Alice snapped back to reality, eyes flying open. "Are you okay? Did I-?" she gasped, a bit short of breath.
Demi found some badger tracks a bit later, and disappeared into trees. A few minutes afterward, she rejoined Ravyre, scowling. "Forest creatures don't quench your thirst as much as... some other bloods," she muttered.

Joren shook his head, recovering. "Yes to the first, no to whatever you were about to say," he muttered, forcing himself to his feet and pacing to distract himself from the pain, which was slowly fading away. After a few minutes, he stretched his good arm, and noticed that the rain was starting to thin out to a light drizzle.
Ravyre nodded. "Yeah...but we have to make due with where we are." She turned to head back to the clearing, glancing back to make sure Demi was following.

Alice's eyes followed him, still full of concern, as he paced. She sat where she was, chewing on her lower lip. With a slight smile, she realized the sweet taste on her lips was... him.
Demi sighed sulkily, and followed after Ravyre.

Joren continued to pace, feeling a new spark of energy course through his body. He felt like he could take on anything...do anything he wanted to. He could face anyone now. He wasn't afraid of Jane and her band, or Rayne, or- "Ravyre?!" There went his confidence. The male vampire watched as his sister finally arrived back at the gathering spot, her eyes still guarded, but focused on him.

Alice was on her feet an to his side in an instant, following his gave to Ravyre. The smile was gone, to be replaced once more with concern and unease.

"Hey," Ravyre murmured, crossing her arms. Silence. Joren fidgeted nervously. More silence. "Ravyre, I'm so sorry-" Ravyre shook her head, stepping forward to return the hug that he'd greeted her with before. Joren relaxed slightly.

Alice moved back a bit to give them space, glancing around. Demi had just reappeared as well, and was standing a few yards away, still in the shadows of the trees.

Ravyre pulled away. "We'll talk later." Before Joren could say anything in reply, she turned to Alice. "I'm sorry...I didn't really give myself a proper chance to introduce myself. Can we start over?"

Alice smiled, and nodded. "Sure." Sticking out her good hand to shake, she added, "Hi! I'm Alice."

"Nice to meet you," Ravyre replied with a small grin. "I'm Ravyre." Joren breathed out a soft sigh of relief.

Alice grinned. "I know," she replied, tapping the side of her head with one finger. "Psychic, and all."

"Yeah," Ravyre laughed, drawing her hand away. "But it still feels right to say it, regardless if the person already knows."

Alice let her hand fall back to her side, and shrugged, still smiling. "I suppose."

Just then, Feren, Leon, and Maven returned. Leon tossed a rabbit at Joren, and then another at Alice. Feren looked at Ravyre, concerned. He was happy to see that she had calmed down a bit, and that Demi was back with her. "Did you two find something to eat?"

Demi nodded, and was about to reply, but Eden and Nell showed up at the moment, both pairs of eyes bright red, showing that they had had a successful hunt as well. Alice snatched the rabbit out of the air, and gave Leon a grateful smile before beginning her meal.
