Tugging it loose from the branch, she can see the lantern looks a bit scuffed, a small tear in one of the paper materials is visible too, but she thinks that might still be something she could possible repair herself. Keeping ahold of the string, she takes care to climb down carefully from the tree, slowing down at parts that have a larger gap between them. At the last branch, she holds tighter on the trunk, lowering herself enough to the point she feels it is safe to jump down from it. “Look Solis!” She calls out happily, showing it to her companion as they turn their head in her direction for a moment to eye the object, wagging their tail but not moving away from their position as they start focusing back on what they were doing before. Seeing that reaction, she focuses on Solis point of view, seeing something move under one of the bushes, something white. Grinning she walks softly towards her back to put the paper lantern near it, and start helping for the next couple of hours in capturing some small creatures or finding different objects to take home with them. Getting out of the mansion before it gets too dark and the time of displacement in months is starting to happen.

Something lays tucked away in the corner of a room...

Coming here when apparently the seasonal change of the Mansion shifted it to a beach like structure that makes her wonder just how much sand is actually contained within this place as the sound of seagulls can be pretty annoying to hear up close. At least the weather feels pleasant on her skin while she carries her newest companion in her arms, a Siam Estharne who has snoozed quite a bit through the journey in getting to here. It was only about a quarter of the way to her destination that the kitten started waking up and looking curiously around herself. The collar around her neck, jingling as it announced Avani’s presence in her arms. Keeping a tight hold on the large cat, she can only scratch Avani’s side slightly as she needs both arms to keep holding onto the kitten while she looks for a good spot. It almost feels like there is a lot of junk around when she spots quite a bit of coral, shells and driftwood. Even a half-eaten fish gathering flies from what she can tell. Avani Lv 0.1, Ly 2.0 *1

Wrinkling her nose, she is quick to make her way further from the dead remains of a fish. The last thing she would want is Avani trying to eat something that is probably laden with worms. She might have Avani vaccinated a week ago before she even thought of bringing along the kitten, but that doesn’t mean she wants to test it on actually working. Prevention is still the best method of making sure no one gets sick. “Here is a good spot Avani.” She murmurs softly on top of the kitten’s head, a couple rotting planks are on the ground, but the surface is flat, and nothing seems to stick upwards. So the chance of wood splinters in her paws would be minimal. “Mrew?” Avani’s in toned with a curious lilt to it as she is placed on the ground, hind feet first before she is let go. The kitten sniffs at the wood with bit of curiosity at the smell, the end tip of her tail curling slightly.

“What do you think it smells like? Probably not of fish huh?” She says in a soft tone as she strokes Avari’s back while kneeling down and hearing her purr in contentment, while she is looking at the rotting wood. The shape kind of reminds her of a wooden ship. Now that she is looking closer at it, it has a slight bend to it, but with how much everything has rotten away, she still can’t really say just why it reminded her of it. “Lets check some of the sand over there Avani,” She says while pointing a small distance away, wondering if the kitten will follow after her. “Its not that far away from here.” She continues with saying as she stands up, taking a step in that direction. The little kitten looks up in puzzlement, ears perked as she watches her. It feels more like she is puzzled about the fact she isn’t being petted right now, than that she is walking away from her.

“Come Avari, let’s head this way.” She says while pointing to a part that has sand and a shallow pool in it. She isn’t certain if she would be able to see any fish swimming in it, but even if that might not be the case, she hopes there might be some shells in it. She’s heard in one of the popular cafe’s that she goes to for a drink and some light conversations with others who go there for the same, that a certain type of shell can be used in the wishing well. “Mrew!” Having taken even more steps away from the kitten, but tapping her tight to make enough noise to keep Avani’s attention, has the large kitten following after her when she realized the one petting her is walking away. Tail lashing out a few times, but with perked up ears that swish in the direction of bird noises when they caw loudly, she jumps after her.

Mewling in a way that makes it look as if she is panicked about being abandoned and not wanting to be alone while the bells on her collar jingle with the movement. It’s the type of sound that can either be seen as hilarious when a kitten trails after you, or heartbreaking if she was actually being abandoned. She stops with walking only when she finally reached the pool of water, and Avari is quick to use that chance to have her front feet placed against her tight while she continues with mewling. Huffing out, she grins when she strokes Avari’s head. It is only then that she actually stops mewling out in panic or rather urging her to give Avani some more attention as she starts purring in contentment now. It feels kind of odd that these cats are said to be very independent, yet with how she behaves, that is hardly something she’d suspect from her. At least while she is still a kitten that is. Anything can still happen while she is growing, but hopefully she will still want to be near her when she reaches adulthood.

Peering into the shallow pool, she can definitely see some plant matter drifting in it, tiny rocks, some shells, and a critter that is peeking out from under the plant matter. Its not enough that she can tell what exactly she is looking at. Too much of its body is hiding under the plant. “Okay Avani, wait just a moment.” She says while taking her hand away from the kitten’s head, gaining a protesting mewl straight away. ‘Such a demanding little feline that one.’ She muses while taking off her backpack and placing it on a dry spot farther away from the pool. The pawing of Avani is something she ignores in that moment, needing both hands to take out treat packets and place them in the pockets of her jeans, a plastic box she can fill with water if needed is placed near the bag. But most importantly, a fishing net. Grabbing it, she zips the compartments closed now that she is done with it.

Ruffling the fur on top of Avani’s head she walks back to the shallow pool, kneeling down at what is a dry spot with not a lot of small rocks jutting out. Wincing when she did feel something sharp digging in her leg, she lifts up slightly and uses her free hand to shift it away before kneeling again, this time more comfortable. “Look at that Avani, can you see that critter?” She exclaims pointing to a part of the plant matter where she sees something peek out again. “Mrew!” Avani didn’t want to pay much attention to the water it seems, not when she is headbutting her leg and rubbing her head against it, asking for more head scratches. Huffing, she allows it for a moment. Scratching her behind the ears as she watches the pool. It doesn’t look like there is only one thing in it, definitely more, but they all seem to be in hiding as only a head here and there peeks out. Checking to see if she is finally gone.

Lowering the net slowly in the water, she hopes it won’t startle anything to hide even further in the plant matter. Still, she shouldn’t forget what she actually came here for. Looking at the soil in the pool, she does see some shells, but can’t say for certain if that is what she is looking for. She hopes it is of course, but the chance it might be? Well.. She is often lucky at least. Pursing her lips together, she slowly drags the net through the water and soil. Avoiding the plant matter, though she must have scared at least some of them as they zip at a fast speed away from it and go under rocks or other plant growth that is still holding onto the soil. “Mrrrew?” Shifting her gaze towards Avani she sees the kitten watching the water now, still purring as she kept using her free hand to scratch her behind the ears.

It's probably when she saw the movement of the fishes or other critters heading to another spot, that gained her attention to what she is doing. Although, the water is starting to appear blurry with the sand being shifted thanks to what she is doing with the fishing net. “Let’s see what is in it, hmm Avani?” She slowly lifts the net, she can tell it is a lot heavier now, and has to use both hands to do the actual lifting. The rubbing of Avani’s head against her side is momentarily ignored as she carefully brings the net closer. Wrinkling her nose at the smell. It has a tang of seawater with seaweed in it, but she can’t really see what is in it, still too much sand. “Do you smell anything interesting from it?” She wonders while looking at Avani and seeing her perk up as the net is brought closer to her.

Whiskers moving forwards as she sniffs at it with interest, she sees Avani wrinkling her own nose, eyes narrowing, before she sneezes out. Taking the net away from Avani’s head, she lowers the net just enough in the shallow pool of water so that it is easier to handle it with one hand when most of its weight is on the soil there. “You okay Avani?” She murmurs after the kitten finished her sneezing fit. “Did it really smell that badly?” Honestly, its mostly sea water and seaweed that she is smelling. She doesn’t know yet if there is actually something in it that she couldn’t see yet, but Avani is certainly reacting to something. “That was quite a sneeze you did there little lady.” She chuckles as she sees Avani eye the net with narrowed eyes, nose still wrinkling slightly. Turning her attention back to the net, she starts moving it slowly, hoping to shift the sand out of it, and finally see if she actually got something by scraping the bottom of this pool.

As the net is half in the water, shifting the sand out of it is at least more doable than it would have been had she just tried to do something like this on the dry parts of the ground. It took a couple of minutes, but the only thing she had left in her net seems to be a couple of rocks. “Damn, seems that this time didn’t work.” She complains to Avani as she looks at the kitten when she comes closer, whiskers still very much trusted forwards as she sniffs the air. “Here, see? Nothing useful in it.” She says while bringing the net closer, allowing her to sniff at it, and see for herself that there are only a couple of rocks in it. Taking the rocks out one by one, she shows each one to Avani, watching her reaction as she mews in interest and sometimes sticks a paw out.
