"I'll stay here with Gwen." Cyna says.
Sādhanā gives Magestria a sympathetic look, knowing how difficult it must be to have lost something like flight. "My flying only works for short periods. Fifteen minutes at best. So I would need to ride as well."
She thinks to herself as she adds up their number, "Okay....so we have Rhy, you, Ylrhea, Sienna, Magestreia, Lea, Fae, Celia, and Ammon. So...if everyone here goes and I didn't forget to include anyone, that's nine people...so I should be able to handle that." Thinking for a moment she says, "After all of you get on, make sure you're close to my head Sadhana so that you can direct me to the caves. Are we all ready to go then?" She asks while making sure she has all of their stuff with her.
"You sure?" Sienna asks.
She thinks for a second and nods slowly, "Yeah....I can manage it. It puts me at full capacity, but as long as I don't try to go super high or super fast I should be alright." She says thoughtfully.
"It's not too far if we aren't walking," Ylrhea says.
"Do you think there'll be any opposition lingering around the caves?" She asks.
"Then it really shouldn't be a problem. I just didn't know how far away the caves were...if it's a short enough distance I'll be okay. Really...it's fine. We just need to get down to the beach so I have room to change and adequate room for take off. I'm gonna need a running start with so many this time."
"Not if the devils got what they were after," Ylrhea answers Fae.
She just shakes her head, afraid of the devastation they might actually find there. She just hoped that some were able to hide and survive.
"I meant Cyna," Sienna clarifies.
"Yes. I'm still not big on caves and I've got a history with devils you know." Cyna answers.
Sādhanā nods, understanding Cyna's reasoning. "Okay, I'll guide you." she says to Tesia.
She nods and goes with Rhy outside to wait for everyone, so that Cyna and Sienna can have a moment to themselves to say goodbye before they left on this next errand.
Sienna gives Cyna a peck on the cheek. "Alright, Cutie. We'll be back after a while."
Magestreia heads outside after Ylrhea, Celia and Sadhana.
"That'll be perfect my Sweet," Drago responded.
Putting an arm around and leaning his head against her"It's alright, you had a lot on your mind. Perhaps I should cook dinner tonight, or we could go to Hadrinn's."
Ammon kept his silence, while he wasn't entirely thrilled with the prospect of flying, he was just going to have to deal with it. Like so many other situations before. One in particular came to mind involving a drunk Cassym and some random barmaid he was trying to set Ammon up with. Intolerable.
She nods, "I got new winter wear and boots for all of us, so if we got ready and bundled up, I guess we could see if Hadrinn's is open. You have a blue and white jacket, gloves, and scarf in the closet as well as the boots. I can get Celine ready and then get on my own stuff and we can go." She says before giving him a kiss and pushing herself up off the couch.
Yulia smiles and sits down next to Drago. "We'll need to start thinking about fixing up the baby's room."
"Ready?" Sienna asks Tesia.
Once Elena feels ready, Kama helps her down stairs to sit with the family, lovingly rubbing her back as she does.
Putting an arm about her, "Did you have anything in particular in mind?"

She nods her head and heads to the beach with everyone. Once there, she gives herself room to change into her huge eagle form and then lies in the sand so that everyone can climb on.
She goes to Celine's room and helps her get her coat, scarf, gloces, and boots on. Once Celine is ready she takes her to the living room and sets her on the couch before going to their bedroom and putting on her red jacket, scarf, gloves, and winter boots. Once she's ready she goes to the living room, "Okay, are we all ready to go eat?"
Rajni looks at her mother as she sets the many places around the large table, "Where is Auntie Priya mama? You want me to try and find her?"
"Aside from furniture, I really don't know," Yulia answers. "I would like to paint the room, but I haven't settled on a color."
Elena smiles as she joins her family. "Sorry I've been upstairs all day. I just haven't been feeling well."
Asha nods. "You should be up and about a little more, though. It'll help you feel better."
Sienna climbs onto Tesia's back.
Magestreia looks apprehensive and turns to Sadhana. "Do I...just climb on her?"
Priya walks into the kitchen. "Hello, everyone."
Hearing Magestreia she turns her head to regard her with a huge golden eye and bobs her head up and down while giving her an encouraging chirp as she extends a wing to try and make it a little easier.
Magestreia sighs and climbs on the huge eagle with little difficulty.
"Don't worry it's safe. We've only ever fallen off once." Sādhanā says smiling at the irony. "But that was due to an ambush a few hundred feet up. The odds of that happening twice are pretty small."
"I hope so," Magestreia says.
"After you," Ylrhea says to Sādhanā.
"Where have you been, Priya? We were starting to get worried," Asha says.
"Negotiating our next shipment of fabric," Priya answers. "The captain hopes to be out to sea tomorrow, but it depends on the weather. I didn't want to be frivolous with our money, so I said we'd wait if need be."
Asha nods. "We had no idea the demand would be so high for our clothing."
"Being the first in town has its perks," Priya says. "But it's not without its risks."
Asha starts serving food. "Any word from the paladins about the extension, Toni?"
"They said they would start tomorrow," Toni says. "I sort of pressed the issue given our living situation. If I knew we'd have so many under one roof, I would have moved out and saved you some trouble."
"We're fine," Asha says. "We want you and Malyoxa to be comfortable."
"I thank you for that," Malyoxa says.
She sits quietly for a few moments as her mother and aunt discuss business. Looking up at Toni she says, "Don't worry...there will be plenty of room. A couple weeks into the new year and Dillon and I will be married and I'll be moving out to move in with him anyways." She looks at Dillon, "I talked it over with mama and decided to wait a couple of weeks into the new year to give her time for everything. You know....there's been a lot going on." She says as she gives his hand a light squeeze.
It suddenly donned on him, "I just remembered, we've had this discussion. Perhaps we can take a trip to Halfpocket's sometime soon and see if he has some paint?"
Ammon waited for everyone else to get on before he climbed up as well.
Getting up, Alethiro grabbed his cloak, "I'm ready."
Taking Celine's hand she gives him a smile and heads out the door, waiting for him as he locks it. With the door secured, she takes his hand with her other as the three if them head off to see if Hadrinn's was open.

"I have trouble remembering what with all the towers rising out of the water and krakens trying to ruin weddings," Yulia chuckles. "Yes, we should go tomorrow."
"I get that," Dillon says, unsure of how Asha felt about the situation.
She gives him a look as she tries to convey that everything will be alright.
