"I'll wait for you." Aya promises, and puts him down on the ground. She looks longingly at him and clears her throat. "Ah... Perhaps you'd like, um, something for good luck?" She stares awkwardly at the ground in front of his paws. This always seemed so much more natural in the romantic movies she'd watched as a child.

Aya huffs for a moment, and can't help thinking that boys simply had no common sense when it came to romance. Had Destin watched no romantic movies? "This is the kind of good luck I meant!" She pulls him in after hugging him and gives him a quick kiss on his lips. "There!" she tries to sound tough but her strawberry-red face gives her emotions away. "You stole my first kiss so... Well, I stole it back! So you better come back to date me, okay?" She gives a satisfied nod.

Aya smiles happily and sits on the ground by the river, enjoying the view. She so rarely came just to look at this place since she was so often scared of running into Broms. The threat of that happening now ran through her mind for a second but she calmed herself and just focused on the rushing water. Destin would be back soon. There was nothing to worry about.

Jayden padded into camp in his mountain lion form. His tail flicked lazily as he headed to a fire to it next two. His eyes gazed around at the empty clearing and he wondered where everyone was. It wasn't that late in the day, was it?

Jayden turned his head to follow the coarse Healer. "Sure, I guess." He shrugged off her harsh tone and rose to follow her. He bounded forward and met her as they left the camp. "Where to?" He asked, as they moved along.

Jayden snarls and places his large paws on her chest to shove her off. "Chill the fuck out, Elauna." He collects himself and looks at her with irritation clouding his gaze. Jayden was usually patient with his firey groupmates, but Elauna was being too aggressive. "You act like Destin is dead. He's probably just collecting herbs." Jayden's tail lashes as he pads ahead of her.

"You're acting like you're my superior! You don't just get to have my respect if you think I'll tolerate this." Jayden flashes back, digging his claws into the ground. "Your threats don't scare me." He walks after her and watches her angrily.

"Killing others doesn't make you superior. It makes you a murderer." Jayden shrugs passively, not intimidating by her show of ego. "But whatever makes you feel good about yourself." He continues after her silently. His eyes follow her figure as they near the rushing water. He just wanted to go back into the forest on his own at this rate.

"Aaah!" Aya screamed, totally unprepared for the assault. Really, she should have seen this coming. Didn't she know by now that the Broms patrolled their borders like hounds? "Please! Let me go!" she begged, struggling against what she realised was a wolf. She didn't know whether to be relieved or concerned that she didn't recognise the shifter. At the very least, it wasn't Fabine who was attacking her. She remembered that he was an owl.
