The Dead Forest (Increased Orc activity due to skirmish)

[Hogosha No Juunikyuu]

Juuni grinned and jiggled in John's arms, leaning forwards and licking his cheek before giggling.

"Chu ish damp again" xp

The small neko wriggled further about in John's arms and eventually clambered onto his back, tail wrapped around his thigh as her arms draped around his neck.

The steady rythm of his walk began to have a somewhat sleepy effective on the neko-jin and she yawned before nuzzling into the back of his neck.

"Mrrr...."

heart  

[Tomorrow]

He placed his hands behind him to make sure she didn't slip if she did fall asleep and kept on walking at a steady pace, his large frame moving through the crowd rather easily - after all, who's going to stand in the way of a 250 pound, 6'4" man with dark clothes and sunglasses...with a little girl on his back?

Not that many.

Soon John made his way back to the forest, and entered it, moving around the trees before coming to the clearing where they'd landed.  

[Enki Leviathan]

*Yawns as he starts wandering down the path of the large forest surrounding his forest, looking around a bit*  

[Hogosha No Juunikyuu]

Juuni yawned and stirred slightly in John's arms. They'd obviously just fallen asleep back in the clearing after their trip last night. The strong arms of John held the Neko close as he was sat up against on of the walls of the cabin under the shelter of the porch. Smiling Juuni nuzzled against his chest and yawned again, slowly rubbing her eyes with her free hand before slowly slipping out of John's hug and down onto the cool wooden porch floor.

The neko-jin yawned and stretched widely, her arms high above her head as she tottered about on tip toes, sniffing contently at the morning forest air before relaxing and smiling.

"Mew..."  

[Enki Leviathan]

*Continues down the path in the cool air. He thinks he sees something through the trees, a small cabin purhaps. He continues walking toward it, his clothes flowing about gently in the air*  

[Hogosha No Juunikyuu]

Juuni's body suddenly became tense and alert. Her ears flickered underneath her hat as she turned to face towards one of the paths leading towards the cabin, her head cocked to the side in curiousity.

"Mewish?"  

[Enki Leviathan]

*Hears a small mew coming from what was, in fact, a cabin. He continues walking along the path when it dawns on him that that specific mew. Continueing to walk toward the path, he watches the cabin for signs of life*  

[Hogosha No Juunikyuu]

By now, the curious neko had climbed up onto one of the railings around the porch and was stood on tip toe attempting to catch a glimpse of what had made the footsteps she had heard. Her eyes widened with dilated pupils as she caught sight of a flash of blue hair and she hurriedly jumped down from her vantage point, scittering across the earthy floor with a slight excitement and aprehension.

"Papa...?"  

[Enki Leviathan]

*He hears the small cry and stops for a moment. Enki then begins running toward the cabin. When he sees little Juunish, he kneels down and opens his arms to her, tears of joy forming in his eyes upon seeing his daughter again*

Juuni?  

[Hogosha No Juunikyuu]

eek

Juuni froze in place when as if in answer to her murmered question Enki actually appeared. The small neko swallowed hard and flicked her ears as she slowly advanced towards the Leviathan. Her nose twitched as she stood about a foot away and snuffled towards him. Once her nose was satisfied the small neko-jin timidly reached a small hand forwards to trace over his facial features slowly and softly before smiling and throwing herself into his arms.

"Enki-Papa-sama!" heart  

[Enki Leviathan]

*Wraps his arms around Juunikyu and holds her close, crying softly as he keeps her against him, so happy to see his daughter once again* crying  

[Hogosha No Juunikyuu]

The small neko nuzzled against her fathers chest, purring softly as her tail wrapped loosely around his waist. Rubbing her nose into his chest she slowly pulled away and cocked her head to the side, brushing his tears away with her right hand.

"Where chu been Papa? Ish chu hurt?"  

[Enki Leviathan]

*Enki smiles softly and whipes away the rest of his tears*

I'm not hurt at all, just so happy to see you again, little one... you havn't come home for a long time...  

[Hogosha No Juunikyuu]

Juuni blinked and then looked away from Enki slightly shamefully.

"Juunish did forget her way home... She could no find it. And then Nedy-Mama gots taken away and Maximos... Maximos did a bad thing to Juunikyuu-sama..."

She turned back to face Enki, her crystal blue eyes shimmering with tears.

"I'm sorry I upset you Papa..."  

[Enki Leviathan]

*Brings her back against his body, holding her head against his chest*

YOu never upset me, hunny... you just had me worried...
