TKF: EVENSTELL

"Good. I was worried that I would have to stay here." Lucy said with a relieved smile.

---

"How long until the ship takes off?" the fox asked.

"Uh..." Lance replied and looked at his watch, "Good question, cause I have no idea."

"..." Guess it's a good thing I'm not a drgaon... Cause that wouldn't happen to me in a million years. "So... You left?" Lillian asked, trying to fill in the gaps of Ali's story. 

---

"N-no! Of course not. We're all leaving... No one's getting left behind, no matter what you did."

"Yes and no. I was banished when I was 17 and have been just kinda wandering about since then." She admitted. She put her hand up, "Don't get me wrong Cayde's a nuce guy and all but I don't exactly want a man if you catch my drift."

"...Oh." There's at least one thing we have in common... 

Ali shrugged, "I try not to let it bother me. So what's your story, Lilly?" She paused then added, "Is it okay to call you Lilly?"

"If you want." The name did bother Lillian slightly, but that was mostly just Raine talking. She... Could let it slide, "I... Lived in Kolerin until the war started." Lillian wasn't exactly sure why she was telling the dragon, but she kinda trusted her, "My sister was a supernatural. She... Died. And... I fled to Evenstell. Long story short, I became a pilot to stop that from happenin again..."

"Good reason to become a pilot that's for sure." Ali replied. The whirring of engines filled the air as the airships descended on the field kicking up dust as they did.

"Looks like our ride's here." The dragon hefted her bag further up her shoulder once again.

"Yours." Lilly corrected, "I'm going to catch up with everyone else when I get my 'special cargo'..." However, she didn't really want to leave Ali. "So... I guess I'll see you later, Ali."

"Yeah, catch you when we land." she said and winked at her as she got in the line to board.

Cayde had been looking around for a while now and still wasn't able to find Erik. He sighed and sat down, "Why is it whenever I get assigned to work with someone I always end up losing them in the crowd? Guess that's what I get for being a Nightstalker. Could be worse I suppose."

As he said that he looked up to see dark thunderclouds rolling in from the south. From how high up they towered in the sky he guessed this was part of a fairly large storm system.

"And it just got worse..."-he hung his head "Fantastic..."

Lilly blushed, watching the other woman leave with her bag. She hoped that she would meet Ali again... She really did. The dragon was intelligent, and pretty... Lilly felt herself blush more, and pulled the neck of her coat up higher to her face. D-dammit!

"Oh hey, there you are!" Erik finally caught up with the tall male dragon, looking somewhat relieved, "I was afraid I lost you for good."

Cayde looked up, "Dear Aliayah, I thought you just up and left me here Erik."

He stood, "Any luck on tracking down this Roy kid?"

"Not, but I've asked around. He's here alright, and not exactly a kid... His twentieth birthday is coming up in the winter. Regardless, he's most likely with his family still. I don't want to exactly rush him, especially since I dunno how he'll react to me." Erik replied, his tail swishing back and forth.

Cayde shrugged, "Okay that's one guy found. Now all that's left is to find our little serial killer."

(Yeah Cayde's looking for Umbra as well.)

"Yeah..." Erik honestly didn't want to get close to that guy; it sounded a lot better now to seek Roy out and get it over with. "You... Can go look for him, and scratch what I just said. I'll confront Roy finally so we can leave ASAP."

"What's the matter, Erik?" Cayde asked jokingly, "Afraid of psychopaths?"

Erik's nose twitched, looking kind of, "This isn't a joking matter, Cayde." The forest cat wanted nothing else to do with Umbra after they got him to Evenstell unless he had to.

Cayde shrugged, "Okay then. I'm just hoping he doesn't try killing someone important."

Lance was nearby with Viola and Umbra following him. Cayde arced a brow and smirked. Found you...


He started that way, "Erik...keep an eye out for Roy, once you seem him don't lose sight of him. I'm going to tail our serial killer friend over here."

"Alright... Meet me back here ASAP." Erik replied, going to search for Roy. 

(I'm going to wait a little more for Chirpy... But if she doesn't post soon, I'm just going to self RP it myself.)

(Okay. I'm going to post for Cayde and Umbra after work.)

(Okay.)

Lance got a strange feeling as they approached their aircraft. He glanced over his shoulder but didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

Cayde was off a little ways in the crowd, watching Lance Umbra and Viola as they boarded. He made a mental note of what Umbra looked like then the tail number of the aircraft he was on. They'd have him arrested as soon as that craft landed. The dragon worked his way on board just to be sure the flight went smoothly. He pulled out his phone and shot Erik a text saying what flight they were on and to have the Stellan police on standby for when they landed.

"That's good. Is there anything I'm supposed to bring? I don't really have much." Lucy asked.

---

"Is something wrong Lance?" Viola asked when her boyfriend looked over his shoulder.

Lance hesitated a little bit, "I'm getting this feeling like we're being followed."

"P-pretty much whatever you have is good..." Phillip hugged his own belongings in his bag to his chest, and still had a hard time wrapping his head around the fact that this was all he pretty much had going into Evenstell. It scared him.
