Citra blinked a few times, a blush reddening the tops of her cheeks. "Oh no–I don't think–" She cleared her throat before looking away. "I do not mind being the bridge between the two of you." She said finally.
(Yikes…I actually forgot this existed…)
Frost finished cleaning her staff and began to put away the cloth she'd used to do so.
Piper laughed, and stood up, holding out her hand to Citra. "Come on, let's go to the others," she said with a smile.
Citra smiled, taking Piper's hand and leading her back to the cavern. "I've found our missing friend." She said into the gloom of the cave. She looked between Zol and Frost with a happy grin.
Zol stood and bowed. First to Piper, then Citra. “Greetings.” he said humbly.
Citra leaned over and whispered to Piper. "He said 'hello'." She was teasing her but she thought it would lighten the mood between them
Zol stood still. Silent and submissive.
Citra looked at him, smiling slightly, eyes bright. It as going to be okay. Right? Right.
Frost stood, sheathing her staff as she did so, "I don't know about you but I think we should regroup and figure out where exactly we are going."
(Imma leave this because Artemis hasn't done much.)
(Fare well.)
Zol continued to gaze at Piper, waiting for her to decide the next move.
((Eek! Sorry I haven't been on much!))
Piper stared at Zol, gripping tight onto Citra's hand. Her anxiety started to rise, and she willed herself to calm down, for the sake of the group.
"Hi." Piper's voice was monotone, holding no emotion. Her eyes were as blank and still as a peaceful ocean
Citra glanced between the two, her own embarrassment rising. "I think we should follow Frost…?" She supplied hopefully.
Frost stood there awkwardly… um… what do I do.. and since when were there complications in this group..
Piper turned to Citra, completely ignoring Zol. "I agree. We've been here too long; it's best to move before another monster comes along," She gracefully moved to stand beside Frost, hands behind her back to hide how nervous she was. Piper would hide her feelings until they were safe; emotions made people vulnerable.
Frost steadied herself once more, attempting to break the now extremely uncomfortable silence.. "so does anyone have any idea where we should go? Preferably with no big nasty monsters?" She asked.
Citra's gaze lingered on Zol for a moment before responding to Frost. "Perhaps out of the forest? Seems to be most of the problem."
"Ok.." she said softly "any idea which way?"
Zol’s expression was unreadable. “It matters not to me.”
Citra sighed, running a hand through her long long hair. Gods help me. "I say we follow the….sun?" she threw out the suggestion, hoping it stuck.
Zol spoke up. “I agree. With the sun also rises hope, and life. I say we go with Citra.”
"So we are headed east then?" Said frost as she turned for the caves exit.
"It seems that way," Piper said , following Frost's movements. Her plan was to stay as far away as possible from Zol, and close to Citra, which is going to prove a problem because those two were inseparable.
"Well let us depart then! No use staying here." Citrs said as she grabbed her pack. Her eye's lingered on Zol for a moment longer than necessary before turning to the cave entrance.
Zol started forwards, his staff held firmly in his right hand.
Frost nodded then proceeded to lead the way into the woods. After a few meters she shifted, padding next to Citra as they headed off.
Zol followed, keeping a watch behind them as they went.
(Unless I say otherwise, I’m not going to be on for a while.)
(Ok)
