Des gave a light shrug. "Sure, if she feels like waking up." He said. Des lightly rubbed Kaerisa's head and felt a sharp pain peirce his wrist just above his glove. "She bit me again"He pulled his hand away as soon as she let go.
Kaerisa lifted her head and looked around. Sorry, forgot where I was.She said though she was aware to a degree. So, why did I wake up, looks like it's dark, perfect time to sleep.
"I need you to go with Kento to get fire wood, he says dragons ahve good night vision."Des said. He was slightly suspicious that Kaerisa mangaged to bite him above his gloves. " In the mean time I'll set up place for the fire. I think Hiko should fly high enough and get our barings so we can plan for the morning."
He's right for the most part, dragons do have good night vision. I'll go with him. Kaerisa crawled off Des and ran up kento's leag and rested across his shoulders.

Kento gave Kaerisa a quick stroke in the hollow spot by her eye, a spot hard to reach for most animals so it tended to feel nice, as a thank you. "Alright then I'll see you all soon." He then scampered back into the woods. Being on the edge of the forest meant he would have to travel a bit to find a place not demolished. "Damn Amett and his destruction," the boy couldn't help but mutter.
(Umm... according to the first post on this thread they were at the demolished section of treefell. How is there a canopy now? xD)

"Be carful you two." Des called out after Kento. He then turned to Esse and Hiko."I dunno about him going back into that forest. Esse, be sure to send him a mental message to get dry branches, they make less smoke." Des set up what was to be a fire pit, making a circle of rocks to contain the wood. Last thing this place needs is a fire He thought.

Hiko took off, circling slowly as he rose on the warm air currents coming up from the ground. Hiko looked around carefully taking account of all the rivers he could see. It felt good to fly and to stretch his wings. He rolled and dived, swooping on the currents. He paused and then hovered, swinging around. He could see the desert and took note of its direction.

"Will do, Desumo," Essetai confirmed. She would be ready to drag Kento back when needed. After all it just wouldn't do to let a friend go missing and stay that way.
Kento frowned. The forest was a lot darker than Treefell for sure. He had to wait to let his eyes adjust once more then looked to Kaerisa. "See anything?"

Des gave Esse a nod and began to secure some tender from the tree stumps. He got some dry moss and tree bark and placed it in the fire pit. "All we need is that wood for the fire and we're set." He said to himself.
Kaerisa looked around in the darkness. She saw plenty of branches, though some were freshly fallen and made for bad burning. That way. She said, nudging at his head in the direction. There is an old log with a few of it's branches still attached.

(James the URL to your icon must be gone. It's broken. Seems you need to get a new one)
Essetai settled herself a fair distance from the location of the future fire. After all when she had first met Desumo she hadn't agreed much with his campfire so she certainly wouldn't be in agreement now. It wasn't that she didn't like fires it was that her body wasn't quite so adjusted to both a hotter climate and a campfire at once. She couldn't handle it and she doubted Kento could either.
Doing his best to move over to the log without tripping on something in the dark by accident, Kento started to wander over. The male Auroran would have been fine navigating by himself... if he were in Hoku. He held out a hand and searched for the log. "Sorry if I seem to be lumbering around, Kaer. There's not much I can do to find it besides this. 'That way' isn't very specific either." He winced slightly, hoping the Eastern dragon wouldn't be angry at him for shortening her name.

Hiko circled once more, pinpointing the desert, and then landed softly. He pointed it out to Desumo and then scratched a marking in the soil so that they wouldn't have to find it again in the morning. He moved back to the packs that were lying on the floor, where he cleverly used his mouth to open one of the straps. He moved off with a few fruit, gulping them down.

"Sorry Esse, but the rest of us need a fire." Des said. " You and Kento are the only two against heat. now if Seido is in that direction we should move toward North and Hoku." Des then noticed Hiko eating fruit. "I'm surprised you didn't wait for those to be cooked Hiko"
Kaerisa ignored Kento's shortening her name. Whether she liked it or not she was undecided. She climbed to the top of his head and let her tail dandgle behind him. Which ever side of your head you feel my tail, walk that direction. She said. Keep going till I remove my tail. She put her tail on the right side of his head and left it there till he started.

"Sorry I can't help it..." Essetai frowned. "I have plenty of gems. If we get close to a store somewhere, I'll get lighter clothing for me and Kento. Then we'll be better with the heat. Only if we're near a store, though. I don't know quite what's on the way. As for avoiding the desert, sounds good to me!"
Glad he didn't get bitten for shortening her name, Kento nodded. He could feel her tail draping down his neck and while it tickled he walked in the direction indicated. "Thanks."

Hiko wolfed down another fruit, and then quickly curled up by the fire. Although he still listened to the conversation, he didn't say much, because he was feeling very sleepy and relaxed. He did add though, Should somebody keep watch?

Des waved the question off. "It's not like we're going to sleep, kento needs to get back with some wood so this fire stays lit. " He said. " It will only go so long. Besides, what if Kento needs us?"
Kaerisa removed her tail when Kento reached the old log. There seems to be plenty here. She said. Feel it to check if it's enough.

Kento flashed a grin of thanks. "This should be perfect, Kaer! We'll have enough for a fire in no time!"
"Kento? Need us?" Essetai said as if it didn't register.

The forest was silent, perhaps a little too silent, but so far nothing had attacked the travellers. It seemed as if the whole forest was drawing in it's breath before the storm, although there was no obvious danger.
Hiko opened his eyes a little wider. Can you hear that? he said.
