Jaradka followed her direction, and then spotted the red warrior down on the ground... She didn't swoop down as far away as the other had, and at first seemed like she was planning on landing ontop of the warrior, but flared her wings up at the last moment to land just beside him... Managing to only knock afew branches around in the process.
"Jaradka was missing the Casimir prey." She said with a large smile appearing on her face, resisting the urge to nuzzle him at this moment anyways.

Despite his worry, his features softened slightly. "I'm sorry for disappearing, Jaradka." It was odd for them to be apart now, wasn't it? They seemed to spend a great deal of time together, which was fine. Jaradka's strange mentality just connected well with his own stoicism. "I've been hunting."
Mahu looked from one to the other, still trying to decide if this was sweet or just plain creepy. She was leaning towards creepy right now. "I'm going to keep looking for the cave," she announced, and leapt up and away from the two. She really didn't want to see where this greeting might go.

It pleased her to see him again, safe and unhurt as she had expected, and he even apologized to her, she wasn't sure why... If he was hunting, it must have been elusive prey and that was understandable... The trail would get cold if he left to tell her where or what he was doing. "Jaradka forgives Casimir prey." She said with her voice softening alittle bit before she nuzzled him.
"What prey does Casimir seek?" She asked as she looked over... That cave, she had been invited in there before. It was strange, and decorated like when she would go into that guest house in her home realm. Geil had said stuff to her in there, but she didn't understand what he was talking about... He was an amusing tsume, but not a hunter, so she got bored after awhile and left.

"A Sin tsume," and his voice went low with a growl when he said it; for once the large gryvern was losing his stoicism in lieu of actual anger. 4 days. 4 days and still he could find no clue as to where he should search for Mozer. It was scrabbling at his self-control.
It didn't occur to him to ask Jaradka if she knew the other tsume.

Jaradka looked over at him when he said a sin tsume in such an angry tone, what had it done? Had it injured Casimir? He didn't seem injured but something was bothering him, possibly it was not him that was injured... Or it was not physical? She couldn't decide what the problem was but thought maybe she could help. After all, if they found Geil he'd probably know about any other sin tsumes around here.
So she strode over to the entrance of the cave, and opened it rather... Easily, she didn't even have to look for it, then she glanced inside, sniffing at the air. "Unfortunate, Geil prey would have known about the sins." She said with a slight amount of dissappointment before looking back at Casimir... It didn't even cross her mind that it could infact be geil, since he always acted so harmless. Like an oversized rabbit... An oversized talking rabbit. It was nice that time he got her candy though, it was the first time she really had any... And subsequently the last time thus far, since she had no idea how to get it since it didn't involve hunting.

Casimir felt as though he was doing a slow-motioned turn as he regarded his mate with dark eyes. His ears flattened slightly without him realizing it, as a brief wave of something near rage flowed through him. It took a moment before he could get himself together. "You know Geil?" His voice, to anyone else, would probably have been dangerous. Perhaps he didn't have his voice fully under control yet.

Jaradka watched Casimirs rather sudden change in demeanor, He was hunting Geil? That was strange, Geil wasn't the sort of creature to do something bad as far as she knew... And definitely would not last long in a hunt if you ever actually got near him.
Casimirs voice however, was evident in showing that geil was his target, and not in a friendly way. Very strange. "Geil, prey lives in Jaradka's home realm. He says things that do not make sense, but amuses jaradka." she said with an even more curious tone to her voice, what was going on?

Casimir actually closed his eyes and counted to twenty. Maybe he was just still riled or perhaps he needed more sleep and less stress, but the idea of that. . . that thing coming near Jaradka and. . . . ugh. His eyes opened intot narrowed slits. Geil would have quite a bit to pay for when he reappeared.
In their own strange way, he had come to love Jaradka, but he would admit that she wasn't all up there. It was simply part of her charm. And that Geil would take advantage of that, or even try to. . . the tsume had to be stopped.
"Geil took Mozer," Casimir informed the larger tsume quietly, but, again, his tone said wot his words did not; severe disapprovement and a raging concern for his friend.

Jaradka moved back to Casimirs side and nuzzled him gently, making sure to avoid scratching with him with any of her spikes in the process. It was upsetting to see Casimir in such a state, and it was especially bad to hear that Geil had taken Mozer... Since, while she was insane she knew what that entailed, it was odd that he never did that to her... Although he did always seem rather scared of her for some reason, maybe that was a good thing.
"Casimir, prey... We shouldn't wait here, Geil prey won't come back... We should look elsewhere." she said quietly before she began playing with his ear alittle bit... This place didn't seem like where Geil would be, he liked warmer climates, not that that narrowed it down that much.

Casimir tilted his head carefully so he could look up at the larger creature without pulling his ear from her. Or, at least, not get his ear ripped in the process of looking at her. "They were in that cave and then they were gone," he replied, not so much arguing as to let her know wot had occurred, in hopes that it might give her a clue. "I think we must have missed them just by moments."

Jaradka let the tip of his ear slip from her teeth when he tilted his head to look up at her, smiling back down at him when he explained what had happened, it was not surprising... Even Jaradka could open portals in certain pre-determined spots. Geil most likely had one such spot in each of his caves. "Geil, prey is tricky... Smart, not strong." She sighed, this was going to be a long and most likely fruitless hunt, unless she went to his main home and waited till he came back... Which would be after he was done with whoever he was with right now.
But maybe there would be some clue in the cave, if he left from in there... A scent of where the portal went? or something? It was possible because casimir was more of a warrior than hunter he missed it. She turned her attention back to the cave, and then began to go into it... She had to crouch sort of because the cave was meant for somewhat smaller creatures than herself though.

Casimir watched the larger creature go through with a rather bemused expression, even as he felt some relief that Jaradka was willing to help him hunt one of her realmmates. He waited for her to get through the cave entrance before following himself.
The gryvern kept himself at the cave entrance to not distract her, watching her movements with a distant curiousity, his thoughts echoing hers. He wasn't a hunter though he would hunt on occasion. He was a Warriour, so watching her was very interesting.

Jaradka of course, liked hunting and pretty much any excuse she could get to go hunting was good enough for her... Even if she was hunting someone she knew, maybe she would be able to keep casimir from killing him too, or find out if this was what was really going on.
But for now, searching the cave. There were funny scents in here, perfume had been used to cover them up and someone had... Destroyed the primary location that she would have looked for hints. The bed. The portal had opened right behind it after all... Sigh, she thought she could guess who too.
But after a little while of sniffing around and moving things she found a leaf. It was just a single leaf that looked like it had gotten blown in here, although that wouldn't make sense since no wind blew in a cave... "Mmm... Our prey has gone far to the northeast." She said as she examined the leaf... It didn't come from the trees around here, and considering it's relative freshness assumed it came in through the portal.

Casimir flicked his ears forward at her words. "How do we find them?" His pacing of the cave had done little but work him up before, and he simply waited for her suggestion, because he had nothing at this point.

Jaradka looked at Casimir, she didn't say anything but instead just turned away and walked outside of the cave. stopping and waiting for him to come out beside the entrance. "We hunt. Geil, prey is smart... If prey knows we are looking Geil prey will not be found." She didn't want to tell Casimir that but it had already been days and if they had any chance of finding Mozer and Geil it would have to be purely luck now. Unless... Well, she could keep that as a last resort couldn't she? It was hard to ask for help while hunting but if they ended up in dire straights then there would be no choice but to ask... Her, The black one. She shuddered at the thought though, The black one was scary it didn't need strength or anything to do what was impossible for others.
