have a newly emerged gryphon. She simply waved to him and continued to Fae, "About the flowers, yes - there's a lot Roladex brought over. Any kinds of colors or type you'd like specifically? I haven't much experience in the flora and flowering field... I can consult with a flower book I may have at home, though, to see if I have whatever you need." She half-smiled and wondered if she sounded too desperate in wanting to help Fae, though she would do anything for anyone to help if someone needed any help from her at all.
"Thank you," she replied to Yakobi, "I should research some more on quetzals, though. I don't think I've done enough." She looked at the white and black form of Taranis and smiled, "Oh, that's okay... when Chata first emerged, he was quite nervous as well. It's a whole new world for them, after all."

Kiro grinned at Fae's reaction to seeing Tsukai. Tsu, on the other hand, just huddled into Kiro's neck a little tighter his little claws scratching his guardian lightly.
Tilting his head a little in a psuedo-hug for the mouse-like creature, Kiro raised a finger to stroke him lightly. "Hey Fae, where's Pue..."
That was what the wisp caught his attention. Despite the fact there had been two wisps so far, Pueblo was the first Kiro had actually seen. "Wow... is this Pueblo?" He grinned. "She's beautiful..."
Then, suddenly, Tsukai decided that he'd prefer to be on the ground. Leaping suddenly from Kiro's shoulder the small creature fluttered his wings busily, landing on the ground with as heavy a thump that a large mouse could really make. Starting forward, Kiro lunged to catch him, but upon seeing his safe landing, the neko-jin's attention was drawn to a green leaf that was sitting inconspicously on the ground, half buried in sand. Where it came from eluded the boy, it being all alone, but he picked it up and dusted it off curiously.
Tsukai, meanwhile, was ready to interact. Gleefully he sprang forward a few yards towards an already disgruntled Taranis, ignoring the fact he was really too small to play with the larger Aerandir properly, letting off a "chirp!" as he did so.

Fae nodded at Yakobi. "Yes, Pueblo is still getting used to the idea- but I can't wait until she's a child," she grinned. "Ohh, if you have a ribbon, that'd be great. Any color, really, would do. Or anything you think that might look good on Abby here," she smiled.
Fae looked back towards Keilin as she kept a watchful eye on the Aerandir every once in awhile. "I don't really know any flowers...maybe something exotic and matching? Whatever you think that'd look good on her," she nodded and smiled politely. Really, she was in a daze from all this activity.
Fae glanced back towards Kiro, then stepped to the side for introductions. "Anakiro, this is Keilin and Chata," she referred to the girl with the green and gold gryphon. "And Yakobi and Taranis," she guestered to the girl with bright pink hair and pudggy polarbear-penguin. She grinned as equally much when he noticed Pueblo. "Yes...that's Abby alright. She turned wisp two days ago." She showed the paint brush to him that she held onto. "This is her bonding artifact and now we're scavenging for items I need. See, you may know this already from my writings, but I have to collect those quest items. I need left is plain metal neckchain, plain metal ankle braclet, a small leaf, and some beads."
Pueblo giggled slightly as the confused gryphons jumped about. But what's this? A new mouse-looking one! Floating over to the jittery creature, she held her hand out as a sort of trick. Maybe he would try to jump onto her hand...hehe. Her bottom portion flickered and twirled below her, suspending her in mid air in an almost teasing way to the other gryphons.
Hearing a digging sound, she blinked and looked down to Chata. "Er, Keilin, is Chata trying to dig hisway to China or something..? What's he doing?" She asked a bit worried. She'd never seen a cat dig anything unless it was a litter box. o.O

Shrugging, Keilin said, "I'm not a good matcher, especially with colors such as Pueblo's, but I'll do my best!" An laughed encouragingly, turning her head to Chata below who was digging up the ground with... his head?
Chata jumped up and piped up loudly, frightened by the loud thump he heard, especially since his head was somewhat in the ground. He froze. Another gryphon? Chata suddenly forgot all about his little hole and ran around in a circle; running through people's legs and then, finally, approached close to the wren-rat gryphon. He crouched down a little so their heads were almost level, and studied him for a while, unsure of how to play with such a small Aerandir.
"Dig his way to China... ha! Silly little thing, Chata. He's so inquisitive about everything around him - he's still at that stage of exploring and experimenting, I guess," Keilin said, lightly laughing at the China statement. "But, Fae, you have so many items to collect... ever think about how those items would fit onto Pueblo's child form?"

Kiro stood, brushing off the leaf a little more, nodding to both girls with a polite smile as he was introduced. He then heard Fae reciting the list of things she'd need before blinking and glancing at what he held in his hand. He held it out. "A leaf? Will this one do?"  Tsukai stopped on his way towards Taranis, Chata's sudden movement catching his attention. He paused as he watched the bright green creature running about before it finally came to a stop and began to study him. Pulling himself onto his large hindfeet, his forefeet dangling in front of him, Tsukai studied him back, his head tilting a few times as he did so. Then, with an enthusiastic spring, the small Aerandir launched himself onto Chata's head! It would be a comfortable place to sit, if he wasn't shaken off first.

Fae glanced at Keilin, then at Pueblo in thought. "Well, Foenix had quite a few things she needed herself when Nehanda was a wisp," she spoke as if they had already met her. "And now she's a child and looks incredibly adorable. So I trust that they'll fit evenly," she nodded as she agreed to herself.
As Kiro presented the leaf to her, Fae blinked a few times before she took it. "Er, I think so. I guess it can be anything, I'm trusting, or else I would have been informed. Yes, thank you for the leaf, Anakiro." Haha, that was easy. ^^; She took the rather simple leaf from him but apprciated it anyway. "Abby, honey, look! Our first item that we can mark off the list," she said, waving the leaf a little in the air.
As Tsukai refused her hand, Pueblo frowned jealously. She wanted to interact, too! Without the vocals of an irriate animal anymore, however, she dashed through the little mouse quickly and flew back to her mother to inspect the leaf. She cocked her head to the side, then grinned. Reaching out to "poke" the leaf, her eyes flickered up to Kiro and stopped. Hey,she remembered him, too. He's the one with the fun tail!! Grinning, she flew up to him and gave a little wave in greeting. Then, she would move behind him to look at his tail. Aww...she couldn't touch it. Rrr! So, at a rather wrong angle, she stared at his backside.

Keilin nodded and pondered what Chata would be like if he were to turn into a kid, and what sort of things she might need to collect for him. A flush of worry went through her; what if the items she needed couldn't be found anywhere at all? She looked down at Chata then, savoring all she could for now, of his gryphon form. She laughed out loud when the wren-rat jumped on his head.
"Oh, yes. Nice to meet you, Anakiro," Keilin said, offering a hand. She bowed down slightly in a polite greeting, eyes still concentrated on his Aerandir. "And Tsukai... what kind of Aerandir is he? So small and cute!"
Chata's eyes opened wide as he hesitated, surprised that the small Aerandir would jump on top of his head. He chirped jovially; almost like a laugh, while his tail stretched out, heading for the unsuspecting form of Tsukai. He aimed with his tail for Tsukai's belly, attempting to tickle the little thing, wondering what his reaction would be.
"Oh, yes," Keilin continued to Fae. "I was wondering - where'd you get the nickname Abby for Pueblo?" she asked, hoping if what she thought had been correct and Abby was actually Pueblo when Fae referred to her as that. "I'm sorry, I'm just curious," she looked away, wondering if she had asked a personal question that she wasn't supposed to or not.

Tsukai shuddered with a surprised "cheep!!" as Abby passed through him, turning his bird-like head quickly towards her. That was strange... he hadn't liked that too much...
But then Chata was trying to get him with the tail. Gah! Tsukai's response to that was to clumbsily try and grab the tail with his front paws and cling to it, trying not to let it go. Tail wrestling!!
Kiro smiled as Fae took the leaf from him. Granted, it wasn't significant, but if it helped her quest then he was glad he'd found it.
He then nodded to Keilin, nodding a return greeting with a bow of his head, then raising his gaze and brushing some hair from his eyes. "Tsukai's a Kangaroo Rat, Sedge Wren," he supplied. "He's small... I'm hoping he's not going to get lost or anything." As he spoke he turned to look at the small Aerandir, worrying about how rough and tumble he already seemed to be. That might not be good for such a small soul...
Grinning he watched Pueblo's reaction to recognising him. "Hey there Bobo," he murmured with a grin, playing on the nearly "bo" in Pueblo. "Aren't you the pretty little lady? You've grown a little since I saw you last, huh?" He returned the wave with a smile, turning as she flew around to stare at his... butt!? Then, with another private smile to himself, he realised she was looking at his tail and wiggled it at her with a grin.

Fae twirled the leaf around between her fingers in thought and the paint brush in her other hand. Well, that was one thing they had, now just about half a dozen left to go. She already knew that Keilin would get her a flower, so she looked back up to Keilin right as she was asked a question. "Oh," she blinked. "Well, Pueblo's a hard nick-sort-of-name, hehe," she paused, finding that wording funny. "I got Ab ((aye-b)) from Pueb, but I couldn't just call her something that'd remind me of some president with a tall top hat," she smiled. "So, I guess Abby formed from there." Grinning, she waved the paint brush to motion for the wisp to come over.
"Oh, about the flower, you can drop it off any time at my place. It's just right over there next to the sea," she pointed off in the distance. "I'll be there for most of the day. So come by anytime you want. For now, I think Pueblo and I will be going home to look for a neckchain of some sort." As she said this, Pueblo flew over slowly and waved to Keilin. "We hope to see you soon. See you guys later! And thanks again for the leaf, Kiro," she said, throwing in a nickname quickly. "Yakobi, if you have that ribbon, feel free to drop it off at my place too. See ya!" Fae gave a final wave asPueblo immitated her andwaved as well. Pueblo gave a bright smile before the two traveled back home.
((XDD Bobo the butt starer!))

"Good luck to you, then, Anakiro," she said, amused by his Aerandir's antics on top of Chata. "A rat... and you're part cat? How.. how does that match up?" she asked out loud; though she could have sworn she had said that in her mind, and only to herself.
Chata hopped forwards quickly, balancing the little Aerandir on his head whilst doing so. The tail tried to swish left and right, but Tsukai's small grip held it still in place. Chata hopped forwards again in slight frustration, turning his head sideways to try and get a better look at that Tsukai was up to on top of him.
"Haha, I guess we can make a nickname out of anything," Keilin said, somewhat lost in thought. "Don't think I can make one out of Chata though - unless it could be something like Cha? That'd sound silly, though. But alright, Fae - good luck on finding that neckchain! I'll come over as soon as I find that flower, unless I find it like, say at two in the morning... well, I'll drop by at a convenient time. Hope to talk to you then!" she waved back to Fae as she saw Fae make her way to her and Pueblo's home.
She then turned to Anakiro. "You going back home anytime soon as well, Kiro?" she asked, using the nickname Fae had given. "Or you, Yakobi?" she said, facing Yakobi who had seemed mostly quiet recently.

Kiro smiled as Fae thanked him and nodded as she made her way away from them. He then turned to Keilin. "Well, we're still working on that bit," he admitted. "It's not seemed to be a problem so far though. The whole cat and mouse thing. Tsu doesn't seem to care." He paused as she asked if they were going soon. "It has been cool meeting you two, but I think we do need to go too. We're supposed to be exploring." He nodded to them both with a smile. "It was good to meet you both though." He then turned to Tsukai, wondering if the creature would come if he was told to. "Come on Tsu. We've got places to go."
Tsukai was having fun wrestling with Chata's tail. But, what? The boy was going? He couldn't let him leave him like this!! He'd be lost!! With a disturbed peep the mouse-like Aerandir bounced after Kiro, fluttering clumbsily high enough that Kiro could scoop him out of the air and then bounding back up to the boy's shoulder and nuzzling in at his neck.
"Peep!"
Waving goodbye, Kiro and Tsukai wandered away to explore more of the island.

"Have fun while exploring, Kiro, hope to meet you again sometime!" she chimed as she saw Kiro make his way off somewhere.
Chata shook his body and ruffled his feathers as Tsukai got off of him. Ah, felt a little more comfortable now with all that weight taken off. He then hopped up to Keilin; but not before he playfully nudged Taranis's round body with his head that still had some specks of dirt on it. He pounced up to her arm, wings opened; and wavered in the air before he flapped them twice, positioning himself onto her shoulder. His tail twitched, and then moved back and forth in a good-bye wave.
"I guess I'll go explore, too. I need some more fresh air before I return home," Keilin announced. "See you all later!" she said, getting up from her kneeling position and brushing off her bottom and legs. She waved to Yakobi and wandered off in the opposite direction of Anakiro, Chata looking behind her until the others had faded away from sight.

The bulcky Aerandir let out a sneeze and shook his head, feathers puffing up. His large paws pressed against the dirt causing small peices to build up upon his thick fur. "Peep!" he called out to his care taker, his blood red eyes gazing up at her.
The girl waved bye towards the three as they left, finally turning her gaze down to Taranis. "What say we go look for that ribbon to give to Fae and Pueblo?" she asked him. She quickly bent down and stroked her Aerandir upon the head, wondering if he was getting too hot since he wasn't mixed with any tropical animals. "And after we find the ribbon and drop it off we can go swiming." She laughed quietly as he had peeped tilting his head. Of course he had just come out, he couldn't know what swiming was just yet. "You'll like swiming." she said with a nod as she reached over and picked up her little Taranis. "Time to head home." she spoke her voice soft. The pink haired girl turned around, heading off towards their home.

A small orange and white gryphon suddenly barrelled out of one of the houses, taking off like a shot down the path. On reaching the larger connecting path, the Aerandir spun around, sending a cloud of dust billowing. Osusuki was very glad to be going out - it was way more fun than being in the house. Impatiently, he trumpeted for Ieyasu, waiting for his guardian to catch up. Come on, come on, let's be going somewhere!!
Shaking his head with mild amusement, Ieyasu turned to shut the door to the house. He then headed off down the path after the excitable Aerandir. Perhaps they could go to the beach today - they hadn't been walking along there for a few days. Turning down the path, he headed away from the village centre, instead making his way towards the nearest beach on the island.
Osu trumpeted cheerfully, racing past Ieyasu. He knew where they were going now! The sandy beach wasn't far away, and it was fun to dig holes there, and splash about in the water that moved. Prancing onto the yellow sand, the little gryphon kicked up a spray of sand. The beach was hot on his paws, so he skipped down to where the tide was ebbing against the shore, leaving a trail of little pawprints.
Ieyasu allowed Osu to head off at his own pace. The gryphon never really went *too* far - he just moved about rather quickly. Stepping onto the beach, he watched as the Aerandir splashed about in the warm water. Grinning abruptly, he decided to join the little one. Slipping off his sandals and leaving them on the sand, he padded down the beach to the tide, the sand squishing between his toes.

Orian was strolling along the path on the island, wistling to himself, just lost in thought, wearing a pair of black jean shorts, and a short sleaved dark blue silk shirt, left unbuttoned. His hair had grown a bit, and he had it tied back in a pony tail to keep it from his face.
