With his hearing mystically enhanced, he stood in the center of the small clearing, slowly turning in a circle, analyzing all the sounds. He then opened his eyes and continued to turn, assessing what he could see. With the small clearing obscured from direct view of anyone approaching from the mines, Taylar quickly concluded that this was a spot that adolescents would come to when they wanted to avoid adult interference. It made perfect sense.He heard the singing of birds and the movement of rodents. He heard the sounds of the river and wind, swaying the tops of the trees. He could hear the mist, as the tiny droplets burst when contacting a surface. It would take some skill, but the abductors could have successfully come from upstream or from the east. Looking north then east then west, he arrived at the same conclusion Plumeir had offered. Though it would not have been a good approach, the best means of escape would have been to cross the river.Of the four sets of parents, three tended to speak excessively. It was indicative of nervousness and extroversion. The last set of parents were quieter, more pragmatic. They provided sufficient answers to queries but Astarte and Plumeir both realized that all were withholding information. It was not from any perceived sense of malevolence, it was typical self-delusion and omission coming from the relationship of parent to child. A child could have been the worst person ever to breathe; but once missing, a parent can only see him or her as a great loss. These parents were not going to be of much help because they lacked the wherewithal to be helpful, but Astarte and Plumeir deduced that the four children taken were a bit elitist and likely shunned or disabused other children. This fact would cause them to be more often separated from the collective. Ironically, it had put them at risk.[spoiler=Character Data]Taylar: full wellnessAstarte: full wellnessPlumeir: full wellness[/spoiler][ooc]Each character receives 5 DP.
