Anna had lowered her gaze once she realized what Ashton was doing. She let herself look the part of a scared prisoner as she took a single, reluctant step closer to the guard but didn't meet his gaze. She listened carefully so she would hear the spell, knowing they would need that information later.The gaurd heard footsteps, so he turned to look down the hallway. That's when he saw Ashton and the others. He returned his gaze to Azure and asked, "How is Vaughan? "
Ashton sighed and said "scrapped and bruised, but he's on the mend." Ashton thought of an idea that maybe no one would get hurt. "I have to do some X-rays on these two. So I need their collars off. Because they interfere with the X-ray machine." She explained.
The gaurd looked at her slightly suspicious. "Did Markus authorized this?" He asked her.
"No, Fetch, I just take random shifters and X-ray them. What do you think?! Look, don't do it! That's fine with me. You know I've been working for twelve hours strat, already. First it was that gunshot, then the mermaid mess and now this. I just need some rest, but I have to do this! So why don't you go and bother Markus. That way you can verify his orders. You know how he loves that. I'm sure he'll be understanding. " She sarcastically. But inside she was a ball of raw nerves. She held her bag tightly in one hand and her other shoved deeply in her pocket. To keep their shaking under control.
Fetch looked at her hard a few moments, before he said, "That won't be necessary. I'll just take them off. Which one do you need first? "
Ashton looked over at them and asked, "Any volunteers? "
~~~
Arran smiled happily at that. "Oh, thank goodness. Those jackals eat people. I've never seen a wolf shifter." She said softly.
Nektar tipped his head as he listened intently.
~~~
Graydon chuckled. "Now that makes no sense. How can something invisible be bad?" He asked naively.
~~~
Zypher quickly followed. Watching for any gaurds that may see them.

Sergio stared at Jackie as she drove. "This is a car? Is it alive? " She whispered softly.
~~~
Falkirk smiled pleasantly and offered his elbow for her to take it. "Shall we, then?" He asked formally.
~~~
Ericsson brightened and said, "No thanks required. The time we spent together was wonderful. Thank you for indulging me. I'm glad I still have some cooking skills after years of non-use."
~~~
Ember blinked and looked at Arran then shook her head "That is sad, but understandable. No one likes to be cooped up where they cannot see the sun, and herd animals are not meant to be alone, that can mess up their minds, especially if done from an early age."
Angela shivered a little and glanced to Arran then back to Nektar. Even the short time she had been alone in her room, before the doves and Arran had been hard for her. She couldn't imagine only having a brother for a long time like they seemed to be talking about

Ember slowed to a stop and motioned to the hallway they jut reached "This is the last place I saw her at" She said then reached up to tug at the collar she wore before dropping her hand to her side.

Kyra blinked then frowned,thinking of how to explain that. "Well, it's like my power. You cannot see the energy, but if I concentrate enough, I can kill with it. The wind can be the same. It can gather up in a swirling clout and tear a forest apart in seconds. I have seen a wrong gust of wind make birds fall from the sky before too" She said quietly.
~~~
Jackie chuckled and shook her head a little "No, it's not alive. It's a machine. We give it gas and keep the parts working right, and it gets us where we need to go, especially if it's too far to walk or you have to carry something heavy."
~~~
Star smiled at him and placed her hand around his arm to go with him. "We shall" She said playfully
~~~
"What is that saying? It's like riding a bike" Rosie said and chuckled then shook her head "That's one I don't understand, riding a bike is hard"
