Once upon a time, Caspian stayed with a very nice fellow in Aldrect. The man lived on a lake, and often waxed nostalgic about his beloved lovingly buried by the shore. The widow would often sit on the lakeshore in the evening hours, and being a kindly gent, would invite his guest to sit beside him. Of all the things the man had told him - because he talked a lot; seemingly happy merely for someone to listen - Cas remembered him saying that when he met his late wife, the merest thought of her was enough to lift him sky-high. Even in his old age, the memory of her kept him going. He had sworn up and down that when he met The One, Cas too would feel like he walked on air.

So the Aqua knew he was in trouble when the silken touch of Kida's flames all but lifted him out of the stream.

"Yeah, alright," he joked, hiding the sudden blush that darkened his fur with a ducked head and a few furious, but polite, shakes. "Being in a clan means responsibilities, eh?" For the most part, he was joking: adventuring meant doing what needed to be done sometimes, too. Surely there was some extra necessity when you had so many more depending on you, though. Apparently, he was going to see firsthand just what that was like.

He planned to hold her to that promise, however. After all, he wasn't a clan kuhna at heart, and a couple romps in the stream were necessary for growth. And joy. And future happiness.

Kida

Her pace was quick and sure as she made her way through the well-trodden path made by her clanmates. She felt full of life again--something she hadn't felt since her last adventure outside of this forest. It was almost like she could smell the sea again when he drew near her, his voice rising and falling like softly crashing waves. His presence was thrilling in a way that she couldn't explain, and yet a pang in her heart ached to know she'd soon have to tell him of his fate. Perhaps he wouldn't mind too much, at first, if he felt the same as she did? She could only hope as much.

"Yeah, some work. But the leader is fair...even if she acts a bit grumpy. You get used to her. She has a whole clan to look after, after all. She has a right to be a little grumpy," Kida agreed. She wasn't sure what the other Ancient would end up being asked to do in the clan really--most flame-tailed kuhna were some kind of shaman or healer, would Asia really see fit to add another? Or perhaps his fresh eyes from the outside world would make her appoint him an adviser alongside Mohana...

The very thought made her shudder and she did her best to play it off as simply shaking off more water. "We're almost there, not far now!"

Above the line of brush and just below the lowest branches, the kuhna would be able to see a small hilly area squirming with life and activity. The forms wouldn't be clear for another several hundred feet, but they were other kuhna bustling about a den-site to be sure. Kida gulped down her nerves and flashed a smile at Caspian. Ready or not, she was about to introduce him to a whole new world.
"I have been hidden, scorned, adored, worshiped, forsaken, coveted and banished more times than I care to count. But the one thing all those experiences cannot steal from me is the gentle soul I was born with, the kind heart I have molded, and the bright ideals for the future that have lit my way through the darkness of the past."
