Bandit pushed aside his silly sisters and wiggled free of the secret tunnel. The three had been outside before, but they had gotten lost so it didn't count. This time they were going to simply stay in the little clearing in front of thier cave. Father had hinted about some visitors coming to see them but none of them could get him to say exactly who. "Not Aunt Mo, she's away with our cousins right?" Bandit asked, his voice considerably lower than the girls. "What about Aunt...I mean what about Mystica?" He asked in a whisper, mostly to himself. He could tell that her name didn't really help to liven his father's spirits. With a sigh he hopped over to his sisters and asked what they wanted to play. "How about we play Rebels!" Sir Bandit asked, for this was his favorite game and he often told his father how much he wanted to be one.

 Making his way down the stream, Cera felt he might have gone in the wrong direction. "Lets see... there's suppose to be a cave around here.... somewhere...mumbled Cera. This place certainly wasn't like Attila... Yeap... much more "wood" around here. Hm... no I'm certain I took the right way Cera thought to himself.
As he noticed the terrain change, he knew for sure he was going the right way. The ground seemed to have a transitioning point from wild grass to slightly more manicured grass with patches of dirt here and there. Ahh there it is!Cera breathed in deeply and charged towards a strong, purple fafner. "So Akito... is this the lil fluffster that you wanted to show everyone?" He eyed a small purple fluffball who bared much resemblance to Akito, however there was something in his eyes. Yes his eyes portrayed an unusual rebellious thirst.
Shrugging it off Cera spun around and offered his tail toward the young fluff as a sign of hello.

Akito laughed and nodded at the youthfullness of Cera. "Yes he is. My daughters seem to have gone back inside but they do resemble me as well." He nodded his purple head and continued, "This is Sir Bandit but he prefers just Bandit and Cry says he's got my eyes." Another laugh and Akito settled back down watching the two.
Bandit looked at this new Fafner suspiciously. "Who are you?" He asked sticking out his nose to get his scent. "Hmm..." He mumbled trying to peice together his scent. "You must be from Attila Clan." He nodded and took another sniff. "And you've got the scent of herbs so you are also a healer." He nodded again, seeign how this young Fafner must know his dad. He wasn't sure what to do now.

Cera tilted his head as Bandit fully analyzed who he was. Very impressed, Cera crouched down to eye level with Bandit. Well he's a smart one Akito... Better keep a good eye on him, afterall, he could be something special one day." Still eying Bandit, Cera put his paw out towards him, "Sorry for not introducing myself to you before young one. My name would be Cera and I am indeed all you say I am". Flickering his tail Cera thought of an interesting idea. You know Bandit, they say the Attila Clan are amazing swimmers. Maybe one day if Akito doesn't mind, I can take you out by Lake Attila and teach you a few lessons to show off to your sisters... What do you say? Would you like that? Although Cera didn't realize it, he almost wanted a fluffball of his own one day.

Akito cocked his head to one side and the sudden turn of direction. "Well I dunno if..."
Bandit butted in, "Oh would you!? How about right now!? Dad please?"
Akito shook his head, "Son at the moment you have no arms or legs. It would be a little hard for you to swim if you what I mean. But I suppose when you do have arms and legs you can go with Cera to the river but only if your mom or I are there with you."
Bandit seemed a little disappointed but began to wonder what else Cera could do with him. Like...an older brother. "Could we atleast go exploring right now? Wount go far dad!"
Akito nodded in amusment. "As long as you are back for lunch and you really don't go off too far you can go with Cera if he says it's okay."

Cera chuckled slightly at the enthusiastic Bandit. Sure, I can take you out on an adventure. Hm... how we will get back though, is the problem... His eyes flickered towards Bandit wondering if he might know the surroundings of the area despite how young he was. Bandit does seem to have an unusual gift, so maybe it was possible. Turning his head back towards Akito, "Maybe you should come along with us this first time. Since I don't know the areas all too well, it might be wise if you really wanted Bandit back today by lunch. Unless you're alright with tomorrow at lunch... Cera winked at Akito since he knew Akito could never allow such a thing, especially if he didn't want Cry to yell at him.

Akito frowned. "I'm not sure. I promised Cry I'd let her go off to her Clan for the afternoon so I have to watch the others." He nodded towards the cave entrance where Sunset and Valeria stood. "Maybe I can let you stayout til' dinner but if not you can come back tomorrow I suppose."
Bandit stuck out his touge at his sisters, they alway ruined everything, and looked back at Cera exspectantly.

Cera nodded, "What a good er... husband fafner? Looking at Bandit who seemed very excited, he flickered his tail in excitement as well. "Looks like you're stuck with me Bandit, bwahahaha he said in a maniacal laughter. Hm... so would you like to bounce off into an adventure, or ride on my back? Oh and before I forget, where would you like to go? The forest, or some other kind of area that is around here.

Akito grinned and laughed. "Well I'll see you two tonight then." Akito said nodding to Bandit, "Parhaps you'll stay for dinner." He nodded his head as he walked back to the cave and hurriedly pushed the girls inside.
Bandit grinned. "I can walk there but maybe I'll want to ride back." He said standing up next to Cera. "I think we should go down to the river, where dad first met mom." He nodded and recalled the story. "They were playing in the river and then moved to the feild of golden flowers."

Cera's mouth dropped as Bandit told him Akito's story. "Ahaha.... But yes, I think the river would be a great idea. Squinting his eyes, he lowered his voice I could teach you how to snorkel using the bamboo stalks I saw as I was traveling here. It would help you get use to the water and strengthen your muscles at a very young age. Trotting off towards the forest, he slowed his pace just enough for Bandit to keep up.

"Well dad did say no swimming but I suppose it couldn't be too dangerous." With a sigh he bounced happily after Cera. "It shouldn't be too far from here. I mean Dad goes down for herbs all the time. Oh but he's got arms and legs hasn't he."

Shifting his eyes back and forth, Cera snickered. "Snorkeling is not swimming... it's breathing through a tube of bamboo. It won't be dangerous at all, but your eyes might not be use to the water at first. But don't worry, if anything happens I will catch you since I am one of the best swimmers of Attila. Anyway, if your dad asks, you went snorkeling in shallow water, not swimming. This would be your lesson on half truths by the way, hopefully it will get you out of trouble in the future." Noticing the lake would not be too far off, Cera looked around for the stalks of bamboo. "Say Bandit.... I wouldn't suppose you could use your nose to sniff for bamboo?

"Okay then." Bandit replied, understanding that they we're exactly lying just not telling the whole truth. This brought a mychevious smile onto his face. "Don't need to." Bandit said, "There's some south, a little west, and a huge clump right next to the lake."

Cera stared at Bandit for a while. Ahh!! I wish he was my lil fuzzily!!, Cera thought to himself. "Wow, that was fast. Well, the ones by the lake seem like they will be nice and strong. We better hurry before it's dark. Cera crouched down and motioned for Bandit to hop on his back. Hopefully Bandit would listen, but then again... he is Bandit... the future rebel leader.

Bandit shook his head, not wanting to appear weak. "I said on the way back." Bandit said sturnly. "And it's not even close to dark yet." He bounce forward, waiting for Cera to catch up.
