Emberpaw pads around, nose to the ground. Crimson tackles him to the ground and he yips, tussling for the fun of it. They play as you set your tent up, the two pheonix perching on the top and Shootingstar grazing on the pretty looking wildflowers, periodically looking at the setting sun curiously. Numbat sighs. "You know, it's been a while since I've been up here," he says, a smile on his face. "This far north, that is. Forgot how much nicer it is to the barren, volcanic Southern territories of my people."

"I agree it's nice up here," I say while watching the pups play.

"If only I had fire..."

Meehhh... maybe he's Nico's half brother?) Knight pads right over to the still-blazing fire, sitting down and playing with his dragon plush. Malindi peeks through from the other room. "Thought it was you two. Always crashing about the place - honestly, you'd think there was an elephant in here! Not that you get elephants in Anaia, but I hear there's a land out there where they roam in the wilds." She looks curiously at Knight's toy, a grin curving her lips. She then looks at you again. "Where's Balthur?"

(I mean, usually I label Newt as being allergic to pomegranates and liking pineapples and Nicote like pomegranates but can't have pineapples. DOn't ask. IDK how they're still identical, maybe due to that twins-can-have-different-dormant-hand thing something similar?)


"Dunno. Around."

He pats his pockets, taking out a flint and steel and then fetching a few branches from his pack. "I can make a fire - but I can't hunt all that well. Can you catch us some food?"

"Well, unless you've been hiding fire magic up your sleeve, there's nothing we can do about it. There isn't anything to feed a fire with around here, and we'd be leaving ourselves open to attack with a fire acting as a beacon to our position," he ponders. "But we also can't sleep out in the open tonight. We'll have to find some kind of shelter, or town or city."

He rises into the air to get a better view of the surrounding plains. No creature-made structure stands out right now.

(Who knows when you'll need a stick to bash someone with? This Centaur knows what he's doing :P)

As he leads the charge between houses and along alleyways, the sounds of pursuit close behind, each breath comes more laboured than the last. You're tiring fast at this pace, your air magic just not enough to keep you running.

The other Centaur seems to notice that you're lagging behind and looks irritated. "Seems like we'll need to disappear," he says to you over his shoulder, changing direction suddenly.

You barely make it to where he leads you - a horse ranch. It's where a wealthy trader keeps horses in rather shoddy conditions to sell cheaply to those passing through. The critters are kept in a large pen built over a scrubland. Various trees and shrubs grow inside, horses wandering among them.

The Centaur leaps over the fence with finesse, you barely managing not to trip up and landing hard. You watch as he darts over to one of the collections of shrubs, sticking his front half in. He immediately merges in with the rest of the herd - just another horse, with its head stuck in a bush.

(Yeah, makes sense. Maybe Newt is actually allergic, but he's managed to find or make some sort of tonic to combat the allergy perhaps?)

She snorts. "Hopefully not pushing himself too hard."

Knight snorts and rolls his eyes - Balthur certainly hasn't been doing anything of the sort.

(And of course he's not telling Nico ;P)


"Yeah right. He's totally not pushing himself."

"There's nothing nearby..."
