Ignoring Dri's mention about her screaming, she grabbed her little friend and held him in front of Dri.

"Ah, yes. I was just remembering the time.. Uh.. This little guy and I met." 

The chinchilla looked at Dri and was surprisingly calm and not frightened whatsoever. He hopped out of Lumi's hands and greeted Dri with a hello. 

Lumi looked at the little guy and back at Dri.

"Isn't he cute?"
Lea
Aladri offered the chinchilla all sorts of air kisses and chose to scratch the wee creature in all the right places. All the while asking her friend the question. "What'd you name your new companion?" Her voice was as light as a dove feather caught in the wind. 

Admittedly, she wasn't the most attune to the fauna of the forest. Aladri was a farmer, and her specialty rested with the flora of the forest—specifically mushrooms. It wasn't uncommon for a conversation to broach upon the subject because if it wasn't that, it was a party of some sort. And *Everyone* Knew what a party at Aladri Qirran's house meant . . . You guessed it. Mushrooms.
Lois
Lumi knew this question was bound to pop up. She didn't want to tell Dri his name was Chinny because she didn't like that name at all. She quickly went through a bunch of names in her head in hopes a good one would pop up. 

*Chilla. Chin. Chilly. Fluffy. Ashes. Acorn. Fluffball.. Charlie.. Buttons.. AHH NO! Wait.. Sunnie! Yes!*

She quickly blurted out the name Sunnie.

"His name is Sunnie!" 

Lumi liked anything that had to deal with light and rays of sunshine so Sunnie was the perfect name for her little companion.
Lea
Aladri narrowed her eyes if examining a criminal and paused that way for a moment before leaning in to the chinchilla. Without taking her eyes off the fairy, she asked the animal a question in a serious tone. "What did she really want to name you?" The seriousness of the question had been slightly debunked by the tips of her lips which were starting to rise.

"Chinny, huh? I thought so." The elf only raised a flat palm outstretched towards 'Sunnie' as if to show the jury a testimony proving her case. Raising a brow and altogether forgetting the grave tone she dramatized earlier, the redhead swung herself around the thick sequoia branch, mirroring the playground position of her friend. "Sunnie is a much a better name," She said while stretching her arms out—careful not to drop her bag of goodies.

Aladri might have been short in height—not even reaching 163 centimeters—but up in the trees, that mattered little. Nothing was out of the girl's reach because of her ability to scale trees that would put a cat to shame.

Lumi immediately looked down at Sunnie. Though she didn't say anything, Sunnie knew exactly what she was thinking by her facial expression. He thought it was quite humorous and said it once more before diving into her bag to eat her snacks. "Chinny".

Lumi looked at him and then back at Dri and let out a small sigh. There was no use in denying it. It was the only name she could think of back then. It could of been worse. Luckily for both of them though, it didn't end up permanent. She stood up on the sturdy branch and pointed to the sky and jokingly said:

"Ah, yes! Sunnie! The perfect name for a companion of mine. Remember it well! As it shall be the name who will fight beside the one and only Luminous and shine light on this dark world!" She sat back down and looked around at her surroundings and stopped when her eyes landed on the mushroom enthusiast beside her. 

"So what have you been up to?" She asked.

Despite the copious amounts of makeup she wore, today's fashion was a cobalt blue with gold glitter that stretched a wide arc from eye to eye, the wry look she gave the fairy could easily be interpreted. If it wasn't, the flick she gave the woman on her side and the biting of her own lip that fashioned into a smile followed by a giggle would give away the apparent humor. "Of yes! Our dark, *Dark* World," She said while lowering voice into as much of a baritone as she could. "Sunnie is a good name, but not for your reasons." Aladri stuck out her tongue for good measure. 

Placing a finger to her chin, which for those short of memory was pointed upwards towards the tops of the trees and beyond that the sky, and tapped it in feigned thought. "Oh all sorts of exciting things. I discovered this new patch... Don't look at me like that. Yes, mushrooms." Rolling her eyes, she continued her story list anyways. "I also ventured as far the mountains. Someday, I want to go inside, but I'm not so suicidal as to go in myself. Not without some *Light* For our *Dark*, *Daaaaark* World." Her tone reverted to the low octave once more, and she made a bigger show of it with creepy hand gestures. Aladri would hold her gaze at the Lumi so she'd get the hint.
Lois
Lumi had a big smile on her face. She quickly stood back up and put her hands on her hips. 

"Hahaha! A new patch? Of course! I expect nothing less from this forest's mushroom enthusiast." She turned to face the wood elf and grinned. 

She turned back around and picked Sunnie up from her bag and then faced the wood elf once again. 

"The mountains, huh? Sounds like a wonderful adventure.. Though it seems to be impossible to explore without some light. Luckily for you, the brightest "Lights" Wouldn't mind shining their yellow glow into the dark, dark unknown. In fact.. They have been craving an adventure of some sort."
Lea
"Professional," She corrected with a trouper's dignity. "One does not *Play* With mushrooms." Dri too stood up from her youthful position. Below them was a good sum of feet, perhaps a couple of scores and a half of them. In the wilds scattered across Silnari and beyond, the air felt thinner this high in the air, but in Ombu, there was magic in the woodlands. Anyone with a thimble of arcane wherewithal could feel it; the wood-elves breathed it in through their lungs, allowing the charm of the trees to fuel their everyday lives. 

However, the mountains were something else entirely. They didn't belong to the elves in the same way as the forests in their valley did. The caverns were dwarf territory—not that the wood elves were at war with the dwarves, but it was akin to walking into someone else's house uninvited. It was something one just didn't do.

"An adventure worth remembering, I'm sure. Even *Retelling*," She said with confidence. Aladri was always getting into trouble, but the mountains were a big step from trouble. Grinning, she knew she could count on her long-time friend, Luminous, for a bout of fun. Even if that meant they could get into some serious trouble. "Although, I'm not too good, as you well know, with the retelling of stories. It would be nice to have a bard follow us on his or her donkey. They always do ride the donkey in the stories, don't they?"
Lois
Lumi doesn't know anything about the lands outside the forest. All her days were spent somewhere deep in forest or at home where she aided her parents in various tasks. 

She would help tend the family garden when her parents were busy with other tasks. She wasn't as skilled as her friend Dri when it came to gardening, she did have some common knowledge about various plants, how to care for them and what they could be used for. She'd often picked fresh veggies and fruits that could be used for dinner and herbs for her mother's medicines. 

Overflowed with excitement, Lumi started to levitate over the tree branch. Exploring the mountains would be her first real adventure. 
An adventure she always dreamed of going on. She loved the forest, it was a beautiful place, and a place she calls home; but satisfying her wanderlust was long overdue.

"Perhaps they do, though donkeys aren't really my thing. I prefer something a little more fast paced." She said with a big smile.

She placed Sunnie on top of her head and shouted:

"At last, a new land awaits our arrival! Let's sever the darkness with our barehands! Hahaha!"
