Wheatfield Mines (open to all)

Eriyana earthbended again to get its attention, stepping down from the pillars and gently petting the badgermole's nose, trying to show she was a fellow earthbender. "He didn't know we were in the way, but they're really friendly from what I've heard"

She pulled out a small flute and started to play a simple tune on it, hoping to present herself as an ally to it. "I was a bit shocked when you ran into me, what's your hurry?"

The badgermole stared at her with his big brown eyes. A single tear escaped and ran down his snout.

Gav slowly approached the mole as well. "Hey there buddy. What's up?"

Eriyana hugged the badgermole's face, trying to be comforting. "Something might be upsetting him, maybe he'll lead us to it"

She gently rubbed his nose, playing another short tune on her flute. "My name is eriyana, I'm from the malachite family, and you have a lot of questions to answer to me when we're done helping this fella.

Gav put his hands up. "Who, me?"

The Badgermole stuck his head forward and rubbed his head against Gav.

Gav tried not to move. "Well that was unexpected..."

Eriyana grabbed gav's hand and placed it gently on the badgermole's nose. "See? He's friendly too... mostly"

She hugged it's face and looked at it, seeing it had burns on it's large paws. "He's a bit injured, maybe he was attacked by thugs" She pulled off her backpack and pulled out some ointment and leaves, hoping it would help. As Eriyana nursed his wounds, she kept gav close so the could get used to each other. "So why the hurry?"

"Me, or the mole?" Gav asked, stroking the mole's long snout.

Eriyana finished healing the badgermole's font paws, rubbing it's ear and smiling. "Show us what's wrong friend..."

She turned back to Gav, having a stern look on her face. "You. I want to know why you ran me over trying to get through the caves."

Gav rubbed the back of his head with his free hand, givving her a cheesy looking embarresed smile. "Well..." He started, "I have to make dinner. Would you like to join us? I make a wicked stir-fry."

The mole looked excited at the mention of food, snuffling Gav's hand as the woman bandaged its burned paws. "I don't think i'd have for you friend" Gav said to the mole, "but my friend owns a pet store if you're hungry." He looked at the mole a moment. "You know, im going to call you Chibi cuz youre so dang cute."

Eriyana smiled evily at him. "Yes, a meal should be a fine apology for running me down~ isn't that right chibi?" She scratched his side. Pulling out a chunk sized glow gem and offering it to chibi, hoping he would like it.

Chibi watched the glow gem like a cat with a string. It made a light mewling sound as the woman bent it back and forth.

"I'm Gav by the way, and yourself?" He asked.
