Save for the strained and awkward farewells, the journey had been an easygoing and simple trek through the forest, eventually exiting and nearing the fairy kingdom. 

The travel had proven to aid in Menzai's overall mood with some of the color returning to his skin from beneath the sun's warmth. The familiar scents and sounds of nature were always therapeutic for the wolf still recovering. He relished the quiet and solitude as he had watched the rear, mainly to keep from worrying the group; affording him time to think and contemplate. It was marginally easier without the family stress adding to the influenza of developments he had to work out.

Only that he could run across the trees and feel the wind brushing against his face. For a time, loss, flying alongside the birds as he leapt with confident strides, the trees his home, the sky the freedom cascading into a blinding gale of light.

That bright light that soon pulled Menzai from his calming fantasy, the ever-familiar kingdom praised for its natural beauty and love. And while relationships were somewhat strained, the Gauravs enjoyed visits, some more frequent.

And there was a time he was one of them. He looked on, what was once unending and breathtaking beauty had been fading to him. It was almost as if all the colors had become muted or slowly being washed out; whether that was merely how he saw it or something... more.

Menzai found his gaze shifting to Cyrus and then Phia, wondering about the effects the loss of the royal family truly was or if they had even started. It was then, at that moment, he would take notice of Phia staring ahead lost in her own thoughts.

This was far from her first visit and disappointedly so, her memories did not return. Things were different, now, however, with her siblings with them. He could only hope traveling with them long enough may help break whatever may be blocking her progress.

He could only ask so much patience.

 [color=f745aa]"Well, we're here."[/color] Phia announced softly to the others and turned to smile at them.  [color=f745aa]"I suppose Sunny and I could work on making some friends with the wildlife in the area..."[/color] Her gaze slid to Cyrus.  [color=f745aa]"Do you speak with fauna as well?"[/color]

Before Cyrus could answer, Menzai had stepped forward raising his right hand to get the group's attention." [color=92278f]Pardon the interruption, Phia, but before this conversation continues, there are some things I wish to put forward.[/color]" 

A small appreciative bow of his head before shifting partway towards Cyrus."[color=92278f] I wish to remind the group, that while we are here for some fun and relaxation, we are also here to help Sir Cyrus in search of their siblings.[/color]" Pausing briefly to glance at each fairy as if seeking something."[color=92278f] If I am to assume this is to be done discreetly, then let me suggest we do so under the guise of the rings. Until we can get a better understanding of the situation, keeping our identities secret might be for the best.[/color]" A glance at Dante and Darius, the two he was most concerned about regarding this. 

Motioning then towards Cyrus."[color=92278f] As such, I must ask two things of you before we continue. First, since asking through names proves too risky, are there any recognizable nicknames or signs we may search by? Secondly, if you own any of their belongings, with it, I will be able to memorize their scents, affording me greater potential and ease at tracking them down.[/color]" Nodding his head, letting his questions sink in before holding up a finger."[color=92278f] Please remember that even my senses have its limits. And, the chances they may be in this kingdom or nearby are minuscule, but I will do my best to. That is; if you are willing to share such personal information.[/color]"

Leaving it there to let Cyrus think about his requests, he then turned to the others to see if they wished to add anything.
