"Why are you so defensive?" Vain counter voice smooth and mild. He lifted an eyebrow up in question.
The imaged of a black hair, blue eyed man was in his mind dressed in a bad taste hawani shirt. The smily face made him giggle. The silvery fur was pretty. "Yeah..is..was..unicorn?" Skittles finally said watching Alex. The beast was mystical in both words though the closest Skittles world offered was the Vani. They where a far cry from the goodly unicorns.

Marks opened his mouth to retort, but found himself sadly lacking in explanation. Bloody damn. Shutting his mouth once more, he leaned back from the almost aggressive about to stand posture he'd fallen into during the conversation, taking the make and measure of Vain in once more.
Okay, he'd been a little jumpy of late. Screw jumpy, downright crazy. And he didn't like that Vain could bring that out in him. "Testing the water," he said finally, lamely.
A slight, muffled, one-note laugh and a nod, "Without a horn," he affirmed. Odd that Skittles should realize it, when the tell-tale mark of a unicorn usually was the horn. "But the trait most likely to stand out about him will be whatever odd shirt he's decided on today..."
Arms still crossed, Alex tilted his head slightly as he glanced towards Marks and Vain, apprehension leaking back into his expression, "Why don't we... get going, then," the suggestion was hesitant as his mood. They did have to find Kingsley, but it was... complicated, really - especially when Marks and now Skittles and Vain were added into the equation. He wasn't quite sure about how to make the mechanics of the situation come together... simply, how to approach the less friendly of the four of them about the change in plans.

Skittles giggled at Kingsley chose in clothing. Why he was eccentrically dressed it was at least color coordianted to be eye friendly. "I think he's going to be like a neon sign. " His tails waved eagerly to go out and find this strange anthro.
Ohhhhh what had happened to Kingsley horn then? Unicorn had horns, the only reason he hazard the guess was from the tail. Would it be rude to ask; he wanted to know though. "Why doesn't he have a horn?" the fox began to moved in an eager or anxious movements, take your pick.
A small smile cross the demon's lips; his eyes smug clearly enjoying this small victory. "Perhaps I was just doing the same?" He left it as a question turning his head to Skittles and Alex. "We are going hunting for a unicorn anthro now? You never fail to surprise me, Skittles with your eagerness. " He shook his head with a amused laugh. "Or to volunteer with out asking first."
Skittles giggled and bounded to the other, clinging to him and bouncing in excitement. "Please? It will be fun! You can track him down by magic!"
Vain laughed ruffling the others hair. "Magic? I know magic now?"

Neon... yes, that went quite a ways when one was attempting to describe Kingsley. It was somewhat strange to see someone so childishly eager to find the wayward 'unicorn', however - Kingsley had a tendency to engender rage almost as easily as Marks, though perhaps for different characteristics. "I suspect it has something to do with the eye that was already there," he shrugged cautiously in answer to Skittles' question, still crossing his arms such that he was hugging himself.
Marks merely grimaced at Vain's response and cursed himself for not being on top of the ball. This sucked. Majorly. And what, they were after Three Eyes again now? The day just kept getting better - thanks be it was drawing to an end. "Magic?" he scoffed, "You gonna pull some sorta DnD trick on us?"
Alex's reaction to the 'magic' bit was quite different, for several reasons. First, he had reason to believe in all sorts of it, given the friends he'd made on Gaia. Second, it worried him that magic might be used in finding Kingsley - because their 'unicorn' was neither friendly towards nor ignorant of magic-users and tended to react badly to it. Third... it had something to do with the second reason - that Kingsley had ways of sensing you back, if you reached out in an extra-sensory way to find him.
It was, however, a small price to pay in lieu of the fears beginning to rise in respects to Kingsley's likely whereabouts. He'd been so focused on the growing issue with Asteil, he'd completely forgotten about the dormant, festering issues with Kingsley...

[Skittles hardly heard Alex instead wagging his tails and giving Vain larged pleading eyes, a pouting lip, the puppy dog look. He giggled as the larger hand ruffled his hair in a loving manner and cuddled against the other. "Please?"
Vain shook his head giving a rumbling laugh. "If I could use magic, I would mute your smart mouth. No, I'm just a tracker but those skill probably won't be of use in this situation. I do not know the person in question, nor do I know the enviroment. Quite Skittles." He laid his finger on the fox's lips. "I'll help out alright." He had a bit of a six sence for these type of things. Perhaps you could call it luck.

Mmm... no scrying? That was beneficial to all involved - save, perhaps, for the fact that it might be better to find Kingsley sooner rather than later. Oh make up your mind, he snapped at himself silently. "In order to track... wouldn't you have to begin from wherever he'd begun?" he asked hesitantly.
Just went to show what Rob knew about this sorta thing. "Naw, just where he's likely to turn up - process of elimination," Marks yawned, finding himself oddly pleased that the conversation had turned to Three Eyes - because it did mean that the conversation would turn away from him. "So, Vain - be our compass. Point."

"Not always..if I can pick up his trail from a point. A scent, I could probably figure out where he went." Vain shrugged his shoulders. "I found Skittles more times then I want to think about. He has no sence of direction."
Skittles pouted at the other. "That not true. See this is my right hand." He held up his left waving it in front of Vain's face.
"Skittles that your left hand."

Alex laughed a little, despite himself. He was inclined to think that Skittles' show of enthusiasm was partly for his own benefit - the cute was a good distraction from brooding thoughts. "It's been quite a while since he was here in the shop - you could try though, I suppose."
"He smells like a b***h," Marks said helpfully, hint of a smirk picking up the corners of his mouth. Skittles' adorability wasn't only helping one of them, apparently.
((Windstars~ I have an ideer~ =D Could we possibly have Vain accidentally track down Peregrine instead of Cody? Been trying to figure out a way to bring him in >>))

Vain hmmed. "It will be tricky the longer the trail the less I have to go on and the more it might error. Don't see why I can't give it a shot though. Was there a spot here he spent time in?" If he could just catch a feel he could find him, well hopefully.
Skittles mouth formed a little O of surprise as Marks swore. "You said a naughty word!" He exclaimed pointing his finger at Marks.
((^^ I don't see why not. It not a fine tune instrument or anything. ))

The problem was... the last time Kingsley had been here... Alex hadn't been. And though he'd received a long, excruciating complaint report, it'd been mostly about people (not actually the people he'd met, either...), not where he'd been. "The kitchen... here... I think..." he trailed off. Lovely. How useful.
"Oh yeah?" Marks laughed shortly at Skittles. "Whadda you call female dogs?"
((Yaaaay xd *huggu suru*))

Vain glanced around the kitchen with a silent groan. This was going to be a nightmare. Everyone sooner or latter went to the kitchen. "Is he from the same place as you where?" He asked finally. That would narrow it down. The scents where different clinging to Alex and Marks then to any other who had walked here. Well they where more like threads, lingering pieces that could lead to a dead end. If Kingsley was to old he wouldn't be able to lead them far.
Skittles mmm. "What ever the doggies name is. Serena is a favorite." He nodded his head. "She was so pretty!"
((As long as Peregrine has been in the kitchen so the scent, or thread is still fresh. ^^))

((Actually, the reason I thought it might work is that Peregrine is Kingsley's little brother xd ; ))
"More or less," Alex said, as helpful as he could be given his tendency to introduce at least two sides to any given issue, even if it was a simple a question as Vain's. He'd never been what was known as 'concise'.
"He came over from our world too," Marks pointed out, oddly the one to give more useful information.

((This will work...brothers have similar scents and Kingsley's would of faded. Crossing them is not that unheard of, specialy since he hasn't tried this ability here. ))
Vain grinned. "Alright then. Cross your fingers and pray to whatever gods that this works." He streched as he crossed the room, pushing himself up on the center of the table. "Skittles I'm going to test this ability first using the focus. just to warn you." His fingers touched the necklace, running across the purple hairs. "So, I'm going to close my eyes and you get to hide."
Skittles giggled and tugged on Alex's sleeve. "Come with me? Please?" He grinned eagerly.

((Yay for workage xd ))
Alex, whose first reaction had been to fold one arm across his chest and start gnawing nibbling on the nails of the other, was surprised but easily persuaded to do as Skittles requested. New magics made him nervous - terribly curious and eager to understand, but nervous all the same. "Yes, of course," he whispered in response, not entirely sure why it felt odd to speak at a normal volume. Besides, perhaps, the fact that they were supposed to be hiding. "Lead on."
Marks made a small noise of amusement and shook his head, "Hide n' seek?" he scoffed. "Cute."
