"[color=lavender]Yeah, that makes sense. That [i]would[/i] be reckless of you. Hmm, well, can you let me tell them?[/color]" Lyra didn't really like lying to them, either, and creative truths were still deception, to some extent. She was surprised when Zarah suggested a third path, but decided it would be for the best. Zarah must know what she's talking about, after all. Certainly more than she would herself.
     Yeah, people were definitely going to ask about her ears and tails. It would be difficult to disguise herself, unless Jesse had some trick. She might, Aeva powers were many, but at the same time, it was strange they sent someone so obviously different. She'd volunteered, so many that was why.

      It didn't take her long at all to notice Zigma's absence from Zarah's side. Aeva don't normally wander off. "[color=lavender]Zigma, if you start to feel funny at all, come straight back, hear?[/color]" There were some few cases of Aeva bring able to stray far from their bonded partner for extended periods. Zigma did seem like the sort to be able to do that, didn't he? Somewhere in her mind, she made a flimsy assumption.
     It didn't take her too long to notice they'd turned away from their destination. Jesse's marker was behind them. And not much longer after that to realize she was being led in a circle. Hmm... Maybe she should have kept her mouth shut, after all. Well, can't back down from it now. How to gain the girl's trust... She liked tech, so maybe that other pack command sent her with.
     "[color=lavender]Once we get acquainted with your village, I'll run back to my ship and bring your gift. It's another one of the flight packs I'm wearing, I can show you how to use it later.[/color]"

     [i][color=skyblue]You invited yourself in the first place, y'know.[/color][/i] 
     
     Ooh, she had, hadn't she. Now, how to step herself back. "[color=lavender]Ah, mm...[/color]" She bit her lip gently, unsure of how to proceed smoothly. Her ears and tail were also wild giveaways of her emotions, her ears folded down to the sides, and her tail still. She'd been eager to trust, and expected the other party to trust her in return.
    Actually, there was another thing she should be worried about, once she considered things. "[color=lavender]Zarah, have you spent time away from Zigma before? What's the furthest you've been from him?[/color]" Zigma was clearly more independent than Jesse, but that didn't necessarily mean he could go very far for long. He'd have to reunite with Zarah eventually, she knew, "[color=lavender]and, for how long?[/color]"
