Time For the Real Adventure to Begin

Who: Jenn, Aria, Ria if she wants in?
What: Jenn finally gets picked up from Narnia! With, um, a few difficulties.
Where: Narnia
When: Midday?
Warnings: Tl;dr entry. >.>

It was time to go, and surprisingly, Jenn felt a little sad about the fact. As the girl looked around the forest clearing from the opening of the cave that had been her home this last month, she knew she would miss it. Had it really been four weeks since all of this craziness started? In that span of time, she'd gotten used to the sight of fauns, centaurs, dwarves, talking animals...dryads, nayads, and all sorts of other things, as well. It would be strange being back in the human world again, although she didn't deny that she would really appreciate having feet again.

Shouldering the small bag of supplies - food, medicinal herbs that Lily the dryad had shown her how to use, a few small presents from friends, and of course her laptop - and with her bow and staff in hand, Jenn walked up to where Glenstorm and her other friends were waiting for her.

"I'm ready to go," she said, not without a trace of sadness. "Someone is coming to get me and take me...wherever I'm supposed to go next."

Tamara, the lovely brown-and-black-flanked centauress who had been giving her archery lessons, smiled warmly. "We shall miss you, Jennifer. You were an wonderful student."

"Aye, ya were," her faun bo staff trainer said with a wink. "Try not to bop yourself on the head too often." Jenn laughed, slightly embarrassed at the reminder of one of her first training accidents.

"Are you sure you can't tell us where you're going?" one of the squirrels asked anxiously.

Jenn shook her head, smiling and looking at the ground between her hooves. "I wish, but I really can't. You guys have been great, though. I'll miss you." Stifling a small sigh, she walked up to Glenstorm and held out the bow, quiver, and staff she had been using during her stay.

To her surprise, the centaur held up his hands, refusing them. "Take them," he said; despite his reassuring smile, the girl thought she could sense a hint of concern in his expression. "A gift from all of us. You may very well need them."

The thought made her stomach turn. A reminder that she was heading out into something...unknown. Possibly dangerous. But she couldn't stay here forever, especially if she ever wanted to get home. Best to deal with problems as they came. Mustering up a smile, Jenn nodded. "Thank you."

Jenn said her goodbyes to everyone (including Zeti the cheetah, who tried to act aloof about the whole thing), then went to the entrance of the cave and waited. Aria would be here soon...as a fox, apparantly. Jenn had wanted to get all of the goodbyes out of the way first She was a little sad that she hadn't seen Silandro around; where had he gone off to? She would miss the noble mouse the most. He'd been determined to act as her 'gaurdian' ever since she had gotten here and had become her best Narnian friend.

Well, hopefully he would show up before she left. After all, no way to tell if she would be back this way again.

Aria was a good distance from her ship when she realized she didn't wait to see if Ria wanted to come along. Heck, she hadn't even seen what Ria turned into.

"Oh, well. She'll catch up if she wants to," she muttered quietly after only a short pause.

After being pointed in the right direction by a helpful dryad she trotted off hoping it wasn't too far. She didn't like the idea of being small and fuzzy when there were possibly monsters around.

She thought she heard the faint sound someone talking so she stopped for a moment to listen before changing course slightly. Maybe it was Jenn or at least someone who knew where she was.

Now Aria knew she heard someone talking. When she saw them she stopped and sat down.

"Uh, sorry. Uh," she paused and looked at Jenn. "You wouldn't happen to be Jenn, would you?" She rubbed the back of her head with one paw sheepishly. "I was told she'd be in this direction."

Aria was relieved that it hadn't taken long to find Jenn.

"Yeah, I'm Aria."

She then turned her attention to Silandro. "Um, nice to meet you," she said after a moment. It took a few seconds for what he said to sink in and she stared at him for a few seconds before she replied. "You want to come with us? That's, I, Uh..." Words kind of failed her after that.

Aria made some incomprehensible noises before stopping and taking a few deep breaths.

After a few seconds she replied "Well, it's not that I mind exactly... wait, you told him?"

She thought for a minute Cloud enjoys Earth's pop culture, Maleficent has a split personality, Sora had a job at Disneyland at some point and Roxas was his own person before continuing "It's not really that there are rules against it but, it's strongly advised that we don't take people from their worlds. And I'm not even entirely sure that there isn't a rule against it."

Aria was starting to get a headache. She knew how stubborn Narnian mice could be once they made up their minds about something. She really couldn't think of anything to say that would stop him and the alternative would involve either attacking him or getting a bunch of others involved.

"Of course," she muttered. "We're not supposed to tell anyone about it either." She looked between them and sighed. "You do realize that you wouldn't just be dealing with one human who you know but a bunch that you don't?" She really didn't have any other arguments. And really, she didn't see much of a point in stopping him if he already knew about it.

Aria was sure there was no way to convince him to stay behind willingly. She wouldn't feel right trying to use force to make him stay behind.

"If it's really that important to you, you can come," she paused briefly. "But, I just want to make sure you understand a couple of things. First, there is no telling how long this journey will last. Second, even if only a few months pass out there it's possible that when and if you return years or even centuries could have passed here."

She looked right at him as she asked, "Can you live with that possibility? That Narnia would be different or that something could happen to prevent you from returning?"

Aria was not the least bit surprised by his answer. "Well, I see you're ready to go. I see no reason to put if off any longer."

Feeling that there wasn't anything left to be said she started in the direction of her ship, pausing briefly to make sure they were following.

Ria, thankfully no longer a meerkat, but instead a large reddish-brown squirrel, peered out the window of the ship.

"I'll wait twenty more minutes, then I'm going exploring for them, Pancake." She told the dreamhare.

Aside from paying attention to where they were going, Aria had been spacing out a bit on the walk back to her ship.

They were almost within sight of it when she heard something rustling in the bushes to her left. She jumped back in surprise when something (http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Sahagin_(Final_Fantasy_IX)) tried to skewer her from the bushes.

She wasn't confident that she could fight in this form and she really didn't want to find out what the ugly thing tasted like.

That left magic. She cast the first spell that came to mind. The offensive form of Aero... and she missed.
