"What?" AShton said, looking around. He saw Nychus dash off, yelping about his pack. "wait! I can ask the plants where it is," Ashton called out.

"Yeah. The plants will tell me. They can also guard it until we get to it," AShton explained.

Nychus was suspicious, but thought he could trust Ashton. He had been real nice to him so far. gOkayh Nychus said, still sounding hesitant. Nychus then jumped into the stream, bouncing around inside trying to get a weeks worth of mud off of him while trying not to get too deep. The seeds wouldnft come out but at least his fur wouldnft be caked together with dirt clogs, he pawed at the more stubborn area's he could reach. Shortly after he crawled out of the water next to Ashton, satisfied that he was now clean and even feeling a bit refreshed, then shook himself off the best he could.

Ashton shut his eyes and concentrated. "This way," he said after a moment, picking up his shirt and hugging it to his chest. He walked off, back in the direction of where he and Rolf had first met. While walking, his hand kept tracing over a blood stain that was visable.

(do you want me to decide where it is, or can you give me a description? Because I was thinking about where Rolf and Ashton met...)

(OOC: Sure, its actualy fairly close, no farther than half a mile away. Seemed longer to Nychus because of having to take breaks and not being the healthiest.)

(OOC: alright.)
Ashton came to the tree where he and Rolf had met. He reached down into a clump of grass that was bunched all together oddly and pulled out the pack. "Here it is," he said softly. "Want me to carry it for you?" he asked, looking from the pack to Nychus.

Nychus wanted to say no, that he could carry his own stuff. That he could do a lot of stuff. But he knew he couldnft. Dragging that pack so long and so far was a great pain, he didnft even cover a lot of distance. *Sigh* gYes please, I would really appreciate it. Its really heavyh

"ok," ashton said. he put it on top of his shirt and clutched it to his chest again, hiding his scar. One sleeve of the shirt dangled down, the end of it covered in old bloodstains.

Nychus was happy to have his books recovered. They were important to him both in that they would help him change back and that one was a family heirloom. He followed behind Ashton.

Ashton walked slowly, tracing a blood stain on the shirt with one hand. "Mama was happy with daddy and me...then the knight came. He tried to take mama away, and she said no. Then he said that Serena would never say that, and said she was the dragon. so he stabbed her. i saw the whole thing. Then, he saw me. He was muttering 'the dragon did it' over and over when i stood. And..and then I lunged at him. I scratched him, and he cut me. Then...then...everything went dark...and the next thing i remember, daddy was home, asking me what happened," he said softly. "The scary man in the clearing looks like the knight...and is eager to attack like him too. I don't like the scary man," Ashton said, shaking his head.
(OOC: Ashton vaguely remembers saying that the scary man reminded him of the man who hurt his mother...and that got him to thinking. He thinks outloud...^_^)

gIfm sorry,h Nychus said, feeling bad that all this time he had been thinking only of himself and his predicament. Losing a family member was worse. He should be able to cure himself, you canft cure death. gIfll help you find your dad.h Nychus wanted to help, but what could he do? He couldnft even avoid getting captured. But he was determined, and once determined can be very stubborn.

"Huh? What?" Ashton said, looking around. "Opps...I'm sorry...I was thinking outloud..." Ashton said sheepishly, blushing a little. "Don't worry about it, Daddy will find me sooner or later," he continued.

"I'll still help." Nychus said, Trotting up next to Ashton and keeping pace. "um....Dragons don't eat foxes do they?" He asked sheepishly, hoping it was a foolish question.

"Daddy doesn't eat my friends," Ashton replied vaguely. "I like foxes. They remind me of Mama. Daddy won't hunt them because of it," he clarified.

Nychus's ears shifted one up and one down in confusion as he cocked his head to the side...."your mom was a fox?"

ashton shook his head, laughing a little. "No, mama was playful and adventurous, like a fox. Daddy often told me about how he would come across Mama in the woods, just watching the kits at play. They were her favorite animals," he explained, grinning.

"Oh, okay" Nychus said, then shook all the water off of him. "Lets hurry up and get you inside before you get sick."

Ashjton looked up. "I like the rain..." he said softly. But, he went back inside, pulling his shirt back on, carefully guiding his wings through the ragged holes in the back, holding the pack with one hand.

Nychus shook himself off as soon as he was inside. He yawned, and sleepily followed Ashton. It was taking alot of effort to keep up and not act exhausted.

(OOC: Probably for the best...untill you are told which room you can sleep in and I'm told mine. )
Nychus would have been satisfied curling up and sleeping anywhere. He did feel much better and dispite the activity of swimming and getting his pack he didn't feel much worse than when he finished eating. He was tired, but was content to just follow Ashton for now.

(OOC: alright then...)
Ashton yawned, and sat on the floor. he curled up, knees against chest, arms on his knees, and his head on his arms, with his wings wrapped around him, and promptly fell asleep, the pack beside him.
(*yawn* I should go to bed....)

Nychus curled up next to Ashton, leaning on his wings. He spent a little bit thinking about the days events and found it odd that now he felt safe and warm. He squirmed a little into a more comfortable possition, untill he was mostly on the dragon wing, then quickly drifted to sleep.
(OOC: Awwwwww.......And yes, you should go to sleep)

Rolf quietly stepped out of the house into the rain. It was getting even more heavy and the occasional spark of lightning lit up the sky. Rolf sat on the rivers edge and let his feet wade in the water as he contemplated. He wanted his old life back, his stolen body reclaimed.
He leaned forward looking at his reflection. After a while he sighed and walked back inside. Rolf walked into the armoury and grabbed a few new weapons then sat down at his metalworking table. He had to find his body soon. "I'll head off tomorrow." He thought aloud and fell asleep at the table.

Haruko followed, slightly irked that he had been forgotten. These people were interesting. Much more entertaining than the third-rates on this month's bounty list.
