[Quiet Man Cometh]

Syrgei looks around a moment, realizing that, besides Tsaerri, two others of their number are missing, "Hey," hey he says to Gambooge. "Where's Ed and Dan?"

Of course, if he didn't see them, there's a fair chance the elementalist hasn't, either.

This is the last thing we need.

"Maybe Ed just followed Tsaerri, or..." Actually, I'm not sure that would be a good thing.

Shaking his head, he decides to start scanning the surrounding area from their modest hill-top. He sees Dan not too far down the path, loping back towards them. He meets the charr down the path. "Hey, Dan. Have you see Eduardo? It's probably not the best for him to go wandering off."

It isn't long before he sees Eduardo making his own way toward them, followed by...

what, is that?

...flashes of purple and a small hunched figure bouncing along the landscape.

"Nevermind."
