Aza looked around, hearing a commotion. "the hell is she, anyway?" asked the hallucination, who glared at the great, giant tree. "I dunno...she's with Valen, I know that for sure"

"how's about we go look for her?"

"P-Pastel...no...we should wait for her" to anyone else, it'd look like she was talking to thin air, but only a few creatures seemed to stare and whisper, but those who knew her condition just brushed it off.

(Welcome Zelph, Braux, and Diaze! )

Valen was admiring thenscene around them when he noticed Lily's eyes. Ever since she had told him that her eyes changed with her mood he had been paying closoer attention to them.

"Is everything ok?" He asked.

"Huh?" Lily asked, jumping a bit. "O-oh, yeah, yeah." she said, "just thinking about something..." she was telling the truth, just not the full truth.

Braux looked up at the sky and shaded his eyes from the sun with his hand. They would need to find a place to stay the night and he didn't know much about this community. He lowered his gaze and happened to spot a lady sitting on some stairs. He turned to Zelph and Diaze who was back to arguing again. "Lets go." his soft commanding tone shut them up real quick.

Zelph jogged up beside Braux and looked up at him. He was about four inches taller than her and two inches taller than Diaze so they always both literally and physically looked up to him. "Where are we going Braux?"
He turned to her eager ruby eyes and spoke. "We need a place to stay soon." though it wasn't dark yet, he liked to be prepared.

"Tch. Why? So we can get thrown out again like last time." muttered Diaze. Zelph's gaze snapped to him. "You chewed up the pillows you mutt." Diaze narrowed his eyes at her. "So. It was OUR room, we paid for it." Zelph sighed and looked ahead and noticed they were headed to some lady on the steps. She seemed to be talking to herself, much like Braux did.

The petite girl had tears in her cyan eyes, which were dull. Aza squeezed her knees tighter. "Come oooon! Where's your sense in adventure?"

"Sis never said to..."

"She said that it's fine to go and find her in these situations." Pastel said, pink eyes staring straight into Aza's being.

"Your eyes went dull again," Valen told her. "Your worried about Aza?"

He plucked pieces of grass as they brushed against his arm in the breeze.

"No." Lily said, giving a small smile. "I'm sure she's fine. She's probably fast asleep, she looked tired anyway. No way that she'd pop up again with Aza asleep." she closed her eyes

"Excuse me my lady." Braux bowed slightly. Aza looked like she was crying and his eyes narrowed.
She is crying.
What is wrong?
We need a place to stay.
We have to help her.
All the voices were scrambling in his head. SILENCE! He commanded and all went quiet. Zelph approched a small purring sound vibrated through her body. "Miss? Are you alright?"

Diaze stood away from them, his ebony hair covering his purple hued eyes as they peered at the ground. Braux placed a hand on Zelph's head and looked at her with a nod of approval. Thank goodness Diaze wasn't making it worse. "Is there anything we can do for you malady?" Braux spoke gently to the sad girl in front of them.

Aza seemed to jump, before looking up. She then shook her head, whimpering as tears streamed down her cheeks. "m-my sis...she's...not home at the moment...a-a-and..." her voice quivered as her body began to quake as she swallowed sobs that threatened to escape her throat.

Aza was obviously scared, as Pastel just growled and sat on the ground abruptly, seemingly vanishing from Aza's vision for the time being. The pink haired girl seemed to jump again, flinching at Pastel's swift movement.

"She?" Valen queried. "Who wouldn't show up?" He gave Lily a sideways look. What was she talking about?

"Ah-!" Lily's eyes let out a spark as she sat up, "w-w-well...I let that slip...I'll tell anyway" Lily then cleared her throat.

"Aza has a sever case of Schizophrenia, but the thing is she has this strange ability to switch places with a hallucination of a made up sister. She goes by the name of Pastel, because Aza says she's made of pastel colors. Pastel can take up Aza's speech, movement, etc."

"Oh..." Valen said. "That doesn't sound good."

He plucked a few more blades of grass and twirled them in his fingers, an uncertain look on his face.

"So that's why she needs you around? You can fix it?"

"Hmmm." Braux rubbed the side of his chin. Zelph stood up and looked at Braux. "We should help her." Diaze cut in and grumbled. "What about our place to stay? I am not sleeping outside-"
Zelph growled, "Stop being insensitive. Just because your a mutt doesn't mean you need to act like you don't have manners."
"What did you call me Beasty?" Diaze toothy grinned followed after his insult.
"Why you little pompous-" Zelph was silenced by Braux's glare. "That is enough." his blue eyes seemed to glow brightly then faded back to their normal state before looking at the girl. "Would you like us to assist you?" he held out a hand toward the girl, doing it slowly since she seemed skittish. Diaze huffed and looked at Zelph with a look that said he was going to finish this later.

"I can't fix it, but I have a spell that can post-pone Pastel from appearing" Lily said, glancing at Valen before looking at the ground.

Aza's eyes seemed to shimmer, as she nodded, taking the hand that the person had reached out to her. She sniffled and wiped her tears, that still seemed to fall endlessly, with her other hand. She frowned at how seemingly tiny her hand seemed compared to his...

His emotionless face wanted to give a small smile, but that was easier said than done. He gently pulled her up and hoped her tears would fade. Zelph chimed in and was more like a hyper child than that of an adult, "So do you know where she might have gone?" she began to walk as they started in a random direction. "Ya know, Diaze is like a dog. Maybe he can smell her scent." Zelph giggled as Diaze glared at her. Braux didn't think that was a bad idea however.

He looked at Diaze and gave him a look that said that he should give it a try. Diaze grumbled at both of them and move away from them for a moment. His head looked up, his hair falling away from his glowing purple eyes and he inhaled deeply. For a minute it didn't seem like it worked, but a grin spread across his face and Braux knew he had gotten something. Looking down at the girl Braux spoke lowly, "I think we may have a scent. Would you like to follow it malady?"

"I see," he said, also glancing at the ground. He was silent for a moment, then spoke once more. "You're really good at what you do... I bet one of these days you find a way to fix it forever."

Aza's eyes shined, as she nodded vigorously. "Y-yes!" her quiet voice said as she seemed to give a hopeful smile. She shivered and whimpered as Pastel began to whisper to her. "don't trust them, they're strangers!" the whisper said, "Stop!" Pastel's voice raised, making Aza's smile go away and tears fall even faster now.

The lavender haired girl just nodded, silent.

"Pastel's gotten worse, making Aza cling to me whenever we're at home and alone. It's gotten to the point that she's started sleeping in my bed, and refuses to leave. She's...gone back to her habits from when she was a itty bitty...tiny 3 year old..." she was glad to at least talk to someone about this...

"I guess I could see that being a little difficult to deal with all the time," he agreed. "Though, Insuppose she must really be scared when it happens."

He shrugged. "I Don't know... I kind of have different personalities. I meam, every animal that I have ever saved lives inside me. I can hear all their thoughts like they were talking to me. It scared me at first and I knew what was going on."

"Eh?" Lily looked at Valen. "Really? That's...neat...and scary."

"It was scary at first, but I learned to control it. Because they are in my body I'm ultimately in control. Now it's almost just like knowing everything they know."
