Geil looked over at the deer when mozer began removing bits of it to eat, it was always interesting to see how various people went about consuming their meals... It usually showed something about their character, whether they were messy and fast or careful and slow... And what parts they went for... But after a few moments Geil decided to take alittle bit for himself, but instead of working with his claws he went and got a knife, then returned and cut off a piece for himself, going for the tastier bits first.
He had to use a knife or his teeth... he filed his claws regularly to keep from... Scratching people, and now they were rather useless for rending flesh. So he used the knife to saw off pieces, and then carefully ate them, making sure to get the absolute minimum amount of blood on himself in the process.

Mozer was a neat eater, but he couldn't keep the same degree of clean as Geil. He stopped to watch the tsume eat for a moment. Sera ate rather like that. How interesting. After another moment of watching he went back to his own meal, eating with the swiftness borne of long training.
Once done, he retreated a short ways to begin cleaning up. Smooth pink tongue set to work on his claws to clean out the blood and bits that got stuck there as he tried to not think about wot was ahead. On the one paw, he'd like to simply run away, but, as he knew he wouldn't he'd rather just get it over with. But it wouldn't be over for awhile, at least not until Geil said so and that caused the frisson of fear right back through him again.
Deep breaths, Mozer, you're fine. Geil isn't hurting you.

Geil carefully licked his fingers clean, and then continued and cleaned the knife... It might not seem incredibly sanitary, but the likelyhood that you were going to be exchanging saliva with Geil whilst in this cave was rather likely anyways... And he was pretty much the only person that ever used a knife. He then replaced it from where he had retreived it, in a box under one small table/ledge.
It was almost like Geil was reading Mozers mind as he began to spoke again. "So Mozer... How long do you think the Gryvern will be ok without you around? And no, I do not planning on making you my slave for years or anything... Maybe a week, or two at the most." He said before sliding up beside the gryvern, and giving him a quick lick to clean a spot that had been missed. Mmm <3

Mozer jumped slightly at the lick, but forced himself still otherwise. You aren't being hurt, you aren't being hurt.
"I don't know," he answered honestly, trying to keep himself under control and not just blindly react. "I have disappeared for a day or so before, but anything longer than 3 days I've always been sure to leave a message of some sort." It didn't occur to him to lie. He was working his hardest to be sure the gryvern could function without him. It wasn't until the move to Crest that he had suddenly become the answer to all questions, even if he wasn't best-suited to do so.
The gryvern wasn't certain if he was relieved by the fact that Geil wasn't going to keep him years, or afraid of the fact that he'd be here a few weeks. Wot if the gryvern -did- have addictive personalities? Would he lose who and wot he was because of this? He tensed again at the thought, eyes staring blankly across the room as he contemplated that thought.

Geil giggled slightly when Mozer jumped, This really wasn't really so bad was it? what was wrong with a bit of a vacation... He didn't have to answer any annoying questions, nor deal with any crisis's for awhile... It would be good for them to learn a bit more independence anyways.[/b] "I hope no one comes looking for us..." he said then pressed up against the gryvern once more... This time it was a bit more suggestive though. He was so warm... And Beautiful wasn't he?[/b]
Mozer would most likely find his heart racing again, although this time it would be for a Much different reason.

The gryvern didn't think he'd ever heard a male anything giggle and not sound. . . well, outright stupid. That in itself was rather amazing. Mozer swallowed hard and let his eyes slide away as he focused on breathing. His mind was a whirl of conflicting thoughts, but he could still pick out most of the ones that weren't actually his. He could not, however, stop his body's reaction. "I wouldn't count on no one looking for us," he answered and his voice sounded breathless again. He didn't bother trying to sound normal however. It was a losing battle. "You come on rather strong."
The gryvern decided that he would do his best to not try for some form of self-pride. He knew resistance was futile and the best chance he had to come out of this somehow as still himself was to just give in. The deer was too graphic of an example to ignore, even though he knew Greil didn't want to hurt him. And that thought, he wasn't certain if it was his own or one given to him.

Geil was rather talented when it came to making weird noises... >.> Moving along.
He grinned and nudged mozer back towards the other side of the cave alittle bit, nuzzling the side of his neck with a small sigh. "I suppose tommorrow we will have to move yet again then..." He hated all that dodging around stuff... Tommorrow he'd just use that teleport thingy to go somewhere really far away. "As much as I'd like more company... We will be moving tommorrow." He said with a long sigh as he maneuvered the gryvern back towards the bed.
What could he say? Geil always lost his resolve in the long run unless someone slapped him... Or he had some pressing reason to. "I tend to do that." He said with a small chuckle.
And then... It got worse, Very very much worse.

Several hours after Terein and Natalya returned to Crest another portal opened by the stream and a large Dark gryvern stepped through, horned head up as dark eyes scanned the area immediately. He was followed by the same slim, rainbow-touched grey form and an equally bright female.
"I'm telling you," Terein said quietly. "If Mozer hasn't returned by now it's better to just leave it alone. He can take care of himself."
"Which way did they go?" the low voice was directed at him even as the Warriour's gaze remained focused outwards.
Terein sighed and pointed towards the plateau the pair had been heading for when he left. "But I'm stepping out of this one," the dragon said firmly. "I've seen enough of that tsume to last me a lifetime." He turned a questioning gaze to the female.
Mahu-ike shook her head at the silent question. Casimir had asked her to accompany him in hopes she could help track, though that wasn't her job. But Samir, their only Hunter, seemed to be missing, and she was the next best thing. She guessed.
"You've done enough." And the Warriour was off through the darkened skies that threatened with the early break of day. Mahu sighed and gave Terein a swift 'bye' before she was off after him. Terein watched them go with concern, then shook his head and went back through the portal.
Casimir moved swiftly, especially for one of his size, but soon they were atop the plateau and the Warriour was looking at the shuffling tracks. Mahu moved with him, noting Mozer's long strides, a few faltering steps, and then the last scuffle that must have ended it. She was a little confused, however, as to why Mozer would just collapse as he apparently had.
Casimir brought his nose low, sniffing twice. "That's Mozer's." He turned and moved towards the edge that Mozer had taken Geil down from the day before. His nose flared and he stared downwards curiously. His eyes scanned swiftly, barely catching the glint of water through the trees. "We go downwards."
Mahu nodded, and continuted to follow the Warriour without a word. She wasn't entirely certain why she was here now; Casimir seemed to have everything well in paw.
---
Mozer came awake suddenly, something he had learned during the battles with the Poisontail. His long head came up and he carefully moved to detangle himself from the furred form on the bed. Some instinct had warned him and his eyes flicked around the room uneasily before he turned back. He gave a brief, low chuckle at the pink eyes watching him intently. "I think someone's coming," he offered simply. He had a guess as to who it would be, too. A very good guess if Terein happened across Casimir when he had returned to Crest.

Geil got up and yawned, stretching a little bit before he walked over and nuzzled the gryvern caringly. "Then you should eat something if you feel you will be hungry soon... Because we'll have to leave it." He then proceeded to go and turn out the light, and stash all the breakable stuff out of the way... It took him a whole ten seconds to do. but then he got an idea, he could leave a note for his friends... So he quickly pulled out a piece of paper and a crude charcoal pencil, writing down quickly.
'Dear companions of Mozer, I can assure you of his safety but please stop looking for us... Mozer is taking a short vacation, and thinks that you all should try thinking for yourselves for a little while... Even though he doesn't like the idea of abandoning you in such a manner, He will most definitely be back.
Be patient.
- Geil <3'
Yes, he even signed a small heart after his name, it was amazing how elegantly he wrote the note, and then left it on the table... Grabbing one of the perfume jars quickly, and spraying it in here... It thoroughly masked their scents and whatever -else- might be smelt within here... These actions undoubtedly gave Mozer enough time to eat if he was so inclined.
And then a portal opened on the back wall of the cave, just behind the bed... Made some amount of sense considering that's the most likely place Geil would be if he needed to escape... But he let Mozer go first, and then would follow afterwards.

Mozer did eat a bit more of the deer, but Geil's reaction to his announcement was a lot more interesting just then than his stomach. He couldn't help another sneeze at the stronge perfume in the air, shaking his head. "Why do you always make me sneeze?" And he headed through the portal without a look back.
---
Casimir followed Mozer's scent to the stream; he knew Mozer as well as he knew himself. They had been best friends forever, it seemed. Mahu trailed along behind him, just watching as the Warriour followed the smell himself, leaving her to watch their backs. They had a fairly easy trail to follow, though, so she didn't worry about it too much. Someone didn't appear to be planning an ambush.

Geil laughed and pushed the gryvern forward through the portal, even though he was going through on his own, just to expedite things... And because it was amusing. "Just because I love you." He said sarcasticly and moved through the portal himself, it shrinking down to nothing as the tsume passed through leaving no sign that there had ever been one in the cave to begin with...
However on the other side of the portal they appeared to be in a much warmer climate... It was about the way Geil liked it, although not very humid luckily... And it was also Very far from where the previous hide out had been, and none of his previous uh, Lovers lived in this area. "It's been so exciting since I met you..." He said then licked the gryverns cheek again.

"Exciting?" Mozer asked. "You're not usually battled to the death then tracked down by overzealous friends?" He seemed to ponder that. "I hope things don't get anymore exciting." In his book, this wasn't even close to exciting, but it was nicer to not think about it, really. So he let his gaze scan the area in an instinctive gesture. "So where are we now?" He shifted his weight, subconsciously resting against the tsume.
---
Mahu stared at the overgrown area with a wary expression. "Casimir, it seems. . . "
But the Warriour didn't listen, instead pushing through. . . somehow and then only his tail was evident. Mahu blinked in surprise and quickly pressed in after the larger gryvern. She looked around in surprised amazement even as a single glance proved that neither Mozer nor the tsume were anywhere to be seen. Casimir have a low growl, turning to head back out when Mahu caught his attention with a quiet, "Oh! Wot's this?"
The Warriour turned as the Explorer tilted her head and read Geil's note aloud. Dark purple eyes narrowed dangerously and there was a sudden swirl of darkness through the room. Mahu froze, unwilling to move as she felt the wave of destruction sweep past her. Then the light returned and Casimir's tail was disappearing through the entrance. She blinked in surprise at the remains of wot she knew had once been a bed, then she carefully picked up the note and went after him, wondering wot they would do now.

Geil seemed to ponder this, he took a little bit more time than was expected so the answer he gave was... Well more expected. "I rarely fight people, and usually if the person I find has friends they have no idea where to search." He answered with a shrug then suddenly jumped up onto Mozers back, something that he was probably rather used to by now... "Let's go check it out from the sky, I'v only seen ground level thus far." He said then clung to the larger creature, although this time was confident enough to look around with his head rather than keeping it plastered to the gryverns side.
The area was much more like chaos hills than the rest, although a bit warmer... One could assume once you got used to this temperature that Geil would no longer seem exceptionally warm. "Giddyup Gryvee." He said with a huge grin on his face... It sounded exceedingly cute, and it was amazing how he could say or make pretty much any noise and not just sound stupid...

Mozer gave another low laugh, heading upwards carefully. It was a nice area, Mozer observed with interest. At Geil's teasing he gave a small buck, done carefully so as to not lose the Sin. "It seems wise that you not fight; you're just a little too. . ." he couldn't think of a good description. "You, I guess. You need a bodyguard, Geil." That seemed to hang in the air between them for a long moment.
Mozer abruptly decided to change the subject. "How did you find this place?" he asked quietly.

Geil made a small squeek at the buck, and clung tighter for a moment, although it was obvious he exaggerated the amount it had shaken him. "Volunteering?" He asked jokingly about the comment on needing a body guard, That definitely would help a bit but... He didn't feel like dragging someone along with him everywhere, and what were the chances of a guardian choosing him to watch over? Not good.
When he asked how he found the place Geil shrugged. "I hear alot of things... And when I asked if someone knew a warmer place I was told about this place... And afew others." The last bit he barely witheld a chuckle, allowing Mozer to attempt to figure out that joke.
Hmm... It was very pretty from up here, it was a pity that it was impossible for Geil to do something like this on his own. Lacking wings or other such abilities.
