Having the animal in her arms felt like magic. Ariel beamed knowing that she was back with friends and eventually would be safe with them as well. A silent laugh passed her lips as the fur was felt against her pale skin but she loved it all the same. Everything felt right within these walls and she promised herself to never leave again.

So the boys would be back later? That was good to know and she would gladly wait. At the offer to rest, she simply nodded her head and glanced around before spotting the couch. With a final hug to Hera, she pointed to the couch before walking over and easily sprawling out onto it. It was comfortable. So much more than anything else and it didn’t take long for her eyes to close and sleep to claim her.

Hera made her way over to where Ariel slept with a blanket clutched in that strange tail hand she had. She tossed the blanket over her and tucking her in nicely. The cat purred proudly at her feat before joining the girl on the couch for a nice nap.

She didn’t know what was going on but she could hear Erow’s voice. There was another sound with it but she didn’t recognize it as someone she knew. Going towards it, she stopped the moment she caught sight of someone arguing with her friend. The words coming from the stranger’s mouth made her eyes narrow but when she heard the words ‘broken shadow’, anger pushed through her in a way she couldn’t describe. Stomping up to the stranger, Ariel shoved the man to the ground with as much strength as she could muster. Of course she knew that Erow could defend himself but she couldn’t just let that happen. If she could she would have screamed at the twili on the ground but instead she made a noise with the air from her lungs. It wasn’t pretty but she didn’t want it to be. This was her way to protect her friend after all the times he had protected her.

Erow snarled at the twili who got into an argument with him. This time, Erow hadn’t started it. He was only walking by when the man backwards comment about him. The shadow wasn’t about to take that sitting down. The argument hadn’t lasted that long. Erow was getting ready to pound the other’s face in his skull. That was until Ariel came from behind him, charging head on into the twili. As tall as the being was, he wasn’t prepared for it, and was taken down easily. Erow was in awe at what just happened. At first not sure what just happened in that span of a second. Quickly he began to understand. A smug grin appeared on his lips.

“What happened, Buddy? You were all high and mighty a minute ago." He said, a small laugh in his tone.

"Ugh, where is she?!" Erow snarled.

Even Erow was getting concerned about Ariel. Rowan had responded gingerly. His concern matching his shadow.

"I-I don't know..,"

"She's going to get it when I find her! She'll regret taking off, that's for damn sure!" He continued.

Erow hadn't meant any harshness in his words. He was scared. Scared something may have happened to his friend. Rowan knew this well. He knew Erow was just scared that something happened. What else were they suppose to think? Ariel ran off. The only hint of where she might have went was the trail of deku nuts. They were sure Ariel dropped them. Since Deku nuts weren't something twili usually carried around.  They had been following the trail. Both hoping that it was the right path. The metaphorical bread crumbs eventually lead through the portal. There were only a couple after that; leaving the trail cold. They were in the same place, same town they had met the girl before. The search went on for about an hour. Both of them growing more concerned the longer they didn't see her. They had one last place to look. The beach. The place where this had all started. That had to be where she was. They looked everywhere else. Where else would she be?

Neither knew what to expect.

They only hoped Ariel was alright.

Today is national “Kiss A Ginger Day”.

Rowan was sitting calmly in his chair reading a book. It was an off day, calm and a bit chilly. He had the fireplace going, keeping the house nice and cozy. His cat resting on his lap, sleeping peacefully. Erow was on the couch, just laying there getting ready to take a nap. He didn’t feel like going anywhere today. No, today he just felt like laying around.
