With Screaming Pinwheel in affect, Mel's Guardian quickly took care of the incapacitated gophers. They captured Defenders cheered. Snare snarled. {{OOC//: xDD}} "We'll meet again." And he was gone.

{{xD We're so brilliant. ^^ LOL "Incapacitated gophers"}}
Seth's natural, reflexive response was to immediately as the gang the inevitable, "Is everyone okay?" He didn't seem to want to focus on May's eyes particularly, but he kept his gaze hooked mainly in her direction.

"Hang on a sec." May wiggled around a bit and drew a small dagger, which she sliced her bindings with. Standing, she gave a sigh of relief and rubbed her shoulder. "I'm good." "Same here!" Erik and Mel chorused, released from their bondage. Kara leaped up giggling. "I'm good!" Adam did not immediately register who was good. His attention was focused on Xadria, and he leaned over to help her remove the remains of the net. May smiled, but instantly raised a hand in the pretense of removing hair from her face to cover the smile, hoping to avoid a further outburt from Mel.

Xadria felt an instant blush blooming to her cheeks, but she ignored that and just smiled at Adam. An almost competitive, challenging glance was spared to Melosa, but that was dismissed effortlessly.
Seth made his way to Mayriah without much difficulty, "What would we do without you, May?" He asked, half-teasingly, and the other half a very serious gratitude.

{{OOC//: *blushes furiously*}}
May's pale face turned crimson and she started to stammer. "I didn't...you and Adam...really well..." I MUST get a hold of myself. she scolded herself silently and quickly resumed an almost imperious air. "Really, it was nothing. You we're brilliant. Both of you."
Meanwhile, Mel was glaring nastily at Xadria. "So what's the story behind you and Adam Nadria?" "Its Xadria." May added quickly. Mel brushed her off.

"Only because we had something worth saving." Seth said, putting an off-character sort of gentleness to his words. It seemed to be a bit of color that rose to his cheeks, but was pushed away with impressive self-control as he focused on his shoes.
Xadria beamed a beautiful shade of red, brilliantly colorful and bearing a slight resemblance to the sigels on Seth's outfit in hue, "Story behind us? Melosa - it's Melosa, right? - I'm sure I don't know what you mean; certainly not why it matters." She said innocently.

May flushed red again. This was getting ridiculous. Mind scrambling, she was desprete for something- ANYTHING- to say that didn't make her sound like an insane stalker. "And what would that be?"
Mel's face was pretty much just a grimance. Adam shrugged nonchalently. "Nothing Mel. Just staying with you guys for a bit. Ran into childhood pals May and Xadria and all."

If Seth were in the mood to be a jerk or tease her a little, he would've said something like 'Mel' or 'Xadria', but he wasn't really, "It's your best guess. If you can't figure it out, maybe you should just follow my eyes and figure out where I'm looking." And, of course, he was looking right at her.
Seth suddenly felt like he was entering 'ohmyGodgetmeoutofhere' mode in abrupt embarrassment with his forward words.
Childhood pals? That was going to blow over really well when Xadria couldn't recall a single detail from any of their youth, and it was no excuse for utter cluelessness. She nodded numbly.

May was prepared for this long rant on the Nova Stone, the Key or even their Stones-powerful Di-Gata Defender stones. So at first Seth's comment sort of flew over her head. Then, suddenly, it slammed her full in the face. She turned about as red as human bodies could go and only barely just managed to giggle. He's joking, right? Right? RIGHT?!
Mel looked on hard at the two. "Dosen't look that way to me." She said rudely, before flouncing off. Adam exchanged a panicked look with May and Xadria before running off to talk to her.
May snatched Xadria's arm. "Xadria, what we he looking at?" She demanded urgently, forgetting to be elusive.
"So, we got the Key...now what?" Erik was saying out loud, totally oblivious to the hormones around him.

Xadria was scowling fiercely was Adam bounded off after Melosa. What right did he have? She was just a friend, right? Guility, she pushed the selfish thoughts away before they completely intoxicated her emotions.
"What was who looking at?" She asked bluntly, having been oblivious to her and Seth's conversation and-or flirtations.
Seth was a beet red now, redder than Mayriah had turned. He seemed rather fixed on the ground, now that May had moved towards someone else. It was just so strange of him to say things like that, it was almost like a weakness, something no one needed to see in him.
"Key?" He muttered, "Hmmph." He mumbled, "Um. Uhm."

May sighed in frustration. "Okay, never mind. Moving on. Xadria...much as you and Mel likes Adam's company, he can't stay here. Right?" It was obvious from Seth's attitude that Adam wouldn't be a permanent fixture, but May had known Adam for years. He was incapable of an attention span of more then 5 MINUTES, let alone a team that would routinely depend on him.
"...I mean, we could head into Dakorian country and pass through there, see if there's anything..." Erik was saying aloud, still and idiot in the science of crushes.

{ROFL I love Erik!! <33 Completely oblivious, poor guy.}
Frowning suddenly, not quite sure she understood what Mayriah was getting at, Xadria opened her mouth to protest, voice her inability to quite process what her new friend was getting at.
Seth interrupted all conversation completely, "Yeah, Erik; sure, whatever." He snapped abruptly, recovering from his momentary lapse of leadership. His heart wasn't into his sudden, frankly, awful, attempt to take control again - he was concentrating to hard on how to get Mayriah's attention, "Uhm, we could, uh, travel towards the... Dakorian country, like Erik said." He sighed, giving in to his attempt of control.

{{OOC//: I KNOW! LOL}}
"Xadria." May said this bit very quietly. "You and I both know that Adam is incapable of staying. He's a thief, he's someone who handles alone better then almost anyone."
May turned, her red hair sort of flipping back down her back in loose curls. If there was anything she was proud of, it was her beautiful red hair. "Dakorian country? Sounds fine." She smiled. "But your the leader, you go ahead."
She turned back to Xadria. "Listen...Adam has been my brother since forever. He won't just leave."
It was at this point Adam returned, gesturing for Xadria to follow him. When they had moved away a considerable distance, he turned. "I'm going to be going soon." He said quietly. "And I just want you to know that...well...okay, I'm not really good at goodbyes. Especially to people I care about. And well..." At a loss for words, Adam simply leaned forwards and engaged her in a thourougly nonverbal goodbye.
May smiled, before turning around, blocking the little picture.

Xadria nodded bitterly, hearing Mayriah's words, but wishing them gone desparately. She was glad to be taken away from the rest of the Defenders before she did something stupid, something embarrassing... something like - Heaven forbid - cry.
Seth shoved his hands in his pockets awkwardly, stepping in beside Mayriah sort of uncomfortably, "May." He started innocently, "You know, if there's ever something that bothers you... or, uhm, that you need to do... you know you can ask me for help."
He sighed audibly; that totally wasn't what he was trying to say. The words died on his tongue as he opened his mouth.

May glanced at Seth. He looked so sweet and innocent, the consummate good guy. She smiled brightly. "Thanks Seth...I appreciate it. And...ditto." Of course, his words meant that he only wanted to be friends. But that was better then nothing, right? RIGHT? Oh, my Di-Gata, I'm hopeless...
Another few minutes passed before Adam finally 'shut up'-ed, and he smiled roughishly. "You can't get rid of me Xad, don't worry!" He promised, before heading out, waving goodbye. He stopped to quickly hug May. "Take care of yourself." "And you." May hugged back. "No more stealing anything bigger then your head." "I was 6! I had never seen a cow before!" May laughed. "Come back soon!" Her eyes seemed to be in the direction of Xadria. "You know it!"

{No, no! It's good! =DD}
Xadria's cheek flushed a bright scarlet and she smiled as Adam disappeared from vision. She wasn't really huge on the fact that she was now emotionally attached to someone; now she was obliged to the customary worrying and panic-attacks. Fabulous.
Quietly sliding in next to Mayriah, Xadira spoke in her ear in low tones, so they were inaudible to the others, "Why does he keep coming over and talking to you?" She said, nodding slightly towards Seth, as if trying to get May's opinion on him out of her.

May intended to shrug. To make a little nod, as if unconcerned. Something. ANYTHING. She almost giggled. ALMOST. Tinging pink, May said casually, her voice just a tad higher then normal, "I guess just ensuring that we're settled in." Well, it was true, right? RIGHT?
Shaking her head slightly, she focused on Xadria, who looked pretty upset. "Don't worry about it. Adam can't stay away forever." She said sympatheticlly, patting Xadria gently on the back. May knew pretty well the feeling of losing your only companion and not knowing when they would be back. But Adam ALWAYS came back.

She nodded; xadria understood that they had to let him go - well, to an extent - but she still didn't have to like it. That was just unfair.
Xadria arched her brow neatly, "You're enjoying that, I'm sure." She said bluntly, making a point to butt into this quite blatantly. She was aware, from their earliest conversation, that Mayriah might not always like her being so forward, but, hey? That was just the way she was, and the way she planned to stay.

{{OOC//: I feel so bad that Adam leaves and now its all May/Seth...*plots evilly*}}
May nodded again. She couldn't exactly pinpoint what to say. Mel looked a little down herself. And invariably it always ended with May comforting the wounded party. She had no idea what people found so attracting about her that they were complelled to spill their souls, but who was she to mess with the sigils? d**n sigils...
Mayriah looked at Xadria shrewdly. She was a person who valued and respected privacy, but someone Xadria had gotten through the tough outer shell- or maybe it wasn't that touch anymore- and figured her out. It was an alamrning thought, but you had to admire that kind of bravery. "Maybe just a bit." She admitted, blushing just a little bit. "But-" and her she drooped. "For starters, there's a rule that forbids Di-Gata Defenders marrying each other...new and improved from Amis-Yan. And then, even if there wasn't, I'm fairly certain he likes Mel. And it might be reciprocated."
She was acting pathetic. Oi vey...
