Lee shrugged, having been distracted by the tiny shape shuffling through the woods behind them. While it was difficult for it to follow unnoticed in a building, the outdoors were much more comfortable for them. Lee turned back to the group as Arc spoke, the symbol meant little more to him than it did to the others, but the lights were concerning. As if in response the glittering wisps became more visible now, indistinct shapes that filled the space around Lee with light. [Color=darkblue]"Let's just hope we can find the kid soon, has anybody seen the lights since? I suggest we talk to the people who saw them. Otherwise we need somebody who can recognize the symbol here. The other obvious route is wandering aimlessly in the woods."[/color]

Meanwhile, the shape came into view, a small hooded figure wearing a thick white wool coat stared at Lee from behind a tree. Her fingers twitching as she suddenly lurched forwards, a large shard of bone erupting from the snow behind Lee only to be interrupted and shattered by the upper skull of a small dragon that seemed to warp itself into the space where the shimmering lights used to be. [Color=darkblue]"You haven't been practicing, your constructions are feeble and incomplete. Nice trick though, using the snow to hide your attack."[/color] 
Both constructs of bone faded away, like ash in a heavy wind.

The figure kicked at the snow angrily, removing their hood and waddling angrily in Lee's direction. [Color=violet]"Cheater, you could feel me standing there! Besides, MawMaw said it's more important to practice healing."[/color]

Lee nodded, pulling the girl closer as he spoke to the group. [Color=darkblue]"This is my daughter, Violet. I suspect her grandmother is out of town to meet a few friends, so I'm stuck with the little gremlin at the moment."[/color] The little girl grinned at the group, her crooked smile and messy, short cut hair almost matching her father's save that the girl still had mostly brown hair. Her eyes though, her eyes were different. They were deep like Lee's, windows to a truth that her face refused to betray... They seemed older, more intelligent than the eyes of a girl her age. And in some ways? They were unsettling.

[Color=darkblue]"Whatever we do, seeing as this doesn't seem inherently dangerous at the moment, she'll be coming along. Besides, she has more skill with healing than I do, in the case one of us gets hurt?. Also, to answer the earlier question, My mother has been living here for a while, But I showed up a little while after Violet was born. Joined the guild a good half year ago just to get the gremlin to stop bugging me about it."[/color]
