With an Elephant in the Room (Greyz)

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

She chuckled, "I am /not/ a whale. Just a hungry girl." She smirked.

---

Laeric grinned at her, his perfect white teeth flashing in the light. "Of course," he said. "A very hungry girl."

[Grayzers]

"Oh shut up." She chuckled. "So what else do you want to do tonight? You know since you don't eat. Or can't eat human food or whatever..."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Well..." Laeric said with a smile. "I could show you the forest."

[Grayzers]

She blinked, "you mean... your forest?" She grinned. "Cause I've seen ours. Its pretty, but there's trash everywhere. I would, definitely, love to see yours though." She said.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Laeric nodded. "You'd love our forest," he said. "There's no trash anywhere." He made a face when he said 'trash.'

[Grayzers]

"Then what are we waiting for?" She laughed, hopping off her seat and taking a few steps before she smiled back at him.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Laeric followed her, a pleasant smile on his face. If only she knew there was nothing truly pleasant about him. Taking her to the faerie realm; that was the first step into her staying there forever.

[Grayzers]

She skipped along before pausing. She laughed, "I should probably let YOU lead the way. I have no idea where we're going." She said, looking at him.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Laeric shrugged. "There are a dozen entrances to the faerie realm. Most of them in parks or out in the woods," he said. "Somewhere with nature."

[Grayzers]

She nodded, walking next to him. "Well, you lead the way." She chuckled.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Laeric walked to the nearest park and looked around. There weren't that many people, but there were some, and he didn't want to be seen disappearing through a portal. Someone might be stupid enough to try and follow.

[Grayzers]

Cara watched him, eyes big and curious. She wondered what his forest would be like. If it was a magical as him?

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

When he was content that no one nearby was looking in their direction, Laeric stepped up to the portal. It was just a shimmering area in the air, hardly noticeable, but the faerie could feel the magic of it. He gestured Cara forward. "Ladies first."

[Grayzers]

With wide eyes, she pursed her lips. "Okay..." she murmured, taking a breath before she walked through it, body tensing slightly.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Laeric stepped through the portal after her and appeared behind Cara on the other side. They stood in the middle of a large field, the grass a vibrant green that couldn't be found in the normal realm. The trees in the distance were dark and mysterious. The sky was a burnt orange, like a perpetual sunset, though there was no sun in sight.

[Grayzers]

"Wow..." she breathed, looking at all of it. "Its so beautiful..."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"And dangerous," Laeric cautioned her. "Don't ever forget that."

[Grayzers]

"Dangerous? How?" She asked, her hand instinctively going to her sword hilt. She looked at him, frowning slightly.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Laeric shrugged. "You never know what might be hiding in those trees. It's the faerie realm. There are strange creatures here." He winked at her. "But don't worry; I'll protect you."

[Grayzers]

She smiled, blushing slightly. "Alright. Well, give me the tour protector!" She laughed.
