[Symph]
Symph raised a brow as he watched the events unfold, he was distinctly amused by the hypocritical actions that the nomad was now taking and continued to observe her and her cage with a hint of satisfaction lying within the back of his mind - he loved it when he was right. Nevertheless, he remained unaware of the Vixies above his head and was more content to relax at this precise moment in time than go barreling after the cute creatures, that and he didn't seem to be having as much bad luck in the tree so he was going to remain up here for as long as he possibly could.
Giving a sigh he leant back on the trunk a little more and pursed his lips, his brow remaining raised as he waited for a moment when he could otherwise point out the Nomad's fault, she really did think she was supreme over all didn't she? Ordering people not to catch and cage the creatures and then attempting to do that very same thing herself - as far as he could note he hadn't even looked at his cage so how dare she accuse him of that!

-Setara-
Of the ones perched on and around her book, a few of the less attached ones had managed to bound away. However, after stuffing the book in the cage, 3 very angry vixies let out loud sounds of protest and began humming wildly around the cage, trying to find a way out.
-Symph-
The little vixies chattered among themselves above his head, as if trying to figure out what to do with the unsuspecting Lyonell. then seemingly deciding how they wanted to torture him, one zoomed down right into his face while the other zoomed behind him, and quickly spun a vine around the tail and the branch.
-Alphonse-
Rather shocked and disgusted by his brother's antic of rubbing the vixie all over himself, alphonse just declined it and stuffed it back into the cage. He was still comepletely grossed out at the thought of the squished vixie.
"w... wait up!" and he followed after his brother

"Eeeeh!" Symph yelped as the Vixie appeared right in front of his face, his eyes widened in surprise and he mentally thanked himself for having made himself suitably comfortable upon the branch previously - it meant he wouldn't fall off just yet. Nevertheless, he pursed his lips after a few moments and flicked his gaze downwards in reply to the pressure applied to his tail only to realise...
"Oh by the gods no." He groaned, raising his eyes heavenwards as he fixed his gaze upon the Vixie in front of him again, "What'd I ever do to you?" He enquired, his tone sulky and less than impressed by the stunt the Vixie had pulled on him, "I haven't even tried to capture you and you're still picking on me." He raised his hands briefly and then flopped them down on his lap again.
"Of course as of late my luck has been atrocious so you know..." He trailed away for a few moments in then released a sigh, "Alright fine, you win - I always lose anyway." He muttered grumpily as though the Vixie could actually understand what he was saying.

[Setara]
She let out a petrified squeak & fell backwards. Setara reached forward to open the cage. They were humming rather angrily & she didn't like it at all. But what would happen if prehaps she let them out??? Would they eat her? Would they harm her? She wast sure, but she was half torn on the sitauation. The thought occured that maybe it would be nicer if she was torn to bits by vixies than have to go ahead with her orders. She decided & reached forward.

-evil vixies-
The two vixies seemed to just hover while Symph talked to them. Almost as if the lack of reaction made them bored, the two vixies chattered for a second, then zoomed back up into the tree.
*Crack!*
The branch he was sitting on slipped downward about a handspan...
*Crack!!!*
And down went the branch and lyonell.

She unlatched the metal cage & let the door ease open.
"Out you come! Your not supposed to be in there!" She muttered, shuffling to one side so that they had a clear path, getting a grass stain in the seat of her train in the process.
"Look, i'd just rather you let me keep my book...alright?" She added with a sigh. She wasn't sure if they understood her, but she was sure that they'd get fed up of her book & leave it in the cage.

[Symph]
The Lyonell released a shriek of both surprise and outrage as he fell from the tree, landing with a muffled thump against the grass where he lay until the branch smacked right up against his head. He remained motionless with his forehead against the ground and eyes closed as he fought valiantly to contain both his anger and to regain his composure - he knew that was going to happen, ever since he'd joined the church his life had never been simple.
"Satisfied now?" He enquired meekly as he turned round ever so slightly to reach for the vines wrapped around his tail, wincing at the mild concussion he appeared to be suffering from and from the obvious headache he was beginning to develop he couldn't help but look a little worse for wear - first the equidnyes and now Vixies...animals hated him.

The nomad looked over, jumping almost out of her skin as the branch hit the ground. The lyonel was face down on the floor. She got, up, ignoring the cage & walked over.
"Now.....I hate to say this, but I apologise for ordering you about. It was not my place....are...are you alright?" She asked, keeping far enough away from him, expecting him very much to snap at her. She always felt awful when people got hurt. She also despaired of this little habit.

"Do I look alright?" Symph replied somewhat harshly towards the girl as he withdrew his dagger and cut the vines away from his tail, squinting slightly at his blurred vision before placing the dagger into his sleeve once more and bowing his head. Mentally he cursed at the throbbing pain and after a few moments he simply turned his gaze towards his now abandonned packs and rose to his feet.
He swayed unsteadily for a few moments before taking a few wobbly steps towards his pack and the supplies he had been given by the bar tender for the hunt, granted he wasn't interested in the bartender's supplies but he did want his bag back, it had his only possessions in it anyway.
"If you want a blood y net you can have mine." He cursed as he flopped down by the edge of the lake again to avoid falling again, "Urgh..." He mumbled to himself and set his pack between his legs, why did he have such bad luck nowadays anyway?

"I know you dont look alright...it was a stupid question that I often ask without thinking. Yes I know your probably going to scold me about not thinking....I was just wondering if you wanted any help......Just letting you know that I have a few medical things in my bag that you could use if you need them...alright?" Setara asked quietly.
"And, no thank you. You can keep your net. I dont think I could aim it even if I wanted to...." She replied simply.

The Lyonell paused for a while and closed his eyes as his head pointed and mind reeled, all things to be considered she did sound genuine and he had no reason to snap at her but due to his mood he was finding it impeccably difficult not to, bloody animals, nothing had ever harmed him when he was at home and now they couldn't stand him!
"You take the corner of the net, you swing it above your head and release it about three quarters of the way through the spin." He took a breath and opened his eyes to stare at his reflection in the lake, by the gods he almost looked drunk!
"Upon release the net will spread out and land upon your target using the weights on the four corners to drag your proposed victim down - 'tis really not that difficult." He finished, swallowed lightly and closed his eyes again as his shoulders slumped.

Edward
He had stopped a few paces back after seeing this girl show up. Though the Lyonell taking a pretty good fall almost made him rush over, if it hadn't been for the two bickering.
"Pssst, Al. What should we do? It looks like he has some help...his girl friend there looks like she could handle those vixies more than he could. Should we leave?" He whispered. Edward totally clueless to the fact those in the church didn't date, let alone that not all couples bicker.

[Setara]
Setara sits a short distance away & lets out a sigh.
"I know it seems simple....but..I find alot of things difficult....its embarassing considering I'm supposed to be someone who hunts things." She replied, her tone almost inauduble.
"Its useful that you've told me though. I might be able to use such a thing in defense." She said & realised that she was rambling & instantly silenced herself, looking back at the cage. She looked back to Symph, but remained quiet. Waiting for the Lyonell to regain his composure & for him to ask if he needed anything. She mulled over her own dillema silently, looking back at the cage. Were the Vixies gone yet?

"Alright fine, I'll do it." Symph muttered, rising unsteadily to his feet as he grasp the net from the tavern keeper's supplies and wobbled over to the Nomad. His eyes were somewhat glazed over but if he squinted he could make out the shapes of the vixie - after a brief pause however and a deep breath he gave a nod and flashed a smirk.
"Call it revenge." He cooed in a somewhat dazed fashion as he took the corner of the net and swung it over his head, releasing it three quarters of the way through the swing so that it sailed towards the direction of the Vixie and spread outwards in a large square of criss-crossed thread. Granted if he at least managed to knock one of them out with the weights on each corner then he would be delighted however for now he simply sank to his knees again and released another grown.
...His head was hurting so bad right now...

The nomad had seen others in the tribe hunt in such a manner before. But she'd never once wanted to try it herself. If the Lyonell could aim well enough when concussed, how would he do when fully aware & awake? She turned her head to him as he sank.
"I have a salve that might soothe your headache." She said, looking to her knapsack & rummaging through it carefully gievn that her twin short swords were stored inside. She produced a small vial of pale orange & held it out to Symph.
"Its not poison...afore you ask." She said quietly. She had been accused of that sort of thing many times before & had been innocent each time.
