Coal walked back over to Melody and sat. Suddenly feeling very tired, she yawned. Curling up, she said softly "when you decide what you are going to do, wake me up, okay?" Melody crouched down and picked Coal up. You sleep. I'll carry you. she said. Melody looked back at Dylan, still waiting for his answer.

Dylan felt his heart go out to the little fae. "Of course, sweety. I couldn't leave all of you to work this out on your own." He nodded to Mel. "Yes, it would... er... be helpful if you could take a look up there. I seem to have gotten turned around at some point."
He had some brushed with demon seeds before, but those were some time ago. The Night Gardens were as good a place as any to start, and he was on good terms with the owner.

Melody nodded and put Coal down. she extended her wings and flew up over the trees. looking around, she spotted a big twisty rock. She landed next to Dylan and picked Coal back up. "All i saw was a big twisty rock. I think it was that way," she said, pointing north.

Dy sighed in relief. They were closer than he thought. "That would be the way. There's a hidden entrance around there." He turned back to Letti. "Medicine, do you mean? Yes, humans use that when they are ill, but you aren't really sick. The seed won't hurt you, and there's always a way to get one out. The garden-keeper will know what to do, you'll see."

Melody looked at him. "Garden Keeper? who is that?" she asked him, unconsciously tightening her grip on Coal. She still wasn't sure if she could trust the others, although Dylan seemed nice. He, at least, had told her his name, even though she hadn't introduced herself.

"She's..." he paused. How do you describe someone like her? She was considered eccentric, even for a demon, and she was one of the few who still cultivated a private Demon Garden. She was well-reknowned as a supplier of rarities in the Market, but she didn't let many people see her actual garden.
"Ginko's a little odd, but she's the closest to an expert on Demon Plants there is."

Melody bit her lip, still unconvinced, but... she looked down at Coal, asleep in her arms. "Do you think she will help?" she asked hesitantly, looking back up at Dylan. If this woman would help Coal, or at least tell her something about this plant, then Melody was ready to take the risk of traveling with this group of strange people.
(OOC: Melly hasn't forgotten about the others, she just doesn't trust them yet. She trusts Dylan because he invited her to come along)

Viktor continued humming, before yelping in a highpitched voice, rather loudly, and clawing his way up the nearest tree, where he crouched, hissing at a patch of grass that looked like someone he knew. Or used to know. Or hallucinated. Calming down, he tried to lower himself out of the tree, but used his left hand, slipped, and fell in a heap on the ground. He immediately resumed hissing at the bit of grass, blaming it for making him fall.
Presently, he stopped hissing, seemed to forget about the whole ordeal, and resumed humming his favourite tune. Looking up from the ground where he was seated, he wondered out loud, "Are we going to go were we're going yet?"

Melody stared at the zombie. "What?" she said, startled by his actions. Coal opened a sleepy eye. "Hey, keep down," she said drowsily, before sutting her eye and going back to sleep.

"What? What? WhatwhatwhatWHAT?" Viktor appeared puzzled. The dragon-holding-girl had addressed him with a 'what', which was never a good sign. He blinked a few times, looking rather dazed, before resuming humming. "Didn't do aaaannything... No, no, no I didn't."

"Faery-type thing? Where have you gone...?" Viktor's brows furled. Letti was still there... But not really. He almost gave her a good poke to joly her awake, but stopped himself, remembering the freaky little plantyness that had appeared on his hand. His GOOD hand. Viktor immediately wanted to tear the thing off, and growled at it, and looked for a moment like he was going to gnaw it to bits.

Melody looked a little freaked out. she stepped closer to Dylan, keeping an eye on the zombie and the fox girl. "How far is it to this market?" she asked Dylan nervously.

"Not far." He was giving Letti an odd look. "Letti, honey, could I take a look at you?" He had been sure that Demon Plants adapted to their hosts, but fairies were a tricky species, and Letti was acting odd. Then again, she was quite small, it could just be that she was beginning to feel the effects before the others. "I think we ought to get moving as soon as possible. She will help, she... owes me one." Which was true, in a way. She knew who he was, and most people who knew that were willing to do a favor now and then.

Viktor beamed. "It is friends with this other one? Was it the one who gave it the pretty-feathery-coat?" he was fully concious at the moment, which was a rarity... And a fully awake Viktor became dangerously inquizitive. He stared off into space, awaiting further instructions.

Suka sat, feeling sort of left out. She also felt sad that she had made Lettichan cry! But she didn't wanna be possessed again!

Melody decided to try and get to know everyone. After all, it appeared that they were going to be traveling together for a while, so she walked over to the fox girl. "Hi," she said softly," my name is Melody." Coal opened her eyes and yawned. "Hi,"she said, struggling out of Melody's arms and hopping to the ground. She walked over tho the zombie and stared at him.

...And Viktor stared back. Dragon? This was a little one... Viktor had allways felt a kinship with dragons. Maybe it was just because of his ear and his left foot... His mind and his vocal chords struggled to align again, and this time succeeded. "Lookies! It's a dragon! Hello, Dragon!"

Coal blinked, then smiled. "Hi! I'm Coal. Who are you?" she said, laughing at the zombies enthusiasm

Viktor appeared puzzled for a mere instant, before beaming and announcing it as a law of nature, "My name is Viktor." he looked her over once, and then wondered aloud, "Is called Coal because of the colour of it's scales? What kind of dragon is this Coal?"

Coal smiled again. She liked this strange zombie. "Yes, i'm called Coal because of my scales and because of my breed. I'm a night dragon," she said, curling up by Viktor.

" My name's Suka!" She smiled broadly, and stuck out her hand to shake.

Viktor wondered who she was trying to shake hands with, and pondered on it for at least half a second, which was more than usual, and used his claw to scratch the back of his head. When it came back, it was covered in dark blood. He seemed completely unfazed, and even oblivious to the fact that the back of his head was now bleeding. He blinked once, or twice, depending on who was paying attention, and then smiled slowly and held out his good hand, the glovelike one that the plant had sprouted out of, and shook her hand furiously, and rather literally.

Suka's eyes widened, breaking the corners of her face. O_______O "Ehehehehe.... Umm... Yeah.... I was going to shake Melody-san's hand...... but... *strained smile* Hello... Viktor, was it?" Suka had remembered Mr. Bishounen.... No, Dylan, had said not to be mean. So she wouldnt.

Viktor sat back down next to the dragon, and proceeded to play cat's cradle with a bit of invisable string, and only succeeded in tangling it around his glove hand, much to his distress. He narrowed his eye at it, and then decided he was tired of the game, and so the bit of non-existant string stopped existing, even in Viktor's jumbled thoughts.

Suka shuddered and backed away slightly. Into a tree. She fell.

Viktor pounced over as she fell, concerned. "Is it ok? Has it broken any of it's bones? CAN IT HEAR ME?!" he craned his neck around to see better, hissing softly under his breath. "Suka?"
