Astria

Astria followed Flare and listened to the plan, she nodded her head, "Alright. Sounds simple enough." She cringed when the door creaked, she never like that sound, it was blood-curdling to her. She walked into the house slowly, unlike Flare who had run in, and stayed on the floor, again, unlike her partner. When the cup fell to the ground Astria instinctively hid behind a chair, it was pretty dark, so the human hopefully would not notice her. "So much for being quiet..." she muttered. Astria looked at the corridor, a human was coming down the stairs, and quickly at that. She backed up to be safe, the old man had seen Flare and he had already gone for the broom, for an old man he was pretty smart and fast, he certainly didn't want to waste time. Now was her chance. The man was distracted, so Astria quickly jumped up onto the table and made a bee line for the walky-talkys.

She stopped a few feet from them when the man saw her and he started to come at her with the broom. Astria was about to jump away but she saw a little grey blur jump onto a desk and onto the man's head. It was Kaya! She looked at Kaya and smiled, "I couldn't have asked for better timing! Thanks!" Astria turned back to the task at hand, she nudged the walky-talkys to the edge of the table and jumped down to the ground, taking a ruffle of papers with her. She placed the papers underneath the walky-talkys. She then jumped back onto the table and pushed the walky-talkys off the table and they landed onto the paper perfectly. She saw Flare coming back into the house and jumped down the meet her. "Uh huh." was all Astria said, and she moved to the side to show Flare the walky-talkys, "We needed these right? So let's go before Kaya loses her grip. She grabbed one walky-talky in her mouth - two were too big to carry in her small mouth - and motioned Flare to pick up the other one. She ran through the man's legs and waited outside of the house for Flare.
