Aret noticed his red cheeks and sat up on his chest, looking down
at him. She tilted her head slightly and laughed, moving her hands
to tangle in his hair. "Despite not liking affection from anyone
else, you're alright with me... Why is that?"
----------------
Selaphiel turned to look at the cloud. "Two more minutes until the
gas reaches us." She informed, motioning to the very close cloud.
𓍊𓋼𓍊𓆑 𓇗𓋼 **•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚ You are the light

Erik runs after the light laughing ,completely forgotting he was
not alone. He looks back smiling at the others waving his hand.
"Sorry for this...I usually forgot that my element is lightning and
I can the very fast". He laughs
◇
"Can you actually wait for us...". He sighs. "These little cute
paws are not made to run like you do". He shouted at Erik
"M-Miss Selaphiel, I am feeling mild discomfort about the ominous
cloud of poison that is approaching us... do you have a plan about
countering or evading said poison cloud? If not, please refrain
from alerting us until thirty seconds... please..." Well, Lean was
slightly underrating her feelings but most of what she said was
accurate.

Chiara giggles a little and makes a small movement with her hands,
as if she was sculpting something. The will-o-wisp stopped briefly
and suddenly had two little dots as eyes and a tiny smile, as it
floats in front of Erik. "That should distract him from the
apparition becoming slower."
You know the first rule in combat?
Shoot them before they shoot you.
Yasuo follows the light as he looks at Odyssey who shouts at
Erik.
"Not my problem,but maybe You should stop being like that. He is
just a kid anyways". Yasuo turns away and looks at Chiara.
"Im sure the orb will show us the right path".
As the will-o-wisp stops floating Erik watches it carefully. It
seems to have eyes and a smile. "Guys look at her!". He points his
fingers to the light smiling.
"The wind wanderer is right, my child. Erik is a little
inexperienced and naive but he has the right mind. It is your
job... well, ours now, to guide him on the path of rectitude and
mold his strengths and weaknesses correctly. Cynicism is a very
flawed approach on that." Chiara said, eyes closed as she
concentrates a little on the will-o-wisp doing a few gestures like
floating mid-air, spinning around and overall being just a shining
light of sweetness.
You know the first rule in combat?
Shoot them before they shoot you.
Erik watches the will-o-wisp surprised. "You are so small and
cute". He looks up to the sky and claps his hands. "You know I can
fly too? But my wolf form is a bit large...but it has wings!" He
smiles watching the will-o-wisp flying around
◇
He narrows his eye and wags his tail nervously "You know, kids are
not my thing...not my thing at all. All my life I tried to escape
from kids screaming and jumping around.". The fur on his back
standed up. "Kids are scary"
Yasuo looks at Odyssey surprised and mad in the same time.
"As a cat,what do you even know about kids?". He looks at Erik
being happy with the will-o-wisp,laughing and following it.
"Plus,Erik is fine. He is not causing any trouble".
Chiara smiles a little, making the will-o-wisp shout in excitement
and then swirling around Erik like a firefly, smiling. It was a
little floating cutie.
The saint meanwhile, sighs a little. "Humans were scared of fire
too you know? All they knew were forest fires, lightning strikes
and burnt homes. But soon someone found a fire that they could
enjoy... and use. A campfire." She looks down at Odyssey, smiling
again. "... don't assume that every kid is going to get you. Could
you really think of him as harmful?" Her fingers points at the
jumping wolf boy, playing with the glowing orb.
You know the first rule in combat?
Shoot them before they shoot you.
Odyssey gets angry and looks at Yasuo. Again he pointed the
tail-laser to Yasuo and marked it with a red dot on his forehead.
"You know nothing about my past!" He shouted at Yasuo.
Odyssey hears and looks at Erik laughing and playing with the
will-o-wisp. "Yasuo you are lucky that I need to stay on Erik's
side. Also Chiara is here too." He growls.
He turns away and looks at Chiara nervously. "Well I had a
really...not amazing past with some evil kids." He sighs and lowers
his tail as the red dot disapperas from Yasuo's forehead
Chiara makes the will-o-wisp dance a little and sighs, turning away
from Erik and stopping the two. "Look, my children, I know that you
two have your differences and I know that going on each other's
nerves like bickering brothers can be fun on occasion... but I
would like to get to Macedon quickly to help out with their
duties." Now they get to see why she wears a veil most of the
time:
A frustrated grin forms, her eyes close but to a tiny slit to still
see the two and her voice is borderline bone chilling, while not
mad in the slightest.
"So can we... please resume our travels?~"
You know the first rule in combat?
Shoot them before they shoot you.
Erik follows the will-o-wisp..to Yasuo and Odyssey. "Hei what is
wrong now?" He ask curiously while looking at them
◇
"Me?" He growls and looks at Yasuo. "Maybe should not talk abput
something you dont know. And stopnstanding in my way". He walks
away lleaving everyone behind
"Or maybe You should stop acting like this right now. All of us got
a mission and we should finishh it." He follows Odyssey. Yasuo
looks back to Chiara and Erik and waves his hand. "Lets go"
Chiara makes the will-o-wisp disappear and claps her hands
together, eye twitching a bit. A hand out of pure light picks up
Odyssey and pulls him back to the group, while another hand puts
itself on Yasuo's mouth to shut him up. She was nearing her end
with the two but did do her best to stay friendly. "Please." Her
voice was now very... tense. "Let us not argue."
You know the first rule in combat?
Shoot them before they shoot you.
Erik watched without saying anything. He just didn't understand
what is going with Yasuo and Odyssey. "What is wrong?" . He looks
around for the will-o-wisp but it disappeared.
◇
"Now what the....". While walking away something picks him up,he
looks back and see a hand made of light pulling him back to them.
Odyssey slaps his head with his paw rolling his eye. "For real
now?"
"Please." They saw it now. Chiara's smile was forced, she was
sweating nervously, her hands were a little jittery and she had a
hard time holding herself back. "No more."
You know the first rule in combat?
Shoot them before they shoot you.
"Alright. Let's go now" . He waits for Chiara and Erik to continue
the journey. While walking he felt bad for the way he was acting
with the cat, childish and pathetic. Yasuo looks at Chiara
"Im sorry Miss Chiara. I know it was annoying but I hate his
personality". He gulps.
"It wont happen again".
