We Gotta Burn This Evil Out [Aris]

Gossamer said she hadn't called for her, and Aris squinted suspiciously at her. "What do you mean you didn't call for me, I heard someone call me clear as day! It was either you or someone else and I don't see anyone -" But there was someone else, as was made obvious when the sudden appearance of their older, bear-pawed brother put an end to her grouching. Well, for a split second, anyway, before he ran his mouth. She scowled at him, bristling at both jabs. Princess. Goss spoke up, making Ari smirk. "Yeah, Azure, shouldn't you be making sure Bean doesn't go eating any mushrooms? We wouldn't want his precious insides melting."

But her attention wandered midsentence, and she finished it with obvious distraction as she turned her head, frowning, as she caught a sound like a thousand voices whispering at once, only to fade out again. Unless Azure's companions had been recruiting for a really elaborate prank... "What the fuck is that?" Her bristles went up in aggression and stayed up. But the only thing she could see around them were fireflies, and they weren't even real fireflies. She'd proved that last time she was with Azure, hadn't she?
