(OOC just to help keep things striaght at this point I'll note what story we're following at the time by noting -Tarrae's Party- or -Jeriyu's Party-)
-Tarrae's Party-
No one had said anything for at least 10 minutes. Suddenly Serendice stopped walking. "What's up Serendice?" Ageha and Tarrae asked at almost the same time. "I think i see something shining up ahead. It might be some of our gear!" With that she bounded on ahead leaving Tarrae and Ageha a bit behind. "Come on. We don't wanna get left behind, Ageha." Tarrae grabbed her hand she looked up a blushed a bit. They ran after Serendice.
Only a few moments later they found her. In a rope net. Tarrae stifled a laugh at how foolish someone could be to get caught in such a primitive trap. Ageha let out a little giggle as well. "Hey Serendice, how did you not notice that a trap was lying there?" Tarrae letting out a laughing sigh. "Does it matter, you jerks! Just get me down!" Lila yelled agitatedly. "Hey I gave you a knife don't you remember?" Tarrae yelled back. "Oh yeah...heh heh." Serendice giggled and cut the rope falling down hard. "Ow, help me up!" Tarrae and Ageha both gave her a hand.
"Someone must have set this trap for us." Tarrae took a good look around and then made a howling cry. Ageha looked confused. "Are you mourning someone, Tarrae?" "I'm trying to call Jeriyu, my partner. If he heard me he'll answer back with another call." They waited a moment and heard a faint reply. "They must be very far, let's get moving in that direction." Tarrae pointed east.
"You and your partner sure are together. Extra weapons, flints, callls, everything. We aren't quite that organized. As you can see." Ageha said motioning towards Lila who was staring at the sun. "We've got aot of ground to cover. Let's get moving you two." Tarrae smiled at them both but more warmly at Ageha. She put her head down a little so he wouldn't notice that she was blushing. Serendice just kept her same blank expression. Tarrae could tell she wasn't fond of him.
-With Jeriyu's Party-
The three of them had been silent except for Lila who was a bit ahead and happily and obliviously humming. Jeriyu broke the silence. "Did you hear that? Tarrae just called. Let's head in the direction of the call." He pointed west. "We should be able to reach them soon if we're all traveling in the right direction." Jeriyu started to move that way. "Just hold on. How do I know you're not trying to trick us and trap us." Nienna butted in. "Well here are two reasons I'm not tricking you. One, I'd have little to gain out of it because I'm an honorable fighter, if I intended to fight you I'd do it in the ring, and two neither I nor my partner Tarrae have been into this forest up til now. So you'll just have to trust me. You've have no better options." She begrudingly follows Jeriyu and Lila happily skips along. "Oh and one more reason you should trust me." He reached under his shirt and pulled three knives. He tossed one to Lila and one ot Nienna. I've armed you, if I was trying something you'd outnumber me." Nienna seemed appeased and went along.
