Of Rose's Waiting, Taran ready to rescue, & Se'rox far off
Rose: waiting to go
Rose let her anger seep from herself, as a calmness came over her. Too many people had been hurt recently, and she promised herself that this would not go unpunished. And Taran's not going to get away with running off like that! Rose thought. Running off... with my ship. Right. It's not that I'm mad he didn't trust me... Rose's thoughts wandered off, since she knew that lying to herself was useless.
"All right. Whenever you are ready." She told Dragon, who seemed to be having a problem getting things in order.
A tinkling noise made her turn around.
"Hey! Rose!"* The twinkling ball of light said as it came toward Rose. When she thought about it, the little ball of light pixie had been saying that for a few minutes now, trying to get her attention.
"Yes, yes. What?" Rose asked, somewhat exhasperated.
"My name is Nari." the pixie started. "I am to be your guide!"
Rose groaned, and covered her face with one hand.
"Hey! Listen!" Nari said. Not getting any response that Rose had heard her, she repeated herself. "Hey! Listen!"
This is going to be a looong day. Rose thought as Nari continued to be talkative and annoyingly repetitive.

Taran and a rescue
Taran left the cockpit and started running toward where he had just seen n** on the display. She seemed to have been cleaning up after herself. That was about as in control of oneself as he needed her to be.
"n**!" he called out to her, as he ran to the bay. Pushing a few buttons, the hatch opened. "We can do that later! For now, we need to help those inside."
He didn't wait for her. He knew there was more they needed to discuss, but lives were in the balance at the moment.
In his hurry, he almost ran over a most interesting creature as he ran out of the ship. It simply looked up at him, and said, "Puuu!"

Se'rox and being far off
Se'rox smiled, as Zuchax III told her how safe she'd be. Her smile brightened more, and she almost laughed, as he told her how remote and distant this planet was, as if that were a bad thing. Then he made it snow with the water from the mud on himself.
Climbing out of the mud pit, right next to Zuchax III, Se'rox pulled the mud off of herself, and dumped it back into the mud pit. Knowing that although Zuchax III had managed to clear the water from the mud off of himself, he would still be covered in dry earth, Se'rox combined the water in the remaining mud with the earth all over Zuchax III. She then pulled it all off of him, depositing it in the mud pit as thicker mud. Her feet and calves were still in the mud, as were his legs up to his knees almost. But they looked like they had only sat down to dip their legs in, rather than having had a mudfight.
"Snow." she said, having done all the previous in a mere two seconds. "I love snow."
Se'rox reached up to the sky, like she was reaching for the falling flakes, her arms stretching above her. As she widened her reach, she found Zuchax's arm... and held on to it as the snow fell upon them.

*Note about Pixie language. Only people already knowing pixie language, or anyone who is part fairy can understand the tinkling sound they make and know they are speaking. to everyone else, it sounds like tinkles, like tiny bells. And in this case, annoyingly repetitive tinkles.
