It was an odd thing, being carried. He was pretty light, of course, but it was still pretty awkward. He didn't struggle at all, though. Another thing that struck him suddenly was something of the girl's features. Her ears. They were pointy. She was an elf?
Surely not a faery...?

Nychus's ears went flat aggainst his head and he barred his teeth. "Blast!" He said in a hushed whisper, "They're coming this way....and seem to have heard one of us...over this storm no less." He couldn't help feel a pang of fear, there wasn't much an 8 year old and a fox could do against....well anyone really.
"Yes Ashton, just tell them that I'm..." *sigh* "...I'm your pet. I don't want anyone to know anything about me." He considered moving back or standing guard. Then considered how effective he might be as a fox guarding an enterance....probably get kicked into the rain. Gods he hated this....he ran back to where Ashton was and turned to stare in grim anticipation of whoever was heading towards them.

Haruko followed quickly, looking at the sky in annoyance. He glanced ahead at Rigg and Sybil. So he lets the girl carry him... but not me? He felt an odd pang of jealosy. He got to be carried. He quickly dismissed that thought. Haruko was too big to be carried.

Ashton glanced nervously at Nychus, then cleared his throat. "Yes, Ashton is here! Does the voicey need helphelp?" he asked, moving to the entrance and peering through the rain. (OOC:Ashton isn't eight, he's ten!!  ) |

Rigg kicked at the air very slightly when he heard a child's voice call out.
"Can y'lemme down now?"

((although he does act kinda young, sometimes XD))
Sybil blinked. A kid? Alone? Out in this storm?! "We're doing fine, stay where you are until we get over there." Her stance relaxed somewhat, although Rigg would be the only one who could tell. Who knows what you could meet in a storm like this...
"Hmm? Oh, sure." Syb dumped Rigg unceremoniously. "I think we can at least get out of the rain."

((But we all love young him for it! *Huggles Ashy*))
Well, she had calmed down- that was allways good. As she dropped him gracelessly onto the muddy ground, he scrambled upright, and something in his chest cavity made a rather loud squeaking noise. She couldn't be a faery- at least not one of the Cairn-folk. They didn't have hair...
He decided to keep quiet for a bit- at least untill the voice called back...

"Be careful Ashton." Nychus said in a hushed whisper, "Don't trust them instantly or tell them anything about yourself or me." Great, a -ten- year old is my spokesman. Nychus thought miserably. He thought a little bit then moved to stand next to Ashton. Not the most menacing force, but better than nothing. -_-

Haruko stepped tentatively behind the others, engrossed in his thoughts. I wonder if I can get a job out of one of these people... Don't think they have much gold, though...

Ashton flapped his wings nervously.
"Ok. Ashton will wait..." he called, then turned to Nychus. "Ashton will be careful, Nychus. Promise," he said.

Sybil reached the mini-cave... mound... thing. "Er, ya got room in there for three more, kiddo? Two of us aren't that big, but we're all soaked."

Ashton folded his wings, aware that his appearence make some people nervous, and scooted farther back into the shelter.
"We have room..." he said hesitantly.

Nychus barred his teath in a silent growl. At least he hoped thats what it looked like and not some goofy fox smile. The thought suddenly occured to him that he should have stood infront of a river practicing facial expressions...too late now. ...and how the heck was he suppose to get his hair to stand on end? Well this would have to do....look watchful and semi-threatening while not menacing enough to get kicked. Like an attack fox just waiting for the command to strike.

Unaware of anything else in the world going on, a frightened and confused Minaca ran carelessly through the rain. Eyes filled with tears she gazed over her left shoulder looking back at where she had just destroyed another families life. "Why could she no control herself, why was she so different" she thought as her bear foot stepped into a large puddle splashing her and everything around her. She didn't care and she didn't even know why she was running or where she was going, she just had to go. The rain had soaked Minaca's long blonde hair all the way to her skull and the small teddy bear she held in her arms sagged from absorbing so much water. Even in this time of panic though she stoppeed for just a moment and aloud the rain to drench every part of her person because some how the rain seemed to drive away some of her fears. After standing for what seemed like forever she stuck out her foot and began to run again. Minaca looked straight ahead as her legs carried her as fast as they could move....
After running a short distance Minaca came upon some footprints in the mud. She walked forward following the footprints just hoping they would to someone who new where she was so she could leave. Out of breathe from running the whole way Minaca walked slowing, trodding with every step through the mud. What she saw made her stop in her tracks. All she could see was a small cave with many different kinds of creatures inside of it. Her hair dropped in front of her face as she stood there staring. Afraid of another rejection she question ,"Hello, what are you doing?" not aiming the question at anyone in particular.....

Haruko leaned against the mouth of the cave. He couldn't risk being in a cramped space. Someone might... activate his curse. That would not be good. So he would wait. See if they cared... The rain was really annoying him now. He glanced at the new girl.
"Getting wet..." He grumbled, forced to answer her question by the curse.

Eyes darting from the person in front of her to the people still in the cave Minaca asked hurridly ",Can you please help me, hurry! Before something bad happens please tell me where I am and how do I leave." She lifted her arm and looked at it making sure she was not changing, she was still a normal human she had not shifted at all. Yet.....

Oh! Wait! Sybil knew the answer to this one. "Well, see, you're in a clearing. Which is in a forest. I believe that you can leave by picking a direction and walking." So she was being a little sarcastic, but she was cold and wet and decidedly cranky. Plus, with the crowd, she was starting to get a little xenophobic. She was curled into a corner of the mini-cave, keeping as far away from the others as she could.

Nychus pearked his ears up trying to listen to everything above the rain. Wasn't that hard...though he frowned a bit....seemed a crew of rather sarcastic individuals...."getting wet" indeed. He couldn't help but roll his eyes at sybl's comments. And they hadn't even introduced themselves befor claiming spots in the cave. Nychus looked up at Ashton expectantly, waiting for him to say something. To be honest he was a bit fearfull (hopefully not showing it. )....he had forgotten how tall adults were compared to foxes and...well....it was like an ant amung giants. Not a comforting thought. |

"Yeah. You CAN leave, and stop asking all these g**d*** questions." Haruko was extremely annoyed. Because of the curse, he had to answer every questioning statement that this little girl uttered. No matter how stupid. He was borderline furious now.

Ashton shifted his wings uneasily. He didn't like fighting. His eyes flickered from person to person, growing more agitated and upset by the moment.
"Stop it. Just stop it. No more... Be nice, or go away," he finally said, snapping his wings out to their full span. Then, he slowly folded them back and huddled against the wall, shifting closer to Nychus.
"Don't like fighting..." he muttered softly, observing the people's reactions with wide, slightly frightened eyes.

Minaca expected this from anyone and everyone she met so it was no surprise the way they were acting around her. It all was the same as every other time she was hurt, except for the batboy. Who was strangely kind to her. This intrigued her very much, enough for her to come a little bit closer to the group and peer into the cave at the bat child.

Nychus Nudged against Ashtom comfortingly and glared at everyone else. I mean they can't just come in, comondier their space, then be rude like this. Why he should....well...even if he were human he would have no chance at fighting someone like Hakuro. He softly growled his discontent. "Grrrrrrrrrrrr"

Rigg grabbed ones of his arms and wrung it out. It was an odd feeling, twisting one's own arm like that and seeing water gush onto the ground. Eugh. He was being quiet... That wasn't like him, but maybe he should keep his mouth shut... So he watched the fox. Well, he could talk to rats now- why not foxes?
"What're y' growlin' at, mister fox? It's awful damp out. How'd'ya find yer way out here?"

Nychus stopped growling and blinked in suprise, staring at Rigg. Why would anyone address a fox? Did he suspect anything? Couldn't be....could it? Nychus swallowed hard and just stood staring at Rigg....waiting to see what he would do.

AShton picked up Nychus and hugged him to his chest like a child seeking comfort from a favorite pet.
"Nychus is Ashton's... pet," he said softly, staring at Rigg and shifting uncomfortably. He didn't like to lie, but Nychus was Ashton's friend...

Rigg smiled warmly.
"I've got a friend, to. Dun call him a pet, tho'... Twine? Y'awake?" There was a faint squeaking from inside the scarecrow's hat, and a small, silver rat scuttled out from somewhere in his hairline, across the side of his face, and onto his shoulder. Rigg grinned.

Haruko sat down outside the cave, trying to squish himself into the wall as to get as least wet as possible. He ignored Nychus's growl.

Ashton smiled nervously at Haruko, glad the fighting had stopped. He put Nychus down and folded his wings, switching his attention to the rat.
"... Hihi, Mr. Twine..." he said, regaining a bit of his normal cheer. The scarecrow man didn't know about Nychus, he just liked animals. Ashton couldn't stay scared of someone who liked animals. He glanced at Rigg.
"Can Ashton hold him?"
