Unarelle hadn't felt quite right about Dex since meeting him. Yoranda had tried to convince her that it was fine, that he was just Cherono's boyfriend who was kinda sketchy looking but Cherono was happy. Unarelle wasn't having it, though. Her first reaction when Yoranda told her what was going on was to insist that Dex was responsible, but Yoranda was quick to brush that off. "Look, I'm gonna go help look for him. You stay here with Bir, since I know you don't wanna go out alone, okay?" she told her twin, kissing Unarelle's cheek before heading back downstairs. She gave a shake of her head. "Una hasn't heard from him," she said, figuring it best not to mention what Unarelle had insisted. "We can head to Luther's house and see if Barynn's there. She doesn't have a place of her own - usually sleeps in the shop or at Luther's place. She may know where he is, and if not we go get Istrain," she said, going to grab her jacket.

Dex nodded along with Luther and the three headed over to the tavern. Luther didn't bother with knocking and walked in. Dex looked at Istrain before shrugging and walked in after him. "Birger get down here!" He yelled. Birger groaned and looked over the girls who were snuggled up to him. He shot out of bed and got dressed so that Luther didn't come up here. Birger jumped into some pants and didn't even bother with a shirt before running down. "Hey.. hey guys... what's up?" He asked almost out of breath. Dex and Luther just stared at him. "Heard anything about Cherono or my pregnant girlfriend?" He asked. Birger shook his head no, "The guys and lassies didn't see a thing." He said softly.

Istrain was rather amused by the look Dex gave him when Luther just walked right into the tavern. He raised an eyebrow slightly when Birger came rushing downstairs; he looked like he'd dressed rather hastily. He folded his arms over his chest slightly. "Two of my siblings are missing and you and Yora are fucking? At least tell me you haven't misplaced Una," he said. There was a slight teasing tone to his voice, since Birger was his friend and he knew fully well that Birger wouldn't let anything happen to Unarelle, though he did have to wonder what the hell she did when he and Yoranda were going at it. "And do you have any ideas where we could look? They haven't left the island, according to the dragon people, so they've got to be up here somewhere and I intend to find them if I have to tear apart every building board by board."

Birger gave a done face to Istrain, "No... I was not fucking Yora and I turned the storage room into her bedroom... which was actually just a bedroom before I stored my shit in there. So.. and I rushed because... well I had just woken up. Anyway..." He said and shook his head. "There is the forbidden island but it is going to take a while to look through that damn thing. It isn't like the city or the lake island. This is while jungle wooded area. It can be dangerous so... I would say we can bring Ros but she is pregnant and her husband won't allow it. So next best thing is we g-" He was interrupted by Haera barging in. "What the fuck is this about you assholes losing people? Swear to god... I leave for what a few weeks and you boys can't hold the damn fort down? What the fuck is Dex doing here?" She asked. Dex waved and smiled a bit, "Dating Cherono." He said and she glared. "Weird ass couple." She said and he pointed to Istrain, "Says the dwarf hater." He replied. Haera huffed because he was right.

"Okay since she is here... we can go look on that island but we need supplies and shit. I will have to bring the girls to James." He said.

Istrain whipped around in surprise when Haera came barging in. He raised an eyebrow when Haera questioned what Dex was doing here, wondering what that was all about. "Good to see you, babe. Barynn and Cherono could probably use your help right about now," he said to Haera, giving her a quick nod; now wasn't really the time to go kiss her and tell her how much he'd missed her, not with Cherono and Barynn missing. He was kind of glad that she'd somehow heard about this on her own, since that saved them the time of telling her what had happened. He looked over at Birger when he said that he'd have to take the girls to James and he nodded. "Sounds like a plan," he said. "What kind of supplies do we need? We can get started on that while you take the girls to James. Oh, and Una may have a few things that'll be useful - you know, first aid stuff and whatnot - so see if she's got anything to send with us before we go," he said.

Haera smiled at Istrain, "You too, babe." He said and looked over at the men. Birger nodded and got to listing. "We are going to be out there for a majority of the day. We want to cover as much ground as we can and mark it on the map that Haera has at home." He said and Haera nodded. "We are going to need water, lots of it, protein bars, which I have in the back. You three get dressed in better clothing than that. Bring weapons if you have any because we most likely are going to be fighting some fucking creature. Now go and we will meet up at the bridge that connects the city and lake island." He said before going back up stairs.

Dex looked at everyone and said that he was going to go change and that he had some stuff he could bring. He went to his house and walked into each room telling them to be good while he goes look with their family and friends. Then he changed and grabbed his shit and waited by the bridge.

Istrain nodded as he listened to the instructions. Once Birger left, he took Haera by the hand and started to walk back to her place with her, since her map and his change of clothes and weapons were all there. "I'm so fucking worried, babe," he said as they walked. "Like...if it was just Cherono I wouldn't be too concerned because he goes off the grid all the time, but Barynn's fucking pregnant and I can't just see her running off somewhere without telling someone," he continued. It was obvious that this was really getting to him. "Which means someone's got them, and I don't even know if they're still alive or why the hell someone would take them..."

Asham walked into the tavern and saw Birger, "I need to speak to Yora." He said. It was a bit before the young dwarf had to come in and sing. Birger nodded and walked up to his place, "Yora... you are needed downstairs." He said before walking back down. Asham did what he was told and told Birger all that happened. Birger looked shocked and pissed. He had no idea Dex would be the one who had them this whole time. "The fucker was right under our noses." He growled.

Yoranda was only half-dressed when Birger came to get her. Unarelle had left already to go spend time with Lorelei, and Yoranda was just...trying to make everything as normal as it could be, despite what had been going on over the last week. When Birger came up and told her that she was needed she nodded, hurrying up to finish getting dressed and throwing on a little shrug before heading downstairs. She raised an eyebrow when she saw the man talking to Birger. "Do I know you?" she asked, a bit confused.

Asham blinked and looked the tiny girl, "Uhh no.. but I work for James and Luther asked me to come and get you. They found Barynn and Cherono. Barynn is a bit... uhhmm beat up, but she seems to be doing fine, same as the baby. Luther said to bring those nice socks that Barynn gets you for Easter. I am not sure all the details of everything that happened but I am sure Luther will fill you in." He said softly.

Yoranda blinked slightly when the man answered her, and she breathed a sigh of relief when he said that Barynn and Cherono were okay, along with the baby. "Oh, thank goodness," she said softly. She hurried upstairs, rummaging around in her bags until she found a thick pair of woolen socks with fleece on the insides. She headed back downstairs with them in hand. "Where is she, is she at Luther's house? Or with Lor?" she asked, figuring that the instructions about the socks had come from Unarelle.

By the time she was done it was lunch and she had looked at the kitchen downstairs and huffed before going up and finding something to eat since she had restocked the place. She wanted to go get Birger but she knew he was unavailable. He needed some time to find himself again. The look on his face when he snapped back to it killed her. he knew he had fucked up and was going to pay for it some way or another. He was alone just like she was and she missed her best friend.

Eventually, Istrain got out of bed. He still had no idea where Haera was and he was starting to worry. He showered and got changed before leaving the house, leaving the roses and the picnic stuff as they were. He figured the tavern was the best place to start, so he headed over there. He'd gone in plenty of times when it wasn't open yet, so he headed inside and went upstairs, knocking on the door. "Hey, Bir? It's Istrain," he called, and then he paused. "It's safe to come out. I'm not gonna kick your ass over the Yora thing. We're good. I just need to find Haera."

Haera was halfway done with her food when she heard Istrain. "Bir... isn't here..." She said and was happy she locked the front door. "Please... please... leave." She said softly and as she walked to the front door and placed her hands on it, leaning her forehead on the cold wooden door. It was breaking her heart, "I... I can't see you anymore." She said softly, fighting through the tears. All she wanted was Istrain.

Istrain blinked when he heard Haera response that Birger wasn't here. So Haera was here. He frowned a bit when she told him to leave, and when she said she couldn't see him any more, his hazel eyes widened. "Babe, what are you talking about?" he asked. He tried the door handle but it was locked. "Haera, open the door. I - I don't know what's wrong, but let's talk about this, please," he said. His heart was racing. Just a month ago, before he'd left, Haera had kissed him so sweetly and made him promise to come back to her. Why would she say she can't see him any more.

Haera was trying not to cry so loudly, she didn't want him to hear her. "I... I wasn't okay at all, Istrain..." She said, her voice breaking. "I didn't want to sleep with you... I begged you not to. I know how Yora feels, does that make you happy now? Will you do that every time you feel like you need to..." She felt nauseous and backed away. The stress was getting to her, "I don't trust you anymore, Istrain... please... leave." She begged him softly as a new wave of tears came over her.

Istrain could hear the way her voice was breaking, and he felt his heart doing the same as he heard her words. He closed his eyes and rested his forehead against the door for a moment, trying to figure out how to respond to this. "Haera..." he said after a moment, speaking softly, but still loudly enough for her to hear him through the door. "Can I come in? Can...can we talk? Please?" he asked. He hadn't realized that she wasn't okay. At the end, she had told him everything was okay and that they were good and that she just wanted him to come back safely. He wouldn't have left if he'd realized she wasn't okay. He'd have stayed and fixed this.

"N-No... you can't come in... just go... please.. please don't make this any harder." She cried not being able to control it any longer. She did want to open the door and cling to him. She did want to talk to him about it, but she was alone and she didn't trust him being alone with him. Haera could have kicked his ass if she wasn't in love with him. Her feelings were making her weak and that pissed her off.

Istrain heard her crying on the other side and he winced. He couldn't believe this was happening. He didn't want to just leave. "Haera... I'm sorry. Babe, you know I'm so, so, so sorry. I regret what I did. You need to know I will never, ever do something like that to you again. I've regretted it every day I was gone. I should have handled the situation better. You mean everything to me, babe. I love you so much. I never knew I could feel this way about someone. I don't want to lose you. I know I fucked up...and if you'll just please, please open the door, I promise I'll spend every day for the rest of my life trying to make it right."

Haera went to grab for the knob and stopped, "I can't..." She said and walked away from the door and up into the bathroom. She turned on the water and leaned against the door and covering up her ears so that she didn't have to listen to what he had to say. She couldn't deal with this. She needed Birger.

Istrain heard her walk away, and then he heard the water running. He sighed. He knew exactly what she was doing, trying to drown him out. "I'll... I'll give you some time," he shouted, hoping she'd hear him. He turned and left quietly, not really sure what to do or where to go now. He didn't want to go back to her house, not if they were on a break like this - maybe when she went home she'd find the flowers and the note and she'd want to fix things. He left the tavern, rubbing his temples a bit. This was all a mess and a half.
