[ so the guy who's been unconscious on Aerta's floor since yesterday afternoon is up and...... examining the backside of the fridge intently, though his face stills looks like the winner of the World's Worst Migraine award ]

[ --blinks ]

[sure is the gear he yoinked the very last night you saw him.

Quietly:]

It . . . takes a lot, to get back sometimes. But that helped, when I was tryin' to find a way out. Figured you'd want it back, though.

....

[ takes it in his good hand, thumb and pointer running over every groove and edge. ]

A screwdriver would've been easier to replace.

[shrugs, looking away]

You pissed me off.

...hahah...

[ clenches his hand around it, resting the fist against his forehead. ]

[folds his legs up and rests his arms on them, then leaning forward to rest his chin on those, quiet]

[ this is probably a fantastic time for a large shadow to fall on you from far above, isn't it? ]

[ if you look up, you see a small herd of gigantic lizards flying past ]

[ --jerks his head up to look ]

...

[ squints, getting to his feet ]

[just a beat or two slower, but getting to his feet, knife out and looking up]

. . . those are huge.

They're... what Aella called lizagons, I think.

[ pulling out a dangerous-looking bone knife from his own jacket, shifting his grip on it ]

Staying long might not be the best idea.

[. . . where the hell did you get that.

Wait no priorities, will ask later]

Then get movin', dumbass. [nudges]

[ The herd you see quite suddenly splits up, with three of them diving into the trees while the other two circle back to fly overhead and roar. ]

[ At this distance, the two look about as big as rhinos. ]

[ ...ho boy.

sticks the knife handle between his teeth and leaps back through the canopy, landing on the nearest bough and clambering down at speed ]

[OUR DRAGON IN PYXIS WAS BIGGER!!

I mean. Jumping down after Chrys]

[ As you head down, you may notice that YOU'RE NOT ALONE. ]

[ Those other three are closing in fast, shredding branches as they run along the trees to reach you. ]

[ yes but (a) that was one dragon and (b) did you ever kill any

CAN WE OUTRUN THEM... dropping as much as sprinting, winding sideways round the massive trunks and foliage, trying to put as much crap in the way between them as possible ]

[pausing on his way down to concentrate . . . and then resumes jumping down.

Those lizagons may run into a wall of wind on their way over, oops :)]

[ One of the lizagons slams right into the wall of wind with force and is knocked back. ]

[ But the other two plow right through immediately and continue the chase! You can't hear the two overhead anymore. ]

[ liiiightdamn. eyes flitting rapidly from branch to branch ahead even as he keeps moving, trying to spot anything among the brown and green that looks just a bit suspiciously not a real branch to a sharp eye ]

[tossing up another wall of wind in front of those two, then taking off again]

[ As you look ahead, those two you saw flying overhead dive in from above and begin to race towards you. ]

[ At least the ones behind you have been stalled temporarily. ]

[ .........of course those two weren't leaving us alone. Yanks the knife out from his teeth and grabs a vine with his other hand, sliding down it ]

Raven! What other arms do you have?

What do you mean, what other arms?! I just got here! I only got a knife!

[s-stopping and concentrating again, wtf can I do here aaaaaa]

Keep goin', I'll cover you!

[ At this rate, all five of those lizagons are after you. One even jumps on the same tree, making it shake as it races down. ]

Don't be an idiot---!

[ kicks off a tree trunk to swing out on the vine, shoving a hand into his jacket ]

Catch!

[ hurls something Raven's way-- and two bone knives thunk into the wood beside his feet ]
