Victoria headed back inside too. She looked worried when she found that the sage boy she treated earlier, that the nomad Sue rescued... wasn't in the place she left him. She begun to look for him, wondering if he were insane enough to go outside. Hopefully not.
"Mage boy, wait, I don't know your name but listen don't go outsi-" she stopped when she saw the Older Soren devouring some of the rations in FEFGA's house. It was understandable, he was out a whole day. It made her sigh with relief, for reasons she couldn't understand.
It was almost as if Victoria were attached to this group of people called FEF, and that she were a part of them...
But it couldn't be so. Getting attached to a group eventually led to loss and sadness. She learned that the hard way. Victoria had sworn she'd help the world if it needed it, but never attach herself to an Order again simply because everything fell apart eventually. She didn't want to see it happen again like it did for her in Bern, the wyvern riders striking down everyone who tried to escape, the flames that swallowed her home church whole... all of it, vivid memories, and if only she weren't attached, she wouldn't have cared at all. Some of the others were like that.
"They're stronger than I'll ever be." she thought.
{I'll be back later... Muaahahahah!}

Nometal went back to his area where he was alone, only to try and get all of this together, and figure out a reason why anyone would do this around the time of happiness.

Ed's ears had perked at the sound of someone sneaking through the door. Her tail wagged when she realized it was the older Soren, seeming to have recuperated from his shock earlier. Ed snickered a wolf's snicker under her breath when she glanced the sleeping younger Soren in the corner, the older one slipping into the kitchen.
Ed dogged the older one's footsteps and sat at his heels. She glanced in Victoria's general direction with a rather oblivious grin.

For a while, Sue was stuck in her dreams, but then her eyes were slowly opening up back to reality. She shivered when she felt the floor beneath her.. it was so cold.
Of all places to pass out, it had to be the one without the fireplace.
The nomad sat up, rubbing her head. She was surprised no one found her, but maybe it was better. No one needed to be worried. "Hm... I wonder... what everyone else is up to." She yawned. It was almost like she just got some much needed sleep, after all, somehow, her injuries were gone. "Someone healed me... I wonder who. They didn't even stay."
She got up on her feet now, wondering around, trying to find someone, anyone.

(( Uhm, I hate to correct you, Finn, but Alihi's hair is brown.
I was just too lazy to log off my main account to do her posts separately... n_n;;
Sorry for that confusion! ))
There was a smile of relief on Alihi's face when the knight returned. She could finally relax and let her own thoughts come in, instead of thoughts of concern for the knight and the prince.
And, oh man, did the thoughts come fast.
She looked around, figuring out mentally who hadn't arrived yet. A frown came to her face when she realized that two of them were Aidan and Rie.
A bigger frown came when she realized Abel wasn't there.
"Okay, deep breaths, no need to get hysterical..." She thought to herself.
Still, she felt herself drawn to the window, staring helplessly at the storm outside.

"Whoever this is better have a good reason for this. We have done nothing to these people, and they attack us. Or at least from what i see is how this is going."
Nometal decided that he would worry about this later, and went off to the kitchen to go get some food.

Melethia opened the door. Her human skin is all gone and her black dragon skin is showing. Her body was hot to the touch. but she gave a warm feeling to those around her. She then saw the half frozen cat laguz known as Masanori. Melethia picked him up and took him to her room to help him warm up.

Traversing through the tough terrain Guy spots the Fefga hangout and tries to make his way towards it. Instead he trips down the hill towards the house and smacks face first right into the wall. With a large lump on his forehead he recovered himself and took his shaking arm and opened the door quickly and entered and shut it. Removing his mittens he looked around to see who was inside. He saw a lot of people had made it. So he took a couple steps and sat by the fire and rested for a couple of minutes.

Ninian, who had followed Alihi to FEFGA's house, was relieved to see almost everyone safely inside, especially her brother. She didn't quite understand why everyone seemed to be freezing sue to the sudden temperature drop; it still wasn't cold enough for her to actually be cold, one of the perks of being half-Ice Dragon. However, those that were not here yet. . . .
Where could they be? I do hope that no one was caught up in that storm.
While Alihi had relaxed the moment Sir Finn had appeared, Ninian did not want to succumb to the hysteria that was threatening to overcome her. The little baby boy, who required such attention as babies will, was just enough of a distraction to keep her from panicking.

Nils looked over to Ninian. A smile appeared on his face, and he excused himself for a moment to walk over and give her a hug.
"I'm glad you're alright, Ninian..." He mumbled as he hugged his sister.

Tibarn came up soon enough in a fresh pair of jeans. He only owned about six shirts, since it was so rare for him to actually wear one. He certainly didn't keep any at Fefga's house, and so he continued to go shirtless and wore his heavy coat to keep his shoulders warm-- Ayra was right, he was hardy, but he was much more used to a southern semitropical climate in the islands of Phoenicis.
"Alright," he called, moving to take a seat in the comfy chair by the fire. "We need to take a headcount, see who's here. If there's anyone that might still be out there, we'll need to organize a search to find them before the blizzard or the mogalls get them. I expect each of you to make sure that everyone you saw out there is in here now. If you can't find someone, come tell me."
He paused, looking up at those assembled around him. "... Come on, now!"

It was around that time when Soren had begun to stir. He was humming something in his slumber, something that resembled a wordless galdr a bit too much, and when Soren opened his eyes he had not ceased humming. It sounded as though his throat had cleared.
The mage turned his head here and there to examine the room. It seemed that more people had arrived since he had dozed off. A quiet and unusually genuine smile spread across Soren's face. He brushed a bit of hair out of his eyes, greeting Blossom and Anna with that smile of his, and Soren tossed the blanket clean off of himself. He leapt to his feet with sudden vigor and stretched to loosen up a few joints.
"Hm, what's that? A headcount?" He turned to face the hawk king, still beaming somewhat. "Well, I have yet to see Roy arrive. I addressed him recently about the draperies that had changed around town. Surely he hasn't left the actual kingdom."
Despite this, his smile failed to falter. He stood tall like his ankle hadn't been nearly snapped in two by mauthe doogs. Soren's expression completely contradicted his usual demeanor and his bloodstained robes.

Alihi frowned. "I don't know if Aidan or his sister are here... Or Abel..." The tactician closed her eyes, trying to remember who else she saw at the lake.
"... I know there were a few more..." She muttered to herself, not recalling anyone else.

"Tibarn," Melethia said as she came back from her room. "I found this cat laguz on the ground. I took him to my room to help him warm up a bit. My room is a very warm one."

"General Roy... missing.." Sue could hardly believe it, her words stuttered not only from disbelief, but also from panic and anguish. "If they got him... oh..." she shut her eyes shaking the thoughts and many others, one including if something happened to Rath... if he never returned...
"Where are Valter and Heath... I've seen neither of them either, King Tibarn.." the nomad asked, shivering.
