Tajier growled at the board. "Ach! This new-fangled technology will be th'death of us all!" he barked. Struggling with the board, he finally gave in and save on it, his tail wrapped around the floating plant and his claws gripping the sides like a child on a sled that was too small for him. "Now how d'I make et go fo'ard?" he asked.
Xaphy giggled. He had never seen someone have so much trouble with a device before. "I'll just give you a push, Mister Tajy," he offered. When the lizard agreed, the small dragon fluttered behind him, pushing him along.
"There we go!" he said, pleased.
"Jess don' push too hard now, laddieeeeEEEE!!" In an unexpected burst a strength, Xaphy had pushed too hard, sending the lizard flying down the slight slope to the dock.
"ACCCHH! HOW D'I STOP THIS THING?!" He yelled. "AYE! REN! ZHOU! HELP MEH!" he screamed, catching sight of the pair.

Ren was barely paying attention, she was mainly paying attention to the area around and her own thoughts. She hesitated trying to think of a recent time she'd been to the east banks.... "3..months I---"
She peered behind and saw Tajier racing at them on the board....not really boarding either...airsledding..? Staring at the sight then finally moving to the side and waited until Tajier got close enough. Getting into a relatively low stance on her board.
As the lizard began to pass, she grabbed the tail and and jumped onto that board. Little space there was, but she was able to weigh down the board enough in the back for it to stop. Once the board was slow she moved away and hiked back to get her own board.

"You should get out more! Its nice out he- oh?" Zhou witnessed the scene from the corner of his eye- if he turned oaournd to look, he would have ran into something... When he was slowed enough to turn, he could see Raien in the far distance trying to catch up.
"YOU GUYYYZH~ WAAAAIET" He screamed, almost loosing his ballence.
Zhou couldnt help but giggle... Raien was too adorable. As he looked to east, the river was in view... "Only another mile or so... You think you can handle it taj?"

Tajier stood up, very digruntled. He growled, resisting the urge to break the board.
"Farkin' thing," he grumbled.
Looking up, he blinked at Zhou. "Eh? On the boards, eh?" he asked.
Xaphy darted through the air, catching up to the lizard and nearly smacking into his back. "Tajy! I thought you were gonna die!"
"Ach, laddie, I'm fine," Tajier replied, ruffling the little creature hair. "Eh, there's Raien. Everyone here, now?"

Ren looked upon the wolf-folk as he practically stumbled along, only shrugging and floating back to where Tajier, Xaphy and Zhou stood. Ren silently hovered saying nothing at all, only the simple expression almost always worn by the Knight. Tugging at her gloves to be sure they were on snug then glanced off to the direction of water.
'Only a mile, good....'

Tajier stood up slowly, dusting himself off. Suddenly, he felt an odd pressure on his head. It was light, but there, none-the-less.
Reaching a hand up, he felt scales. A giggle.
"Mister Tajy! Don't tickle me!"
"Xaphy! What are yeh doin' up there, laddie?"
"Sitting," he said simply.
"Ach...em...ok then..."
Xaphy giggled. He prefered sitting on peoples' heads. He was glad he was so small.
"Renny," Xaphy said. "Where do you work? I haven't met you before."

The dusty terra was fairly familiar but gradually it got mossier and more "alive" as they neared the water. Interesting it was. Listening to the exchange of words between the dragon and hybrid and any other wordings that came along into her hearing.
'...Renny...?' She turned back into the directon of Tajier and Xaphy.
"Er..I'm a Knight, I work in and out of the Crescent..." seeing that as the best way to put it in short.

Xaphy frowned, still perched on Tajier's head. "I worked the gate onces before, but they made fun of me a lot so I didn't go back." He poked at the spikes along Tajier's head.
The lizard glanced up at the dragon. He knew the feeling. All they wanted to do was help people and they get kicked in the gut for being what they are.
"Ach, whar's Zhou an' Raien? Have they left us here?" he asked.

Raien poked his head out from behind a tree. The faint sound of many (unnecessary) zippers skipped through the forest, as he prepared himself to walk back "Sorry... Bathroom break."
Zhou had been standing behind the two scalefolk, and cleared his throat for attention. "I'm right here..."
And he marched valiantly to the head of the group, he readied his board for the res tof the journey and spoke the words they were waiting for; "Lets go, shall we?" An uncommon smile cracked his stern face.

Tajier was glad to see Zhou had calmed down. Maybe he was wrong about him. He seemed to get along with Xaphy pretty well.
"Eh, et's no' far. I'll walk if'n yeh don' mind," he said, picking up the board. "Eh, Ren, how d'I shrink his thing?"
Xaphy flew on ahead doing little flips in the air. "Come on, slowpokes! I wanna ride the boat!"

Just waiting for the group to get moving, still amazed at the sudden changes of environment in such a short distance. She glanced back past the reptiles and back to the beaten terra, she never did notice the quick change before. Then again normally she would travel by a large group and commanding it. Which made sights harder to see.
Half-Smiling she floated back over and took the board. Flipping a switcher in a compartment the large board turned back into the small cube. She replaced it into her bag and began her waiting again.

Raien rode closer to Zhou, and whispered. "Is this going to be weird? I mean... Theres all these people...I know ren know's what she's doing, but I dont trust xaph and that big lizard... Arethey going to be in YOUR way?"
"No, no... Atleast I hope not... REally, I dont forsee it being an issue. As long as they don't actively cause trouble they'll be okay..." Zhou, as strange as it may have seemed, was the positive one... Quite contrary to his usual behaivior. could it be the idea of a sucessful prospect? Was it the notion of a fun weekend out with friends? Or was he just trying to redeem himself from his normal malcontent?
Raien let his pace slow to Ren's. With his confused gaze glued to Zhou, he said to her, " I think He's gone absolutely crazy...."

Humming while riding along a casual pace, Ren just observed the would about them and heard murmurs of activity as they neared the lusher areas.
Looking to the large wolf-folk "Hm? Define crazy for me." possibilities crossed her mind as either lunatic or being relatively positive. Either or would be something in contrast for the Zhou she knew.

Tajier paced alongside the dragon as he fluttered. Neither if them were very aware of the conversations going on between the humanoids.
"Hey, Tajy, why did you come to Crescent?"
The lizard blinked and looked up at Xaphy.
"Well, laddie, I think I came to help out, like you, eh?"
Xaphy shook his head. "I was born in Crescent. I didn't have a choice. The Hatchery program was supposed to bring beasts and humans together, but that part failed."
Tajier nodded. "Ah, laddie, seems yeh have the saeme problems I do, even that yeh born there. I went to Crescent 'cause what the beasts did wos totally unpr'voked. Doesn't get yeh on me good side."

Suddenly, and out of nowhere, a large bear came charging out of the woods. It roared in anger at the two dark skinned creatures that stood next to each other beside Ren as if they had commited it a horrible wrong in some other life. It stood watching them for a good minute, then forared again and charged.
Before the pair had time to react, it was on them. The didn't have room to fight back! Within seconds, Zhou and Raien were devoured, their limbs ripped from their bodies.
Tajier's eye widened in shock and he could do nothing but stand there. Xaphy gasped and cried out, but the lizardman held him back.
"N'use tryin' tae fight a bear, laddie. They'll rip yar 'ead off...like poor Joey there..." He winced and closed his eyes. It was as if the bear hadn't even noticed them. Xaphy clung to his check, shivvering in fear.
Satisfied, it trundled back into the woods and continued on its merry way.
