Welcome to Gaia! ::

It wasn't too often that Shun ventured out into the scarefari. He had no need for more pets. However, he was currently scouting out the area to see how it'd be for his falcons. They had begun to hover, meaning they were likely going to be able to take their first flights sometime soon. If this was true, he was going to need to find some nice areas for them to practice and strengthen their wings. Perhaps he could get them to hunt on their own a bit too. It would take a bit of training.

Not only that, but he did set a few traps here now and then. He found that the scarefari was good to collecting various resources.

How coal and stuff got into his traps.. he didn't know. At the same time, he didn't really question it. A number of the things, he didn't really use himself, but there were a couple things that were decent for pawning off for seeds.

In any case, he had Yin and Yang with him, letting them get a feel for the lands.

As he made his way through the scarefari, Shun paused as he heard a few voices from nearby. One of the voices sounded to be rather pissed, but he didn't recognize either. The other thing he noticed was that they had an accent he wasn't too familiar with either.

Yin had ventured over in that direction, so he moved to make sure that his bird wasn't in any immediate danger. With everything going on as of late, he felt like he couldn't be too suspicious to begin with. Though, he didn't know if Hunters had any interest in minipets. Even so, he made his way to investigate, summoning his daggers just in case something was amiss.

It was too bad Yang couldn't fly yet. He could have sent the white falcon to scout otherwise. This wasn't the case.

Quietly, he just went towards the source. If it was an enemy, he'd be the one with the element of surprise. Not the other way around.

Now what we have here, is a kangaroo. Dangerous buggahs when provoked. Watch out for their legs as they can deliver quite the powerful kick! Watch as this boomer races ahead. What speed!

No that wasn't what was going through Shun's head. That was just his player being a dork. With the way he was creeping closer through the grass, he might as well have been doing a documentary for Minipet Planet. He watched as the two raced, only to see the kangaroo disappear and reappear moments later.

Well. That killed any suspicion that he was dealing with a hunter. The only ones able to do this sort of thing were Reapers. While he watched, Yang was creeping along with him, blinking as he didn't know what they were doing. Yin, on the other hand, was just chilling nearby.

"He does have a point," he commented while straightening up, dismissing his daggers.

That was a bit of a dirty trick for a race.

Shun raised an eyebrow as the familiar spoke. He used some lingo that he wasn't really too familiar with. Namely 'chit' and 'gink'. It took him a moment, but he got the gist of what he was saying thee. Not saying anything right away, he looked over the roo that had stepped closer to him, having never really seen one up close before. The closest were the sungaroo minis he had seen someone have. It was good to see that this person wasn't inclined to shout 'kyokugen!' like that one guy was.

"It depends on what you find fun, I suppose," the Reaper replied with a shrug. For some reason this made him think of his little encounter with Charlie. The pranks the demon thought of didn't seem particularly harmful but...

Eh, he just shrugged it off. Though now he felt like something was amiss. Wasn't there some sort of rule of locking eyes with another Reaper in the Scarefari means you have to fight? No. That was just Blade being a dork again.

Shaking his head, he placed his hands into his pockets, looking around to see if he could spot where Yin had gone off now. The young black falcon had fallen out of his line of sight now. She had a tendency to go off on her own a lot more than Yang.

Shun was not put off by Lark's current attitude. It didn't really matter to him if she had been having it roughly lately or what. His gaze was still scanning the grass for the moment, trying to spot his other bird. Around that time, Yang decided to try and help out. The white bird began to jump up and down flapping hard to gain some altitude, peeking around as he did so.

It was good practice for him anyway.

In any case, it seemed that this... duo was a rather dynamic one, given the comments shot at eachother.

"I heard a pair of unfamiliar and somewhat foreign voices. Given everything that has happened lately, I felt it was best to go unnoticed while I investigate. If there were hunters around, I'd rather not be the one taken off guard," he said lowly, ignoring the fact that he had a white falcon flapping up and down next to him.

"Once I saw you, it was obvious you weren't hunters. So there was no point in remaining hidden."

"Cannot be too careful," he shrugged.

The words Ben said caught Shun's attention. Burnt up real bad? In they were talking about recent events, it sounded like this Reaper had gotten herself caught up in the little invasion of sorts that had happened not too long ago. He didn't recall seeing her there, but then again, there were a lot of students involved in that ******** style="color: darkgoldenrod">"Many were burned that day, if you're referring to what I'm thinking of."

At the question, he glanced over at Yang who had now stopped flapping around to take a little break.

"Nothing. He's still a fledging. Hovering is how he builds up strength for real flight," he replied, "He may be seeking out the other bird though. A falcon like him only black in color. She should be somewhere around here."

That confirmed that they had been around for that fiasco. Shun recalled the strange suffocating feeling he had once the trap had been triggered. It had slowly drained him before he ended up getting caught in that barrier which took out nearly the rest of his FEAR.

"The name's Shun," he replied to the roo with a nod, before glancing over at Lark who had apparently located Yin.

When she walked on over, the dark bird of prey peered up, puffing out her feathers slightly at the sight of the stranger. She was always a little more wary of new people than her brother.

Speaking of him, Yang took notice of this and started to make his way over, bouncing up with more flaps of his wings. It was hard to say if he was trying to move there faster or trying to show off. Either way, Yin glanced at him, then just looked away, as if annoyed.

Shun didn't quite catch the last comment, but he took a few steps over so that he could see the other young one more easily.

"Settle down, Yin. She won't hurt you," he said to the bird. At least he thought Lark wouldn't. If she did well then she would have quite a bit of a problem on her hands right then and there.

Yin glanced up at her master, then looked back at Lark. Her feathers were slowly easing down. It still looked like she was a bit wary. At least it didn't look like she was going to try and bite or anything like that.

Yang stopped jumping around, having gotten tired of doing so. He needed to take a short break before he could try again. At Lark's words though, he gave a small call in response, then began to preen himself.

"Us," Shun said simply, replying to her second question first, "You might have heard the stories in the newspaper and whatnot, claiming they don't exist. Well. They do. The one with the scythe is one of their leaders. They're a group not to be trifled with."

Crouching down, he motioned for Yin to come closer, since she still seemed a little apprehensive. The dark bird came on over, settling down more readily when she was closer to the Grim. There, she received a gentle pat to the head.
