Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nanami looked at Kai and shrugged. "Yes I did. I taught him a very valuable lesson." She said swishing her tail back and forth. She hated it when people judged her by her size. So when Kai mentioned that she was tougher than what he thought her eyes narrowed. "What? Did you make the same mistake as him...." She said pointing to Cheshire, "And judge my strength on my size?! Perhaps I need to teach you the lesson I taught him." Her fur was nearly standing on edge as she worked herself up over such a little thing. She shook her head still angry as she looked at Atreyu. "Well just hurry up and leave. I need to finish off my rounds here." She said looking over at Cheshire as he growled at her, "And you! If I catch you here again I'll whip you even worse than this time!"

Instantly regretting his words at the threat in Nanami's voice, Kai jumped back and hid behind Garaden like the true coward he was.
"Nah man, I think I'm good. I uh... don't hit girls." He called to her as his excuse. A sudden idea struck and he then peered out and gestured to Garaden. "But I think Garaden could use a little beating if you ask me." He offered, nudging his friend and laughing with him at Ivan's suggestion for a leash for Stripes. Hearing his name, he turned to Journey and tilted his head. When she beckoned for him, he moved towards her and sat down beside her and pawed at her.
"What is it Journey?" He asked, not entirely sure why she had called him over.

Atreyu had already moved away from the others at Ivan's suggestion and nodded his head. He was concentrating on his ability and blocked out their chattering. Pawing at the ground, he could feel the vine growing and he grabbed a hold of it the moment it burst from the ground. Yanking it free from the ground, he trotted back over to Tsubasa and wrapped it around his neck. Carrying the free end away from the gray wolf, he set it down and looked at the others.
"Now, who wants to do the honors of dragging this one back?" He chuckled. His eyes went instantly to Cheshire when Ivan mentioned him and he stared at his green friend for a moment before shaking his head. "No, this one is coming back to town with us. He cannot be trusted though, even if we did let him walk around these woods she," He paused and gestured to Nanami. "Would more than likely give him another good beating. A leash for him will be perfect. Balto, can you come and help me tie this around him so we can get back to the house?"
He moved away from Tsubasa and pulled another vine from the ground and gestured for Balto to take the other end so they could tie it around Cheshire's neck.

Tsubasa chuckled when Garaden was scolded and he flicked his tail.
"You're a very good instigator you know; probably one of the best." He said to him sarcastically before looking back over to Journey and raising a brow at her. "Ah, a feisty girl?"
He eyed her carefully, trying to get a glimpse of his necklace and sighed when the pink idiot he used to speak with from his pack moved in his way. Sighing, he looked at the 'leash' that had been tied around his neck and he looked to the other knights.
"So, whose taking me for a walk today?" He asked leisurely.

One thing was certainly for sure, he wasn't going to step a paw in this side of the woods again though, he smirked slightly. The thought of playing a future trick on Nanami did sound quite pleasing. He would have to wait but he was certainly going to pay her back one day.
He nodded his assent to her request but silently was making plans on revenge. He should have been thinking about ways to get away from the knights but he gave up that fight long ago. They'd catch him anyway.

Nanami shook her head and rolled her eyes at Kai. Uh huh sure. That was some excuse he was giving. She glanced over at Cheshire and caught him smirking. She'd have to watch out for him. He looks like he might be planning something in the future. She then turned her attention to Garaden. "I can't leave until I make sure that those guys...." She jabbed a paw at the two troublemakers, "leave. Not that I don't trust you but I'd rather make sure than to just leave."

Glancing back at Garaden, the pink male let out a bark of laughter and glanced at Ivan, the always so serious one.
"Yeah, you're right. Maybe we should get her to go after Ivan for us." He suggested, laughing to himself before returning his attention to Journey and nodding. "Yeah, I can do that."
Leaning down, he began to sniff at the jewel and pushed away Journey's scent for the time being. When he had previously sniffed at the jewel, he had recognized the scent somewhat to one from his own pack and now that he knew it was Tsubasa who had dropped it, there was no second guessing it now. Tsubasa's scent was very strong from the jewel. "Heh, without a doubt, this matches with that little bugger over there."

With Balto's help, Atreyu finished tying the vine around Cheshire's neck and he held out the vine to Balto.
"If you don't mind, you can drag this one back to the house and make sure he doesn't get away." Atreyu gave him a confident smirk and nodded. "I'm sure he won't be of too much trouble to you."
Turning away from Balto and Cheshire, he made his way back to the others and looked down at Tsubasa and laughing at Ivan's comment.
"Yeah, that is true. Well, you're off the hook this time. Garaden, would you like to do the honor of dragging him back?"

Tsubasa stared expectantly at Journey as she began to whisper to the pink mutt from his own pack and tapped his tail impatiently as he awaited her response. His ears did flick at Atreyu's suggestion and he glanced at Garaden and barked at him.

Allowing the leash to be tied around him, he sighed and shook his head and looked at Balto and Naito.
"Wonderful.." He groaned with a smile before looking at Nanami. "I'll see you later kid!"

Nanami shook her head at Garaden and Kai. She then stared at Cheshire with a frown. "I hope I don't see you again. Next time I'll get my dad or my brother and they'll won't be quite as nice as I was when we fought." She said turning to the knights, "Good bye." She stopped when she saw Ivan freak out. "What's his problem?" She muttered as she turned towards the woods.

"Oh you lazy girl, get up. We have to get moving back to the house and have a large celebration for a job well done." Kai bopped Journey on the head and laughed. "Plus, I'm sure the ground has to be pretty damn cold and we're going to leave you in these creepy woods and that tough little chick with the key sword thingie ma jig might come back and beat you up. It's not like we're going to rush back anyways to the house. I'm sure we'll take are good ol'-"
Ivan's shout cut him off and he watched as Ivan took off in the direction of home followed closely by
"I guess we are in a hurry to back to the sitting room. I wonder what happened...." Kai frowned and pressed his ears against his head as he stared after the two before looking down at Journey again and took a few steps after them but deciding to make sure the others got a move on before he pursued after them.

Atreyu watched the others beginning to pull of who they were assigned to and nodded. Everything was in order and they had saved the house a ton of hassle. He made a note to go and find Annabel Lee and tell her that the wolves who dyed her had been caught and as he turned to Ivan to ask if he would accompany him to go speak with the female, he noticed that his friend was unusually rigid and he knew something was wrong.
"Ivan.... what is it?" He watched him carefully, trying to figure out what was going on in his mind when he suddenly shouted that they needed to get moving. Without questioning Ivan's judgment, only trusting his best friend, Atreyu raced after him; eager to find out what exactly was going on and why he was acting like this.
Please, he thought, Let it not be anything bad.

Tsubasa sighed and stretched out as Garaden began to drag him back to the house. Well, getting caught certainly had its perks and he didn't have to walk all the way back to the house because the squirt was dragging him but it meant that he now had to beg his human in giving him a bath because his silver coat was bound to be covered in dirt, leaves and mud. This was certainly the last time he was going to go along with Cheshire.
"I think you all cured me of my obsession with starting trouble..." He grumbled to Garaden. "I don't particularly like the bath I'm going to have to take after all of this."

Cheshire: *allows himself to be dragged back after the others*

(@Seiphira: post in the sitting room next just make sure you mention that you had Balto leave Cheshire in the kitchen and that goes for Corny too then since Garaden has Tsubasa. You can post in the kitchen if you want but you don't have to.)

Atreyu -- Sitting Room after Ivan
Tsubasa, Cheshire -- to the kitchen
Kai -- ((will leave after the others are gone from here... in other words his entrance in the sitting room will not be delayed by a post or so ))
