Meanwhile, Sayan was elsewhere... thinking about something. It truly was foolish of me to judge this place so harshly at first. Perhaps this time, I'll get to know it better... The Amur leopard didn't want to disrupt/disturb anyone else, so he was alone. After experiencing a taste of the real world and the removal of his collar though, he was more confident of the haven and the protection it provided.

"well okay" Chica said, and finished the prey. "now what should we do right about now" she thought out loud

"I'm, going to see if I can find that earlier snake, he looks a lot like skalicen," Chica said, and began to walk around, remembering whe she last saw it

From a distance, Sybil's squeals of happiness was heard on the shore. She was "surfing" on top of one of the orca, the youngest member in fact. When she had the chance, she would stand in two and balance herself, feeling the quick breeze of the ocean wind. Who would have known she had moments of sheer fun, considering the responsibilities befall her most of the time?

OOC: Jaerl and Royal I do in third person. I use he rather than I. I only use first person with Aeriji, who I am being.

OOC: Alright. If you chance character, let us know.

When the baby orca swiftly approached the shore, he went to a sudden stop, scared of Rose and Sybil flying towards her, her head implanted on the sand while struggling to get out...

"Yeah yeah, alright. The poor little fella is just scared easily." she said still giggling, taking sand off her ears...

Jaerl: Dozens of shapes appear in the sand from when he was pacing. Giving up he get himself some lunch. Then as he munches on the fish, he perches on a rock and gazes out at the sea.

Royal: Royal is perched high in the trees above him, watching over him. He munches on his own fish but watches the shore making sure no trouble occurs. He starts to groom his wings as finishes.

Chica began looking around for aerigil, and spotted royal. "escuse me, have you seen aregil?" Chica called

Royal: Royal points to the tree to a tree several feet from him with his right wing.

"He's still inside his tree. He can't move remember," he says bowing his head.

"so the pain has come to that" Chica thought out loud. "thanks royal!" she called back up, and ran to the tree, picking up a few herbs and grass along the way.

Finally with no sand in her ears, Sybil proceeded to feel the water at her paws, giving her a sense of calmness. "What about you Rose? Did you come here alone? I thought you would be with Chica." Sybil commented, used to seeing Chica and Rose together all the time...

Deep inside my den I lay down alone gazing at the opening hoping that a particular person will come. The agony of my pain and being alone most of the time eats away at me like a fire does a log, slowly and painfully. My tail moves on its own as I rest. My ears twitch as I hear movement nearby. Could it be her, could it be Chica? I knew from the commotion outside and from Jaerl that Skaliscin has found another snake. I was happy for her but wanted someone of my own, especially to take care of me and comfort me as I recover.

"aregil? you alright? how's the wound?" chica tossed questions at aregil, but stopped, hoping for an answer about his wound.

While most of the crowd departed, Skaliscin and Voracivenom looked back on each other.
"You're not mad at me?" Skaliscin asked blankly.
"Why would I?"
"You don't remember? I left you-"
"That doesen't matter."
Skaliscin continued to stare, unblinking. "What does-s-s that mean?"
"I have no right to hold a grudge for this long-- especially when our kind's in jeopardy." Voracivenom curled his tail around Skaliscin's affectionately. "I'm just glad to see you again."
Skaliscin, hesitatingly, responded to her companion's gesture by squeezing his tail gently. "You have no idea."

During this exchange, Speckles was watching with extreme intentness. It was difficult to decipher what was going on in his head, as his facial expression seemed to be combined of multiple emotions.

I look at Chica and shake my head. In too much pain to speak I just lay still and let her determine the source of my pain. Many of the lesser wound have been scars while the worst one the one in my side remains unchanged.

Chica hopped in, and examined the blood stained grass that bandaged the gash. She ripped it off, carefully, then placed her paw on it. "just a pain test, let me know if it hurts" Chica said, and applied little pressure with her forepaw.

I yowl with agony and tears fall down my cheeks.

"Carefull Chica that really hurts," I say through my tears.

The gash that she put pressure on is the source of all my pain. Other than that she will find that the other wounds have become scars to join the owns I already have. All outside that are close enough hear the cry of agony. Royal is spooked by it and nearly falls of of his tree but catches himself before perching back on the branch. Jaerl, who is on a rock gazes up in the direction of the tree. Poor kitten, he's in so much pain, he thinks before returning to gaze at the sea. As he does though a tear falls from his right eye.

Chica chewed on the herbs she had collected on the way, and handed aregil some other ones that weren't touched. "painkilling herbs, you might want to take these" Chica recommended.

While waiting for Rose's answer, Sybil was reminded about the little meeting Skaliscin was having. Her original intention with the Haven was to meet someone of her own kind. She was feeling quite envious about the snake at the moment for accomplishing this.

I look at the herb and deciding that they might help, put them in my mouth. As I start to chew them, I realize the truth. They taste awful. However gathering as much courage as I can muster I swallow them. Maybe they will help dull the pain, I think to myself. I look back at Chica and smile.

"Thank you for visiting me, Chica. It gets so silent and lonely in here, I feel like I am in my own separate world, all alone, forever in pain."

Meanwhile, Sayan had found a small secluded pond in the forest and was laying down next to it. He was merely looking at his reflection, enjoying the peace and tranquility of it all. During his time in captivity, he found comfort in being alone. At present, he figured that solitude would be better then disturbing any others and getting into business otherwise left untouched. This was his home now (as he didn't plan to leave), but felt it wrong to force himself into others' lives. This was the reason for his leaving in the first place and something he hadn't quite got over.

OOC: If you can't tell, this post and the one above are strictly filler posts. They were merely posted to keep my character alive, as I have nothing else to post.

"its fine, i havent seen you around very much today so i kind of got worried," chica said, and applied the chewed up herbs on the gash, and wrapped new grass around the wound. "that should be better"

OOC: Sybil and Rose are at the beach. The others in the forest.

I look at her and nod.

"Well you won't I can't move from this place. Not till that gash is healed. It matters not what the reason is why you visit me Chica. All that matters to me is that you visited me, I say with a smile. Thank you for all of this, Chica. You really are the best person I've ever known." With that I curl up and fall asleep with tears still falling down my cheeks, trying my best to ignore the pain.

"well, I hope the herbs will help. To prevent infection and a bit of painkillers, I hope you get better soon" Chica said, turning to leave, but turned her head around for one last question, "by the way, have you seen a snake similare to skalicen around?"

I shake my head.

"Though I wouldn't be surprised if you found the two together. Scaliscin told me that he was dreaming of a snake every night. This might be that snake she was taking about."

ooc: thanks!

"Yah I came here alone. Chica went to look for Aregil." Rose said. She then looked out at the sea. "For some reason I always liked the sea. Before I came here my Momy used to take me to the sea and let me play in the water." Rose gave a small smile. "Heh, heh it was fun playing with her." Rose said. "I miss her."

Sybil knew how touchy she was with thay subject, so she came up with something to shield her off that memory; "I know, lets make a sand castle, as big as we can." The civet suggested, grtting eager...

"i see..... thanks aregil, i will visit again" chica thanked, and hopped out of the hollow tree. she sniffed the ground for any scent. sybil... maybe she has seen the snake she thought, and headed for the beach

Before waiting for Rose's answer, Sybil was already recollecting wet sand. It wasn't like her to be that playful and careless, considering how hostile and stressed she was a few weeks ago...

Voracivenom slid his tail away from Skaliscin's, which remained coiled up after his left.
"How did you s-s-survive?"
"Its a long story; I want to tell the rest of the island first so I won't have to repeat it."
Someone cleared their throat behind the two serpents. They turned their heads to Speckles, who was giving a pointing glare at Skaliscin.
"Oh, right. Voras-s-sivenom, this-s-s is-s-s S-s-speckles-s-s." She coiled her tail behind the velvet worm, urging him forward.
He approached, and, despite the obvious friendship the two snakes held with each other, watched Voracivenom with suspicion.

Just as Sybil was building her sand castle, she looked at the vast ocean, thinking how lucky was Skaliscin to have found somebody of her own kind. She really wanted the same thing to happen to her, but alas, the chances were low... or were they?

If there were still some Malabar Civets out there, they would have already found out about the Haven, don't they? Either way, Sybil kept hoping... maybe a handsome male? But then again, that would really disappoint Jaerl, whom she knew had a weird crush on her, and unknown to her, so did Cairo.

Sybil's head was a whirl. Too many things were happening on her mind right now. It was really giving her a headache...

chica followed sybil's scent to the beach, which was also mingled with rose's scent, and soon spotted them both, but sybil looked like she was in thought. "are you okay sybil?" chica asked, as she approached them

This was enough to crash Sybil's train of thoughts, and after recuperating, she denied her feelings to Chica, only answering'"Everything's alright."

OOC: Don't worry, I don't expect you to be full time here. Take the time you need

"Care to join us?" Sybil asked, determined to leave behind those weird thoughts she had by spending more time to those who have now become her family.

"sure" Chica replied, and begun piling up the sand. "have you seen he new snake around?" she asked, not knowing that Sybil was just trying to push away the thought of him with skalicen

"Yeah I have... hey, let's surf on an orca after this. I guarantee you two it's one of the funnest hobbies out here." she suggested, changing the subject abruptly...

"I never been surfing, orca or not" Chica said, noticing the quick change in the subject, although she doesn't know why.

"Good good." Sybil said, finishing her sand castle and going to the shore, calling Cairo to bring in some of his family members. Something was very off about her. Sybil was normally a stressed worrywarts, so how come she is so cheerful and carefree all of the sudden? Not even the civet knew...

Jaeral: Jaerl gazes out at the see from his perch in on the rock. A single tear falls down his face and splashes onto the stone. Soon more tears join the single tear, but still Jaerl makes not attempt to wipe them away, allowing them to fall.

Royal: Seeing the tears Royal flies down and embraces him. Only then does Jaerl bury his head into Royal's chest seeking the comfort of his father for the pain he feels. Royal know all to well what the little falcon is thinking about.

"Shh, its alright Jaerl, its alright, its alright, I'm here," he says trying to soothe Jaerl.

"yah, I guess the keas coming made her really happy" Chica said

"Oh not at all. Orcas may look big and scary, but they are actually very nice, unlike their reputation. Killer whales... how zany! Not any animal offers themselves to travel around the world and carry other species you know. That's why I have faith in the keas." Sybil explained, pointing out why she chose animals with bad reputations to help her. The orcas were nice to her and her guest, but it was a good thing she has never seen how viciously the whales kill their prey. That might change her way of seeing them... doesn't it?
