"Might be, we'll see when re reach the surface," she said, "We need to pick up our pots as well."

"I wouldn't be surprised if someone is looking for us," she yawned, surfacing beside Goldenscale, "We left a little after noon, so it's been quite a while since we fell asleep."

"You know, you don't have to wait for me all the time. I can catch up just as easily," she said, pulling herself out of the water as it began to freeze on her wings and tail, "I'm not some elderly person who needs to bbe guided. The gesture is nice though."

"It's fine, I was just saying I wouldn't hold it against you to not wait on me," she said, shaking some of the ice off, "Now, shall we go get out pottery?"

"The dark spirits of the forest will be out soon. They're not mean, just dark natured," she said, starting after Goldenscale, "Most just don't know how to be friendly."

"Ya, it's not too good to talk about the dark spirits, that usually leads to them showing up unexpectadly," she said, seeming to have not heard Goldenscale talk  of nightmares, "We're almost home anyways, no need in inviting unexpected guests."

"No, it only means you get into a lot of fights. You stand up for what you believe in, and for those who can not, and that is something to be proud of. Being a good child isn't a matter of action, it is a matter of oppinion," she said, "With everything you've done for Mayumi, I would say you are a good chilid. Now, let's say for instance that Archen had living family, they would most likely say you were a bad child after figuring out what happened to him."

"It was a hypothetical, but your statement is true. I'm just saying the lines between good and bad are grey. What is good to one person may be bad to another, and that can be said about just about anything," she said, shaking the last bits of ice from her fur before entering the cave, "It is better to stick to you beliefs than to betray them for another view. Too many times I have seen people change the way they thing and get mad at themselves because they did something that was considered good at the time, but is now considered bad."
