If you say so. Einar said, looking warily at the cooing bird. To him, t was nothing more than a bunch of unconnected sound, but so was any language he didn't know as well (though he knew quite a bit of them, considering how long he had lived; it was just that his accent was about 300 years old).

He followed after the skipping Aspen, and once more it dawned on him how lost he was in his new surroundings. He didn't like that one bit, and it made him frown again, something heavy setting in on his chest.

A minute later he realised what he was doing, and bursted out laughing. Here he was a 600 years old warrior, sulking like a little child. Wasn't he about that already? he thought to himself, smiling bitterly, and forgetting, for a moment, that he wasn't alone.

Aspen was very happy to follow her friend. She watched his feathers ruffle in the strong wind, and hoped that he wasn't to cold up there. She knew it would be a few minutes walk back to the Academy, they were pretty lost after all. Suddenly, she heard Einar start laughing. She felt relieved. She hadn't heard him laugh at all while they were walking, and she felt more at ease.

She looked to him as she was walking and contemplated whether or not she should ask him why he was laughing. She decided just to ask a normal question, to help the conversation along. "It must seem weird to be following a bird right?" She always got strange looks whenever she was around animals for a long time. Of course, the people didn't understand her powers. They didn't know about them at all in fact. Aspen was excellent at keeping secrets.

It's not that. he says, shaking his head. It is definitely not that. If anything, following the bird was one of the less weird things he had done in his already weirdly long life. Not that he minded either of those things. And he certainly wasn't going to tell the girl what he had really been thinking about.

Ask your feathered friend how long until we get to the school. In meters or hours, preferably. I do not know any of the pigeon measurements. he says, lengthening his steep. He can't wait to get back to school now.

Aspen shrugged as he said that wasn't what is was. She decided just to leave it at that, there was no point now to ask why he was laughing. She nodded, and politely asked the bird-out loud- if he knew how long of a walk,- or flight for him- it would be till they got to the Academy. He replied with a happy coo saying that if they kept of the good pace, maybe fifteen minutes or a little less. Apsen nodded. The wind was blowing in her face, and it was cold, she was determined to walk quickly.

"If we keep up the good pace another fifteen minutes! She said over the slightly noisy wind." She picked up her speed a little, wanting to get back to the warmth of her room. But first, she was going to check on Rising Moon to make sure she was warm enough. Although spring was there, kinda, it was still cold weather. But she didn't mind. She was used to it after all!

Thank Heavens. he muttered, adding a few words in a long forgotten language of his homeland. He spoke multiple languages over the multiple centuries but he always reverted to his native one when his mind was somewhere else. And that's where it was right now-somewhere else. He hopped they would reach school grounds soon so he could find somewhere else to occupy him. Perhaps a trip to the stables. Yeah, that sounded about right. A ride around the woods on the horse would help get his mind off the things it wasn't supposed to be on in the first place. God, he hated this place sometimes. It was far too distracting and his mind, through his power, far too easily changed. He sighed, suddenly feeling tired.

How much more?

Aspen could tell her traveling companion was tired, and no not the bird. She smiled, the little bird was being so kind to lead them back to the school. It she'd been really desperate, Aspen could have flown and guided, but she was scared of being blown away by such strong wind, for she was a pretty small person in frame. She chatted with the little bird as they walked along, until the bird cooed happily.

Aspen looked ahead of her, to see the Academy. She was so happy to see it again. "Look were here, or almost!" She skipped around Einar happily and then in front of him, as she asked the little bird to land on her finger. She petted the bird, offering it a thanks fro the both of them, and told him to come visit.

"Well, I guess we shall part ways now, my friend."( that's what she called everyone after all!) She happily held out a hand so he could shake it. "Maybe we'll see each other around?" She felt glad that this hadn't been a bad trip, she wasn't shaking in fear, and she felt pretty safe around Einar. It was an experience worth getting lost for.

(ooc- If you could just write a quick reply, and end that would be the end that would be great!)

Finally. he mutters, feeling somewhat better now that he was on somewhat familiar ground. He sighs, shifting his shoulder, as he looks around. Stables would be that way, right? Probably.

He turns to his left and sees Aspen offering him her hand. I guess. he says, shaking it, albite a bit reluctantly. Good bye, woman. he waves his hand and leaves to the stables... Probably. He isn't actually all that familiar with the school grounds either.
