Sparkling Comet
Forum-Index → Roleplay → Sparkling CometThey flew back north to where the forest shrine was located.
Leo was headed towards the forest shrine, limping bit by bit. He thought he felt someone watching him during that mess of a hunt. He had forgotten thanks to the strain felt in his leg's nerves. The man dragged his injured leg, leaving a foot trail on the way into the mountains.
Mits walked along the trail of hound as it provided nice shading for her as they past specked of light, “I wander who was up there in the first place?” She questioned on what shadow she was seeing, but neither less she wouldn’t want to meet them in person, actually she wouldn’t want to meet anyone in person, her thoughts made her question on what she was doing. “I give up!” She lumped herself on a tree trunk dismissing her shadow hound by a wave. “This second guessing myself is getting annoying. She sniffled a bit.
Astral flew back to the wooden shrine and dismissed her wings. She went back to eating the fruit that another local had left for their intended deity. "Sorry, forest goddess, you won't care if I take this, right?" Astral laughed, not expecting a response. She kept chewing on some fruit that was sided by a warm piece of pork. This new offer was recent. She remained quiet, hearing footsteps as Leo finally arrived.
"Late. You know that I'm impatient, what's up with you?" She snarked, seeing the obvious injury that Leo was dragging with himself. Astral's hand held on to the pork by the edge, she was talking while chewing. She put down the bowl to address her company.
The hunter shot a glare as he sat on the ground. "Shut up and grab some water. Be of some help, would you? You know something about fixing wounds, right?"
The 'fairy' chuckled with a mischievous glare, "Ho~ ho~! Someone's upset that they missed their prey! What was it? A rock? How about a 'wittle bunny-wabbit'?" She put her hands up, using her fingers to imitate bunny ears from behind her head. Astral was enjoying this moment.
"Astral!" Leo snapped.
"Rude! You're ordering me around, when clearly I'm the superior one here? But fine, you're my normal customer," she counted something on her fingers then looked at Leo. "Give me five minutes... Also, don't touch my food," Astral sprouted her butterfly wings and flew off, leaving the stolen offering in front of the forest shrine.
"...Those shape-shifters better not have followed me," he mumbled, his eyes stayed focused on the spy (Mits).
Astral was flying through the forest in her smaller form. She was the size of a butterfly, sadly not in her normal attire, which was very uncomfortable for someone of casual wear.
The form had a practically forced her into a black dress with shoes that had laces tying around both her legs and forearms. Her hair had changed colour in this state to a near-translucent blue. Astral never really knew why this would happen. It didn't bother her all too much, however.
"Five minutes and counting... I'm honestly not surprised he got injured this badly," she mumbled to herself in her comically, high-pitched voice (another side-effect of this alternative form). "He should have brought more of his hunting 'trophies'."
(She shy, don’t forget.)
"Well, I can't keep after them... I'll just have to follow them and intervene if it's bad," Astral tailed after the dragons, only staying below their noses as they flew.
As the group approached Leo, Najima spotted the shrine and raised an eyebrow in amusement. She circled the shrine out of shooting range, saying "Alright, how do we want to do this?"
