"No I don't remember ours.. I've told you this" He looked away knowing that it's not something you should forget, but due to a few close calls it had happened. "But fine.. though honestly I don't know what to say, spouting off bullshit is one thing.. but I can't here can i"

"i am sorry, i forget sometimes i have to remember for both of us" he looked away ashamed, it was his fault thalion could not remember and it hurt them both when he let things like that slip. he half turned back and offered a watery smile, "no worries, we don't have to talk, we are only there to keep them occupied"

He smirked a little "well go back to your little circus act then, it seemed to work" Though in truth he was merely picking fun at him over the whole rock trick. "though... we need something that will work for a few hours.. and wear them out." He seemed to think on it a moment "what to do.. " He didn't remember signing up to do this sort of job but apparently he had no choice in the matter.

"guess we could always take them outside of the village for a bit, that normally works as far as them wearing themselves out. Not like anythings going to happen to them with both of us there."

without a pause he reached for his arm and opened his mouth "are you sure that is wise? there are a lot more beasts running loose than usual"

"well tell me a better idea then, and hied and seek is not a option...." he warned him as he spoke.

(omg gah short post)

"damn...." he really needed a new fall-back if his idea always got shot down before it was ever asked. thinking for a few moments drew nothing "uuhh......" well, we have to stay at least somewhat close alright? he smiled sheepishly

"i didn't mean we were going in the middle of the forest.. just on the edge." He laughed a little, why would he risk going that far into the forest. "though i guess we should run it by the children huh.."

he smiled again at the laugh "you know they are up for it" he looked around "speaking of which where did they go? i thought you were watching them"

"huh?" He questioned Zosa as he asked where they were. "er... they aren't here?" He looked around before back to Zosa. "I normally don't have to keep a eye on them, Verdia just follows me and her brother follows her.. shit where did they go?" This could be a problem really.

he sighed in exasperation "oh thalion!" it was most reasonable to assume that they were just playig n improptu game of hide-and-go-seek but there was still the small part of him that talked of wild animals and soft chid's flesh. he tried not to panic

"What, was i suppose to know that they'd run off?" He sighed a little before he started walking. "come on, you should take that direction we'll figure out where they are faster if we split up.." Though he wanted to just leave the kids where ever they were ... he didn't want to risk the chance they had run off into the forest either.

he nodded. looking high and low through the foilage he began calling out for the two in hopes or seeing a shuffle of leaves or a half-stifled giggle. he was desperate for any sign that they were indeed nearby

It felt like it had been forever. Once or twice Zosa had crossed his path and they had not seen hide nor hair of the twins. "oh come on.. out of all the days, i swear if they are playing a joke.." He said sounding a bit annoyed in the process as he continued walking.

He stopped a moment to call out for Verdia and Azuro, though he didn't get a answer once more. This thing he'd expect out of Verida.. but her brother normally was well enough behaved.

he was about to give up and call for a search party when the tell-tale giggle came from above him, he sighed in relief and gave one long whistle for his tailios to come.

He heard the whistle when he was about to go look for Zosa anyway. After he finally caught up to him he sighed a little. "I swear... this is why I don't want kids.." He shook his head a little. All that fuss...

he laughed 'marry a man or become a monk, those are your choices haha' to be honest right now the desire to grab them both potato-sack style and dump them in their rooms was strong. 'how about, you two come down and we play elsewhere?' he was met with nods as both children came down. he hoped this would be /all/ of their troubles for the rest of the stay
