Her eagerness to get going was evident, as the girl even offered to help them put stuff away, but Lucien told her there was no need. They hadn't taken too much out, since they knew they would be heading out soon. They had been quick to put away their chairs into storage, and Aurel went to get the large python to put her back in his trailer for the road, before placing the viper around his neck. If they were going to be travelling he figured he'd keep him on his person. Considering how curious Illyana was about the snakes, he figured it would give them a start to possible conversation. They had a five hour drive ahead of them after all. 

All of them piled into the bus once they were done, and Aurel and Illyana had ended up taking a seat on the bench, with  the girl sitting as far from the front as she could. He gave her her space and sat on the opposing side. After a moment of silence, he had decided to speak up, since he had told Faolan and Lucien he'd try to talk to the girl.

[color=#a7d3d4]"Um.. do you mind if I ask how old you are?"[/color] He asked her a little awkwardly, since they still didn't know how young the girl was. [color=#a7d3d4]"I'm fourteen."[/color] He offered, just in case she was curious. 

Meanwhile, Lucien and Faolan were up at the front, with Faolan at the wheel. Lucien had the map on his lap, so he could direct Faolan if needed. On the dash sat a small radio, which Lucien had turned on to play some music. This was mostly so the ride there wouldn't be silent, but also so Illyana might feel comfortable enough to talk to Aurel without worrying about them overhearing, though.. that was pretty hard with Faolan around.
