Fern hadn't the chance to find Rust before she heard Ironwood's voice over the speakers on the ship. He told them they had arrived at the island and only had five minutes to gather their things and hop off the ship. She hoped Rust would at least be conscious enough to hear that, and so she gave up on her search for him, getting ready to exit the ship herself. 

She had retured to the room she was sleeping in to get Blaithnait and her other items, strapping her belt to her waist and tying the red scarf around it. She checked her bandages, the ones that covered the scars on her body, and made sure they were secure and wouldn't loosen and fall off while she was out. The last thing she got was her quiver of arrows that she slung across her back before leaving the room.

Tilian had been in his chamber the whole trip, texting with some shady characters about some shaddy deals. Apparently some people where not amused by how he had handeld Chris, but Tilian just ignored it. During the night Tilian couldn't catch any sleep. So he decided to walk the halls at night and trying to pass the time by whatever means necessary.
At one point he was on the upper deck relaxing on a bench and staring at the moon. He then once again tried to catch some sleep, which still didn't happen. So, he just lay in his bed looking at the ceiling. This wasn't the first time that he had been having sleepless nights. Maybe it was his councious... naaah probably not.  But when it was about 4 in the morning he finally fell asleep.

Then he was awoken by the annoying voice that was General Ironwood. Tilian moaned as he rolled of his bed onto the cold floor. He then stood up and heard people right outside of his room. He stumbled to his door and it slid open. He looked as the others where already dressed up and walking towards the exit.Tilian turned around and walked towards his clothes as the door slid behind him. A few minutes of putting on his clothes later, he left his room and slowly but surely made his way to the exit. Mumbling and cursing the enitre time.

Fern was the first one off the ship at least, so that was good. As she passed Ironwood to wait for the others, she looked around them and smiled. The island was beautiful. She could smell all the different plants and flowers, and with the thick forest around them, she felt right at home. It was a nice feeling. As she watched the others exit the ship and come to stand around, she waved at them, though they didn't have any time to greet properly before Ironwood breifed them on what they would be doing.

[color=#4F7942][i]Finally...[/i][/color] she thought as Ironwood explained the situation. It was a lot to take in... and she didn't like the idea of the team getting split up. She would have to really think about who was going to go with who. When Ironwood was done speaking, Fern went over to Paris and pulled him aside. [@Katakon]

[color=#4F7942]"So... I wasn't expecting our teams to be split up like this. I'm thinking it would be best to keep teammates together rather than having them work with someone their unfamiliar with, you know?"[/color] she paused and thought about this. Considering Sapphire was her partner, she thought that it would be best just to stick with her... but Fern wasn't going to be able to keep a close eye on her and protect her like she wanted to when she had a bunch of villagers to look after. 

Sighing, Fern pinched the bridge of her nose, expecting her faunus friend to be quite upset about her decision. [color=#4F7942]"Alright Paris, I'm thinking I'll stick with Tilian and have Rust and Sapphire go with General Iron-ass over there to Signal."[/color] she said, jerking her thumb in the direction of the General. [color=#4F7942]"I'd feel more comfortable with Sapphire being in a safer place. She's still not... a hundered percent, if you know what I mean. That and Rust can protect her better than I can... Plus, Tilian is an ass to everyone but me, so it won't be too bad working with him."[/color] She didn't partcularly like it, but it was true.

She placed a hand on her hip and got out her scroll with the other, looking at the map. [color=#4F7942]"Alright, let's decide where the other three pairs will go... "[/color] she paused and looked over the three places. [color=#4F7942]"Do you feel alright with your team taking care of Arow and Crete? I think Tilian and I can handle the trip to Sutton..."[/color] she blinked and lowered her scroll, looking around. 

[color=#4F7942]"Wait a minute... where is he?"[/color]

She wondered for a moment if he had wandered off, but after thinking about it, figured it was more likely that he just hadn't made it off the ship yet. Groaning, she excused herself from her conversation with Paris and quickly walked back up the dock to get back onto the ship. 

Sure enough, as Fern just got onto the ship, she ran right into Tilian who had apparently just made it to the door. She made a small noise when she bumped into him that sounded like 'oof' and she rubbed her head that had painfully hit some random part of his body.

She narrowed her eyes at him as she placed her hands on her hips, unaware of the ridiculous looking red mark that was forming on her forehead.

[color=#4F7942]"You...."[/color] she growled.

Tilian looked into two eyes of pure rage. Which belonged to no one else but Fern.
He tried to avoid her as soon as he was spotted, but failed and bumped into her instead. Tilian groaned in annoyence as his head ache only became worse. [color=1b1464]" Morning Poison Ivy. Hope you had a good sleep, because I sure as hell haven't."[/color] He then awaited the barrage of insuluts that where about to be unleashed.

Fern frowned at him calling her Poison Ivy but ignored it, slightly more concerned about the fact he didn't sleep well. Though she was prepared to give him a lecture about how important today was, she decided against it. Instead she reached up and placed her hands on his cheeks before patting them forcefully a few times in an attempt to fully wake him up. 

She seemed satisfied at the redness of his cheeks when she lowered her hands and held back a laugh. Tilian raised his eyebrows as the barrage of insults did not arrive. However, what came next was about ten times worse as she grabbed him by the cheecks a started patting them, giving them a nice red colour... Which totally wasn't embarasing at all. [color=1b1464]"Well this is new. Look, I'm sorry I'm late you can bitch about it later okay?"[/color]

[color=#4F7942]"Oh, trust me. I will."[/color] she said, crossing her arms. Turning away, she gestured for him to follow her. [color=#4F7942]"Come on, I'll fill you in once we get going. You kind of missed... well, everything."[/color] she said, turning and starting on her way back towards the others.

Tilian chuckled as he walked behind her.[color=1b1464]" Well you know it's kind of my thing "[/color] His eyes closed as he looked into the sunlight. He could smell the fresh sea breeze. The seaguls flying above the port. The wind screwing up his already tousled air.

Fern walked ahead of Tilian to regroup with the others, letting her team know what the plan was and which pair was going where. As she was doing this, Ironwood noticed Tilian lagging behind and frowned, going over to the boy. As he cut in front of him, effectively stopping him in this path towards the others, Ironwood spoke to him.

[color=silver]"It seems to me like you have no care for the fact you showed up late. Even when I had specifically stated over the comm that we were to meet, you disregarded it and as a result, missed the breifing of the assignment."[/color] he sighed and looked dissapointed.

[color=silver]"Is this the kind of huntsman you are? If you were one of my men, I would have you hand in your resignation. Do you have anything to say for yourself young man?"[/color] 

As soon as he heard the voice of Ironwood, he put up his pokerface and looked the General right in the eye's. Not trying to provoke the man, but also showing that he wasn't afraid of him either. But instead of making a bitchy comment he decided to play it cool.

[color=1b1464]" My apologies sir, The reason I missed your briefing was simply because I lacked the sleep for it. You see I couldn't sleep at all last night. So I wanderd the halls trying to become tired. Which in the end did work. However it seemed that it was not good enough. I deeply apologize for my slip up and you have full right to punish me if you desire it."[/color]

Ironwood actually looked satisfied at Tilian's response. [color=silver]"Well, at least you're smart enough to reckognize when you've made a mistake. That in itself is enough."[/color] he smiled then, briefly. [color=silver]"Go to your friends now so you don't miss any more important information."[/color]

Tilian gave a quick salute and then walked past Ironwood. Smilling as he walked towards Fern.[color=1b1464]" Well the i suppose your gonna brief me now?"[/color]

Fern turned and nodded to Tilian once he came up behind her. She was standing with Sapphire and Rust, just about to tell them what she decided.

[color=#4F7942]"Alright, Tilian is coming with me. We're heading to Sutton while you two head to Signal with Ironwood. No complaints. We need to get going since that village is the farthest away."[/color]

Fern reached out to pat Sapphire's head. [color=#4F7942]"Take care."[/color] she said, giving a wink at Rust.

.[color=1b1464]" Do i have any say in this matter?"[/color]

[color=#4F7942]"Do you ever have a say?"[/color] she responded, raising her eyebrow.

[color=1b1464]"Well no, but I can always try can't i Ivy?"[/color]

Fern rolled her eyes and started to march off. [color=#4F7942]"Just come on."[/color]

Tilian dramaticly bowed.[color=1b1464]" Whatever you want princess."[/color]
