After getting past the gates and giggling at how the general public acted towards Layla, Jynx hopped onto her friends back and pat her neck.<br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Let's go home."</span><br/>She said as Layla's massive claws dug into the dirt and Jynx felt the ripple of her powerful muscle just before she herself leaned down and Layla blasted off in a full sprint to start heading home, to Fangwood.  Jynx had some things she needed to pack for this lengthy of a job, she also had to tell her father she'd be going on a rather long mission so she'd be off the map for a while.  Something wonderful about Layla compared to most steeds was that she was very fast and they didn't have to take the 'normal' route as both she and Layla were very agile and could easily traverse through the wooded areas just as easily as the flat ones.<br/><br/>However, they were both felines and they suffered some of the usual draw backs of their species like being very lazy and in the day light hours.  So, getting off of the road, Layla and Jynx both found a nice patch of forest and climbed the biggest tree for a bit of a 'cat nap'.  Just something to pass the time till the sun went down, then they'd be able to cover a lot more ground as they'd be wide awake and very active.  So, Jynx and Layla slept for a few hours and as the sounds of predatory creatures waking caught their ears, both felines woke up and stretched for a moment before hopping out of their perch and making their way home as intended.  Thanks to travelling at night when the roads were empty of passing merchants and caravans carrying supplies, Jynx was able to cover a lot of ground and make it home in a single day.<br/><br/>Well, close to home as she had to make a detour to Vigill before going home.  Stopping by the city of Vigill she had heard back from her wisp that her scholar friend had some information for her.  Since Vigill was so close to her home, the people of this city were quite accustomed to seeing members of her clan as well as their companions and this allowed them to be a little less jumpy around Layla.  In fact, Layla had a few human and Anthro friends in Vigill who loved to feed her meat because then they could pet her.  Something very few knew about was that a Ravager's coat was actually very soft.  Yes they had thick hides for protection but the fur was incredibly soft, they just never let anyone close enough to feel usually.  So, stopping at her 'friends' shop, she walked inside while Layla was outside being fed some very tasty deer meat by the local butcher and his children.<br/><br/>Seeing the male sitting at a chair surrounded by scrolls and books she picked up a small pebble and shot it to the back of his head but as she did this the pebble stopped.  Smiling the male sighed.<br/>"Never can give me a simple greeting like a normal person can you Jynx?"<br/>He asked as he turned around and the pebble dropped.  Walking over Jynx cocked her head and giggled.<br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Now where's the fun in that."</span><br/>Shaking his head again, a common thing when speaking to the feisty feline, Xavier handed a satchel of scrolls he'd written over night to Jynx.<br/>"Everything I know and could find in the short period of time.  You're going after some powerful stuff Jynx.  Too much power for one person."<br/>Jynx nodded as she pulled the strap over her shoulder.<br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(44, 130, 201)">"I figured.  I'll read up on it more on my way there.  Thanks for the help X."</span><br/><br/>The male nodded and smiled with a sigh.<br/>"Do make sure you survive this.  My life will become infinitely more boring without your antics."<br/>Jynx gave a short laugh.<br/><span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(44, 130, 201)">"Oh it'll take quite a bit to put me in the ground.  Papa raised me right."</span>
