Casimir blinked, briefly stunned. Kolya was nearby? His brother avoided him like the plague. He moved easily forward to stand slightly before and beside Jaradka, face serious as he silently scanned the two gryvern at the cave entrance. The Fire female didn't look like she would let anyone walk over her, then he saw the bird tattooed on her hip. Ah, that at least was clear.
"Have you mentioned your intentions to my brother?" Casimir asked quietly. "He doesn't care for my company."
"Mikhael's going to rip out Havrani's throat and you're just concerned about a little sibling rivalry?!" Mahu abruptly explodes, then looks up at Jaradka and suddenly shuts up. Oh, good job, Mahu. Tick off the giant dragon thing! She turned her head slightly away, staring at the ground in consternation.
"Mikhael?" Casimir echoed, surprised again. This shouldn't have surprised him, really. Most of the crazy gryvern died. . . only Mikhael had managed to keep on surviving. A brief sense of loss pierced his breast; he and Mikhael had been coming close before the. . . Incident.
Dark eyes flicked up to his mate, "We must go. He is dangerous prey."
---
Natalya was pleased that Rastko didn't seem overly aware of wot she was doing. She was concerned about his energy levels once she finished. Healing only did wot occurred naturally. . . simply. . sped it up. Rastko would likely have to take it easy a few days before his energy levels were back up to normal.
---
"You keep making noises, Mage," Mikhael said darkly as he nuzzled his mate. "And nothing comes of them." He sneered at Kolya. "Havrani wants me here. If you are so determined to separate us, you'll just have to try harder." His tail twitched around, the straggly strands dancing as one would tease a kitten.

She looked at Aniol and made a slight bow with her head, "I am Hunter Jaradka." She responded in no less of a threatening tone, however she had given up on looking intimidating... Well, any more than usual atleast. "Prey, Prey have such nice names..." She moved a bit closer to Mahu and leaned down to inspect her more closely, one couldn't help but get the feeling she was trying to figure out how long the meat on her bones would last.
The truth behind that action was she wasn't sure if the sudden explosion of feelings had offended casimir and would probably have told her to apologize, or something along those lines if Casimir hadn't suddenly said that they had to go after dangerous prey. Was it as dangerous to them as her? Probably not. But she waited for the others to lead, she needed more information than 'it's dangerous' and a name to find something out here. "After the prey?" She asked/stated as she withdrew slightly from Mahu's space.

Rastko blinked his heavy eyelids. He wanted to stay alert, but whatever the pretty Earth female was doing to him was making that hard. The hunter had to concentrate hard to find his voice, hiding from him somewhere deep in his throat.
With difficulty, he managed to say, "So, tell me about yourself, Natalya. Talk to me. Help me concentrate on staying awake."

Aniol stands silent through the show of emotions, his eyes flicking from Casimir to Jaradka to Mahu and then back to the warriour. His oversized tail is wound around his rear legs again, a habit he seems to indulge in whenever tension runs high in a group. "Dangerous prey indeed," he murmurs, ears laying back for a moment.
"Shall I lead the way?" he asks, looking over to Mahu. "Or would you rather?" his tone of voice is thankful. He sees that her outburst had helped their cause more than measured words ever would.
---
Kolya's eye is narrowed, and he stares at the pinned female. Her mate was mad, he could see clearly, as her words seemed to have no effect on him whatsoever. Mad but cunning, he noted, as he had a certain skill at turning words around. For now, she seemed to be safe - if there was such a thing, in the paws of the crimson Trance. He was hesitant to make a move for the time.
"Mikhael.." Havrani whispers in her sing-song voice, trembling from nose to tail-tip. "Mikhael, m-my legs.. I have no feeling i-in my legs.. Let me stand, at least?" she whimpers, returning the affection and licking his nose again.

Mahu wasn't really certain wot to think, she was simply pleased she hadn't grossly offended the pair nor caused an attack, though. . . for a long moment it had seemed as though the tsume was going to take off her head. She wasn't so silly as to think she could win against Jaradka and/or Casimir, and she had even less inclination to attempt it. "You lead," the Explorer answered the Scholar and her voice betrayed her remaining unease.
Casimir gave the tsume a small nod, but her thoughts were inwards, trying to recall all he could about the Trance Warriour. He was considered 'dead' to the gryvern as a whole now. He wouldn't let the Healers close enough long enough to truly discover if his mind was salveable, but the one who had, was it Natalya? No, another, had nearly died in the attempt and hadn't been hopeful of Mikhaels' recovery. Grave news indeed.
---
A faint blush touched the Earth's features, but she kept her eyes on the wound, working slowly to make the scar as small as she could. "Well," she answered softly, frantically trying to think of something interesting. "My birth quad was located near Mozer and Casimir's, so I knew them as I was growing up." She hesitated again, wondering if Rastko would find this even the least bit interesting.
---
"Nothing more to say, Mage?" the Trance male sneered at Kolya. "No other words of wisdom from the failure?"
Red eyes slipped to the blue Trance, eyes dark and violent for a moment. His teeth showed for a moment, before he seemed to recall himself and he asked in a gentle voice, "Are you going to leave me, Havrani? Are you going to run away again?"

"Mozer and Casimir," the hunter murmured, his eyes still closed. "I know the names. Casimir has children now, I believe. I've seen one of his daughters. Quiet little thing. A mix, I hear."
He drew a sharp breath as a little knot of tissue mended itself with particularly enthusiastic conviction.
"Let me know when I can stand up. Do you have siblings? How long have you been in this Reality? Don't stop talking." He paused. "Please."

Jaradka looked between the two as they appeared unsure which one knew the way? did it even matter which was in the lead? No... She didn't think so, but apparently to them it was important, sometimes people didn't make sense. Anyways it seemed like Aniol would be the leader so atleast they didn't dwell on it. "You have a long tail, Aniol prey, you shouldn't hold it so close." she said as she began to circle around him in a rather uh... Predatory manner while waiting for them to take off.

Aniol's eyes hover on the Chaos, flashing momentary unease, then he offers her a small smile. "Indeed it is, huntress, and I see that as more reason to keep it close by." He nods politely to her, and to the other Gryvern, before leaping into the air and speeding back to the other group.
---
Kolya's ears flick back and a soft growl escapes him. He would like more than anything else to injure the crimson, but he sees no way of doing so without the blue being injured as well. He continues to watch, eye flashing with obvious rage, but offers Mikhael nothing in terms of a reply.
"N-no, I will not.." Havrani whimpers, ears laid flat against her skull. "I fear.. I fear for our pups, Mikhael. Please let me stand."
Kolya hesitates at this statement, looking the female over inquisitively. The pups.. They're coming soon, it seems. All the more reason to act carefully. He takes a step forward.

Mahu inched slightl away from Jaradka herself, waiting to take the rear as Casimir glanced onve more to his mate before pushing upwards himself. The large gryvern wasn't nearly as graceful in flight as the Air before him, but he also didn't really care. Especially with his mind filled with the upcoming problems; his brother and Mikhael.
---
Natalya's ears flicked uncertainly, but she continued on, "I also have heard of Casimir's offspring, but I've not yet met any of them. I have no siblings yet, but my parents are still alive. We all moved to Crest a few weeks ago. We enjoy it there greatly so far, and you are done." A hint of confidence re-entered her tone as she finished the healing, stepping slightly back to give him room. There was a scar, just as she feared, but it wasn't as bad as she had first thought it would be. "Be careful, there may be some weakness when you first use it. That should fade completely with a day or two." She paused. "That was a very deep wound."
---
Pups. . . pups. . . she could easily see his mind working. "I can't have pups," his voice was strangely gentle in its confidence about this fact. "That Reality. . . it twisted me. . . " Anything else he might have said was shorn at the quick at the Mage's one step. In an instant the crimson Trance was gone from Havrani's side and shooting towards Kolya in a stream of violence and sudden rage.

Jaradka flapped her wings several times before actually taking off, sending waves of dust and debris outwards in the process... She still thought it was so strange to see them move through the air, she had decided it wasn't entirely snake like so stopped calling them 'sky snakes' and had switched back to gryvern, or prey for the most part... She flew as elegantly as something which was preparing to switch around and take one of them out at any moment... And in truth this was because she really, Really wanted to just tackle one of them out of the sky as they made their peculiar movements through the air... So close... But No! They had purpose. They needed to... Hunt something? Or were they going to help something? She wasn't sure anymore, or maybe she hadn't even known in the first place.
Of course she stayed right beside Casimir, giving just enough room to keep from knocking him around with her wings, or the gusts created by them. "Are we going to kill this Mikhael prey?" She asked, Slowly she was learning that asking questions got answers but... Well, she had a hard time coming up with good questions...... Or atleast non evil or insane sounding ones.

Rastko rose to his feet stiffly, flexed the muscles experimentally, grimaced with the lingering pain, and bowed low to the young healer.
"A deep wound then deserves deep thanks," he said formally. "I am forever in your debt."

Kolya leapt into the air as soon as he noticed Mikhael's movement, shooting away from the crimson bullet. He hissed with rage, pulling his tail to his body as he rises into the air, ears flat against his neck. Things had obviously gone on for long enough in his mind, and it was time to put this twisted creature to rest. The air around the mage practically hummed with unused energy as he focused on his mage gem, preparing an attack. The temperature around him seemed to be increasing as well..
Havrani cried out, her emotions torn completely between fear for the mage and fear for her mate. Oddly enough, she had little fear for her own well-being, which might have been considered useful in the current situation.
---
Aniol moved with the kind of urgency rarely experienced, the wind whipping his mane and tail straight back. His eyes were locked on the clearing ahead, and as he saw the crimson form leap into the air, he slowed, glancing at his companions.
"It would appear.." he said, eyes flashing. "That the situation has escalated."
(haha, when I finished this, the topic was at 666 views XD;;; )

Natalya flushed again, but the Earths' conversation was interrupted by Mikhael's sudden explosion of movement. She gave a small cry of alarm, skittering sideways to bump softly into Rastko's side. Immediately she turned to check on him, afraid she had hurt him.
----
Mikhael continued towards the Mage faster than any normal gryvern, an offset of his passive Warriour abilities. A dark shroud covered him suddenly, draping Kolya in the unnatural dark as well. Being Dark himself, it wouldn't completely cover his vision, but it was strong enough that the Mage would have difficulty seeing. For being insane, Mikhael had extraordinary control over his abilities and body. In another moment he was shooting by the Mage, claws extended to rake down Kolya's side.
----
Casimir hesitated briefly, catching the first sight of his brother he had seen in. . . . in a long time, indeed. And then Mikhael and Kolya disappeared in a large, black blot in the air. Such a trick wouldn't affect Casimir once he got closer, but it was strong, nevertheless. Kolya likely wouldn't be able to dispell it on his own.
Mahu stared in amazement at the dark blot in the air, then her attention drifted back to Havrani; the female Trance looked as though she were about to leap into the air after them herself.
