Ayalmar laughed, clapping a hand over the roc's back, staff vanishing. "Don't worry, brother. I'm sure you'll win out over the cat sooner or later," he grinned, then promptly ducked a swipe at his head from Lohiya.

The roc sighed dramatically. "No love for the poor birdy... " he pouted, slumping to sit on the forest floor, sniffling.

Ayalmar chuckled. "Sorry bud, i can't hold a lot of understanding sympathy for ya... im covered here " he grinned, as he wrapped an arm around Iya's waist beside him, who laughed a bit.

Lohiya sighed again, louder this time. "Well fine," he said loudly, emphasized; glancing over at the tracker's direction. "Then i guess *Bella* won't get to learn about the *new exciting adventure* that we called her for in the *first place*..." he gazed down at his fingernails casually.

Bella blinked, turning from the cat over to the air master. "What new adventure?" she asked curiously.

"No no, yoooouu chose the cat... get HIM to tell you about it... since his word is cleeeary better than mine..." he said in an aloof tone, eyebrows raised.

The other couple chuckled softly, amused.
