Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nodding to what Riyo said, the thief noted that she seemed to be speculating a thing or two still. He just couldn't quite tell what it was she was thinking about. When she asked how he was, he rubbed his shoulder some and shrugged. The dull aches in it have subsided considerably but he figured he should still try to take it easy with that arm.

"A little sore and stiff, but I'll live. Good to hear you're alright though."

Glancing back at Yuki after he had tried to wake up the others, he looked towards the area they had placed their bags of supplies.

"Something quick? Well bread, jerky, and water won't need any preparation. If you want something cooked, I can try to see what I can do but I'm no chef. Though.. shouldn't you be getting some rest? All this rushing is going to drain you if it didn't do that already."

"If you say so."

After glancing between Yuki and Hitsu as they exchanged a few words on their pace and Neko, Blade went and rummaged through their supplies for a moment before grabbing what he needed. He tossed a chunk of bread and a slice of dried meat at Yuki, and went to hand some to Hitsu and Riyo as well.

"Here, eat up. If you need something to drink, the waterskin's in the big bag."

With that said, he just began to munch a bit on some of the meat. It wasn't really a meal, but it'd at least be something to get their day started. He wasn't really one to eat much for breakfast anyway.

Neko awoke to find himself fairly damp from all the early morning dew. The rain hung in the air making it almost chokingly humid as the sun began to rise above the horizon. Their temporary shelter under a low hanging tree hadn't done much beyond shield them from the majority of the rain, which at least Neko was thankful for that but the cold night air and the moisture had left him with a bit of a chill.

Sitting up from his resting place Neko noticed Mitsu had curled up against his back at some point during the night. Whether it was for comfort of warmth was unknown, more than likely both knowing her. Looking to their camp fire that had died out long ago Neko contemplated whether he should go ahead and make another one and prepare her tea or worry about finding the others first. Maybe it would depend on how Mitsu felt.

Turning on his rear, Neko moved so that he was facing in Mitsu's direction and nudged her shoulder gently. "Mitsu. You need to get up."

Giving a bit of a low whine Mitsu meerly shifted in place and went back to sleep which forced Neko to nudge her a little harder. Finally his efforts bore fruit and Mitsu sat up in a groggy manner staring off at nothing inparticular, sleep still evident in her eyes. "It's morning?" She yawned rubbing at her face. Apparently the cold nor the damp air had phased her in the least.

"Yeah, morning. How are you feeling?"

"Sleepy."

"...besides that."

Mitsu blinked a few times trying to think. "I guess I feel okay."

"Not sick?"

Mitsu shook her head which Neko responded by standing to his feet and offering her a hand up. "Good, then lets get going. The sooner we find everyone the better and I'm sure they bought some supplies and food. More than what we got so we'll have breakfast when we find them."

Taking Neko's hand Mitsu pulled herself up and nodded at his statement. Once they were packed up they were off on the same trail they had been following before hoping the find the rest of the group soon.

Yuki reached out to catch the food that Blade tossed to him, making very short work of the meat. He slowed just a bit with the bread, but that was only because gulping down bread too fast was just a horrible idea in general.

"You're going to make yourself sick." Hitsu had warned, and rolled her eyes when he pretended not to hear her. Not that she was eating slowly, just... Slower.

He had stepped over to the supply bags, to retrieve the waterskin. He watched Riyo with a raised brow when she burst aloud her thoughts, gaze trailing after her a moment when she'd walked away. He tilted his head back to take a drink, and caught glimpse of something amiss above ground level. He realized what it was immediately, gasped out of shock, and choked on the water. "<********>" He managed to shout through his coughing and sputtering. "RIYO!" He called, though telling her to return was too much to say right now, so instead he frantically motioned her back toward them as he tried to catch his breath.

Hitsu had given quite a jolt at the first scream, jerking her attention to whatever was so horrifying. For a moment, she was startled by the looming figure as well. Though, not much slower than Yuki, she knew who she was looking at.

"My God, you guys..." She groaned, likely only to be heard by Poke and Blade if they were close enough. "Stop screaming, it's too early!" She called out to them, and continued eating as though nothing had happened. Once she was finished, and nobody was screaming anymore, she'd return Hanse's property to him. That was the plan, anyway.

"wha, I've only been asleep for 5 mins, it can't be morning already.." poke mumbled as she was still half alseep, and remained so for the next 5 minutes untill she registered screaming from some ways off. Deciding now was the time to get up, she groggily rose from the floor and stretched, glad it was finnaly morning. Once outside, she blinked as she couldn't see anyone in the immediate space. "dammit, did they leave without me?!" she said angirly and ran out of the hut and towards the sound of the screaming.

She stopped once she saw where everyone was and looked atop the hut. Hanse was looking quite large with his wings spread out, and poke was reminded of the books she read when she was little. The ones that shown pictures of huge flying lizard that breathed fire. Safe to say she was impressed.

Blade heard Poke coming up from behind, causing him to glanced over his shoulder at her for a moment. But his attention soon went back to the one on the roof, as he soon took flight. He watched the half-dragon ascend towards the sky.

Must be nice to be able to fly like that.

Though as he watched, he soon noticed that the one in the sky was starting to come back down. And at a very fast rate. For now, he didn't move from where he stood. Though if he felt that for some reason he was going to be dive bombed here, he would be sure to try and get out of the way. It didn't quite seem to be that case though.

Then, closing his eyes, he tried to remember a thing or two about certain family members. But nothing came; either he had never met them or he was simply too young when he did.
