Xadria was a bit embarrassed, but was fortunately spared being her slight post-nosiness-shame by breaking into a laugh. Her laugh stopped abruptly though with Mayriah's, "You can tell?" Clearly, she'd never had need for many rendevous points.

May nodded, colour flooding her pale cheeks. Have some control, honestly... "See, there's smoke rising and the fact that a Di-Gata Practice Battle is going on is a small hint." She teased, urging Ceb on faster. "Adam is there too."

Xadria tried not to look too impressed.
"Is he?" She was now working more on the restraint of her gladness, "And the others." She added hastily, accelerating a little more.

May laughed. "Yes, the others." She leaned forwards and whispered to Ceb again. The beast stopped. "Cerberius, Reroot!" And the Guardian returned to the Stone.
She waved Xadria over and softly whistled like a bird. "Adam should recognize it and let them know we're here." She whispered, her throat constricted with excitement.

Xadria smiled oddly, just sort of sitting edgily in her seat, awaiting, almost nervously, whatever oddities these Defender-creatures were. Of course, this being said, she was disregarding the fact that she was one of them.
"MAY!" A feminine, high-pitched shriek of delight resounded from the forest, and, almost instantaniously, was followed by a small girl. Four little, red pigtails stuck out of her head from numerous angles, framing a face of bright delight and excitement, "May-may-may-may-may-may-MAYYYYY!" She giggled.
Xadria blinked.
"Where in Rados have you been? D'you know how much you've missed? Seth almost took of Erik's head with one of his attacks, and Adam got thrown into a tree, and Mel's just... Mel, and I've been riding over this place with V-Moth and - ohmigawsh - isn't it bea-u-tiful?" She chirped excitedly, then gasped for air, having said this all in nearly one breath.

{{OOC//: Perce...YOU PAWN ALL RADOS!}}
May was taken aback with the suddenness of being spotted but nonetheless hugged Kara. "Hello again." She said warmly, feeling oddly comforted that she had been missed.
"Kara, this is my friend Xadria. She's a Defender. We both are and we want to join up with you. If you'll let us." She added that last part in a rush.
"Of course we will!" Erik, Kara's older brother had followed his sister and now was hugging May too. He held out a hand to Xadria. "I'm Erik, and this loud person is my little sister Kara."
May laughed. "I heard you almost lost your head."
"I totally let him."

Xadria smiled awkwardly, as if this were one of those things she could either not believe, or not want to. It was strange to see how quickly they were to react to everything, and it was almost making her afraid. Did they treat every aspect in life with such quickness? Duels as well as conversation?
"Pleasure." She said, shaking Erik's hand, a little shyly, "Where are --"
"Not running away again, are you, Erik?" A male voice came from an approaching figure, "Oh - Mayriah." He said, sounding a bit surprised, a bit pleased, and definitely cautious.

{{OOC//: Uh-oh...}}
Mayriah smiled at Xadria's shyness. What? The girl that had managed to drive May crazy in 6 minutes was afraid?
She opened her mouth to ask Erik if Adam had arrived when a familor voice sounded. Heart stopped-check. Pulse quickened-check. Red flush, matching her hair-check. Doing her best to act non-chalent, she turned. "Hello."

Xadria couldn't really help feeling awkward; here she was, a girl who had worked alone for years, travelling, conversing, fighting - now she was being thrown in a team, and teamwork was something she hadn't yet learned.
She grinned, facing downward and staring at the ground as May's face reddened instantly. Oh yes, the ellusive crush figure had arrived: this must be Seth.
Unlike the others, there was no bone-crushing hug, no incredibly, mind-boggling string of words that made no sense, there was only a sort of goofy grin that was probably intended to look terribly dignified and sophisticated, as if he was a leader through-and-though - which he kinda was, "What're you doing here?"

{{OOC//: *dies of joy*}}
May slowly returned to a normal shade of pale. She would have been ashamed if her feelings were really obvious.
"Actually...me and my friend Xadria have some good new." She cleared her throat. "Remember when I last visited and mentioned I might come back? Well...I have. Xadria and I are...Defenders. And if its alright with you, we'd like to stay."
Adam nodded franticlly. Erik smiled. "Its good with me."

Seth looked a bit reluctant to say yes, at the same time as he seemed to want to. Xaria got the distinct impression that he didn't like how Erik was voicing his opinions and acting a little bit like the leader - Seth, it appeared, didn't much like this idea.
As if to increase suspence, he paused for a moment before answering, "The more the merrier." Which sounded a bit like 'we need all the help we can get' and 'stay - please, stay!'

{{OOC//: Aww! Now I need a Xadria/Adam moment...}}
May's typical reaction was to smile, thank them, maybe shake hands. Not suddenly without warning throw her arms around a person and hug them while thanking them profusly.
The best thing that could be said was that she let go pretty quick, returning to bright red and holding her hands behind her back. Taking May's embarresessment as a distraction, Adam slipped beside Xadria and laced his hand with her's. "Fancy meeting you here."

{You totally do not. } "Good to see you again, May." Seth said, a little awkwardly, perhaps in shyness or sheer strangeness of the entire reunion. He seemed to completely disregard the idea of a phsyical greeting - no handshake, no hug - no one said he didn't think about it, though, "Everything good on your end?" Whether he meant something along the lines of 'Brackus' or 'personally' was terribly unspecified. Xadria blushed in the girlish way she had decided was the d**ned death of all - or, atleast, as far as dignity and humility went, "I didn't expect it at all." She smiled as subtley as she could, trying to keep her face from breaking into a broad grin.

"Erm...same." May seemed to decide that the less physical conection made, the less problem it would make for her. She snatched at her bag and quickly zoomed out of the others to see Mel.
Adam made a little quirk, raising his eybrows and smiled. "Same here. Funny, isn't it?" He seemed to find May losing all composure and Xadria's blush hysterical.

Seth looked dreadfully confused at May's abrupt dashing. Why on Earth did girls do that? Why did they just ... poof? He was disappointed, and, at the same time, busy trying to understand it all. It was time to quite Adam: 'Girls - yeesh!"
{TSK. Bad May; playing hard-to-get}
May looked absolutely terrified at this: May couldn't leave! May was her security! May was the only one who could tell her anything! She could talk to May! May made sense! Seeming utterly terrified, she smiled at the others, blinking a bit nervously, "Uhm, I guess I'd better join Mayriah."
Seth looked on the verge of offering to take her to her.

{{OOC//: No, May is on the verging of vomiting in fear. xDD}} {{"Girls...yeesh!" I love that line...xDDDDD}}
Adam had half a mind to stop Xadria so he could stay with her, but at this moment Mel came out. Her gaze went immediatly to Adam's hand entwined with Xadria's.
"Hello." She said icily.
Adam smiled charmingly, but his grip on Xadria's hand remained the same. "Mel. Met Xadria? Defender? Joining you guys?"
Mel opened her mouth to say something when May sort of stumbled back out, having tripped over a branch. She smiled at Mel, noticing with a flick of her eyes the trouble brewing. "MEL! Great to see you again, I have something to show you, lets go over here..."

{Oh. +facepalm+ It is a good line, though. xD And, BTW: I love your siggy!}
Xadria was hardly listening; she was admiring Adam's rougish, charming smile. The name of the girl drew her out of her moment, though, and she brought herself to studying the girl. Pretty, sane-looking, and not hugely happy-seeming, she'd caught Xadria's attention.
"Pleasure to meet you, Mel." Her voice was heavy and sweet, like a variety of foul honey that's far too sugary for anyones' taste.
Seth didn't seem to be paying a whole lot of attention to any of the conversation until May stumbled back in. He'd moved to balance her, but she'd gotten herself under control too quickly for him to have any impact - d**n.

{{OOC//: ROFL. Not that she couldn't. She just REALLY likes Seth. xDD}} {{Yes, awesome. On parr with anything Flinch says.}} {{Thanks! I can't get it to center though, and for some reason, I can't get a link like yours. Ah well, Ceb is awesome, and the quotes are mine.}} {{OMG. Seth! *huggles*}} {{Another OOC. *headdesk* I got grounded again. Sort have been depressed all of two days, but its sort of serious. Thankfully I got a lot of it sorted out. =] }}
May seemed to stiffen when Seth made a movement, obviously thinking one of two things-he was trying to get closer to Mel, or he was leaving. May liked Mel, she was nice and a good friend, but May was insanely jealous of her.
The danger moment had passed and May tossed her head theatriclly and smiled that charming Adam smile-it got you out of trouble pretty quick, and in fact May had relied on that smile so much it almost put her Stones to disuse.
"What are we waiting for?" She asked brightly, her eyes flicking again to Adam, in a sort of help-me-out-here way. She removed her pack and rustled inside. "I have enough food to sink a ship. Let's eat."
Mel's eyes were slits, staring a hole in Xadria, but May tapped her shoulder. "And I brought a ton of Yintos scrolls we can look at, from the Bakorian Age." Mel turned to May and lost her angry look. "Really? Awesome!" The two headed over to the fire. Adam exhaled. "Close, huh?" He teased, lightly kissing Xadria's cheek.

{=D Aww. 'Young love' +more Rita-Skeeter isms+ Haha. Touche. ^^
[center][url=]Title wanted here[/url][/center] I'm really sorry to hear that, but I'm glad to hear you're doing better. <3}
Xadria noted the stiffening of May's figure, but didn't comment much, due to the fact it seemed Adam was too close for her to have any clear thinking properties. Seth, however, just looked more confused than ever before. Not a terribly leaderly ability, but it was the dominent. In any case, he went over and joined the girls by the fire, sitting by them expectantly, as if awaiting May's war-stories.
"Kinda." Xadria giggled nervously, honestly much more concerned than she was letting on; here was teamwork with a girl who seemed to hate her - already.
