Zynonia sat on a bench that looked like it would fall apart under the weight of a person but was actually quite sturdy.  She was stroking two purring cats that had followed her here while she looked up at the sky as she often did.  It was obvious, once you knew her elements, that she came here often.  The plants here seemed to be growing faster than the others around them and clung to the bench that Zynonia sat upon.

One cat let out a meow and she removed her gaze from the sky as saw another person.  She sensed a slightly strange feeling coming from him, but decided it was nothing and continued to look at the sky.  She purred to the cat that had meowed at him and the cat jumped off the bench to go investigate him.

The feline pushed it's head against Jash's head to show that it liked the ear scratching.  It then answered his question by leaving him and heading towards Zynonia, who kep ther gaze locked on the sky.  It looked back at Jash to see if he planned on scratching it behind the ears again like it loved.

Zynonia continued to listen, finally deciding that he wasn't a threat.  If her cat trusted him and she couldn't find a reason not to herself, she decided that she had no need to be to wary of him.

((Hmm... where to start again? so many posts... xD ))

Klair stared at all the food and wondered how the heck Erin had managed to get all of it. "Stick to smaller crimes," she said, still in a state of shock at the sight of all of the food. She grabbed an apple and bit into it without even washing it. It tasted delicious. She flopped down on the couch next to Erin. "Thanks," she said gratefully.

Rakoren bit down into the now warm bread. It was harder than he had expected, but completely worth it. The bread smelled so good, and felt warm as it went down his throat. "This is so good," he said to himself.

Jash looked at Zynonia. So this was the nice cat's owner. Then he noticed the cat looking at him, waiting for him to scratch its ears again. He shrugged, then Jash approached the cat again, leaning down to place his hand on the cat's head. Jash started to scratch again.

The catallowed itself to be pet like this for about another minutes bnefore deciding it wanted to go back to Zynonia.  It purred its thanks and dashed over to Zynonia, leaping onto her lap.  The other cat had left by now for some reason.

Zynonia, for the first time in a while, looked down from the sky completely to make sure her cat was okay after visiting with that stranger.  She said nothing to Jash though, almost as though she were ignoring him.  She was actually watching him carfully to make sure he didn't suddenly realize she was an elemetal somehow and then try to turn her in.  She had stayed free tyhis long and didn't plan on capture just yet.

Jash watched as the cat went back to its owner. Then he turned his back on them. He stared, his eyes searching, looking in case someone was watching him from the buildings. Jash had discovered a year before how his element came in flashes sometimes, always unexpected. Ever since, he wanted to make sure, that no one figured out about him being an Elemental, or at least he thought he was. Jash was starting to doubt what he was.

"Just, I..." Jash's voice trailed off for a moment trying to think of what to say. Should he lie or something? Then he felt importance seeming to come off the person. Jash remembered what his brothers had said once before, about recognizing other Elementals.

+Past+

"How do you know if you're talking to one of us?" Jash curiously asked Rakoren.

Rakoren looked at Jash. "You can usually feel it. It's like a tug, a pull at you, trying to make you pay attention to your kind's presence. All Elementals can feel it, and can choose to ignore it, or find this Elemental. Some Elementals can even see a slight glow around the person."

The young Jash blinked his eyes. "Really?" he asked.

Another brother of his answered,"Yes, really, Jash."
