After a few moments of silent contemplation, Karasu stepped onto the wall of the crow's nest and glided down to the Wildcat's deck. She then casually waltzed over to the door that lead below deck and turned its knob to spread news of their arrival.
Yousei stood up as Witium repeated Camthalion's request to see her, and left through the doorway, turning back once to see Miles as he and Witium conversed. She felt awful for leaving Miles so abruptly, but she had to find out why Camthalion had summoned her all of a sudden.. 'Deep emotion'..? she thought to herself, as she pondered his words. She had to find out more.. She realized that the only subject that could relate to that one in any way was her relationship with Miles. But how could that cause any problems..? she wondered, as she hurried down the hall to Camthalion. Karasu had just entered through the door, as she turned to see the elf. "You.. wanted to see me..?" Yousei said.
Karasu noticed that very serious matters were currently being discussed and held her tongue until they were through. She, instead, sat down in a corner near Yousei, and, very inconspicuously, listened to the conversations on either side of her.

Camthalion looked up from the sheets and smiled. "I have, young one. Please take a seat." He offered her a seat closest to the bed. He took a few moments to recollect his thoughts before starting.
"Child, I am sure Witum has told you about what I am about to discuss, about you deep attachment with Miles. Speaking as a third party member, I will speak from the bottom of my corrupted heart, but heart nevertheless. Your...relationship with Miles could make things complicated when we arrive at the Arrid Wastes. There are things with you two have yet to figure out. Witum and I are worried that the relationship you share with the human will jeopardize our overall objective. I did not bring you here to say you may never see him again; I have no authority to say such a thing. However, in all retrospect, your attachment with him may cause him to do something out of character. The Wastes is a place where many have journeyed and died, and losing you would cause him to do something that will affect the rest of us.
"This may be hard to comprehend, young one, but I have had my fair share of relationship problems. This is the end result." He removed a bit of his bandage on his arm, showing not skin, but pure darkening muscle and dead tissue. "My attachment to you have cause the internal damages in me to corrode my body further. My first wife started this trend when she decided to leave me for someone else in our tribe. Don't follow the same fate as I have lead. Cease this romantic relationship with Miles for the time being. Both of your fates, as well as the rest of our company, will depend on the decisions you and Miles make for the rest of the journey." Camthalion wrapped his hand again with the bandages, waiting for her reply.

Luthien was trotting along the waterline, catching and releasing the crabs that got too near to her when she came upon a man apparently sleeping on the shore, wet and bedraggled. She sniffed him for a minute and after approving him she ran off to fetch Mirasande. She had just reached Mirasande, who was sleeping with her knees pulled to her chin, and began to scratch her side, meaowing " Mari!!! Mari!!! There's a meatbag on the shore not too far down from here. He looks dead, but I think he's not. Come see!" She ran a distance away and turned to Mirasande, who was staring at the cat. "Mari, come one!" she cried and pranced away to sit by the man. Mirasande groaned and laid down on the sand. "No!!!" She shouted. "I'm not saving anyone today, do it yourself!" she yelled, and commenced sleeping.

Yousei nodded respectfully, though her mind wandered. She was reluctant to take these orders into consideration. It would be impossible for her to douse her feelings for Miles, but he brought up a good point.. What if something were to happen to her, or Miles..? "You're right.." she said in a low, robotic voice, "...Please, excuse me.." She gave a slight bow out of respect, turned, and left through the door. Karasu immediately followed after her. Once on deck, Yousei walked to the bow of the ship and leaned on the railing. The sun shone brightly in her eyes, as it set. She looked down at the darkening waters and sighed deeply. Karasu walked up behind her and looked out at the land shadowed by the sun's bright rays.
~He speaks truths, you know...~ Karasu said, indignantly. Yousei was silent for a few moments, before finally replying, "I know." ~As long as you realize that, I will speak of it no longer...~
Yousei contemplated quietly to herself. Karasu turned to her and smirked, ~By the way, Yousei... We have arrived.~ It took a moment for Yousei to process her words. When she had, she turned to Karasu, "We have..??" Karasu nodded, smiling. Yousei's heart leapt and Karasu bowed, indicating for her to climb on. Yousei did so, and Karasu beat her wings, sending them upward and then, toward the setting sun before them.
After only a few minutes, they arrived on a sandy beach. Yousei dismounted, and noticed a girl and cat nearby. Orion was washed up nearby. Yousei ran over to him and knelt down, checking his pulse. She looked over at the mysterious girl lying on the beach, wondering how she could not have already noticed him. Yousei called out to her. "Do you think you could help me?? I don't think he's breathing!"

Luthien looked up as a large dragon soared over her head, and her heart skipped a beat "A dragon!" she gasped. and ran to get Mirasande. "Mari! Wake up! It's not an option!" She scratched Mirasande on the arm, and Mirasande yelped as she woke. "What do you . . . " She started irritably, but her words trailed off into silence as she noticed the large, opalescent shape obscuring her view. "Oh. . ." She noticed that there was a tall blonde girl standing next to the dragon, kneeling down next to a man lying on the beach. The girl was calling to her, apparently asking for her help. Mirasande growled inwardly and ran over. She knelt down next to the man and turned him over with difficulty and put her ear close to his mouth. "He's still breathing. He'll live." She said, and sat down. She looked at the girl, noticing how much like herself this young girl looked. "A dragon, eh?" she said, staring at the girl and observing her closely.
