Mozer was having great fun poking his paw and/or leg through the tuft, continuing to do so as they spoke. He was, however, a bit oblivious to the tension between the pair. "None of our types are evil," he responded, pawing at the tuft. "Some gryvern are, but we left them behind." Among the other evils in their Reality. He spared a brief thought for the Portal Guardians. Yet another fate his Caste had saved him from. Nevertheless, that wasn't something they shared with the outsiders, so he pounced on Angelus' suggestion instead. "Well, we wouldn't want to disappoint Jaradka. Vendsha, are you interested in sharing?" He grinned easily at the pair, taking just one more swipe at the phased tufts. It was funt ot hink about walking through Vendsha while she was actually phasing through him.
-----
Casimir gave the briefest hint of a smile at her reply; he was much the same way, but he still enjoyed having a specific place to go back to sometimes. "If you ever come to Hawkings Crest," he told her. "I would be honoured for you to visit my home."
Astafy gave a startled squeak and swiftly, yet gently, caught the tiny creature. "My word," she muttered softly under her breath, sending a quick scan through Yume. No, the tsume seemed fine, just. . . suddenly asleep. How very, very odd. The Light carefully turned around then and approached Jaradka and Casimir. She put Yume gently on the ground, with a soft-spoken and yet very baffled explanation, "She fell asleep whilst talking to me."

He supposed correctly, Vendsha did not want to offend the gryverns if they were not acustomed to very affectionate displays. Mozer had been good company so far, it probably would be rude to start being too much more involved with each other.
Vendsha had to giggle at Mozer's fascination with her ability. It was too funny to see the gryvern playing with her tail tuft. Having her attention brought to the food however revealed her more predatory side. "No indeed we wouldn't want to disappoint her. I must say I am famished!" she grins and flows toward the carcass like a shimmery ribbon.
"Angelus have you eatened?" she asks knowing he sometimes forgot to have regular meals. Course sometimes he hadn't really forgotten so much as imposed a fast upon himself.

Angelus paused a moment when he said 'left behind' that was rather strange... Because he was pretty sure that meant that they were dead or something but that didn't really effect him, and Mozer did not seem intent on explaining it. He found it pretty amusing how easily he was entertained by playing with Vendsha's tufts... Of course he had been similarly amused at one point himself. "I have eaten, you need not worry about that... And I doubt you two would want to take a bath anyways." He said jokingly in regards to how messily he ate.
After seeing him devour a recent kill it was surprising only his mouth and claws were stained so red, after a few times the people around him would probably be too. And it was probably worse if he decided to Help Wash you off...
~~~
Jaradka seemed rather uh, happy that he said that either that or she just wished to assault him with a couple more gentle nuzzlings, and a lick or two. "Hunter Jaradka Like to see Casimir preys home." she said happily, for a moment seeming to lose that eery sound to her voice... But only barely.
When the small Yume was set down infront of her Jaradka looked over, blinking a few times and then sniffed at it... Yup, just sleeping. "Yume prey, prey not sleep long." she said as she slowly looked up towards Astafy... It seemed almost like Jaradka was contemplating eating the young tsume, but she quickly withdrew from the little one... It made her feel tired when she got that close. And she did not like being tired.

As Mozer didn't have a mate and no real romantic interactions thus far, he'd like be less embarrassed and more curious. In fact, he'd almost definitely see it as more scientific research. However, Astafy almost certainly wouldn't like an intimate display within her immediate vicinity, so their retreat to the food was well-timed.
Egads, it was almost as much fun watching Vendsha fly around and is it was to play with her phasing ability. "If you phased into someone's head and spoke, would it sound any different?" came the rather abrupt question. Usually Mozer could group similiar questions together or at least keep them on topic, but this rather incongruous question just popped in his head and out of his mouth before he even realized he had thought of it. He followed her flight path at a slower pace, more than willing to let her take first shot at the remains. He really preferred hunting on his own; nothing beat the taste of a fresh kill.
-----
Casimir flicked an ear at the new tone, but Astafy was approaching and he was left with the memory of it for later perusal. "Is she alright?" he asked of Yume instead of further digression into his thoughts.
"She's just sleeping," Astafy reassured him, glancing briefly at Jaradka when she got so close to the tiny creature, but the Light relaxed when the large, green tsume backed away again. She was trying to not be quite so judgemental of the frightening creature, but Jaradka just seemed built to frighten those around her. "It was a bit concerning when she just flopped down like that. She almost struck the ground."

Vendsha giggles, "No, I daresay we wouldn't!" There was a slight flush around her cheeks as she still clearly remembered one bath in particular... She smiles satisfied that he'd been taking care of himself, she worried about him sometimes.
She pauses over the kill, "Hmm, I don't know actually, I've never tried that." Vendsha puzzles over the idea of talking while phased into someone else's head. "Would be kind of wierd don't you think?" she chuckles amusedly from her perch in the air above the kill.
The Ethereal was more than alittle bit curious about Mozer's response to her question, how did anyone leave behind Evil of any kind? Most curious....

Angelus began to follow them over, mainly so that he would still be within easy talking distance Since he was not interested in the food. He was walking Casually... Something he rarely did unless he was hiding something, usually he just sort of lumbered around unless He was hiding an injury that was most likely inflicted on himself while no one was paying attention. "You haven't tried that when your awake you mean," he paused then rubbed his head before grinning "It sounds pretty much like normal, except it seems like it's you that's talking." he said as he thought about it... It would probably really hurt someones ear drums if she were to yell while doing that...
~~~
Jaradka shifted her large wings again in somewhat of a shudder, she realized what Yume was doing and didn't like how the little dream never asked before stealing some of her energy. Jaradka did not like getting tired earlier and it was the small prey's fault it had used all of it's own... But she couldn't really bring herself to be angry with such a small and delicate looking creature. She was glad that Astafy would be the one that Yume followed, she was new... She didn't understand what Astafy meant when she said that Yume had almost struck the ground, that did not make sense... Since how could she attack something like that while asleep and falling towards it? Maybe she was just being confusing again. "Jaradka sorry for Astafy, prey." she said sounding well... Very, very creepy. Her normal voice was bad enough without implications of Foreboding doom.
Yume just lay there for a moment or two, sleeping peacefully and quietly... Then she was gone. It wasn't that she had vanished or anything it's just that she went from immobile to very fast in the matter of well... milliseconds. And somehow wound up clinging to Astafy's neck, halfway under the scarf. It almost wasn't obvious she was there until the near, omnipresent 'Eeeee!' sound was heard.

"So her voice would sound more like my thoughts?" Mozer asked curiously. Now that was an interesting thought! Their voices were so incredibly different, maybe it had to do with the sound waves of speaking. . . He physically shook his head to clear the waywardness away and grinned at the pair again. He was unaware of how Angelus usually moved, so he wouldn't realize that the black tsume may or may not be injured again. Blue eyes blinked in interest at Angelus as he wondered, aloud, how Vendsha had managed to try speaking in his head whilst sleeping.
-----
Astafy wasn't entirely certain why Jaradka's voice suddenly seemed worse than before, but she did not that the large tsume abruptly seemed agitated about something. She tilted her head as Casimir turned to regard his mate with curiousity in his eyes. He was about to ask if everything was alright but Yume was up again and had skittered so quickly that he literally took a step back and prepared to defend himself.
Astafy couldn't help a low laugh, trying to eye her neck but only catching glimpses of the tail ends of her scarf. "Yume, are you awake again?" she asked the obvious figuring it would likely amused the white tsume.

Vendsha jerks her head up in surprise, "What?" she asked Angelus genuinely surprised. "Are you saying I phase And talk in my sleep?!" her voice rose alittle high to an incredulous pitch. This was news to her, she had no idea such things were happening during her dreams.
The shock of it momentarily diverted Vendsha's usually sharp awareness of her mate's every motion and thus she did not know he'd injured himself. For the time being anyways. The Ethereal bends down and rips a piece of meat off the carcass. It tore with a soft wet "thrrpt!" sound.

Angelus slowed down then stopped as he watched the two, apparently Mozer had forgotten about the food once again. He was rather absent minded for a scholar. "Not your own thoughts, but it sounds the way your own voice does when you speak." he clarified slightly, before he stretched his wings and yawned, moving his front arms out infront of himself as he lay down to watch the two. "You don't usually talk in your sleep love, but occasionally you do... And you only phase when I accidentally put too much weight on you." he said with a grin, tempted to reach out and demonstrate but figuring she wouldn't appreciate it too much while she was eating.
~~~
Jaradka didn't seem very surprised at the abrubt movement of Yume... But she took a step backwards when her mate did, so that she would remain at his side. She was wondering why he had bothered to move because of the small Tsume, physically she was nothing to worry about... In fact one should probably be more worried if she were to be asleep or unmoving.
Yume giggled and shifted around under the scarf so that she rubbed against the others fur, and so that she didn't have to hang on to remain in place with that oh so convenient tsume holder... (scarf) "Immawake!" she squeaked out to the purple grivern before making more giggling noises. "Ooooh.... Hi hi scaryredspikeyperson! Do you ever poke yourself with your tail spikes?! Cause I know sometimes I wag my tail and if I had spikes it couldhurtandstuff!" she said then waved at them excitedly... She wondered if he would be her friend too! She hadn't actually asked Astafy, but figured it she had pretty much said yes with how she acted... And well, she was already Jaradka's friend.

Mozer watched the pair with a feeling of pleasure. He was unwilling to interrupt the playful banter between the two so moved to the other side of the dead deer-thing and pulled his own bit off, placing on large paw to keep the meat still as he tugged off the meat. Yepp, a bit cooler than his usualy preferences, but he just needed to eat enough to tide him over until he had a chance to hunt himself later.
He pondered wot he'd learned so far today and briefly gave a mental grin at his new friends, wacky and strange or elegant and mysterious as they may be. He certainly hoped this wouldn't be the only time they met; the baffling Angelus, beautiful Vendsha, and crazy Jaradka had made this trip more than worthwhile.
-----
Physical presence wasn't the only thing Casimir worked to guard against, and even had to guard against in his life, but he didn't know wot the tsume was thinking so he didn't explain. He was watching, however, to be sure Yume didn't make and sudden moves towards him. The tiny thing was still exuding calm and all that so strongly that the paranoid Casimir kept fighting it. It just reminded him a bit too much of one or two of those Poisontails.
Dark purple eyes watched Yume warily, answering her question with a careful, quiet tone, "No, I don't poke myself."
"Not anymore at least," Astafy winked at him, remembering a time or two that she had to heal Casimir or even one of the other gryverns, usually Mozer, from a gash or two. "I guess it's a good thing you don't have spikes then," she said to Yume with a grin. "So wot is it like where you come from?"

Jaradka looked at casimir, and noted the strange darker tone and mannerisms... He seemed to be on the defensive for some reason? Maybe Yume was trying to do something to him without asking, or he was unaccustomed to her normal aura of cheerfullness and such. "Yume prey, stop. Casimir prey not like thought changes." She said in her eery voice... Mind changes? That didn't sound especially good.
Yume looked over at Jaradka, seeming slightly surprised but then nodded and said "ok!" happily and then the unnatural feeling stopped. then she looked back up at Astafy and giggled about the comments... She thought it must be hard not to poke people so she agreed with her. "It's uh... Well kind of... Really neat! and there are trees! and uh... Things!" She was definitely one to pay attention to detail, and figure out how to explain them well... Yup.

Astafy sent Jaradka and Casimir a glance, surprise tinging her green gaze, but it didn't seem to be any of her business. . . or, more specifically, Casimir wouldn't -let- it be her business. So she just concentrated on the cute cheeful little thing here, since that was more interesting than trying to get inside the Dark gryvern's head anyway.
Casimir relaxed when all that cheeriness and just. . . stuff stopped assaulting his senses. "Thank you," he told Jaradka softly. He wasn't a cheery fellow and definitely didn't enjoy feeling that strange 'peace with the world' calm when he wasn't at peace with the world and his own calm came from the readiness to fight. Or maybe it was just him. Astafy never hesitated to tell him and Mozer they were strange.
Astafy was rather glad that the tsume didn't have Castes; poor Yume likely wouldn't remember wot it ws, much less how to do it! "Can you find your home again?" the Light couldn't help asking with the tiniest hint of amused trepidation. Maybe she was like, wot was that bird called again? Homing pigeons? Astafy was fairly certain that's wot Mozer had called them. . . the birds that would fly back to their birthplace if they were taken away from it. She just couldn't imagine Yume remembering. . . the tsume seemed so. . . so. . . well. . . ditzy.

Jaradka grinned widely then licked his cheek, before nuzzling him some more... She thought it was funny that Yume's powers worked best on Casimir when she stopped using it, that was pretty strange but it made some sense. At first she tried to keep out the feeling that was created but... She gave up on that awhile ago because it just gave her a head ache and then took over anyways... She had no idea what the look from astafy meant.
Yume grinned and nodded vigorously at astafy, "Yup! It's easy! I could even bring you there! but uh... Alot of tsumes are kind of species-ist? Umm... They don't like other thingies! And eat them!" she said with another nod. before snuggling up closer in the scarf... Somehow. "Can Yoooooo find your home again?" She asked sarcastically.

Maybe it was the power of the subconscious and Casimir had been imagining the whole thing, but he still felt better now. ^^ He, however, was oblivious to all that Jaradka was thinking about, especially as he didn't have any idea how Yume's powers worked. So, he just listened in as Yume and Astafy chatted.
Astafy blinked and was rather pleased to not go see Yume's home. "I could find my home again," the Light replied easily. "But I couldn't go to it." There was a hint of sadness in her voice at that, but she forcibly brushed it away. "My new home is a lot nicer, though I'll have to learn to find it again." She tried to wink at Yume, but as the tsume was in her scarf, she might not see the action.

Jaradka seemed intent on showing her affection to Casimir until she got some sort of reaction <.< so she continued to play around with him, nuzzling the side of his face and leaning against him... She thought about talking to him privately but that generally turned out bad unless the other was ready for it.
Yume giggled again then reached up and touch the underside of Astafy's jaw, rubbing it slightly with a 'awww' sound when she heard that she could not go back home, managing to not sound condescending in the least. "If you ever want to see it again I could do it!" she giggled at the wink and made some more funny squeeky noises before blurting out a sentance or two in a rapid manner. "MyhomeisverynicetooandIhavelotsofneighborsliketsumesanddragonsandthingiesandand....Stuff!" she said before gasping for air.
