@mmarageSo that was it? Well at least Luna now understood to some extent. It was obvious now that he came from a place where there was no magic for miles. And that he's obviously never seen a supernatural being before. He didn't even seem aware that he's one of the only few humans in that group. He also seems to think that they were using tricks in order to make it appear they were using magic.
“Tricks huh?” Luna opened the water bottle again and pulled the water out of it and formed this it into a strip of water that simply moved around her. “So you think making water float and move around like this some sort of trick? Sorry to break it to you, but I was born able to manipulate water.” She put the water back in the bottle. “Remember that talking cat you saw? She said she wasn't a normal cat yes? And then a woman with cat ears with the same voice appeared? Are you thinking that is a trick as well?" She turned into a white cat with a white ribbon right in front of him and stayed in that form for a minute. "If you think what she did was a trick then please explain this to me."
Luna turned right back to her human form before continuing on. And again in front of him. “Now I understand where you're coming from. A human who found himself way out of his element and couldn't do much to control it. Yes, normally it would take hundreds of years to accomplish a feat like that. I hate to burst your bubble on the whole 'magic doesn't exist', but this whole thing isn't normal. This forest isn't normal and neither is that lake. The only thing that I saw attack you was the trees themselves, which in fact were brought to life by one individual rather you want to believe it or not. And quite honestly that lake of blood is probably the work of one magic using individual as well. Yes you heard me right. Someone who is using
magic. ”
“Ok sure it seemed like a couple others attacked as well, but they were doing the only thing they thought they could to get the situation under control and quickly, so for one the trees don't become disturbed again and for another one of us doesn't run off alone and die somewhere.”
“I understand that you're under the impression that your chances of survival are higher avoiding us, but again I hate to break it to you, but being alone in this crazy place lowers your chances of survival greatly. Especially, for someone who doesn't believe in magic or rather in this case refuses to believe it's real. Also it's quite dangerous for someone whose been running about the forest making a fool of himself all the while trying to get away from demons he thinks are there but aren't really. Both pertain rather you're a human or not and both being something you seem to be doing.”
“So basically, by leaving you alone. I won't feel right and neither will the others. Let's say that magic wasn't involved with the creation of that lake. Yeah, it would've taken a large group, but I assure you, it most likely would be a group much larger than what we have. Also going by the logic that it may have taken hundreds of years, then it would mean that it took several different groups unless you actually believe supernatural beings exist. Seeing as how you're under the impression magic isn't real, I find that really hard to believe. Think of how much blood actually makes up that lake and how many dead bodies could potentially be in it. “
"I'm telling you that all of us pretty much woke up here the same way you probably did. None of us know why we're here, but right now it doesn't matter. What matters is that we stay together as a group, And yes that does include you. I don't know what kind of world you came from but it's obviously one where there's no magic and one where the only species is human. You just found yourself some place where there's both magic and species other than human. Though why you, someone who thinks neither exists ended up here, I can't really tell you.”
“I'm not asking you to trust either of us straight away. Trust is something that's built up over time after all. What I'm asking is for you to quit making a fool of yourself and actually listen to what we're trying to tell you. Because I assure you, chances of you making it home alive are much higher if you actually stayed with us.”

@Letmehaveone2Ayaka sent wind in a few different directions to pinpoint where the sound was coming from. She preferred not to have to track him by scent if she could. It didn't take very long, but she soon figured out where he could be. Knowing Luna would understand she took off to where she figured Arin to be. Honestly, maybe Arin could help with talking some sense into Joe if Luna can't. Then the four of them can go back to the group together.
