[B]On the road to Yonder...[/B]

Cello was expecting negative feedback, but it seemed like both humans genuinely liked Froggy.

"Interesting, I guess the kid has the potential to be a great guide then." Cello chuckled at the thought of Froggy leading people all around Nowhere and getting them hopelessly lost. He had a passion for what he did and was very likable, but as Skitz said Stephen was not the sharpest tool in the drawer. "Mhm, you're bound to see a lot more of magical stuff. Nowhere is great." Cello sounded enthusiastic as he bounded down the dirt road, eager to reach Yonder was quickly as possible. 

[b]"It’s Leon by the way.” [/b]

"Ace and Leon then, okay, it's less confusing this way." The guide turned around and began walking backwards. Cello laughed slightly though there was a hint of worry in his eyes. "You see, we [i]used[/i] to have another human named Elliot, so this makes it a lot easier." The guide didn't say anything else about the other Elliot and instead chuckled softly to himself. "We're headed for Yonder or Siren Lake, the other humans got their today, and you see, the Queen wants me to deliver you guys to the guides stationed there so you can meet up with the others." He shrugged, a toothy grin still plastered onto his face. "The more the merrier, right? There are about six or so of them."

He spun around and continued marching onward. It had been almost three hours, though in Nowhere it was impossible to tell and no clocks or devices that told time existed. 

"The guides at Yonder are great, there's a pretty mermaid, two rabbit sisters, a bird man, this bunny who likes tea, and a tea shop owner named after something involving math." Cello scrunched up his nose at the word math. He didn't know Two-Thirds as much as he knew the others, but then again, he wasn't a guide. Cello wondered why he was even there, but the Two-Thirds did have great tea, maybe he could buy some when he got there. "But enough of my rambling, what's it like being stuck in the square for so long? Most humans are shipped off on crazy quests the moment after the party. Though, I guess you guys are lucky. Did Froggy tell you about the first quest involving the Shakespearean?" Cello frowned but proceeded to walk down the dirt road with bouncy steps.

"And since we're getting to know each other and stuff, would you mind if I asked some questions." The trio passed a bunch of whispering trees, some looked upset when they passed and others complained about how rude it was to be so noisy late at night.

"Sorry, sorry, just passing through. Sending humans off to Yonder." Cello whispered.

At the word humans the trees began to converse louder than they had before. "Humans?" They'd whisper over and over in exasperation. It was an orchestra of hows and confused babbling. Eventually the trees focused on Leon and Ace then began greeting them all at the same time.

"What is the human world like?" One tree would ask.

"What do you think of Nowhere?" Another would butt in.

"Is it true that trees in your world can't speak?"

Cello laughed at all the commotion. "Calm down, calm down, don't frighten my human friends." The guide placed a hand on Leon's and Ace's shoulder then steered them out of the forest of talking trees. It took a few minutes in human time, but soon they were out and the trees were waving goodbye.
