He smiled, but it was a bit forced. "I'm alright, it's in the past you know? Though talking about it certainly ruins my mood, so it probably is best I stop talking about it."
He scratched the back of his head sheepishly before looking out the window. Just outside Kyoto was sitting on the dock, throwing food into the water. Though Rio couldn't be seen due to the dock being in the way. It was good to know that he was alright though, and hadn't been bothered by the storm. He watched as suddenly the girl bent over the edge of the dock. When she lifted back up there was what looked like paper in her hand. She messed with the paper for a moment before standing up suddenly and rushing back towards the house.
"Uncle Vapor, I got a letter from mama..."
"Isn't that a good thing?" Vapor asked, not quite understanding why she looked so downtrodden.
"Hm? Oh, of course! But I just got a really weird feeling..."

"What are you feeling Kyoto?" Eve questioned the girl. Normally one would be ecstatic that they would get a letter from their mother. And while she sounded happy enough, she certainly didn't look like it. "A weird feeling about what? Does the letter say something weird?" She asked.

"No, or at least not outright. But I know it's mama, because this is her handwriting." The girl said, holding out the letter for Vapor to confirm. He looked it over and nodded agreeing with what Kyoto had said.
"It is Mist's handwriting, but I'm not entirely sure where the weird part comes in," Vapor said, the girl headed towards the stairs and up to her room. There were scuffling noises as she moved things around. After a few minutes the blond descended the staircase with a box in her hands. Sitting it on the table she opened the lid and revealed dozens of letters. Removing one she held it out.
"Mother's seal," she said, pointing out the very faint marking on the letter. "It goes unnoticed by most, but mama never forgets it."
She gave the old one to Vapor to show him as she took the new one. She looked at both Eve and Vapor before holding up the letter.
"This one doesn't have a seal of any kind on it. It may be nothing, but like I said...it's not like her to forget."

"I think your just being a little paranoid Kyoto." Eve didn't want to doubt the young girl but people just sometimes forgot things. "What would someone stand to gain from forging your mothers handwriting just to send a note to you?" She shrugged looking at two standing in front of her when something came to mind. "Well I guess theres a possibility it could be a way for your mother asking for help, but like I said its just a possibility."

"That's what I think, she might be sending an SOS...but I might be jumping the gun as they say," the girl said, frowning softly before looking through several more letters. Carefully she put the old ones back in the box and closed the lid. Keeping the new one out she continued to study it for anymore abnormalities.
Vapor rested his hand on Kyoto's small shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze.
"I wish the human territories weren't so far away," the little girl said softly.

"We could go." Eve suggested leaning on the counter. "Or I guess I could go, I'm not so sure how you guys would be treated in Human territory." She went to go rest her hand on her hilt until she realized it wasn't there. "It might take awhile but I'm willing to help you two." She offered giving the two family members a smile. "Besides I have to pay you two back for being such lovely hosts."

"We shouldn't burden you," Kyoto said softly a frown on her face. "I really want to go too, but the mountains are dangerous and humans would have ill feelings."
The girl suddenly stood up onto a chair energetically and raised her fist skyward. Her mood suddenly changing, "But that's not the important thing! The humans we can run away from and if any monsters come our way I'll totally kick their butts with my magic!"
"Kyoto you've just barely mastered healing," Vapor pointed out and the girl about fell off the chair. Steadying herself the girl deadpanned and sighed in relief. If she'd face planted that would've been really embarrassing.

OOC: Kyoto reminds me of Anise from Tales
IC: Eve tear dropped when Kyoto got on the chair. "You sure are an energetic one aren't you?" She walked out of the room and went upstairs to retrieve her wet clothes. "Well I'm going to hang my clothes out to dry." Eve disappeared behind a wall to get her clothes. "Where's their sense of adventure." She mumbled under her breath smiling faintly. "Oh well might as well rest up while I can."

OOC: Keke, I love Anise she's just too funny. Though Jade is probably my favorite especially when he's dealing with Dist.
After Eve had gone upstairs to retrieve her things Vapor looked towards his niece. "Well, we better go find your mom before bears get her or something."
"Eh, bears?" the little girl asked eyes widening like saucers. "Why would bears be after mama?"
"They have something against her for some reason," he said with all the seriousness in the world as he regarded his niece. She blinked at him from her perch as she looked at him with owlish eyes.
"No waaaay!"
"Yes way," he said in a matter-of-fact tone. "So we're going on a bear hunt!"
"Is the word 'bear' a metaphor for something Uncle Vapor?"
"I wish."
OOC: My brain decided it wanted to roll out the door and stop making sense. I apologize.

OOC: Why bears? And Guy is my favorite character I like his quirk with girls.
IC: Eve grabbed her clothes and made her way outside. "I'll be right back you two." She stabbed her sword into the soft sand and tied a string onto the hilt. She tied the other end to the side of the house and pinned her clothes to the rigged clothes line. "Alright I'm back." Eve said making her way back into the kitchen. "And whats this about bears?"

OOC: I like bears :> Yeah, he's pretty cool to. They're all rather enjoyable really.
"Calgors with bear spirit beasts that are probably trying to hunt down Mist," Vapor said still quite serious over the matter though there was the very slight underline of humor shining in his eyes. Kyoto was baffled but went with it. Though she really wanted to know why these calgors were after her mom and voiced this a few moments later. Vapor glanced at her and shrugged. "I'm not sure why they don't like her but they don't and these guys live up in the mountains that divide the humans from the calgors. Don't worry about your mom though Kyoto."
He ruffled her hair affectionately. "You should know better than anyone that no one should tick off your mama. Anyway, that's probably where we should check first and then we can head back to your old house if nothing comes up and check there for clues."

Eve held a smirk from escaping onto her lips. "So we're heading out on another adventure?" She crossed her arms and leaned her back against the nearest wall. "Fine by me, I'm always happy on the move." She gave the two a smirk that showed her strong sense of adventure.

Vapor nodded at Eve's question before being practically tackled by his niece. "Yay! We're going to go and rescue mama!"
"Hopefully it won't be a rescue mission," Vapor said with a sheepish grin."But regardless bad guys beware!"
"Yep!" with that the little girl ran up stairs to pack things.

"She seems excited." Eve smiled at the man before him. "So you think sister might be in danger?" She sighed and walked up to him. "Well hopefully she's alright and this is all just a big misunderstanding. And hopefully she's alright with me snatching her brother." Eve leaned up and pecked him on the cheek. "See you outside handsome." She gave him a wink and walked outside into the sunny sky.

"Not sure whether to be happy she's taking this so well, or worried," he admitted honestly. At her inquiry he shrugs. "Not sure, but it's better to be safe than sorry. I don't think Kyoto is willing to lose another family member and neither am I."
The contact was brief, but almost immediately after a blush rushed to his face as he watched her walk outside. Kyoto came rushing downstairs a few moments later, tripping over her own feet and pivoting forward with a startled 'eep'. In a fluid movement the water calgor snapped out of his musing, caught a hold of her and sat her safely on her feet. The girl sighed before shooting her uncle a grateful look.
Her pack was light and she walked over, putting on her sandals before turning to her uncle with a worried look. Walking over he scooped her up much to her surprise. Startled the girl quickly wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Don't you need to pack?"
"I'm always packed," he said, motioning towards a pack at the door. She blinked in shock, because she was sure that hadn't been there before.
