Aqua sighed, but shook her head. "It was a lot of fun.." she smiled behind her visor. "Have you guys flown before? I'm getting the feeling I'm the only one who hasn't, ahaha.." she trailed off. "..Oh and, was your flight well?"
Rion proposed continuing on foot. They had flown for hours, but maybe the dragons would need to rest now. She felt revitalized after experiencing flight for the first time, so she was awake and ready to head for the target zone or to take first watch, if need be.

Silver laughed a bit at Aqua's reply to her question. She seemed a little scared, which Silver expected, but also excited. Really excited That's what she was hoping for. Silver couldn't help but find that reaction sort of...adorable.
"It's really fun in the rain. I'll have to take you sometime. And all those other times, too if you want."
She laughed more as Aqua continued explaining the things she saw on their flight in a very excited manner. She must have never been in the sky on anything before; seemed like it was a really big deal to her. Aqua then blushed and quickly pulled down her visor, which made Silver laugh even more. She didn't see this more curious, playful side of Aqua before. She liked it. It was funny.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it. That won't be the last time, I promise you that. You might like flying on Enfurnus too, he goes a little slower so you can really take in everything!" Silver said, smiling still.
Enfurnus scoffed a bit, though...he couldn't help but find what he saw of Aqua's reaction charming, too. He wasn't fond of Silver's tendency to use dangerous maneuvers, but...she knew what she was doing. He had to keep telling himself that.
"You okay Aqua? It wasn't so bad, hm?" The big red dragon looked at her with a slight smirk. "You're welcome, also." He looked to Terra after she thanked him for the flight.
Silver then shifted back to her human form and walked up to Rion in a somewhat rushed manner.
"It was fun! She loved it. Hello!" Silver smiled at him as she spoke. She seemed to be in a pretty good, relaxed mood. Most of that was from her very enjoyable flight with Aqua, but some of that was from seeing Rion again; safe and back around her.
Enfurnus then shifted back to his human form as well.
"We can continue forward. Might need to take a rest before we enter the cave though, I don't think fighting on no rest is a very wise idea. Who knows what will be in there." He crossed his arms and looked at everyone in the group.
Silver was actually fairly tired; she didn't ferry others around often and it took a bit out of her. She could've used a rest now, but...the others were all ready to go, and she didn't want to hold them back. Plus, this was a mission that needed to be dealt with swiftly in her mind. So, she stayed quiet.

Rion smiled a bit, glad that Silver seemed to be in better spirits, whatever the reason may be. He was a bit curious as to why she flew off in a hurry before, but decided it wasn't particularly worth worrying about. He looked to Aqua, who asked if he had flown before. "Well... Not quite like this, but I've been on an airship a few times in my life. Definitely a different feeling, for sure." He said with a laugh, before Enfurnus noted that they could head forward and would likely need to rest before going into the cave; a plan to which Rion nodded in agreement. "That works for me, seems like we could probably rest any time we feel ready to, but for now let's go ahead and press onward. If we get to the mountains before then, we can rest at the base." He started, before looking in the direction of the mountains and starting to make his way forward.

"I guess you could say that," Terra smiled at Frida's question. She'd never ridden in an airship nor on a dragon before, but she had enough control over her own powers that heights didn't exactly bother her.
It sounded like they were going to continue on through the night and stop for rest a little closer to their destination. That suited Terra just fine. Her legs were a bit stiff from sitting so long and she had energy to spare. She decided to take point at the front of the group with Rion and held aloft a fireball to illuminate the way.

Aqua nodded at the other's comments. She had heard of airships before, but hadn't seen one. The Frontier relied on it's naval fleet for travel; passing through the waters took a well seasoned crew in the cold months. Not a problem for dragons or airships though, she figured.
Aqua felt ready to move on, but would let the dragons rest if they needed to. After Rion announced they'd be moving on and Terra took the lead, Aqua figured it best to take the rear. "I'll watch our backs then." she said, reaching up and pressing a button on the corner of her visor. The device hummed for a moment, and as the black lens turned a bright yellow and shined wherever Aqua's head turned. She drew Sharksbane and crystallized a spear head at the end, prepared for any attackers.

Silver simply nodded at everyone wanted to push forward, then followed along. She stayed behind Rion; though closely behind him.
"It's a long walk," Silver added "and we should rest far enough away from wherever the blight is....'cus that wouldn't be a fun way to wake up."
It was something worth thinking about; resting too close to the blight could give away their position too soon and alert whatever is in there, and the blighted critters could strike them in their sleep possibly. Which would kind of suck.
"She has a point. Let's make sure we keep a bit of a distance. I don't feel like getting ambushed tonight." Enfurnus replied to her statement, as he hung in the back with Aqua. He looked at her.
"I will assist you in guarding the back."

Rion looked briefly at Terra and Aqua as they took their points in the group, then looked to Silver. "All right, then. Good idea." He said to Silver, then looked back to Enfurnus with a nod, proceeding ahead once Silver and Enfurnus took their positions. "It's still gonna be a while before we're near the mountains anyway, so we'll likely need to stop before we get there regardless." He added as he walked ahead. If nothing else, it was a fairly peaceful evening; no storms or bad weather to be concerned about... though it was a bit of a quiet walk.

Aqua looked at Enfurnus, shining her visor on his face before pulling her gaze away. "Sorry about that," She adjusted the light's brightness with a touch of the screen, and brought it down. "I'm used to using it to see around the ships at night." Her face was now lit up on the other side of the visor, and the beam lowered in strength. "Silly question but, do you have any idea who this blight mage might be?"

Silver yawned as she walked along. She wasn't fully alert, but....alert enough to be aware of her surroundings. She was less on edge around the group now, so that was nice. She still wasn't sure of Terra, but...she had to have some good intentions if she was still with the group, right?
She walked along quietly, thinking.
Enfurnus looked at Aqua's visor, blinking a bit as it shone light in his face. Interesting device.
"Seems useful. No, I have no clue. Back ages ago they used to be more prolific, but now...it's just anybody they manage to convert that also happens to be strong enough. They're also well-hidden to most of us still. But...to me, their name doesn't matter. Just need them dead."
Then...there was slight rustling in a bush nearby. Whatever it was, it was somewhat small, because the noise was rather quiet. An animal of some sort, maybe?
Silver put her hand on her sword regardless...but from her days in the forests, she knew it was very unlikely to be a threat, whatever it was. She was used to these sounds. She did stop walking though and stared at the bush.
Then a few seconds after....a little fox walked out of the bushes and walked up to Silver; it was limping. It then sat down in front of her and stared at her with sad cute eyes.
Silver smiled and knelt down, taking her hand off her sword. She pat the fox on the head.
"I think it's hurt. I'll keep an eye on it for the night."
She then picked the fox up and held it. It didn't protest at all...it seemed quite content. It licked Silver's face.
Enfurnus sighed. "Typical....you haven't changed a bit, have you? Oh well. It'll be our new friend for a bit then."

Rion looked over at Enfurnus as he spoke about the mages, not caring for who they were as long as they were stopped. He then nodded in agreement; in the end, all that mattered was stopping them. After a while, a rustling in a bush broke the relative silence... but it was a very light rustling, as if it were from something small. Raising an eyebrow, Rion watched as a fox made its way up to Silver, looking up at her sadly. Tilting his head, Rion watched as Silver pat the fox on the head, seeming to pay no real mind to the fact it was a wild and injured animal. Oddly enough, the fox seemed perfectly content with this. "... Huh." He said, hearing the response from Enfurnus then shrugging his shoulders. "I... guess so?" He found no real reason to be bothered by it, there did not appear to be any signs of danger aside from him wondering what might have wounded it in the first place, but it seemed to already take a liking to Silver.

Aqua blinked at Enfurnus' answer. "Well. That is true." She trailed off, not sure what else to say. There mission was clear enough, details were already hazy. If Enfurnus couldn't tell her, then it might not even matter like he says. She spotted the bush moving off to the side nearby Silver, but before she could warn her or say anything the girl was prepared herself. Aqua stepped forward to move in, but then a small fox wandered out into the opening. It was injured, and hardly a threat.
"Poor thing." Aqua sighed. Silver picked it up, and the thing started licking her. "Looks like you made a friend, huh?" Aqua chuckled.

Terra frowned. She had done her share of hunting back before Delfier had been overtaken and she'd never seen a wild animal behave in such a way. The fact that it seemed injured should have made it even more wary of humans than usual, but it was acting like some tame pet. It made Terra uneasy. If they were closer to the Blighted area she'd have assumed the animal was infected and meant to bite them. Maybe dragons were just generally more attuned with forest creatures than humans were. Even so, it was probably best to leave it alone. If they carried it with them through the night it would never be able to find its way back home, especially with an injured leg.

Silver turned to Aqua and walked up to her with the fox, noting her positive reaction.
"Look how cute it is. It must really need help, or be used to people or something...I've never seen one so open to being picked up? Makes it easier for me, I guess." She said to Aqua and smiled a bit.
The little fox whimpered slightly, as if it understood what Silver said to some extent and wanted pity. Silver raised an eyebrow, then shrugged. Probably just coincidence. She pat its head again, and its tail wiggled slightly in delight.
She then assumed her previous position, ready to move on.
"Sorry for the hold up. Let's continue. And maybe set up camp soon?"
Enfurnus nodded in response to that, though didn't seem to have much to say.

Aqua leaned in for a closer look at the fox. It looked pretty worn out. "It looks like a cub. Maybe it has family around here? If we're gonna camp out, we should do it soon so we aren't taking it too far away.." She said to Silver. Aqua pursed her lips. While it was cute, it didn't make sense that a wild animal, an injured one at that, would just walk up to a group of people and jump into one's arms. Dragons must be special. She felt like asking Enfurnus, but thought it'd be better to just let this one play itself out.

Rion scratched his head, seeing how easily the fox took to Silver's presence... and how easily Silver was willing to take the fox with her. With what Aqua said about not taking the fox far away from what was likely its home, Rion nodded. "I'd say that's a good idea. Let's keep moving for now, but keep an eye out for someplace where we can set up camp." He recommended as the group continued on. He couldn't help but feel like something was off about the fox, as it really did act different than any expectation of an injured animal... but Enfurnus seemed to know more about the topic and by the looks of things had seen similar things happen, so he was not going to worry about it too much for the time being. That did, however, leave the matter of camping such a ways away from their destination...
