OOC: This takes place at the time when both are searching for Saffra in the forest.
Silvine and Annete had been flying for a while now, searching for Saffra. Unforutnately Saffra did'nt exactly tell Annete which forest she was going to sleep. The sun was starting to shine brightly in the sky.....
Silvine could have guessed the time to be eight, but he was'nt sure. He was struggling for comfort as Annete kept holding on to him. Sigh, she was scared of heights, was'nt she?
Silvine thought of distracting her from her fear. In fact, now would be the appropriate time to question her about her motives. Where would she go to find a permanent cure?
"Excuse me, milady, but I need to talk to you about something important." Silvine's face took a serious expression now. This was important.
" Last night... Gabbiano left out of the window since he felt he was not welcome to stay. He trusted me with a potion, which would keep you alive....." he paused, " for a year. I felt it rather necessary to confront you on this matter. Where would we go? How can we find you a permanent cure? Have you read some books about it?"

Annete stared at his face, she wondered why he suddenly asked that question. "Uuum...I don't know. I am just thinking that I will have a better chance to find the cure by travelling with Saffra than just staying in a small village." She lowered her head, she was embarrassed. "You can laugh if you think I am stupid..." Her face turned red, she closed her eyes, waiting for Silvine to laugh.
Annete had stayed in the village for two months since she left Ilia. She never thought about finding the cure before she understood the sadness of leaving someone she love. That day gave her a motivation.

Silvine thought," So she's a shy one, huh? Kind of reminds me of myself when mother died....." He felt his heart heavy. He too, like the dancer, was an orphan.
Being an orphan... was not a nice feeling at all. Others still had their parents, they were lucky. But he... lost them at a young age as well, his father gone almost a year ago. But he wanted to find his father, and that's hat kept him going. Personally, that was one of his reasons why he wanted to go on a journey.
" Do not worry yourself, Annete. I'm not going to laugh at you. I too, am an ..." he felt his throat dry. He was not able to spill those words out. He hated the thought of being an orphan. After a few seconds, he finished" ...orphan. "
There was silence. The word 'orphan' brought pain to his heart. He pitied the poor girl behind him. He wondered what she must have suffered to come all the way to the orphanage.
" Would you care to tell me some of you hobbies? Or favourite food?" Silvine smiled. He needed to show a kind gesture to her in order to give her some confidence.

"I am not an orphan, Silvine. I came to the orphanage two months ago." Annete shook her head and smiled at him, but her smile was disappeared as soon as she heard the word "orphan" from his lips. "Oh, I-I am sorry to hear that." The dancer saw a glimmer of sadness in his eyes.
This conversation made her remember when she was still living in Ilia. Her relatives hated her and wanted to kill her for bringing shame to Skyrider family, only her parents and her older brother who still cared about her and protected her from everyone. But, she was still luckier than this guy, he was an orphan.
Annete hugged him from behind, she hoped it can ease his pain a little. "You can guess my hobbies. I love dancing, and I like cooking too."
She smiled. "How about you? Do you have any?"

Annete's hug comforted Silvine. He needed to brush off that sadness.
" Me? Well I do play the piano sometimes. I like to play a bit with my wyvern as well."
Silvine now payed attention to Aragog. The wyvern looked quite fine. But he couldnt fly for long. They'd have to find a nice place to rest soon.
" So... why did you come to the orphanage?" Silvine thought he might have asked a direct personal question. Oh well. He needed to distract her until they found Saffra or rested at the least.

"Well...I was..." Her mood suddenly changed. Could she tell him? It was complex and too personal to tell him the reason. Her reason left Ilia was because of her illness which might kill her soon, she just didn't want to see her parents's sad face when the death came to her. It was difficult for her to tell him.
"I-I am just a wandering dancer." She lied and turned her face.

"....... I see." Silvine could tell she was lying, but he didnt want to stress on it. Must be a little secret of hers. Oh well.
Silvine was worried about something. How would he inform his captain/seargant about his well-being? People might be thinking he was dead. He couldnt do anything about this,but it pained to know he'd be gone for a long, long time before returning.
Silvine decided to fly a little more wildly. Things were getting too silent and he needed some fun. "Aragog, let's have some fun buddy."
They started flying faster,in a twisted manner. Many flips, and he could hear Annete scream! Looks like that was a mistake.

Annete closed her eyes and hugged Silvine tightly as the wyvern increased his speed. She hoped she wouldn't fall. The wyvern was flying wildly and flipping countless times. Bur she couldn't protest, she was too scared even to open her eyes.

Silvine felt Annete hugging him tightly, that it started to pain. He probably should'nt have tried some tricks.
But just when he was about to slow down, Annete tugged harder on him, and the pain cuase him to lose his grip on his lance and the lance fell.
" Aragog! Hurry. Fly towards thar spear! We dont want a broken spear!"

"No! Don't do that." That words came out from Annete's lips when Aragog prepared to dive towards the falling spear. But the wyvern only heard Silvine's order, the dancer felt the air pressure as they flew down with amazing speed to get the spear back. She could only hugged Silvine tighter so she wouldn't fall from the wyvern's back.
"Sil-Silvine, you did it on purpose, didn't you?" Annete closed her eyes and yelled.

" Huh? Of course not! You hugged me too-"
He turned forward and saw that they were going to crahs against a tree. He couldnt doo anything, he was too late.
The wyvern crashed against the tree and Silvine fell off the wyvern. He hung on to a branch, but it snapped and he fell off the tree.
Luckily it wasnt that high, so he didnt get any real bruises or anything. It was a good thing he wore his armor.
He got up,dazed. "Ugh."

Annete landed perfectly on the ground. When she and Irivine fell off from the wyvern, she managed to keep her balance and landed with her feet. Since she often did acrobatic movement while dancing, it was easy for her.
But, she fell on her knee because of that was a scary experience. Soon, she heard the sound of someone falling which turned to be Silvine falling from the tree. Annete got up and ran towards him. "Are you hurt?" The dancer worried about the squire, she hoped he didn't get hurt.

" ..... Uh? Oh, thank for the compliment. Oh, look at those pretty stars! "
It took a while till Silvine was alright. " Hehe, sorry about that. Good thing I wear this armor."
At that moment, he saw is armor. A minor scratch, but it still looked like a recruit's armor. A knight's pride was the number of scratches on his armor.
He checked on Aragog. The wyvern was doing ok. nothing serious happened. " God, when are we going to find Saffra? I bet its been hours since we've been searching for her."

"Oh, you are right. Do you want to rest here for a moment?" She looked to her surrounding. It seemed they were in the edge of the forest, it was a good place to rest. The dancer saw a something near a tree and walked towards it. She found a spear on the ground, Silvine's spear. The spear was pretty heavy, but she tried to lift it to give it back to the owner.
"Is it yours, Silvine?" Annete called him while carrying the spear with two hands.

Silvine was right. The sun was right over their heads. It was extremely hot. It was probably 2 at noon? " Annete, if there is a town at the end of this forest, we can rest there... "
He observed the surroundings. It was not a very thick forest, they'd soon be out of here. But they were searching for Saffra, and unless she was found, they would be going no where. Sigh. Was that woman always the loner type? She'd be causing so much trouble.
He saw Annete coming back with his spear. "Why, thank you, milady. This may not be the best of our experiences, so stay behind me. We'll walk out of here. Aragog needs some rest. "
He heard a loud growl. " Who's there?" Silvine whispered.
A big, fat brown bear stood in front of them. It did'nt look too friendly.
" Annete, stay back. I'll need to take care of this thing."
