[b][u]Thaum: Bugtanical Gardens(Group A)[/b][/u]

[b]“Oh, Metal Sis!! Little Missy! Save meeee!!”[/b]

Don was scared of bugs? It was hard to believe. Xan let out a soft chuckle before giving him an encouraging tap on the back. "This is unexpected. Don, you survived Los Paraisos and beat the bad guy." [i]Not to mention, you beat death too.[/i] She didn't include the last part and instead gave him a smile. "I'm sure you'll survive this just fine, and Dylan is right. It's a group activity, so it can't be that bad." Estelle suggested Dylan and Lisette draw and Xan lit up. "Sounds pretty, let's get to work then." She gave Trixie a salute then scanned the area.

Men, women, and children scampered around excitedly with nets in hand. They were all competing for the title of Bug catching team of the year. Lisette began talking about how much she loved bugs and how interesting they all were and Xan laughed. "It's not every day I meet someone so enthusiastic about those critters." She turned to look at Kapi and Isaac, just to make sure the two weren't lost. "You must love animals, and both of them seem to adore you." Isaac when not clinging to Kapi would poke Lisette with his nose as if asking for attention.

The metallurgist turned to look at Estelle. "I suggest we head deeper into the forest, leader. The bigger bugs most likely need more space. Also, if we split up I suggest we up somewhere noticeable and easy to find." She tried not to focus on either Don or Estelle when she said the last part. She hadn't been with the pride for long but she realized that both lacked a good sense of direction. She finished off with a smile and a salute as if it were a serious mission all the same.

Xan pointed her net towards the darker part of the forest. A red flag hung from one of the branches.

"The red zone? I see we have some brave challengers this year." Thomas smiled at the pride and readjusted his hat. "Stay safe and remember not to harm the wildlife, folks?" A little kid tugged on the hem of the guide's shirt and gave the pride a wave before leaving to help the child.

"Wait wildlife?" Xan called out with an arch of the eyebrow.

Thomas looked over his shoulder. "The garden is home to a lot of Thaum's creatures. I'll see you when the contest ends in a few hours."

"Oh...well, um, that's interesting."
