Amelia groans and shifts. "C'mon prisoner boy!" She says, before laughing a bit. "You're hopeless Jett, how did you even find the Rabin camp?!" She asks, before beginning to walk back towards the Rabin camp. She glances back to make sure he was actually following. Technically he could ambush me and use me for whatever he wanted...

Oh no. Aya felt a panic rising within her. This was the last thing she had wanted. She couldn't bare to see Destin upset, not again. But she wasn't going to let her emotions take over. What could she do to make him feel better? Acting more on instinct than thought she wrapped her arms around him and pulled him in close. She couldn't remember the last time she'd hugged someone like that. Something about it felt so right. She waited to see his reaction.

Jett held up his hands defensively. "Forests change!" he laughed. As they began walking, he noticed her looking at him rather strangely for a moment and felt uneasy. After a long moment of silence, he said hesitantly, "Amelia, you trust me, don't you?" although he wasn't so sure he wanted to hear the answer. He shook his head, trying to expel his worries as she'd advised him, and he smiled again, waving his hands. "Never mind, it's fine. I get it if you feel a bit on edge since I just showed up."

<Snipped quote by jaywing93>

"Forests Change." Amelia says mockingly as they walk. She snorts, then stops a bit as he asks the question. She sighs. "To be quite honest, no. But you havent really been honest, I feel, about why you're really here. Is it just that you've fallen on hard times...or are you looking for something?" She asks, turning to face him. She crosses her arms. "I mean, I'm pretty vulnerable without my crossbow, and my being a ferret is pretty useless. You could use me as leverage to get anything you want."

<Snipped quote by Fionraella>

Jett nodded slowly. He thought long and hard about her question, and finally replied slowly, "If I am here looking for something, it definitely isn't something that can be bargained for." He shook his head and sighed, "I dunno, I was absolutely dreading having to come here and face everyone again, but my mind and body just kept pulling me here. I haven't figured out why that is yet." He looked down at her and smiled warmly, "But I guess I'm off to a pretty good start here."

Unfortunately for Destin, Aya certainly could not hug him forever. She stepped back from the hug and looked at him with a smile. Sometimes all people needed was some comfort. "Trust me Destin, everything's going to turn out okay. Like I told you, you can take some of my herbs, okay? Nobody in the Broms will even know what happened." She turned to the piles that they had separated out. "You can take all of this. Brick gathered some more with me. Not to mention I have tons dried in preparation for the winter."

<Snipped quote by jaywing93>

Amelia nods slowly, relaxing a bit. "I suppose that's true." She then bites her lip. "It isn't Sacha, is it? Because Jett, I'm sorry, but that ship's long gone. I don't think she'd ever forgive you for leaving..." She exhales softly, seeing the clearing up ahead. "Well whateer it is you are looking for, I hope you find it."

Aya perhaps wasn't entirely confident. This was just the start of the season, after all. Yet the thought of the plants she had found yesterday and her desire to keep Destin calm fuelled her reply of assurance. "Of course we'll be able to survive. Don't you worry about one thing. Look-" she picked up a spare bag from beside her bed. "I even have a bag for you to carry it in. So just forget all about what happened."

Kianna eyes Misha as she spoke. It was worth it... getting to see you, she thought to herself. "I'm glad we got to see each other though. I've missed you." Her voice was barely audible, as she turned her attention back to the fire. She felt nervous being so open, especially in camp with the others.

<Snipped quote by Fionraella>

Jett frowned and closed his eyes. "Well, I guess the first step is trying to make her not hate me," he pointed out with a slight smile. "But after that, I'm not sure what I want." He smiled appreciatively at her and added, "Thanks for that, and for getting me out of camp, too."

<Snipped quote by jaywing93>

Amelia nods. "I'm pretty sure she doesn't hate you. she might just highly dislike you right now." She shrugs with a sigh. "I mean, after all you did leave." She then grins. "No problem. I had to get out of there too. Kianna and that Brom need to kiss and make up already, Sacha needs to get the stick out of her ass, and everyone else needs to just chill the fuck out."

Marik shrugged at her comments. "Few people are worth the time. But come now, there is nothing wrong with a fight once and again." He removed his scythe from his belt in a non-threatening matter and examined the blade for a moment. "There is no greater to way to know a person then to see them in battle." His eyes lifted from the weapon to her. "You seemed skilled with that knife the other day I saw you, after all. Or perhaps are you rather one for peaceful correspondence?"

Misha glanced over at Kianna, pausing for a brief moment to take in the moment of vulnerability. I hope she knows.. I feel the same. She struggled to find the words to express herself; instead, she simply gave a short sigh and nodded. Her eyes fell to her boots. "Hopefully we can run into each other again soon. You can beat me up, I'll call you names.." She glanced up and smirked. "The usual."

<Snipped quote by Fionraella>

Jett flopped onto the ground and laid down on his back, folding his hands behind his head and closed his eyes with a grin. "Yeah, it feels so great to just let loose and enjoy life a bit." He opened one eye and glanced at her. "What do you guys do for fun anymore?"

<Snipped quote by jaywing93>

Amelia shrugs and stretches, looking up at the sky. "Not too much recently. I mean, the usual swimming, yeah." She shakes her head. "Recently we've been really working to getting the camp ready for winter. It's barely the end of fall and it's already getting cold enough to kill a lot of important herbs and drive the prey away..."

<Snipped quote by Fionraella>

Jett suddenly sat up excitedly and looked at her with bright eyes. "Hey! I totally forgot! Who else is still here that I would remember?" he asked energetically, thrilled at the thought of reuniting with some other lost friends. His time away from the Rabins had been horribly lonely. He had met some new people and had other relationships, but nothing was ever serious or genuinely enjoyable.

"I know when its needed, and when its a waste of my time." Nadia shrugs as she rubs her hands together. "Most of the fighting that goes on this forest is petty squabbling." Her tone was ultimately disinterested as she elaborated. "I know how to handle myself." Her hand trailed to her knife and she pulled it out to gaze at it. She gently touched the blade and she shifted her eyes up to Marik.
