The water sprayed the side of her face. "Hey!" She smiled sending a spray of water back at him. "I know that was you!" She laughed as she did this and watched as he pulled his hair over his scar. "Ummmmmmm... how did that happen?" She motioned to the right side of his face. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." She waved her hands in front of her frantically. "Just forget I said anything." Lilly said awkwardly.

Aiden considered telling her. He'd obviously never spoken of it before and didn't really know where to start but he liked this lively older girl. He decided half truths would be best. "I was... Kidnapped i guess you could call it." She smiled sadly. "For three years. I... well they got me back when i was six." He pointed to his covered eye. "A parting gift you could say." He pulled a few breezes about as a distraction. "I'm used to it but it tends to make others uncomfortable."

Lilly could tell that this was a painful memory. "It doesn't make me uncomfortable." She smiled trying to lighten the mood. "In fact it looks like kinda cool. Ooooooh you could tell people you got into a fight while protecting a Mother and child from a raging maniac!" Her imagination began to run wild with new stories. "It would be funny to see peoples reaction." As she smiled her Father came out of the house. "Is Mama okay?" Lilly asked her Father.
The old man nodded. "Yes her breathing returned to normal, and her pulse stabilized." The man bowed to the stranger. "Thank you for all your kindness that you have done sir."

Peanie flew up and landed on Aiden'a head. She used her beak to pick at his hair and nuzzled his forehead. Aiden laughed and waved off the man's gratitude. "I'm glad your wife is fine. and you shouldn't call me 'sir' or be bowing." He told him. "Since I've thrown all titles I had away I'm just an average tiny thirteen year old kid." He smiled and reached up to rub peanie's head.

The old man nodded. "Nevertheless thank you for all your kindness." He walked back to the cabin. "If you'll excuse me I shall rest myself. These dusty old bones need time recuperate from all this stress."
Lilly smiled at her Papa and turned back to Aiden rubbing Peanie. "You, and your bird are really cute. Especially when he's on your head like that." She approached the two watching the small creature. "It's like you two were made for each other." Lilly smiled reaching out to pet it.

Aiden smiled at Lilly's observation. 'She's sharp, this one.' He thought as Peanie licked at her fingers. "She's as much a part of me as my own soul." He said honestly.

"That's going a little far don't you think." Lilly laughed as the small bird licked at her fingers. "Oooooh that tickles." She retracted her hand still laughing quietly. "So what brought you to the beautiful Zabuni prairie Aiden?" Lilly couldn't help but be a little curious, he had come out of no where. "I'm guessing it wasn't to harass a young girl was it." She joked smiling.

Aiden smiled. "It's not too far at all." He said under his breath. "Runaway, remember." He joked in answer to her question. "I'm just play'n the nomad and looking for a place to have some fun."

"Well you picked a perfect place to run off to." She turned and ran down the bank of the river. "My boat is docked not to far from here, I'll race you to it!" Lilly yelled behind her. "Loser gets a punishment from the winner!"

Aiden lughed like a child as he threw himself into the race. He gathered the wind around himself to help speed his way. It was rare for someone to best wind calgor in a race. Aiden soon gained the lead but tired quickly, not used to physical strein.

As Aiden passed Lilly she jumped and dove into the river. She swam down river rushing the current around her. Lilly sped through the river quickly catching up to Aiden. "You're in my element now Aiden!" She laughed while throwing a wave of water at him as she continued to swim down stream.

Aiden laughed as he gasped for breath and shook the water from his hair. He let out a Shrill whistle and jumped into the air. Inril gliding below him, cought aiden on her back and sped tward the rapidly aproaching boat.

Lilly dove under the water and shot herself through stream at a remarkable speed. She saw the beach where she had secured her boat. 'This is going to be close.' Lilly looked up through the crystal clear water seeing Aiden jump onto Inril's back. 'That's not fair!' She doubled her efforts and pushed herself faster. The waves shot her out of the water and flying towards the boat.

Inrill's noble pride flared as the beast raced the strange woman. Shepushed her powerful wings harder as she voiced her displeasure. Maiden laughed at inrill's frustration and squeezed himself down closer to her neck. Peonie, feeling left out, darted streigt to the boat, transforming herself into a swift falcon and beating the lot of them. She happily preaned her new silver-grey feathers with pride.

Lilly crashed into the boat nearly crushing Peonie as she did so. She stood up a little woozy from the crash but quickly regained her composure. "Woo-hoo I won!" She turned to Peonie making she didn't hurt the little bird. "I didn't hurt you did I?" She pet the feathers on the birds back.
