The airship ride was quite somber in atmosphere except for the occasional murmur here and there whenever the the silence became too much to bear. After an early landing, it was announced that the engine had been drenched in honey. At that very moment it was clear who the culprits were. Discussion about the intents of the hooded figures erupted immediately and she started to get a little queasy. Walking the rest of the way wasn't a huge surprise and the quests had taken a positive toll on her body by increasing her physical tolerance and she even started to become slightly built. Ace was determined to take back all their items and Jasper all in on it. Only problem, they didn't have much of a plan. The comment about poisonous tea was rather unnerving, but it was pretty logical. She'd seen it play out in at least a dozen movies so it wouldn't surprise her if the tea being offered at this so called "tea party" would cause them to drop dead.

Hearing Inadi's frustration as he went off beside her, she couldn't blame him. This mission was supposedly one of the easier ones, but so far, thanks to those crooks, it was turning to be a difficult one. Reaching over to rub Inadi's back in an attempt to sooth him, his annoyance was causing her to worry even more and she really wasn't ready for any kind of ambush. Besides not being able to see ten feet in front of her, she wasn't equipped either. Hobbling over to Japhet and Est she took a glance at the map drawing for the first time.

Upon coming to a tree, Est suggested they take a turn, but Leila uttered a meek protest which she quickly apologized for. Meanwhile, Ran had bent down to eat something and she wasn't exactly sure that was safe. As she was about to walk over to him and swipe the thing from his grasp and girlish voice spoke out in a bratty tone. Next thing you know, she was holding two of them hostage; Toby and Leila. Japhet cast her off with a flashlight and Jasper was going to call her back for directions, but she resumed to call out her threat about a creature called a turtle dragon. As the floor began to vibrate, she broke out into a hesitant run with Inadi in tow. She could see Ran with Leila on board and Harper trailing close behind just ahead of them. "Wait up!" she called as she looked back and saw a haze coming closer. A peculiar barrier seemed to shielding them yet it still wasn't to consider the area safe. It must've been that little girl. She did say she was a witch. 

As she turned her head forward, she almost bumped into Est, but side stepped quick enough just to get on his left side. "How long is that thing going to follow us?!" Screeches filled the air and a cloud of bats flew up from an indented section of the forest floor. Swiping at the bats, she accidentally gave Est a [i]thwap[/i] across the face and she nor he realized it until the flying critters cleared out and she spotted the red hand mark across his lower cheek. "Oh my, I'm so sorry!" She bowed apologetically multiple times before hearing Ran call out from nearby by. "Ran. Leila. Harper. Are you guys there?" Jasper beckoned Est and Inadi to follow as she crouched down and inched herself over the edge to where they the voice was yelling from.
