{This is a private role-play for Air, Karma, Oleo, and Faust. It is in a new thread because at the moment, both Ar'Idil stickies have other active Rps in them. ^^}
Karma opened the door to the outdoors, and stretcher her arms above her head. The early morning fog was just starting to dissapate, when Faust sprang through the enterance. Karma grinned, and waved to her young gryphon. "Morning Faust. You up for some more berry picking?"
The little Aerandir nodded his head furiously, and trotted over to the stairs. Carefully, remembering his past lesson, the gryphon climbed down the stairs. "Nwark!" He chirped excitedly at being able to go down faster than last time.
"Good job Faust!" The guardian grinned, and quickly followed her charge down the few steps to the ground. Sleepily, she leaned against a wooden support for her cabin, and watched her little gryphon trot about. It was earlier than she usually got up, and so she was still mostly asleep.
It was quite apparent that Faust was doubly excited for the task that lay ahead of them. The last time he had gone berry picking, he had really enjoied it. So this time it made sense that he couldn't help but display his excitement. Faust was running around in circles and figure-eights, while he waited for his guardian to fully awaken.

Air woke up early as always, this time however, it was due to something else besides custom. Her stomach was growling loudly, if something else were living with her it might have ran away scared. The last of her food was gone, and no matter how lazy she was, this time there was nothing else to do but actually look for some.
She took off her pajamas and dressed in some jeans and a clean shirt. She took the jars that had been assigned to her and placed them inside a small handbag. When she got to the door she took the lime-green backpack that was besides it on the floor and then swung the door open.
She walked down the stairs, carrying her now usual boredom when she spotted, no more than a house away, a person and a gryph. This was the first time she saw a real gryph, before it had only been in pictures and her imagination.
She was shaking in excitement as she got near. Upon approach she noticed that the person was actually a girl. "G-good morning!" she said, still a few paces away. Not sure of how either of them would react towards a new person.

Faust immediatly noticed that there was someone, who seemed to be much more awake than his guardian, coming nearby. His pacing ceased, and was instead changed to a gallop as he raced towards, and around Air. "Nyurr!" He chirped a loud greeting to the new person, and came to a halt beside her.
It took the sleepy Karma a while to realise that something was going on, and once she did, the guardian was slow to react. "Wha, what?" She shook her head, and slid off her glasses to rub her eyes. "Faust, what is it? Faust?" She replaced her glasses, and refocused her eyes on Air and her own charge. "Oh!" She formed a slightly sleepy grin on her face. "Hello there! I see you've met Faust... Sort of." Karma jogged over to the new face, and stretched out a hand. "Hi, I'm Karma, nice to meet you." With her not outstreched hand, she tucked a piece of hair behind her ear, and produced a, finally, not sleepy smile.

"Aww cuute!" she said at the galloping gryphing, forgetting about her hunger at the time. Once it stood besides her she was tempted to pet it's head. However she was full of excitement, respect and a bit of fear for the creature. She gave him a big smile as her hand got near it. Hoping her hand was not to be pecked, or bitten. She was about to touch it when the girl called "Hello there! I see you've met Faust... Sort of."
"Hi!" Air replyed smiling and took her hand without a second doubt. "I'm Air, it's nice to meet you too. Is he yours?" she said motioning towards Faust "he's soo cute! can I touch him? does he bite?".... suddenly feeling some pain in the stomach she added by mistake "do u have any food?".... "uh, no, nevermind, didn't mean to ask that" she said with a slight blush in her face.

Faust leaned his head to the side. He wouldn't bite the girl, unless she was evil... But even then, he might only give her a little headbutt. They young gryphon emmitted a soft cooing noise, and touched his antler to Air's hand. "Whirr?"
Karma nodded, beaming. "Yes, he's mine." She was very proud of her little bundle of never-ending energy. At the next few comments, she grinned, and laughed lightly. "Thank you! Of course you can touch him, he won't bite at all. Though he might nudge you a bit occasinally." She gave Fauset a quick pet on the head between his par of antlers. It was his soft spot, he always loved being petted there. "As for food, you came at the right time. We were just headed towards a berry patch that we found a few days ago."
Faust's small ears perked at the mention of berries. He glanced up at Air, and, positive that she would follow, started to trot forward slightly. The young gryphon couldn't wait to start with the berry picking, and the thought of having someone else there just seemed to be more enjoyable.
Karma shook her pointer finger for a second, and touched Faust's shoulder. "Faust, just a little longer, okay?"
The gryphon gave a deep chirp, but stopped his motion. He wanted to go now, but he didn't want to leave Karma behind.
The lady zipped back to her cabin momentarily, and was back out in a snap, basket in hand. "So are you a guardian Air?" She asked, placing herself beside both Faust and the new lady.

Faust's cooing got Air's attention away from Karma almost immediatly, the touch of his antler gave her a feeling she could not understand. She wanted to hug the gryph right there.
"Berry patch?" Air had heard of berries before, she had seen a few being sold at supermarkets, but had never actually tasted one. "Think there's enough for all of us?"
At this time Faust took off, only comming to a halt when Karma called him. Air could see Faust's exitement and smiled at him, hoping for the day her own gryph would be with her.
"Uh, yes, I'm a guardian too" she smiled answring Karma's question. Opening her handbag she reveal it's contents, two small jars that seemed to glow with and odd cleanness. "Seeing Faust I can hardly wait!" she said with a giggle.
"So, are we going now?", she said motioning Faust forward. The company of them both made her feel much more welcome in a place that had seemed somewhat cold a few days ago.

Karma nodded. "Oh, I'm positive that there'll be enough. Don't worry." She peered into the handbag as Air opened it. "Wow! Your artifacts look beautiful!" She grinned, remembering when her young gryphon was two small artifacts. "It might be a little bit late, but congrats, and welcome to Ar'Idil!"
Faust too, sneaked a peek at the glass jars. They looked pretty, that nice Aerandir he had met, Sanar, she would probably like them. Nodding to himself, he declared mentally that he would have to show her the new shineies. Moving his bird-like head away from the bag, he lowered it to the ground. Faust hoped that it wouldn't be too long before they could actually go to the berries.
Karma smiled, she could relate. She remembered when it was her waiting for her artifacts to merge. Karma gazed at Faust for a while, reminicing. "Yes, I'm sure that when your artifacts do merge, that they will become a beautiful gryphon!" She replied, still gazing at her own Aerandir, Air's last question was floating about in her head, but the answer, yes, just wasn't coming out for some reason. She was too deep in thought at the moment.
Faust honked somewhat quietly, and decided that waiting and listening to the two ladies was getting just a little bit boring. So, taking the lead, he opened his wings, fluffed them, and started to move. Faust began at a slow trot, then quickly advanced to a rather fast canter. "Nyurk! Nwarik!" The gryph screeched to the pair of guardians, and paused, waiting for them to catch up.
Karma was thrown back to reality when Faust bolted forward. Air's question was still fresh in her mind, and so she answered right away. "Well, looks like we're going now! Come on, I get the feeling that Faust won't be waiting for much longer." Karma grabbed Air's hand, and started after her charge.

Air smiled and answered with a quiet "thank you! and don't worry, you're no late at all, actually I haven't gone out of my house since I arrived" she said scratching her head, a bit ashamed. She took advantage of Faust comming close to watch inside the bag and petted him soflty on the head, the feather were very soft, different from what she had imagined.
Karma seemed to be lost in her thoughts, when she finally said "Yes, I'm sure that when your artifacts do merge, that they will become a beautiful gryphon!" .
"I hope it will" With a sudden reminder from her stomach she forgot what it was she was going to say next. It didn't seem t matter, when she looked at Karma, she was once again lost in thought. Faust's sudden movement woke her up.
They both started their walk after Faust, after Air had carefully closed her handbag to keep the artifacts from falling. Air loved the smell of the fresh morning grass and everytime they gave a step a stronger scent seemed to fill the air.
"Are we too far from the berries?" she asked, with how she was feeling she didn't even care if she had not tasted berries before. She had to have something to eat. Even with Faust moving forward and the sound of strange birds and insects there was nothing else Air could think about but food.

Faust, satisfied with his human friends' response, continued to lead the trail they blazed. For the first little while, there was nothing much to see except for vast areas of grass. Then, when the small group arrived at the forest, there was the occasinal hop, or duck, so that a branch or root related accident would be avoided. Faust's mind was set on his mission ahead of him. Find the berries. He didn't even notice the large pinecone that had fallen in front of him.
Karma nodded absentmindedly as she answered, "Not too far, from the looks of it." Even though she wasn't the one who had found the berries in the first place, she had remembered their vague placement. "The bushes are just a little bit further into the forest." She motioned towards Faust, who seemed to be figuring out whether it was left, or right that they were supposed to go next.
The Aerandir peered to his left and right sides. He was supposed to turn one of the ways, but he couldn't remember which at the time. Completly lost for the time-being, he gazed at his guardian, and made a low, deep, "Whrr." It didn't seem to work for a while, and so, the gryphon trotted over to the pair, and stared at them. As if they would know whether to go left or right.

Air followed, the sight of the Aerandir was all she needed for the moment. She enjoyed watching it run and prance around. When he stopped and turned around, Air understood that he had no idea of which way to take. Looking at Karma she said "We can go either way, if it's the wrong one we can always turn back!" she smiled shyly.

Karma nodded her head. "I agree, one wrong turn isn't the end of the world." She looked down at Faust. "Do you remember the way now?" Karma bent down a little bit, so she was some-what level with her grypohon's eyes.
Faust's Ptarmigan face contorted into a look of concentration. Thinking back, the Aerandir remembered coming to the forest, going a little bit in, and then, he turned left? He went over the memory again, and nodded to Karma. "Nyur!" Soon enough, Faust was bounding through the forest once again, turning left.
As she followed her young charge, Karma looked over at Air, "So, how has life been treating you so far?"

Following closely she answered "Ah, same as always" she sighed. "Not too good, not too bad", however a smile was quickly draw on her face upon remembering what she had in her handbag. "What about you?" she said, looking up at the braches of the trees, she loved this kind of places so much.

Karma nodded, "That's good. I'm doing well." She glanced over at her new friend, and followed her line of sight. As Karma saw the branches of the trees, a thought sprang to her mind. It hadn't really occurred to her before, but she remembered it was fun the last time she tried. "Hey, Air, do you like to climb trees?" Of course, the last time she climbed a tree, was when she was about eight.

Air stopped walking all of a sudden. "Climb trees?, I really haven't done that in a long time" and she really meant . "Why? feel like doing some tree climbing?" she smiled at the thought, even though she doubted she could actually go very high.

"Well..." Karma grinned sheepishly, "I thought it might be fun. I remember that it was always fun when I was younger so..." The lady looked away momentarily, and quietly called over her gryphon. "Perhaps, if it's fine with you, we could do some tree-climbing?" She peered up at a rather large, looming tree to her left, and a child-ish sparkle appeared in her eyes.
Faust, beckoned by his guardian, trotted over to the pair of women and stood, quite confused, at their side. "Nwar?" He tilted his head to the side. What on earth were they doing? He thought that the three of them were headed to the berries.
