[FIELD TRIP] CAMPING TRIP | THE END ON PAGE 7!

[Anderleit]

Davi blinked at Shun, both brows arched. Defend it from what? would have been the wolf's next response - except that the crashing, rumbling cacophony caused by the bus as it launched into their midst answered that question better than the reaper could've. What kind of barrier protected them from wind and rain, but not towering buses? On that note, what else couldn't it protect them from? "Maybe you have a point," she admitted grudgingly, before the bus decided to show her up, part two, and start chattering away.

Even faced with this new, threatening prospect, Davi's face fell as the bus explained itself. Home? Tendrils of orange mist - what was it with these people and orange, anyway - obscured her disappointment. Home, and she hadn't so much as made it into the trees. No grass, no shadows beneath canopies, no leaving joyous clawmarks in bark...nothing at all. Her ears drooped, stepping heavily onto the beckoning vehicle - the banner of her tail hung like a drawn flag. How had time marched by so quickly?

Stupid rangers. It was their fault, making something large and furious so angry at them. Ruining it for everyone. The ghoul glared balefully at them on her way to her seat.

Sure, it was a silly thing to be so upset about. Sure, it was only a field trip: only a tent and a bunch of scarelings out in the wild. It would happen again. It was no big deal. But the woods, thought the morose wolf, were a big deal. Camping was woods. Woods were home. And now, claws picking gently at the seat in front of her, she was more homesick than ever.

Efflo wrinkled his nose at Sibyl, fumbling with the tent. It was half up now anyway.

“It’ll be fine, Sibyl,” he assured her, “What would I do with it anyway? It’s not like I need a memento or anything, I have you for that.”

He grinned a little at her, cheekily, but it dropped when he saw her expression at the screams. His gaze wandered to Edel, who seemed to be leaning towards going to help, which Efflo was about to strongly dissuade against, but it would seem the boil she asked had a suitable answer ready.

Relaxing a little bit, he turned his attention back to the tent, until the sound of something crashing through the woods had him jumping nearly straight up in the air. He whirled around with a snort, nostrils flared, to see a bus, of all things. And it was a speaking bus, no less. Efflo glared at it, but it seemed like it wanted to take them home…

He turned to Sibyl, and the rest of his group.

“Well, I guess that is that, right?”

Edel was on her way back to her group, having concurred with the reaper's opinion on the situation, though she could not help but panic a little as each time she saw another student leave the camp site. She had lost track of how many of them had wandered off by now and was getting increasingly paranoid by the idea that some of them could go missing permanently.

The noise that came crashing through the woods had the ghoul on high alert; in her hand she had formed multiple ice daggers ready to be hurled at the assailants - until she realised that it was the bus that was coming for them. Before she could register that it was here to pick them up, she had been most unceremoniously swallowed up by the bus, which proceeded to collect the rest of the wandering students on the way.

It took a few minutes for it to register that the camp had been unfortunately cut short due to unforeseen circumstances - what exactly they were she did not really want to know as the bus passed by the scene of a certain naked Professor Malcolm who had clearly been in a scuffle with a few bears. Perhaps they themselves were about to learn about the force of the wild, had the camp continued on its original course. Any disappointment the ghoul had towards the shortened camping trip had faded away by then.

Nodding silently at Efflo, the ghoul sat in silence for the rest of the ride back to school, watching the scenery pass by from the window, a little too tired to keep up any conservation. While this hadn't been much of a bonding experience, she would see them around in school now and then wouldn't she?
