___- Tree-House Isle -__Despite the rest of the HQ being covered in a layer of snow, the area around the lake of Tree-House Isle was not. A small glowing orb, emerald green in color and about the size of a marble, hovered above the center of the lake. The small thing swirled occasionally, holding a spell to keep the area warm and spring-like. To a boy and a dinosaur who could not stand to be couped up indoors during the winter season, that thing was a life-saver.
A whip-like tail came down towards the water surface with the force of a falling piece of log, resulting in a loud Boom-Splash-- well actually, it was a just-audible shlick-splood. Still, sprays of water were sent flying towards a pair of conjoined twin.
Rex took a sharp intake of breath as the water flew towards him and held a palm out towards it. The boy concentrated fully on drawing energy from the surrounding into his palm, before unleashing it a split second later to form a barrier in front of him.
A smirk came across the mishap's face as water hit invisible energy shield and dispersed. With a wave of the same hand, Rex called the barrier off, shining down on the greften before him.
"Easy!"
Chruk!
"Ow!"
A loud giggle could be heard from somewhere behind Rex as the boy rubbed his shoulder where the pebble hit.
"Your guard was off, Rexier Gaver." Silencer grinned up at the kid, and disappeared under the surface of the water. A few seconds later a large reptilian shot out of the lake and landed gracefully on the bank beside a rather sour-faced child.
"Unfair! It came out so suddenly, I wasn't prepared for it." Rex pointed out, and laughed in an instant mood change as his guardian shook herself dry, sending sprays of water droplets over him.
"A' really? Your enemies wouldn't let you prepare yourself for an attack in an ambush, yannow."
"True." Rex nodded, and patted Silencer on the head, before running a hand down her back like an ordinary child might stroke a pet cat.
King chittered off to himself, enjoying the natural surrounding the place provided. The tyrannosaur blinked as a small figure(who chucked the pebble at Rex earlier) broke through the edge of the trees and galloped his way, then let out a roar just for the fun of seeing it skitter off in the direction of Silencer.

"Mm.. Fresh air, nice surrounding, what a perfect day for a walk," Xiao Ling said as she walked towards the Tree House Isle. "Come on, Kunjiro. This is a nice place."
Kunjiro was walking slowly, not wanting to go to the island. "A place full of trees? Boring," he thought. When reaching the lake, Xiao Ling was enjoying the environment too much that Kunjiro managed to sneak off without her noticing. Not far from where Xiao Ling was, the mishap walked further and saw his friend, Rex. "Big!" he cried out.

Rex turned his head around at the mention of his name. A grin quickly spread across his face as he saw who the it was.
"Kunjiro! Hallo there!"
As Rex waved to Kunjiro, Silencer turned her head in the direction of the toddler and smiled. The greften flicked her tail and rolled over, slipping into the water below. Shortly after her head popped out from the water surface, followed by her two front limbs.
"Hello there, Kunjiro." Silencer said, leaning against the waters edge and looking at the moss mishap. "Here alone? Where's your mother?"

"Mother near here," Kunjiro replied to the greften's questions. He looked at the lake for a while and asked, "What you doing here? I bored here, but mother say this place nice," he said, digging his pockets for small biscuits and offered them to Rex and his guardian before tossing one into his mouth.

Silencer tossed her head around her, looking for signs of Xiao Ling. At the offer of small biscuits by the toddler, she smiled and shook her head. "No thanks. keep them for yourself."
Rex, on the other hand, eagerly accepted the biscuits. Tossing a few into both King and his own mouth, the boy followed Kunjiro's gaze, and spoke through mouthfuls of cookies.
"Mom and I, and Orca," Rex stroked the wolftaur who had just come up to him for a bit of the biscuits, "Are here to help me practise my magic. I'm getting better, now practicing with things other than pebbles."
The boy smiled down at Kunjiro, pride welling up in him. "Want me to show you?"

"Okay," Kunjiro said, putting the other biscuit into his pocket. He then looked at the direction where his mother was, and pointed a finger at a black figure as it was coming towards them. "My mom there, I think."
"Magic?" the mushroom boy replied in amazement, for he had never seen anyone performing magic before. "I want to see, I want to see!"
"Hello all," came a voice not far from where everyone was. It was Xiao Ling, and she walked towards the where everyone was, not wanting to miss the fun the others were having. "Did I miss anything?"

"No, nothing at all. In fact, the show's just starting." Silencer winked at Xiao Ling, and nodded towards her charge. "Make yourself comfortable, eh?" the greften added as she started to swim away from the group of three.
Rex was all smiles. He lifted Orca from his lap and replaced the taur pup on the ground beside him. Turning towards his mother, the boy signalled that he was ready.
"Watch now, Kunjiro."
In the middle of the lake, Silencer's eyes twinkled. The greften slipped underwater briefly before shooting out of the water dolphin-styled, quills erect. Silencer shot two streams of water at Rex, before gravity pulled her back into the water.
Having prepared for this, Rex held out a hand, palm out. Like before, he drew energy from around him(not including Orca, Kunjiro and his guardian) and formed it into a barrier before him. However this time, when the water hit the barrier, instead of letting it disperse into harmless little droplets of water Rex tried something new.
Rex closed his eyes and felt around the energy barrier. He tightened his control over them as soon as he felt water hit the barrier and held the liquid in, preventing them from scattering into droplets. The barrier looked like it was made of water for just a little while, before imploding on itself.
A gasp could be heard from Rex as the water drenched him, and he opened his eyes.

Kunjiro watched excitedly as the show was about to begin. As Silencer shot two streams of water at Rex, the moss boy watched the whole thing carefully, not wanting to miss anything. "Magic, it really magic!" he said, feeling happy to see real magic and not reading about them.
Right after Kunjiro saw those, he heard a splash. At first he did not know where the splash came from and was surprised to see his friend wet all over. "Eh?" he said, before running towards Rex to see what happen.
Xiao Ling was as excited as Kunjiro when she saw magic, but her mood changed when the barrier implode on itself. She walked towards the drenched boy to see what happened, before offering him tissue.

Silencer's head broke the surface of the water just then and the greften looked around, slightly disorientated by the dive. Voices behind her caught her attention and she whipped around and started in the direction of the source.
"Ai, what happened?" The greften blinked at the sight that greeted her when she reached the shore. "What's with you being dripping wet, my boy?"
"The stupid--"
"AHer-hem."
"The shield broke." Rex said, running a hand through his dripping wet hair. "I thought I might try absorbing the water and channeling it into the earth like Jabir said, but..."
"You wanted to... I see." Silencer mused, dragging herself out of the water. She smiled at Kunjiro as the boy passed her, and shook herself dry. Her smile, which returned when Xiao Ling went pass her too, quickly turned apologetic as she caught sight of Orca shaking himself dry beside her. "Oh. Sorry, Orca."
Rex peered at the small tissue, seriously doubting its ability as a drying towel. However, the boy accepted it with a polite smile and a word of thanks, dabbing his face with the thin thing.

"I guess you might want to go back and change," said Xiao Ling to Rex as he used the tissue to dry himself. "The HQ is cold now, and if you don't hurry you'll fall sick," she continued.
Kunjiro took some of the tissues from Xiao Ling and paste them on Rex's leg, planning to remove them later. In no time he ran out of tissues, and he threw the plastic on the floor.

Silencer nodded. Xiao Ling's right, her child would catch a cold in this weather - the pearl served only as a temporary 'spring provider'. Turning to said pearl, Silencer winced. Well, its power was almost drained, so... right.
"Alright, big guy. Xiao Ling's right, we must get you back to your room. C'mon now! Let's hope the pearl has enough power to supply warmth to all of us, at least until we reach the main building."
With that the greften held out its paw towards the floating orb, which obediently flew back to Silencer. Seeing Orca's eager face, Silencer smiled and placed the glowing marble in his hands, before walking towards the HQ.
As she spoke, the lake started to freeze over and snow began covering the land which was green before as the power held in the pearl ebbed slowly away. "Looks like it won't last any longer. Come, Xio Ling, Kunjiro and Rex. We must hurry."
A grin plastered onto his face, Rex chuckled at Kunjiro as the toddler 'tissuefied' his feet, before snapping his head up at his mother. "Okay!"
Picking up and pocketing the plastic left on the ground by Kunjiro, Rex scrambled to his feet and ran after Silencer, waving back towards Xiao Ling and Kunjiro. "Come, hurry!"

"So, the weather is actually freezing here?" Xiao Ling asked before leaving the snow-covered area. "I didn't know that! I thought there was no snow here," she continued.
As soon the area was covered in snow and the temperature started to drop, Kunjiro, who was about to remove the tissues from Rex's legs gave a yawn.
"Alright, I'm coming. Looks like Kunjiro is sleepy," Xiao Ling said, carrying the sleepy boy behind her back. "My, my, he's getting heavier," she thought.

___Tree House Isle (rp with Rabid and Malachi)
"On top of spa-ghe-tiii, all covered with cheeeeese, I lost my poor meeeeat-ball, when somebody sneeezed-"
Lenore, quite obviously, was bored. Lounging in the spring-like enviroment of the Isle was a comfort from the endless cold and white drudgery winter had reduced HQ to, but the warmth and plants did little to entertain her today.
What was a girl to do? No company for her today - even Sadako seemed to have ditched her. Nestling in her high perch in one of the towering trees, Lenore fluffed her tail feathers in annoyance at the thought and continued singing.
Very, very loudly.
"-it rolled off the taaaable, and onto the flooooor, and then my poor meeeeatball rolled out of the dooooor-"

Rabid walked blindly, reading a novel and guiding Ike into the trees. He'd been bothering her to take him somewhere, and he'd said that he wanted to learn to climb, so hey. She was too out-of-it to hear Lenore's singing.
"Mummy? Mummy? Mummy, let go of Ike."
"Hm?"
"Ike go play wit' Len, kay?"
"Huh? Oh, sure. Just don't go too far," Rabid said and plopped down on a nearby rock, never removing her eyes from the book.
"LEEEEEEEEEEN!" Ike yelled, his ears swivelling wildly as he followed her voice, "LEN!" He reached the apparently singing tree and peered up.
"Hi, Len!"
