Benny came barreling through the wilderness, leaping up to the ledge that was the entrance to the cavern. He all but ignored the female and nuzzled his master’s neck with his nose. Eled was immediately up, “Damn it ter Fel, Benneh! It’s nae playtime!!” Eled was against the wall, his bow in his hand, regardless of his outburst. There was some type of training there where Eled knew exactly what Benny had meant. He studied his tiger for sometime, listening closely. “Were yeh followed lad?” He immediately left the cave with his bow, jumping upon a higher precipice to look out amongst the wilderness, eyes carefully poking and prodding to every known space a living creature could occupy.

Joruri jumped when Benny passed her. She stood up and looked around. She looked at Eled and Benny before she closed her eyes and listened. She sensed someone but she couldn't tell who they were.

Shidoni heard a sudden movement but it was gone in a split second. Must just be a wild animal. She shook her head. She was being stupid, nobody is out here. She relaxed and stepped even closer to the crater, examining the area. Still nothing. She again sighed. She knelt down, here hair falling in front of her face, creating a veil covering her face.

She touched the soil gently with her free hand while the other still gripped onto her bow.

Eled narrowed his eyes after long, tense moments of searching. He climbed back down to the cave's mouth and smirked. "Mornin', Love. Seems weh got companeh on this 'ere loneleh island. Yeh made some noise on yer way down I 'spect."

Eled narrowed his eyes, "Where is she?" He wondered. He thought perhaps he had not drank enough water. He was sure the girl had been real...

Joruri frowned. She had sensed someone as well but now they were gone." I don't know.... Maybe it was just some kind of magic or something."

Eled scowled. "Nature is cruel!" He scratched behind Benny's ear, shaking his head. "An elf's got needs yeh know!! Thought she'd surely beh in ther cave within er couple dayss." He sighed, while Benny pushed his head into Eled's hand.

Joruri watched him before turning back to the forest." Do you know if this forest has any magic?"

((Just realized I got my characters mixed up the last few posts! Aha!! My apologies on the weirdnesss))

Eled, as if seeing Joruri there, exclaimed "Ahh!! there yeh are!" He wipes furiously at his eyes. "I was lookin fer what coulda been drivin' Benneh crazy but never sawr it. Guess it messed me vision up, I thought yeh'd disappeared!" He frowns, looking at her face with curiosity. "Magic, yeh say? Guess I would nae beh surprised, yeh fallin from ther sky and still lookin' like a water nymph, an' all tha'."

(Lol. It's okay.)

Joruri blinked." That's how I got here? I don't remember at all." She looked at the sky before wincing slightly. She rubbed her back, trying to rub the pain away.

Eled nodded. "Lessin er course you plopped right in there, snug as a leaf after it fell from ther sky, I beh reckonin'." He walked at sat behind her. "yeh hurt?" He took his hands very gently onto her back, carefully finding any knots that may have crept their way into her muscle.

Joruri blushed when his hands brushed over the two scars on her back." N-no. My back's just a bit sore." She took a step away.

Eled smirked, noting the blush. "Aye, guess ther fall gave yeh a bit of impact af'er all." Benny came to his side, brushing his hand with his head and Eled absently scratched behind his ear. A gentle breeze came through and as if catching a scent on the wind, Eled looked to the skies. "Rain." He noted, frowning. "We oughtter get as much accomplished as possible before it hits. What der yeh know of gatherin' food and firewood?"

"I know how to gather firewood." She walked off quickly before he could say anything. After a bit, she made sure he couldn't see her before letting her wings out. She stretched out her large, black, feathered wings with a sigh of relief. She folded the against her back.

Eled nodded. He assumed that left the hunt for him and Benny. He looked at the giant tiger in the eyes for a long moment, their thoughts were in sync. Silently, they disappeared through the thick foliage of the forest, sniffing and observing for an animal's passage.

Joruri started to gather firewood. Her wings fluttered once but kept still and folded against her back. Once and a while, a black feather would fall from her wings but Joruri took no notice.

An arrow shot directly into a small stag-like creature. Eled quickly notched another, finishing the animal off. He had already grabbed bags of nuts and berries, and set to skinning and butchering the animal. Running to the ocean, not far, he washed his blades. Something caught his eye, and he cocked his head. "Benneh, would yeh look at tha'? Mebbe a bigger shelter..." He made his way to what looked to be a small cove in the face of a cliff.

Joruri made her way back to the cave and looked around. No sign of Eled yet. She put the firewood down and yawned before stretching out her wings to thier fullest length.

Eled returned about an hour later, with Benny at his side. He nodded to Joruri and began silently collecting the firewood. "I found er more satisfactoreh shelter. Follow meh." He made his way to the cove he had found, grinning ear to ear.
