OOC: For Australis and Kismet (and Soren if he's joining Secretua and wants to come)

Her father had given her a mission and Warja was keen on making it happen. Since much of Alacritia was under snow, the aspiring Healer had come up with another plan to get the herbs and lessons in that were required of her. Of course, it was entirely likely that Rune would not like the way she was going to go about solving her problem, but that was his fault. He should have been more specific. Tipping back her head, the diminutive fae called for anyone in Secretua who wished to join her on an adventure to the newly discovered southern continent. She was fairly certain that Kismet would take her up on the offer, but her father had said 'wolves' so she needed to find more than just him even though she preferred his solitary company to a possible troop of wolves. Speaking --Thinking

Kismet had been present when Warja had been assigned her mission. No healer himself truth be told he wasn't sure he would count what with the whole teaching them along the way nor was he even certain he would actually be allowed to go. That being said the Adravendi male wanted to go. Secretua was still somewhat awkward for him and trying to adjust into the pack without his friend at his side, well that wouldn't make things any easier at all. More importantly it'd been a long time since he and Warja had done any exploring together, how he longed for another little adventure for the pair of them. The howl he heard was unmistakably from Warja and seeking volunteers to go with her on her mission. So it seemed, much to Kismet's delight that specific wolves hadn't been assigned to accompany her and that meant that unless for whatever reason Warja requested he stayed here, he was free to go with her. A grin passed across his features as he realised that fact and he wasted no time at all in racing across the lands to join her. He was pleased to discover as he arrived that no one else had beaten him and it meant that there was therefore still space for him to join the little outing. "You need some company?" He asked simply, he of course knew the answer though and the question was just a way of offering his. He'd give Warja a little nuzzle in greeting before asking his next question. "Where are we going?"

Keiki

If Keiki had heard her sister’s call she would have rushed over to answer it, if there was adventure to be had she wanted to be part of it. As it stood she had no idea of what exploration was about to go down without her. So perhaps it was lucky that she stumbled upon her sister and her new friend. Keiki had not been there for Kismet’s appearance and though she now could recognize him by sight she still had no idea who this strange boy was. A grin spread across her features as she approached the pair, moving to stand beside her sister; noticing for the first time just how much taller she was. “Who’th this?” She asked in her usual awkward fashion, unaware of her mistake. Icy blue gaze moved from the russet faced boy to watch her sister intently.

As she knew he would, Kismet appeared. He was the first to arrive (also not a surprise) and when he extended an affectionate touch Warja responded by moving to bump his chest with her shoulder playfully. "Desperately," she joked in response to his first question. Before she could reply to his second one, her sister Keiki appeared. As she'd done with Kismet, Warja sidled up to the taller fae and attempted to bump her with her shoulder. With the arrival of her sister, Warja decided that she had enough volunteers. The image of her being followed by a long line of wolves as if they were a duck family did not appeal to her. Turning to face Keiki, she chirped, "This is Kismet." Finally it was time to answer Kismet's question. Shooting him a quick look, she said, "The three of us are going on an adventure," Oops, 'adventure' was a little too fun for what she thought her dad had in mind for this little excursion. She amended, "I mean, a mission to a place I've never been before." Rumors had been circulating of a land that had risen out of the water after the hurricanes. How could she possibly pass up on something like that? Grinning like a fool, she spilled their destination, "The southern continent." Speaking --Thinking

Kismet would have been perfectly happy with the little adventure, or mission rather, being simply himself and Warja. It'd be just like the old days, their little explorations around the island when they were in Valhalla and the far more risky ones once he had been freed from Glaciem. As long as it wasn't anyone like Rune accompanying them however, someone constantly watching over their shoulder and only causing nerves to stir within him. He had often been a rather serious boy, but there was certainly something fun about these trips with Warja and he didn't want this one being ruined. Keiki of course wasn't like her father in personality, and though he didn't really know the girl at all, Warja's ease at having the other with them would cause him not to worry that the adventure had just been killed before any excitement had even begun. Warja would introduce him and then speak, informing them of where they would be going. He'd heard the rumours, though too caught up in family problems and doing something to prove himself to Rune and the pack he hadn't dared try to venture out and see if the stories of the land bridge were true or not. Warja was about to change that it seemed, and he would only grin softly at her enthusiasm. He wouldn't argue with the plan.
