Winter's face scrunches up a little, his pale blue eyes like windows into an empty sky. "Nikita.... are you sure you're alright?" His voice, which had once been upbeat and cheerful, is quiet and whispery, with a melancholy tone like the wind in the desert sands. A strand of his hair falls into his face, and he pushes it back with a sigh. For one that is still intact.... I know I'm broken beyond repair, but for Nikita to ask me something so uncharacteristic.... I couldn't stand to see her fall. I hope she's alright.

I huff in thought as I sit with Shadow on the rock ledge next to my head, he looked around in thought 'No longer worried?' He asked and I shrugged gently "nothing to be worried about" I said to him looking around for someone to talk to or for something to do, "I love reading and all... But I want to help" I told him watching around for others.

Nikita nodded to herself and let go of his shoulder { yes, Im fine, dont worry until we get back in the morning. Ill tell you everything then, but first I need to get everyone some food } she said her voice a little less quiet and a little more bouncy. Roman relaxed as her tone changed but she still seemed uneasy and it made the blue sparks of electricity ripple down his fur a bit. { I should probably her to the Mouth to meet the others, where will you be when we get back?} she asked softly

(Sorry its so late!!)

He lets out a soft sigh, as quiet as the wind through a drift of sand. "Here. As always." His fingers tap out a tune on his side. That's always been a nervous habit of his, and Ari would usually bite Winter when he noticed him doing it. "Just..... be careful, alright?"

Nikita | Roman

Nikita smiled and gave him a quick and gentle hug { dont worry so much about me....... } she said before whistling at Roman whos ears shot up and stood connected to her side. { Ill see you when we get back!} she said before running towards the Mouth to catch up with the others

Is everyone ready for the hunt?? I wanna ask so we can all get started at around the same time but if you need a little while longer thats fine

I am ready for it :)

100%

Yep

(I brough Daz to the hunter bunks first in hopes of getting some interactions before the start- Could anyone with a character there lead him to the Mouth? Turning him suddely around on his own would be very unnatural, I fear..)
