フェニックスの平静
  '....?! " It was quite the look for Phoenix, as she felt herself suddenly having a bad case of terrible balance! The first step she took to retreat, would have her looking like bird for sure, frantically swinging her arms as though they were magical wings to keep her steady, until her hand caught hold of hard steel and she was able to gain her balance better. What she would see under her feet, was a large wooden perch, and soon, she would start to realize that steel she had grabbed was the steel of long bars, all surrounding her in the form of a massive cage! "...Ehh? What the......?! " It really didn't take a lot of thought to pin point the one responsible here. "....VERY funny! Don't think i'm afraid to challenge you right now! You above all should know , i'm not one to follow the rules of this kingdom! " She certainly would! Meanwhile, Atthena was getting a good little giggle out of it. Only increasing the level of humiliation she was feeling! "Let. Me. Out! Now! " "He,he..You can let the little birdie go, I wouldn't want to force anyone to come along if they did not want to. I don't mind, it can be just us...or I can find go alone, it's really fine! " She said with a smile."I just thought , maybe a few of us could go spend some time at the springs. The water there is always so relaxing, for those who have never been to them, it might be very fun! " They weren't just typical waters, the water in this special spring was enhanced with healing properties that also relaxed the body, and calmed the mind. It also just felt really, really great to the skin!
"Heh, not exactly! I'm here to claim you, Mr! " She didn't exactly bite him, so he might realize that wasn't the type of claiming she was talking about! Oh, the fun of joking in Reaper terms. "Oh really? " She said, a grin beginning to form at her lips. "So I can just push you around huh, and make you do anything I want? This is very interesting. I'll definitely remember that.." Those words followed up with a playful wink as she looked back at him, all the while pulling him along as though he were her possession and no one else's! "He,he. Well, you won't have to worry then. I'll be sure to make sure you get to enjoy it often! " He may of just doomed himself by saying that!

 ___ ___  _________   ___ ___ "I know I must place my duty as a commander above my life as a man. And once I am crowned, I most certainly will do exactly that.
However, I am not ready to divorce myself from my compassion just yet. I will find the balance somehow, the means to save my country and her people.
That is the king I wish to become, and so that is the man I must be." "...I thought you already did." Ephraim responded in a somewhat playful manner. Hadn't they already claimed each other by now? Here he thought that happened when they got into a committed relationship. ...Finally. Everyone knew it was coming except them it seemed like. "Well, let's not get carried away..." As much as he enjoyed playing along, he didn't think he should set a precedent that she could order him around about everything! "If you push it too much, you'll be the one being pushed around." She might not find that idea terribly objectionable either, though. "Is that right?" He stopped her a moment, using their held hands to pull her closer and speak to her a little more intimately. "It sounds like you're getting carried away already. I might have to deal with that attitude sooner than I expected." He said, smiling at her in spite of his oh-so-foreboding words. Even if he wasn't being playful, it was nearly impossible to keep himself from smiling when he was looking at her, it felt. Quite the curse he had to bear."Where did you learn manners? Not even a single please? How about, please, Master Carmen? Yes, I think I like the sound of that. And the longer you resist, the more I'll make you beg!" She seemed to enjoy making these two siblings beg... "Oh I'll let her go, ONCE SHE BEGS!" She responded smugly to Athena, crossing her arms. "Now doesn't that idea sound fun, bird? Or would getting in the water cause you to die? With your little fire shtick, how much can you handle getting wet?" She probably already knew the answer. "Ah, that reminds me of when we met. Remember when I phased you into a frozen tidal wave? That was fun. Good times... I'm sure we'll all be telling that story to our kids someday. But maybe I'll leave that one out, if, heh, I start hearing some begging." Poor Phoenix, she was like a bird trapped in a cage... (( OOC: ))

"I'll claim you as much as I want to, you know! Claiming you is like the first time every time.." Alisa said with a silly grin."You like it, don't you? Of course, if you want me to pretend to be a evil Reaper and bite you, I can do that kind of claim too.." Now she was just playing, and joking, but then again, who knew?! She was a bit of a wild princess. "Ohhh, getting scared, are we? Heh,heh! You should of thought about this before you got stuck with me. " Her grin widened. "How do you expect me to stop myself from getting to carried away with you? " There was no hope for that! "Ohh, really now..Are you trying to tempt me? " Her grin turned into a sly smile. But that little smile returned to playful again in a matter of seconds, as he stopped her, and pulled her closer. "Oh...you know I am..How do you plan to deal with me, mmm? "
"I CAN melt this cage, you know. Then you will feel the heat next, fur-ball! " The irritation in her crimson eyes was getting stronger! "Dream on, i'll be out of here before that ever happens! You will never get me to beg! " As she said, the two of them might start to feel a hint of warm air around them, though it was mostly centered within the cage with Phoenix, it was clearly hot enough to feel, and that wasn't even really HOT yet! "Water has no affect on me in this form, it's ice I can't stand otherwise.. " Why did she even tell her that? She was just so annoyed, she wasn't really thinking straight! "...I still want to get back at you for that too.." She crossed her arms, looking suddenly a lot more silly then she realized. Balancing herself on a perch, cross armed...yep, that was the image of toughness for sure! "Release me, or are you to afraid to accept a challenge from me??? "

_____________________"I know I must place my duty as a commander above my life as a man. And once I am crowned, I most certainly will do exactly that.
However, I am not ready to divorce myself from my compassion just yet. I will find the balance somehow, the means to save my country and her people.
That is the king I wish to become, and so that is the man I must be."Ephraim chuckled, shaking his head. "Somehow I doubt I could stop you even if I wanted to." Knowing her, if she wanted to play the part of a Reaper, she was certainly going to. "I suppose it could be worse..." If he was going to be captured and claimed, it wouldn't be so bad if it was her. "Do I look like a man who scares easily, Alisa?" He asked in almost a challenging tone. "I'm more than capable of meeting any challenge you bring me. You know my motto by now." He didn't pick fights he couldn't win, and he had every intention of winning against her in every challenge she brought to him! Though perhaps, for once, he was being a little overconfident. She was no slouch herself, and if anyone could get an advantage over him easily, it was her. "Wouldn't you like to know..." He trailed off, bringing a hand to caress her face, before turning her face up to him, and leaning towards her for a kiss...
...But something caught his eye. "...Hold on..." He muttered to her, turning his head. "How many people do you have here that have round ears?" Very few, or so it seemed. And yet Ephraim noticed one he didn't recognize."You. Who are you?" One of the citizens asked once again, causing Reiner to chuckle nervously.
"I'm with the Avalanche group, that M- ahem, Princess Alisa let into the kingdom!" He said, suddenly regretting splitting momentarily from Minerva. She would've handled this quickly, and maybe made the citizen even regret asking!
"I don't recognize you...""Neither do I," Ephraim interjected, stepping forward and bringing Reiner's eyes to him, causing the latter to freeze for a second. "You aren't with us... but you do seem familiar. Who are you?""Liar." The citizen said, drawing their sword and pointing it at Reiner, causing several more to brandish weapons and point them at him.
"...Ah... this... isn't ideal..." Well, what was he supposed to say now? "...I'm... Princess Unisha's retainer?""...I don't think so." His brain was scrambling to make connections--something about this boy seemed very familiar, but he couldn't quite place it. Certainly, his hair color was very similar to his own, but he didn't think that's all it was... "Do you know this boy, Alisa? He seems familiar, but I can't place it.""Well then, what are you waiting for?" Carmen said, walking over and leaning against the bars with one arm, a smug expression on her face. And right when she started leaning against them, Phoenix would start to feel it was getting... colder. "It's cute you think I don't know that..." She said condescendingly, and Phoenix would really start to feel the cold coming on, as even the metallic cage around her was starting to ice up. On top of that, it was starting to snow within her cage! "This would make such a good snowglobe..." Her, immortalized in this cage, in the form of a decorative snowglobe, so she could always remember this moment. "Oh I'll release you... right when you come down here, get down on your knees, and beg me to. Come on, show me how a princess grovels to a commoner!" Her smug expression had turned into a full toothy smirk, her tail gently swaying slightly. She was clearly enjoying this--she really loved putting royals on their knees! As if that was any surprise, given how often Alisa was put on her knees for the dominant wolfgirl.(( OOC: ))

"Glad you agree. " It really was amazing how he had chosen Alisa as his life partner! Her playfulness was endless, as well as her teases! "Hmm, Maybe not with others, but with me...I think I can succeed in giving you a little scare! " Funny enough, despite her confidant words, she didn't really have anything to back that up with! For now, though, she would let that all slide, as the moment between them became a little softer, and she would finally fall into a pleasant silence in anticipation of what she was so obviously looking forward to. With his hand caressing her face gently, those pretty blue eyes closed as he began to lean towards her for that expected, wonderful kiss......
...........................
............................................................
................................... But it didn't come quite soon enough, and her eyes opened again with his following words, a slightly disappointed look on her face as she followed his own gaze, to fall upon the unfamiliar face of a teal-haired teenage boy. " I can't say I have ever seen him before.." She said, following Ephraim as they got closer to the mysterious boy. She seemed to be studying him herself, there was indeed something familiar about him, but...she never seen him here before. She didn't recall ever seeing him with Avalanche, either. "I have never seen you before, especially not around Princess Unisha...as far as I know, she does not have any retainers." Though, when the other citizens raised their weapons towards him, Alisa took a step towards him, raising her hands in a motion to order them down. "Let's not jump to the worst case senario here. Lower your weapons..."
But before those weapons had a chance to be lowered, the one closest to Reiner would suddenly burst into a brilliant explosion of pink sparkles! The others would begin to change into various objects, one even a muddy little ball of dirt, while another would turn into.........a snake! Reiner might like that one. Each weapon pointed at Reiner would change into some kind of object that was obviously unable to be used as a weapon at all! And, had they been paying any attention to their surroundings, they might here a faint hint of a truly evil little girls laughter, who was perched up in one of the tree's and just watching them from there! He did spend much of his time following her all over the place, and after catching his departure from Minerva and the others, she decided to sneakily follow him too. Good thing, too! As another unfamiliar face came to Reiner's side. Had Aiko not done what she did when she did it, there would have been a LOT of problems here, as she was about to show them her own weapon, and make them regret pointing theirs at Reiner..
"....Oh my god. You are getting really annoying! " To think, she was probably going to be her sister-in-law one day! What a show they would probably put on anytime they were in the same area together! ".....Do you want me to call Unisha? I'll enjoy watching her drag you away in vines! I'll do it, if you don't stop! " Why in the WORLD was her magic so powerful, the intensity of the heat around her was clearly being taken down by the sudden cold she was creating so effortlessly! Letting go of the icy bars of her new cage, she began to quickly cover herself with her arms, and it would be as clear as day just how sensitive to the cold she was. She. Hated. It! "Let me out, this isn't a joke! I will never stoop so low for anyone! " A little something Carmen might not of known, as how the cold greatly weakened her if in it for even a short while. It had quite a strange affect on the fiery princess, and was definitely not the best weakness to have against those who could manipulate weather!

Carmen "Why, do you want her to beg alongside you? Having two princesses on their knees begging does sound nice..." She smirked, looking like she was enjoying this more and more by the second. The more desperate Phoenix got, the more she was going to have fun! "Ohh, is that right? We'll see how long that resolve--" She paused, glancing away. "...What terrible timing." She gripped the bars with one hand, ripping a hole in the side of the birdcage, and the cold would quickly start to dissipate. "I'll have to break you another time, I'm afraid. Duty calls." She would've liked to have just left her here to see if she broke by the time she returned, but in the unlikely event a threat showed up, Phoenix being able to fight could mean the difference between Athena being hurt or not. And she didn't want to take any chances with her adorable elf companion.
A shift in the air preceded her arrival, and a second after Aiko's magic engulfed the citizenry there, they'd immediately return back to normal, the magic dispelled. Raising her arm, Carmen gestured, and Aiko would feel herself pulled telekinetically--very quickly--to her the wolfgirl, who didn't look very happy. "No manners, huh?" She placed a hand on top of Aiko's head, and Aiko would probably be horrified to feel all of her superhuman abilities, including her magic, drained away nearly instantly. "I guess I wasn't strict enough with you, young lady. We don't terrorize people in this kingdom with magic, you understand me?" She was so nonchalant about her children, despite the fact that everyone else was oblivious to the fact that the future children existed at all. Nothing really got past Carmen. If Aiko tried to run away, she'd find she was practically running on an invisible treadmill, unable to get any distance from her mother no matter how hard she tried to run. "You're lucky they see you're a child, and you're especially lucky Queen-""I do not tolerate misused magic in my kingdom." Well, never mind what Carmen was about to say. Nothing escaped the Raven Queen's attention within her kingdom, and here she was. "Being a child is hardly an excuse, but I will show you some leniency. Do not let it happen again.""You should thank her, child." Carmen said. "These people aren't target practice or cannon fodder for you to thoughtlessly abuse, Aiko. They're people just trying to live their life, and even if you understand Reiner isn't a threat, they do not. And no, what you did wasn't just a silly prank. You're making people suffer, whether you inflict physical pain on them or not. You're acting like a bully, and I don't imagine your parents raised you that way.""...Wait, how do you know my name?" Carmen just gave him a silent look. "...Right, haha... dumb question." What didn't she know? It was a wonder where Minerva got it from. "...Er... Well...""Ahem." Minerva cleared her throat in irritation, drawing everyone's attention to her perpetually disappointed expression. "This neanderthal is Reiner, my servant. I told him not to follow me here, but he's like a lost puppy when we're separated. And when he got here, I intentionally told him to stay by my side." She said, her tone and knifelike glare enough to bring just about anyone to their knees, and it was directed entirely at Reiner here. And for good reason! "I apologize on his behalf, he's an idiot. I will pay for any damages he's caused...""...Right! I'm sorry, Master. I became too curious about this kingdom. I just... think it's very pretty!""Be silent." Reiner bowed nervously.'..." Althesa had lived long enough to know when she was being lied to, yet she didn't sense any ill intent from either. "This girl has your trust?" She asked Ephraim and Alisa."Yes. She helped tremendously when Nyx attacked us. We owe her for that, if nothing else." They were all lucky enough Minerva had been around long enough to earn some kind of credibility within Avalanche, or things would've gotten more complicated!"...Very well. Your servant hasn't disturbed anything yet, so you will incur no fines. Keep it that way. And know I am watching.""Thank you, Your Majesty. I will not forget this graciousness." Minerva said with a polite bow. She knew well that Althesa saw through her lie--she doubted she convinced Ephraim, either--but at the very least they allowed it. "Come here, you!" She said quietly through gritted teeth, grabbing Reiner by the ear and dragging him away."Ah! Yes, Master! Sorry, Master! I-it was a pleasure to meet you all!!" Reiner shouted with a friendly wave as he was dragged in a very undignified manner away from the group by a very angry Minerva.(( OOC: ))

 "This world sure isn't all sunshine and rainbows, but there are people who have taught me to never give up.
They've been guiding me, and showing me all the beautiful things in the world.
I love them, and I love what they love.
We're connected by this sword. It will burn up the darkness, to make way for light!
This will be... our path...
BACK HOME!" Bronya silently left the palace in deep contemplation, her head hung as she found herself lost in thought as always. She would be broken out of those thoughts, however, as her attention was brought to the sky after hearing her name shouted... in a very familiar voice. "Bronya!" And there, floating, was... It had to be who she thought it was, yet she looked so different. "Bronya, I knew it was you!" Kiana's wings jettisoning power lowered her swiftly to the ground, and she couldn't help but smile at the first familiar face. ...Or... familiarish. "...Bronya?""...Kiana idiotka." Bronya responded, smiling as well in spite of her troubles."Heh, I knew it was you! But you look--" She glanced to the side, seeing a lot of people raising weapons towards her. "Ah, haha... you don't want to do that..." She muttered. "Sorry! I didn't mean to drop in uninvited, but-""Weapons down!" Althesa commanded, her voice authoritative yet a rare worry echoing within. This woman's power was... immense. Every Serenitian would be able to feel it from miles away, radiating around her like an invisible beacon. It was unlike anything she had ever felt. "Who are you?!" She demanded. For the first time in a long time, she knew if this woman wanted a fight, she could not defeat her. So she had to know if she was friend or foe."Sorry, Your Majesty. This is Kiana Kaslana, a good friend. I promise she is trustworthy. Still, she certainly could've gone through the gate like everyone else..." She said, shooting her a blank expression.'Eehheheh... Uh, sorry. I was just excited to feel your presence.""..." Althesa let out a heavy sigh, shaking her head. That was quite a concern. "At ease. I'm beginning to grow weary of having so many outsiders." She muttered. She didn't expect opening the kingdom to Alisa and her new love would result in ALL these people showing up."...Well, so, is... Mei-senpai around?" Kiana asked, glancing around. She knew the likelihood was slim--if she were, surely she would have felt her."Sorry, Kiana. It's only me.""Ah... not even Seele?""...No.""...Sorry." She could only imagine how much Bronya was missing her. "So, this whole world-cross thing has been going on for a while, huh? Almost a year from what I've heard. I just got here. How long have you been here?""...Six years.""What?! Okay, I guess I was misinformed...""No... you weren't." Bronya said grimly. "Bronya was brought to this kingdom long before this world began crossing with others. The Shadow Nexus brought me here. I don't know how.""Well, that raises more questions than it answers... that reminds me, you look different. ...Smaller.""...Smaller... how?" Bronya asked with a flat expression."...Uh... Never mind! Haha...""...Kiana looks different too. I surmise we were brought from different points in our history... Shortly before I arrived here, I became Herrscher of Reason and escaped the Quantum Sea with Seele. Does that sound familiar?""...Yeah, that... was a while back for me. I guess you must be right." So this Bronya was before they managed to defeat Kevin, and before Kiana became one with Finality. That seemed to explain a lot. "Well, it doesn't matter, right? The important thing is that we're together again." She said happily, trying her best to ignore all the stares she was getting. That incredible power radiating off her--it really drew attention. If she ever met a Reaper she'd likely see just how much attention it drew! (( OOC: ))

"..I'm starting to wonder if I should let you continue your little relationship with my sister! " As if she had a choice, though it was amusing, being she was the younger one, it typically was the older sibling to become protective of the younger one! "That's an idea, though. I can stop your relationship with --- " She paused suddenly, her own pause and sudden change of 'heart' made for one very confused little bird. Whatever it was that caught Carmen's attention and made her break the cage, at least enough that she could slip out of that hole, she would be thankful for it! Probably. Though it didn't save her from the humiliation she had just went through, and Athena was the witness!
Aiko meanwhile, was rather satisfied with herself! Still laughing, she couldn't feel anymore proud of her intervention. Reiner would have to thank her later with a shopping spree of sweets for her amusing little rescue. Or so she thought, until she suddenly would feel herself zipping away from the perched on branch she was so sneakily hidden in, and in the next moment, she was there on the ground, looking up to her short wolf-eared mother. "..?? " What happened next was, possibly the worst so called punishment she would get to experience in this time, lord knew she probably had it happen a LOT in her own time, but now, right at her very FIRST meeting with her mother who wasn't supposed to even know who she was! It was quite the terrible thing for Aiko. "What..!? Don't take my magic away..Why?! " She really seemed completely confused. "...So, they can point their actual dangerous weapons and threaten a innocent person, and -I- get punished for protecting him?! Everyone can protect anyone else, but I do it, and you take everything away from me? I didn't hurt anyone.I turned there stupid weapons into non-dangerous objects, how is that terrorizing people? Everyone's to SERIOUS here! " Her arms crossed as she stepped back a few steps, obviously she wasn't about to run off, she wasn't entirely a stupid child! "..I think everyone here is the big bully. Not me..I'm the only one who did the right thing here.." And it didn't seem even the Queens personal appearance would change how she felt. Most may be completely horrified, intimidated by the Queen being so close, yet Aiko seemed rather calm about it. Maybe she was just so mad about the entire situation there was no room to be. "Reiner! Tell them! I am not a bully! TELL them now! "
"..." It didn't happen often that Alisa of all people, would feel herself a little on the sidelines and keeping quiet, at least for the moment. There was a lot of things going at once neither of them expected! Her curiosity was especially peaked with this Reiner boy, as if she wasn't very convinced that story was entirely true. For now ,though, she would not think to far into it, she really had no idea who he could be, all she could guess right now, he wasn't really Minerva's servant. But at the same time, she did trust Minerva, much like Ephraim and the others did. "Ah, yes..I could say for certain, she has our trust.." In the end, she couldn't help but feel a bit bad for that poor boy, being dragged around like that!
Naturally, Phoenix wasn't one to keep back and avoid a possible threat or disturbance, and it took no time for her to stumble upon the scene everyone was gathered at. Lucky for her, she didn't quite witness the entire thing between Reiner and Minerva, but she did make it just in time for everyone's guard to ease down at the new comer. A familiar face, at that. "..It's you..." Phoenix lifted her hand in a small wave. "Kiana, right..?" She wondered if she even remembered her. "..Um.." She glanced at the others, they may of felt less threatened more so if they just knew a little more good, comforting words. "She saved Midgar from some real evil groups, it was really impressive. Far more impressive then even Carmen could ever do. " She spit out, shooting Carmen a glare as she said this! "Kiana is WAY cooler then you.." It seemed Kiana at least had another fan?

   It was official, she had become so involved in taking in the beauty of the Forest Kingdom, she ended up losing her way through all it's pretty lush greenery. It was no joke how easily one could get lost in this place had they not known it that well! She could blame the cute white bunny she was trailing for making her lose track of everyone, which was quite amusing considering she wasn't the only one who decided to wander off and explore a little! Not that she was worried, it was a land full of Serenitian elves, eventually someone would locate her! For now, though. That little fluffy ball of fur caught her eyes again, as it seemed to now be just chilling next to one of the tree's, looking at her. It didn't appear afraid, it just sat there as she began to approach it, and finally, she reached down to pick up the small animal and bring it up to her chest to snuggle close to her. "Oh, you are sooo cute, and so soft! I wish I could bring you to Midgar with me.." But she wouldn't do that! This was it's home, and a much, much more beautiful and healthier one at that!

  "Hmm? I don't think I'd refer to myself that way." Ariel would hear her attention called upwards, to a tree next to her, and when she looked up, she'd see a familiar prince seated on a strong branch. Probably not something you'd often see an older teenager doing, but for a prince of the forest, perhaps this was second nature. "Though I think you're cute and soft as well, Ariel! If you want to take me to Midgar, I would be fine with that!" It was as though it didn't even register to him a little bit that she might be talking to something else! "Ah, that's a cute rabbit, unrelated to what we were discussing." Yes, very unrelated. "Though I have an even cuter companion with me--have you met Sir Octo-Leg?" As if on cue, the spider poked its many-eyed head out of his thick hair, looking at the brown haired girl below their perch curiously. After a moment, though, it retreated back into its hiding spot. "Ah, he must be feeling shy. Perhaps he's bashful around cute and soft girls." He really had to keep returning that compliment that she was totally giivng him!

"Heehee.." Ariel's blue eyes found their way to the Forest prince when he spoke, a amused giggle escaping the brown-haired teen as she continued to look up at him. "You think I'm soft---and cute? " It really was to funny! "You're so funny, Reiner! Heehee! I was talking to my cute little fluffy friend here, my soft, cute, fluffy little friend! " She was the one who tended to be so slow, but this time, it seemed to fall on Reiner, and it was rather amusing, and cute how he mistook her words. His mention of his own companion brought a curious look to her eyes, though she had to squint a bit to see the tiny creature poke it's head out of his teal hair. "...I-I think the bunny here is soooo much cuter! " She didn't share his love for furry insects, especially those of spiders! There were SOME insects she loved, but spiders...they certainly weren't on her list! "Um..I hope it isn't venomous and bites you! " It was quick to retreat into his teal fortress of thick hair, but it didn't stop another little giggle from escaping. "I can agree with the cute thing! " Saying she's soft, on the other hand, could be taken much differently for those with evil minds! Though not even Ariel really caught how it could sound!

フェニックスの平静
"....Is it possible to die of boredom..? " She said quietly to herself, sighing heavily. Everyone was having a grand time, and it didn't surprise her to see Unisha having a good time here. She was friendly naturally, and easy to talk to, as if anyone could ever really escape her if they tried! Phoenix on the other hand, was feeling no interest in being here, she wasn't the social butterfly that her older sister was, nor did she really have friends here. "...Midgar.." She muttered quietly. It wasn't pretty, but it was probably a lot more fun then being around the nature loving, paranoid elves of the forest kingdom! She couldn't even pick a fight if she wanted to without getting in trouble. "....." Getting up to her feet, she would brush off the few little stuck leaves from her after laying in the grass for some time. before starting on her way to leave the Forest Kingdom.

"Hmm? Well, of course! Doesn't everybody?" Reiner responded to her question, as if it was just completely ridiculous to ask! "You're the cutest person in our group!" That group being, of course, the Mirages created from echoes of the future. "...Oh? Well, to each their own." He said in almost a confused voice as she expressed her preference for the rabbit, as if he was perplexed she could find the animal cuter than the spider with him. As if that was such a bizarre concept! "Oh, hey, you want to join me up here? You can see a lot more of the forest!" It wasn't high enough that she'd feel too nervous, but it was high enough that it gave a somewhat clear view through the trees. Had she agreed, he'd shift his body, hooking behind his knees around the branch he sat on, before dangling himself down, hanging upside-down and holding his arms out for her to grab. He could probably fit in with monkeys had he more hair. Had she taken his hands, he'd hoist himself up with a surprising show of upper body strength, making her seem like she was light as a feather! As he sat back up, she'd feel herself tossed into the air a small bit, before gravity took her back down, and perfectly into Reiner's arms, as he was seated like he had been again, now holding her in a princess-carry style. "Quite a ride, isn't it!" He said jovially, that typical steady smile on his face. "This forest has several trees that have absurdly strong branches, and my people--er, you know, the Forest Serenitians--they know how to identify them. They use them to scout the forest effectively, and plan ambushes when necessary. Being able to navigate and use the forest effectively is how they've thrived for so long!" With constant attack from demons and Reapers, they had to be able to use their terrain wisely. They were a warrior people who knew to use strategy as well as strength to win the day. In that way, they were a lot like his father, too! How fitting.

"Not exactly! " She said with a soft laughter. "At least, not the soft part.." Her amused smile remained. "Though, I suppose my hair is really soft! " Maybe that's what he meant, when he called her soft. Yes, that had to be it! "Ohh! You're going to make me blush! " As pretty as she was, she didn't exactly get many compliments like those Reiner was so sweetly giving, it was a bit hard to get used to, even if she agreed! She was cute, there was no confidence issues with her looks, that was for certain. "Ah,ha...Sorry? " It probably wasn't possible to upset Reiner, but she had to apologize regardless! He seemed to really love that little spider friend of his. "Hm? Um..Me? Climb up that tree? " The very thought of attempting something like that made her nervous, not due to the height at all, but worry of slipping and falling, or otherwise hurting herself somehow! She wasn't the most coordinated one in the world, and was quite clumsy! "..O-oh! ..You mean to help me up...I mean...if you think you can, how could I pass up such a fun opportunity to see the view! " And with him right there, she wouldn't have to be so worried! "Okay.! " She nodded in agreement finally, watching for a moment as he began to lower himself, his legs like the tail of a monkey, holding him securely in place! "Are you sure you grew up here, or in a jungle? " She giggled at her playful joke, before reaching up to grab a hold of his arms. "..! " Wow, was HE ever strong! Just looking at Reiner, he didn't appear to look as strong as he was, but boy did he ever show her his impressive core strength. It happened so fast, she barely had a chance to scream, which only really came out as a surprised squeak!
In the end, Ariel would find herself falling so very perfectly into Reiner's awaiting arms, causing her to blink a few times, as her brain processed what just happened! It wasn't exactly how she expected, but she certainly wasn't complaining either! "...H-Hello..! " She said, a faint hint of a blush creeping up to her cheeks. "..I never knew you were so strong.." He was his father's son, for sure. "So..this is one of those strong tree's? That sounds..amazing! I get lost here myself, so it really is a great idea, for those like me who don't know it well...there's no way an enemy would stand a chance against Forest Serenitians.."
