Welcome to Gaia! ::

Blossom squatted down in front of Amara, smiling warmly. She had always liked little kids; they were fun, they had such simple problems. Sometimes, you could get a bad mood over with pretty easily by talking to a young child. When their biggest problem was "I skinned my knee and lost a copper coin in the sandbox" and treated like a travesty, then your own somehow didn't feel as monumental.

"Of course we can take her with us, Ganon!" Blossom chirped. "We're heading to Fefga's house. Do you know where that is? It's the biiiiig house further into town." Blossom hefted Amara up, holding her securely in her arms. She smiled, kissing Amara's forehead. "And you're in Eyris. Don't worry, we'll find Alihi and everything'll be okay."

[[...Too lazy again *FAIL*]]

"Well I won't intrude on your plan. I'll just head for FEFGA, and see how I will be useful there. You two don't need someone who won't be able to keep up. Dang it I needd to find myself a new horse." Walking off for FEFGA.

(Wow. Right when I see your post, my brother makes me get off. Just my luck. So that means no long post today.)

"Alright, let's do it," Valter replied, even more energetic than before.

When Ed jumped onto Kain, however, the wyvern began squirming with uneasiness. He was smart enough to recognize Ed as an ally, but he was still uncomfortable with anyone riding him but Valter. When the Wyvern Knight hopped onto Kain's back, however, the wyvern calmed down and took off, recognizing the urgency of the moment.

Ganon laughed as things began to pick up again, and soon enough all four of them were back out in the open, heading toward the gates of town in the direction of Fefga's house. The reptile quickly jogged ahead and out into the field, and by the time the other three got to the gates he had harnessed his ox and pulled his cart to the road.

"Blossom, Amara, come on!" he called, shifting aside to give them room on the driver's seat with him. As they arrived, he reached down to pick up first Amara, then Blossom herself and sat them both down as he picked the reins back up. "Sue, can you lead the way? I have no idea where we're going," he chuckled, snapping the reins once and settling in line behind Sue. After a moment, he offered Blossom the reins and picked up his guitar. "I always play on the road. Best time to make up songs," he added as he plucked out a few notes.

...Dang it I need to remember the path back to FEFGA's. I may have gotten myself lost...wait is that Sue and Ganon over there?
Dashing over to where Nometal thought he saw Sue, he then chuckled at something. "I do believe my name now is better...Ender wasn't so good, and it really doesn't fit here."

Blossom smiled and tried to help Ganon get Amara up into the cart, then crawl up with his help onto the seat. She sat quietly for a few moments, placing the Aegis sword Ed had lent her back where Amara couldn't reach it, but where it wouldn't fall out, and then the reins landed in her hands. "I always play on the road. Best time to make up songs."

"Oh!" Blossom chirped. "Of course! I can do this!" Blossom held the reins tight, making sure to keep the exact amount of slack she had been given, and watched the ox closely. Amara seemed curious by the guitar, and Blossom smiled. She decided Ganon should explain; it wasn't her instrument, after all. She didn't know how to play three coherent notes, much less the tunes he was able to pull out in minutes.

"You must be real good with this sort of thing if you can be on the road and still guide your ox," Blossom commented, smiling. "Especially since you don't look to have more than two arms." she paused, turned her gaze to Ganon, as if to scout for a third arm sprouting from between his shoulderblades. When she found nothing resembling a third arm, she looked back ahead, smiling again. "Yeah. You're really good at that music thing."

{Horse thief! >D}

Sue's gaze shifted to Ganon when he spoke to her, and she answered accordingly. "I can certainly lead the way. This was on our merchant's trade route, and I'm often his escort..." she remembered the once timid, but now rigid and strict Merlinus, who had served as General Roy's advisor. She prayed Mother Earth kept him and the supplies safe.

Ed leaned into the rush of air, soaking in the exhilaration of being so far from the earth, up in the clouds on a pair of dexterous and powerful wings. But although she was filled with a feeling of limitless freedom, she was strangely quiet...

Ed had her eyes closed, staying close to the wyvern. She felt the sting of the air sliding over her skin but she envisioned something a little different than the scenario she was actually in. Ed imagined her whole body covered in dark and coarse feathers, her limbs stretched into the wingspan of a hawk, her face tapering into the vicious beak of an eagle, her feet twisted into the talons of a raptor. She imagined the air whipping across her skin was shooting through her imaginary feathers, and she tried to imagine the movement of her muscles as she flapped her imaginary wings, tried to imagine how the organs inside moved with those muscles, how they cooperated with the ribcage and the limbs...

For a long time she had been a wolf and a girl. She missed being a bird... She wanted to try it again.

But Ed opened her eyes and remembered she was on a wyvern with Valter. Her natural weapons, like her nails and teeth, were very weak. She had to depend on her muscles, her flexibility, her agility, and her boots.

"...See anything?" she called.
