Gao giggled and leaped. "It's been a while. I missed you. Eli wouldn't shut up talking about you..but neither could I" he wagged his tail. Eli blushed and chuckled. "It's kinda been a while. Sorry for suddenly leaving? "

Ris smiled and didn't say anything. All she did was take a few steps forward and pull Eli into a hug. "I missed you." She whispered, happy tears building up in her eyes.

Eli smiled and embraced her in a hug."im sorry that I left without saying anything. I swear I wont do it again.." he said."I missed you to."

Glancing back at Ris and Eli, Paige couldn't help but snicker. Ah, the feeling of young love, full of cheap chocolates and flowers upon flowers. As much as she liked watching such ideas blossom, there were more important things that needed to be none, such as discovering where the troubled Cilia had gone. Paige's lips spread into a wide grin as she stepped up to them.

"Oh, how I missed you guys too!" Paige exclaimed and wrapped her arms tightly around Eli and Ris, scooping them up in an ultimate bare hug. "Now, shall we continue hugging or go find the lost Cilia?"

@BlueAjah
Ris's face turned cherry red, both at the fact of Pagie's comment and the fact she forgot her sister had ran off. "Y-Yea w-we should go find Cilia." Ris stuttered, her face staying bright red as she pulled herself out of the hug.

[Jollan]

Dremick pulled his mask down over his face and followed Morgan out to wait for the others. Terra on the other hand, lit up at the sight of the dog like creature in a karate uniform.

"Oh my goodness! It's adorable!" she bent over slightly with her hands clasped in front of her. "I'm Terra, what's your name?"

Dremmick, after being outside for a moment, was starting to wonder if the others were as excited about figuring this out as he was. He looked over at Morgan who seemed to be trying to figure out which way Cilia went. "Think we should go on ahead?" he asked.

"Waiting may be a better idea since it is Ris's sister we're going after." Crystal said from her spot near the back of the small group that was waiting.

//You know I've got username's remembered when I can type your user without having to think about it\\

[AcetheKidd]

Eli blush faded away moments later."hey Paige...how's it been?" He asked. "Anyway, I know I missed something..can any of you tell me wants going on. I just got here a few hours ago."

Gao couldn't help to wag his tail and smiled at Terra."Im Gao, the dog of the Chinese zodiac~ nice to meet you. "He handed out his paw

"As much as I'd love to wait for everyone, this is Cilia we're talking about. It's unlikely she'll stay put in one place for long. Since there are so many of us, we're better off splitting up into groups of two in order to cover more ground. Dremmick and I will check the outskirts of town. I'll leave the rest of the available areas to search up to you guys to divide among yourselves. If a group happens to find her, either convince her to come back or just send up a flare to let us know where you're at. With that being said, I'll be off now!" Morgan starts heading toward the town limits, knowing fully well that every move counts at this rate. Wanting to reach her goal as quick as possible, she takes to the shadows, seeming like a blur at the pace that she was moving. This type of travel was the best choice considering it'd help her avoid the crowded walkways.

"Cilia ran off, she won't tell anyone, including me what's wrong." Ris said, looking at Eli.

“Why hello Eli! It’s so kind of you to notice! I am exceptionally well right now, thank you, how are you doing?” Paige grinned and patted both Eli and Ris on the back. While Paige knew it was trolling at its very core, she couldn’t help but enjoy herself. It wasn’t very often she could play at lovers (At least that’s what she told herself as she picked on the two).

As Morgan and Dremmick ran off to the outskirts, Paige glanced at the remaining members of their search party, Eli, Ris, Terra, and herself. Clapping her hands to grab everyone’s attention, Paige cleared her throat.

“Well, dear friends, I suppose we’re meant to split into groups of two now. Terra, should we let Eli and Ris some privacy? I’m sure they have a lot of catching up to do,” Paige said, making sure to extend the word ‘lot’ out.

[Jollan]

Dremmick nodded his head and left alongside Morgan. She was tough to follow, jumping in and out of shadows as she was, but he was able to make her out enough to follow her and keep up.

Terra nodded back at Paige, "Alright," she then turned to Ris and Eli, "I guess we'll will be waiting for ya." As she was talking, her half of the large crystal split in to wand went into each end of her staff. The staff then started to float in midair as she sat down sideways on it like a witch's broom. "I can't wait to see what this city is like!" Though her priorities seem a little out of line, she was still hoping to find Cilia as well. While she barely knew her, she knew that Cilia had helped in her rescue and so Terra wished to return the favor.

Cilia had stopped in front of a small, run-down cottage and she hit the door. "I know you're there. Let me in." She growled out, her golden eyes flashing with anger, and a slight bit of fear. The door opened a fair amount and a black gloved hand shot out of the darkness and grabbed Cilia, dragging her into the dark abyss.

As soon as the town's traffic cleared up, Morgan reverted to her normal self, simply walking and letting her nose do the work, tracking Cilia's scent like a bloodhound on the move towards some suspicious luggage in an airport. However, the earthy scents of the surrounding trees and land made it somewhat difficult to pinpoint a solid trail of where her guildmate ran off to, the area scattering her efforts like a shotgun round. "Dremmick, remind me next time to ask Inigo to help me single out scents. He's really good at that." Morgan remarked, taking a moment to sort out her thoughts, thinking about her surroundings and trying to visualize any landmarks that would lead to the a possibility of finding Cilia.

[Jollan]

Dremmick landed next to Morgan and started following her on the streets below. "I hope that doesn't mean you've lost her," he said jokingly. "How about instead of tracking her scent, we try tracking her by sensing her magic power? She should stand out like a sore thumb with all these regular people around. Should be easier with her being a dragon slayer."

[booksmusicanime]

Ris was next to the forest, pacing and trying to catch her sister's scent along the treeline. She had caught her sister's scent while farther back in town but she had lost it the moment she reached one of the side streets. Ris was highly tempted to go back and retrace her steps, just to find if Cilia had tricked her. She let out an annoyed growl in the back of her throat.

[ShadowVentus]

@Jollan
Morgan giggles at Dremmick's minor error, making her smile seem more genuine than before. "Sounds like you still have Ris on your mind. I think you're on something though! Her magic is rather unique, so I could probably track it down no problem..." With that being said, Morgan closes her eyes and takes a moment to single out Cilia's power. For now, she was able to locate a small sense of it. Opening her eyes, she started heading in the general direction of her energy. "The path isn't fresh, but it's still something! So, how have you been holding up, Dremmick?" Morgan decided to start a bit of small talk with her party member, feeling rather comfortable around him.

[Jollan]

"Right as rain," he replied, skipping over her first comment. Truth is, he was thinking about Ris, but he didn't have to admit that. "Still getting used to the new cyclops perspective, but I'm getting used to it. I just hope we find her before anything bad happens to her. Are we getting close?"

[ShadowVentus]

@Jollan

"Yeah,her magic is spiking nearby...somewhere around there!" Morgan exclaims, pointing towards what appears to be a small cottage. The vines growing along the exterior of the building indicating that it hasn't been used for quite some time. Regardless of its appearance, there's a chance that Cilia was in there. Morgan was willing to take it. "Think we'll be fine by ourselves, or shall we signal the others that we're on to something?" Morgan inquires, eager for Dremmick's answer.

[Jollan]

"I have an idea, but you won't like it. We can't risk losing track of her, and since you can find your way back here better than I would, I want you to get the others. I do want to be able to stay in contact with you, so like Leon, I'm going to need to form a blood bond with you temporarily," he stated as a short, crimson, syringe-like needle started coming from his right index finger. "Kinda invasive, I know, but I've learned to make it painless and we'll need communication.

"Okay then, off to find Cilia," Terra said, ready for a quest. She was floating around on her crystal assisted staff watching the others, waiting to explore a little.
