It was a very quiet day with Jedrek. Renem had barely anything to talk about anymore. And whatever he did bring up. He would only receive short blunt responses that made it difficult to carry out a conversation.
It was not that Renem disliked being with Jedrek, but he could surely name a couple of other Numa he would rather spend time with.
Carefully following the sound of Jedrek’s foot falls. Grateful the other Numa would warn him against candy rocks and peppertrees at least. Something Jedrek had to learn how to do, and now seemed to do instinctively
“are we going somewhere?” Renem finally asked when he could not longer recognize the scent of the aria around them
“no” Jedrek’s dry response came, followed by a strange slurping sound he often made
“… Just… looking for that Coffee stuff?” he confused feeling awkward
“…yup”

Xiang was hanging out above numa numa land, just flying with out aim, his mind was on a certain night sky pelt, it had been too many days since he's last spent anytime with the numa he thought about most. He dipped and rose i the air diving at chocolate frogs half-heartedly, when he spotted him, heat rushed Xi's already heated cheeks and he called out,
"Hullo~" and put his form into a steep dive, pulling out his wings at the right moment and making a very nice landing, the practice had paid off and Xiang was happy with his flight abilities.
"Good afternoon Renem," he quelled the urge to hug the dark male and instead nodded to Jedrek, "and to you friend of a friend." He grined a silly little grin for now he was in a very good mood.

Renem paused mouth falling open slightly as he heard a familiar voice calling out. Straining his ears to try and figure out where it was coming from, his heart leaped to hear the voice suddenly very close.
“Xiang” he said happily, wandering toward the general direction he heard the Numa land, wandering a little off to the left of Xiang, paws held out for feeling better.
Jedrek paused as well, but only when he heard the other Numa. The Coffee slowly turned around, blinking slowly and gazing at the new Numa with his face tilted down slightly, Slited orange on black eyes staring at the glowing numa from under his brow.
Though not in a threatening posture. Seeing as Renem seemed very pleased to have this Numa around. Jedrek just blinked slowly
“hello” he said blankly

Xiang moved sightly to the right and put his own paws out to Renem, to catch him, blushing slightly when they touched.
"How are you Renem?" He gave his full attention to the dark pelted one, until he remembered that another was there, "And you must be Jedrek if I'm not mistaken, Renem has only spoken highly of you. It's nice to meet you."

Feeling his paws make contact with something soft and warm, the only kind of Warm that Xiang let off, he smiled brightly turning his face towards where he guessed the Numa was. “I’m doing good.”
He nodded to confirm that the other Numa he was talking to was Jedrek.
moving close to Xiang he turned his face toward were he could smell Jedrek.
“Jedrek, this is Xiang I told you about.”
Jedrek nodded slowly, sitting down. “well, now I can put a face to the name” he said.
Slurping again as some blood threatened to run from his mouth.
He eyed Renem for a moment, not really expecting to have been talked about; he would not say it surprised him. amused him maybe.
“yeah. I’m Jedrek” he said crylie again
Renem got a slightly concerned look on his face and he turned it back towards Xiang
“Jedrek’s been looking for something called Coffee for a while. He’s been acting pretty strange... Since it’s been a while since he had any… do you know where we could find any?” he lowered his voice still “Jedrek’s usually a lot… well… more polite I guess is the word.”

Xiang kept his paws on Renem's form, just this small touch made him sing inside and when Renem moved close to him he smelled dark chocolate, made sweet comming off his crush.
"Don't worry about it." He murmured, not taking offence in the slightest, his own father was a numa of few words. To the query of coffee Xiang was a little puzzled, he had not heard of a candy called coffee before, "Coffee? I'm not sure... What does coffee look like or smell like, maybe I have seen some before." He turned his head from one male to the other hoping to be useful.

Renem shook his head to show that he to had no idea what Coffee was. Turning his face towards where he could smell Jedrek, he could hear the Coffee numa give an exasperated sign
“Well for one” Jedrek started “I don’t expect it to be in this land of candy”
he scowled softly though other wise looked very apathetic. “only play I know where to get coffee, would be the Molasses swamp… or somewhere close to it”
He glanced towards the direction he had been headed,
he acknowledged that it would not have been a very good place to bring Renem, but at the time he did it. He could honestly say he cared even less then usual.

"Why don't we all go there together, seeing as we're close, it could be fun and if we find coffee all the better. Do you mind Jedrek, if I come along?"
Xiang just wanted to be near Renem, helping Jedrek was a happy side effect, and he also wanted an up close tour of the Swamp, as it was.
"Do you hail from the Swamp, Jedrek?" Xi tucked his wings against his back so that they wouldn't knock into either of the others while they walked.

Jedrek had turned his back to them and started walking as he answered Xiang’s question
“Born there, raised there, died there” he answered simply, slurping again, followed by a rather odd snapping sound.
Renem blinked a couple of times; he had heard Jedrek say that a couple of times, but never quite understood what it meant. Dismissing it as just joking.
Keeping close to Xiang as all times, feeling more comfortable to be in physical contact with him. This was he would not be scared of getting lost. feeling VERY pleased Xiang was comeing with them

Taking the fact that Jedrek seemed to be leading them, as a yes to his first question, Xiang plastered a happy smile across his maw. The fact that Jedrek seemed to be a zombie or something of the sort didn't phase Xi really, he knew that everyone was different and those differences were good, he just had a thought that if the green numa had died in the Swamp, that maybe it wasn't the safest place to adventure...
"What's it like, I've seen it from the air, but if you've lived there, could you tell us anything we should know, dangers to be aware of? I'm really interested because I've never been there myself." he spoke loud enough to include Jedrek, slipping into talking because he was a bit nervous.

Jedrek waited a while turning over the question Xiang had asked him in his head. Dangers? Well…. Sure he supposed there were dangers. But it was his home; he didn’t really think it was dangerous. And he could not remember what he would be scared of, if anything when he was still living. Jutting his jaw to the side, and snapping it back into place as he thought, he paused and turned around to face the two
“Can’t help you there” he said, “I guess the only thing I could give you. its to stay out of other Coffee’s way. we aint the cheery bunch you lot are”
Renem was looking more and more nervous the closer they got to the Swamp. Eyes wide, he moved himself as close as he could to Xiang. “w what’s that smell?” he asked his voice shaking a bit. it was not a sweet smell like the candy land was. It was strong, powerful, he didn’t like it.
Jedrek just smirked at him “that’s mah home”

Trees of licorice and sticky, black-looking ground, Xi did not like the look of the Swamp at all, the idea that this would be fun flew from his head as if it had grown a pair of wings. Xi stopped yards from where the ground started looking swampy, with Renem huddling so close to him he didn't think that the sky colored male wanted to venture any farther in than he did.
But what about Jedrek?
"I-I'm not going any farther in." Xiang blurted out, "I'm sorry Jedrek, I'd said that I would help you to find coffee, but I can't go in." Xi spoke the last slower, he felt scared to think of going in and he hoped that Jedrek wouldn't think less of him. But he just couldn't, he hoped that Renem would opt to stay too.

Jedrek just continued on. Cackling at Xiang’s words “I don’t need help from here”
He paused a moment to glance back at the Numa’s “this is my home”
Thinking he would see them back in the land of candy, he sunk into the goopy dark and almost deadly looking Molasses, disappearing underneath it.
Renem just stood there, clinging to Xiang, blinking his eyes furiously, and sniffing around desperately for a smell he recognized.
Feeling amazingly relieved that Xiang was not going to go into the swamp, wondering silently what would have happened if Jedrek had taken him here with out Xiang, well at least Jedrek sounded more content.
”Xiang” he said quietly, in a voice full of concern

"H-he just sunk into it..." Xiang didn't know why the smell made him so fearful, "Jedrek seemes like a tough charater, I'm sure he'll be okay and come back swiftly." When he noticed Renem's sniffing he leaned against the other male, "Let's move back from here so that we're clear if this smell."

As he felt Xiang lean in closer, he felt his cheeks blush as he finally caught the scent of something he knew, to stressed to think of the exact candy, but it was cinnamon flavored.
It calmed him down a bit. but he was still quite eager to leave when Xiang suggested it. Nodding quickly “I didn’t know it smelled so bad here.” he let out a small nervous laugh
Still concerned about Jedrek, he was sure that Xiang was right, if Jedrek really was from here. A “coffee” as he was told, and then maybe it was not so dangerous for him.
