~*~ Agate ~*~

Agate takes a deep, shuddering breath and sniffles, then finally stops crying. Whether she's feeling better or whether she just has no tears left is unclear. She rests her head against Onyx, mindful of her horn, of course.

"Yep. It's a start, and we're gonna be all right. Gotta be, somehow. Thanks, Onyx...'m really glad you're here."

> Onyx <

Onyx manages a small smile, his dark eyes still a bit misty, but at least looking in slightly better spirits. "I'm glad you're here too... doubt I'd be getting along half as well if I didn't have my sister around..."

He butts her gently, hoping to lift her spirits a bit as well. He says in a rather joking manner, "Besides, bossing somebody around makes me feel better. Even if I don't quite know how to go about doing it..."

~*~ Agate ~*~

Agate is actually smiling, though it's faint and more to reassure him than anything else. "Well, 'm not that easy to tell what to do. Sometimes I just...forget. Or I just don't wanna do it...or I get distracted..." She looks just a bit impish as she says this.

Suddenly, she sobers, once again looking older than she should. "But I'm really gonna try and be better. Think they'd want that...last thing they said was I hadta listen to you. And I haven't always." She takes another deep breath, willing herself not to cry again, and actually succeeds. Somewhat.
 
> Onyx <

Once again Onyx nuzzles his sister in a comforting sort of gesture. "I think we're both going to have to try a little harder. And be a little more patient with each other, too. We'll figure it out."

He gestures out of the grove. "Come on. I think we've got things as sorted as we're going to right now..."

OOC: Back to the Lantern Waste thread!
 
~*~ Agate ~*~

Agate nods, then darts out ahead of him as she usually does. Suddenly, she slows her pace to a walk, her head drooping a bit.

Nothing feels like it used to anymore...just doesn't feel right.

There are a few birds circling overhead, and their song is almost grating to her sensitive ears. She lets out a little sigh as she heads back towards the Pool.

'S not their fault. They don't know.

OOC: Further up! Further in!
 
## Icefang ## (and company)

Icefang paced about for a bit before looking up at the others.

"We need to figure out where we should try and go. If we head north towards the mountains, we are likely to encounter somewhat more fierce resistance from the queen's forces. If we travel east, we will be moving towards the sea. So perhaps south would be our best option for now?"

OOC: I've made a map to kind of get an idea of where everyone in this RP should be right now. Understandably, Ninecatcher and co. don't know about Icefang and co. or the unicorns and likewise is true about the others. I think I got everyone right, but if there are any problems with it just let me know.

~*~Ava~*~

Ava walks up to Icefang after following him down to the river. "I think we ought to go south. If we head toward Archenland, perhaps we will find some help. Just remember Icefang, I know you are not keen on large cats but if we do meet some or if the leopard from back in the clearing do come, we ought to at least give them a chance."
 
Icefang replied to Ava

"Hm. Yes. Perhaps it would do us good to go south. We should start by going to the Great Woods and seeing if we can find any of the wolves I met up with earlier. I'd rather have help from my own kind than to ask those cats for help."
 
OOC: Thanks, K-of-N, for the map. Ninecatcher is tearing eastward from where you show her as fast as she can; but given the size of the territory mapped, she has not made it far enough yet to make an appreciable difference in her marked location. If you head south, you might well meet the centaur Marius and the Archenlander Bryan, who were with Ninecatcher till recently. By the way, in progression of time, Ninecatcher is in only the first night since the "onstage" action began.
 
After resting at the side of the river, letting the cool water wash over the cuts and scrapes on his paws, Icefang picked his head up and looked over at where Ava and Kayla were sitting.

"I was thinking, have you heard of a human settlement to the south? When I was working with Jadis, I had heard whispers from among the other wolves that they had seen a large human settlement far to the south past the mountains. As much as it pains me to say this, perhaps we could use their help. I don't know if they would be any more capable of defeating Jadis than us animals would, but the idea of strength in numbers is something we wolves value greatly."
 
OOC: hello. :)

IC: Flower came trotting up behind the others.

"Doesn't it get warmer to the south? I'm tired of frozen everything. I know my home is that way to... So if we find any black cats let me know!"

She thought a moment.

"Resistance. Hmm. Humans, never hated them never was close to em. I've heard little about humans... Little will you find of them from me."
 
"I just barely know it. Like I said, I had to study geography as a kit (it has something to do with female foxes leaving home) and it was taught by a centaur who has been all over the place. He said that if you go past the mountains to the south, you are no longer in Narnia at all. They are a friendly country but a different one; it is completely run by humans. He called it Archenland. Southward seems like it is our best bet for any form of safety or resistance. Perhaps the witch won't even go into Archenland."

OOC: I know by the time that the Pevensies got to Narnia the creatures had forgotten all about their human neighbors to the south. I wonder why that happened. Perhaps Jadis did something to make commerce impossible. Perhaps she made a large ice across the pass, maybe we ought to do something that makes it happen.
 
OOC: I wonder if Lewis had even thought of Archenland when he wrote LWW. I'm trying to think if Archenland even appears outside of HHB? I don't remember any references in SC or LB, but I could be wrong.

However, the idea of somehow cutting Archenland off from Narnia might be an interesting plot idea.
 
BIC:

"Alright then. It's settled. We should rest up tonite and let our wounds heal some more, and take off early tomorrow morning. We will head south, first to the great woods to try and meet up with the other wolves, after that we will head southward to the mountain ranges in hopes of finding others to help in the fight against Jadis."


OOC:

This should end our River discussion. Once everyone is back on, we'll start moving southward.
 
OOC: finally I found the boat instead of missing it..lol

IC: Kayla limped and nearly fell once. "Sure is nice and quiet here." she said.
 
:Sterling:

Sterling lets Flower gets ahead of him, enjoying the scenery. He hadn’t been outside the castle really since Mama and Papa had been turned to stone, and it’s nice to see the icicles and snow. Everything is so pretty. He barely notices the person who spoke to Flower. He has a mission, and at the moment, that is getting to know the other cat.

He heard a yowl, and rolled eyes, pick up his speed. He comes out by the river and scampers over to sit by Flower. “Sorry, I was just looking around. I didn’t mean to get so very far behind you,” he smiles brightly, seeming more relaxed without so many other creatures around.
 
OOC: Ummmm you can't say he stopped to catch a mouse because you are not Sterling. That's kinda god-modding. And I think this was just supposed to be between Sterling and Flower, but *shrugs* I guess not
 
OOC: Hold the phone...Marianne and Sterling need to wait for their turn in the other thread to pose out and come over here...also, I'm fine with Marianne following, but she should make sure she has a /reason/ IC to do so.
