Vivi landed lightly (no really... she'd been practicing), and she straightened out her puffy coat before hurrying after Emily and the other older Aurors. She didn't want to be last, since that was generally the one to get eaten by the chimaera in old stories, but she didn't want to be too chummy with Emily in front of Aspen. Aspen was not impressed by such things.

It would be easier if Legend was there, because no one objected with being chummy with HIM. Plus he was bigger than her and would be an excellent body to hide behind in a fire fight.

Speaking of which... Vivi watched as Simon fended off a spell, and some sort of man-in-black blew powder stuff at Kennedy and and and... "Um, Em? This forest has a ninja infestation. Permission to fumigate?"
