[Pinkie]

Mizuki stood there as he looked to the large male. "Felix. Common but not so much now adays in the tribes up north. Your line must be an old one." He said with a tilt of his head. There could be alot to learn from this male and about more then one thing. But that didnt take his attention more then the interruption of the drows name. Thalion lo... thats all he got. There was alot of names with the start of lo. That was going to drive him nuts! Though not as much as the fact that most exciles from drows were killed before they left the kingdom. Either that or they escaped and died in the mountain caves trying to get out. Curious.

However before Mizuki could say anything the leaders were back saying there last bit and all the while Mizuki just tuned them out. He had heard it so many times before it meant nothing to him at the moment. Have to complete as a team. So that would mean that he would have to watch out for everyone. The last talk and they were dismissed for the night as the travel up and down the mountain would start at first light. After the leads walked away he turned to them. "I suggest the pair of you get what is needed and some rest. I need you alive to get through this." With that he moved and pushed himself between them having Luna fallow. As he walked away he could only smirk at the curses Thalion threw out behind him.

There was some herbs he needed to stalk up on before this trip so that was what he did first. After that a few light meats and breads and he himself was finished. Meeting back with Luna they pitched a spot in a clearing near camp and called it a night. Mizuki rose early. As he did he gathered what was needed including Luna and headed for the base of the mountain. It was a about an hours walk from the town to the meeting point and when they got there no one was around. "People. Always waiting until the last minute." He said with a shake of his head. Hell it was sad when they even beat the instructors there. Just when he was about to make a little camp there was a rustle in the trees behind him and with a twitch of an ear he smirked. "A little late this morning are you not?" Mizuki said and looked over his shoulder as he gave Thalion a look just to piss him off.

Getting the curse he was expecting he turned and faced him. "Just remember that sadly I do need you to stay alive so ill slow my pace just for you." Here he gave a little smile that was mocking in the highest order. His ears dipped up and his lavender eyes perked a bit. "Okay pumpkin?" He said in an almost sing song voice. Thalion however didnt think it to be funny and tried to retaliate when the commander walked through the trees. "Team work is not egging one on." He said in a stern voice as if chastising a child. Mizukis ears dipped and he turned his head. "Yes sir." He said almost grumpy before turning.

"Early birds get the worm however." The commander said as he turned to the group. "Since you are the first full group here you reek the benefits." With that he walked forward and passed over a little vile. "You will know what its for when its needed. With that I bid you safe travels and an ado." With that he pointed to the gate. "I would start walking if I was you. And I will see you in about six days. Five if you hurry and four for a new record." With that he turned and stood at the entrance waiting for the other groups. Mizuki sighed. "Might as well get this over with." Turning he didnt say another word as he began walking towards the gate then up the east side of the mountain.
