"Good idea." Cloud said, sort of relieved that the tense moment was over. He felt it was kind of weird that Mith would open up about stuff like that and only hopped the things he said wouldn't make the situation worse. He waved at Tor and Ever as they approached, "Hey guys. Long time no see." he said with a smile.

"Missed us already Cloud?" Ever said bashing her eyelashes at him. "Isn't one girl enough for you." She teased. Gold walked into the camp as well with Daring following close behind. "I see you started the fire pit, good job." He said as he walked deliberately between Mith and Cloud to put the water down. "Cloud!" Daring said. "You should see the river, it's amazing!"

"One girl, yes, but you can never be in the company of too many friends." Cloud responded to Ever and turned to Daring, "I'll have to fly over to it some time then. About how much daylight do you think we have, Mr. Gold?" He asked, clearly eager to see the sights.

"You can explore for about two hours." Gold said. "But stay in groups, don't go by yourself. And if your not sure about the landmarks carry a campus with you. The town and station is south east from here."

OOC: Compass*
BIC: "Yay! Come on daring. Show me the river." Cloud said, almost leaping for joy and digging through his large duffle for his water bottle and... not finding a compass, "I forgot to pack a compass?" He said aloud, though mostly to himself, as he was genuinely confused and looked again through his back.

ooc: Yeah, I was too lazy to double check. "Here, you can borrow mine." Daring said handing him the compass. "I can navigate without it and I've already noted a whole bunch of landmarks."

"cool." Cloud exclaimed and took the compass, "Anypony else want to come?" He asked Gold, Mith, Tor, and Ever.

"Sure! I'll join you." Tornado said. "This is my first time here as well." "Okay then." Daring said. "Let's go while we still have daylight left."

Cloud nodded and ran off only a little, turning back to wait for Tornado and Daring.

Daring and Tor joined him and Daring led them to the river that was clear with the occasional rainbow appearing wear the sun came through the trees. "Wow!" Tornado said. "You don't get this around Cloudsdale."

"Cloudsdale, haven't seen that city in many many year, if you get what I'm saying. Though I can say there's nothing like this in Canterlot." Cloud said, his whole demeanor brightening up every time he saw a rainbow, "Doesn't Cloudsdale make rainbows? I figured there'd be Rainbow Rivers there as well."

"Of course we do!" Tornado said. "We've got rainbow rivers, not just rivers with rainbows. But I'm talking about everything here. The trees, the sun shining through them, the rainbows on the water, the rocks the plants. You don't get this in Cloudsdale. Not that Cloudsdale don't have its own beautiful location."

"Oh yeah, I guess growing up in a forest side village back before all these new fangled buildings, I kind of take nature for granted." Cloud said and looked around him, "And I suppose you still wouldn't get much trees and such in Cloudsdale since there's not much to grow anything on up there." Cloud said as his gaze shifted to the sky.w

"Yeah, I don't think too many ponies would be happy if we tried planting an orchard and it suddenly started raining apples." Tornado said and Daring laughed. "Well, I'm a Canterlot pony myself, so there's not much of this around there either." Daring said. "That's why I love coming to places like this. And for the opportunity of adventure of course."

Cloud looked around at the river, tree's, grass, and sky. He couldn't seem to get his fill. At some point, though, his thoughts drifted to his old home and the forest on the edge of which they lived. Cloud grew sad as he thought about his friends from back in the day, and Ripple, and even his teacher. He missed them and it actually bleed through into his demeanor for a moment. He regained his composure quickly, though, and took to the air to get a better look at their surroundings.

"Hey wai.." Daring tried to stop him before he flew into the air. "Horse apples! Doesn't he know he could loose sight of the camp by flying out of a forest this dense. Come on Tornado." Daring said and shot into the air. "Right behind you." She said and followed after her.

Cloud was just above the tree line. The forest seemed to go on forever in all directions. Caught up in the beauty of the moment was the perfect distraction and he felt better then sitting on the forest floor. He found a particularly dense section of branches and perched down where he found a spot.

"Now where did that pony fly off to?" Daring asked as she got above the canopy. "Hey Cloud! Where the hay are you!?" She called out.

Cloud was behind Daring on the treetops, "I'm down here." He called up to his friend, "Surely I would know better then to go flying off. As a pegasus I can truly appreciate the sky more then the dirt." he rationed and looked around at the view.

Daring turned around. "Yeah, but do you know where the camp is?" She asked indicating to the sea of green leafs that blocked any sight of what was below it.

"I know how to get back from the ground, yes. And I made sure not to fly too far from where I popped in through the canopy." Cloud said matter of factly, "I might not be an adventurer, but I can use landmarks too and I'm good at memorizing things if my grades are any consolation. Come on, take a load off and sit with an old man." Cloud said and tapped the section of branch beside him.

"Ha ha." Daring said. "Then you should know that landing even a little out of the way when you go back could disorientate you and that flying away without warning worries the ponies with you. But whatever." Daring said and fell down on the branch next to Cloud, shaking it viciously. Tornado landed next to Daring, more softly.

"Yeah yeah. I guess it's a good thing I've got you, adventurer extraordinaire." Cloud said, hovering for a moment to let the branch settle before sitting back down. Cloud looked up to the sky and was quickly lost in thought as he both literally and figuratively stared out into space.

"Thank you." Daring said to his comment and also stared up where Cloud was looking, although not so intently. "So, you really are from the past, huh?" Tornado suddenly asked. "Like really, really from a long time ago."

"Yeah, I'm really really from a long time ago. Of my generation, noone's still around, though my friends say they all lived to rip old age and passed on peacefully. A cost I didn't take into account when I choose to go with them." He said, looking down and obviously saddened at the thought, "But I've learned that I can overcome my past by focusing on the future and trying to make my dream the present." he added, his chipper side (or facade) coming through once more.

"So you're like a grandpa then." Tornado joked. "So do are you going to stay this young forever, or will you also become older?"

"Don't misunderstand, it's not like I've stopped aging. I just spent a couple years in a place where time moves slower. almost 2 years in there was almost 500 years out here. I'm not that different from who I was back then." Cloud laughed, "At least I hope I still age like a normal pony."

"I see." Tornado said. "I think." "Yeah and it doesn't help that he grew up in the sticks." Daring said. "There's nothing interesting he can tell me about what happened back then. Historically that is. Anyway, we better get back before the others get worried."

"Yep, we should shouldn't we. Well, great and powerful navigator, lead the way." Cloud and dropped through the canopy, indeed into a different spot then they came up through.

Daring facehoofed. "That's not how you do it Cloud!" Daring called to him. "First you look for the landmarks that you can recognize from the ground and air. Then we can land where we know we'll be able to easily find the camp. Luckily I know exactly where we are and where we should go." Daring said and flew over the canopy to what looked like random place. She waited there for Cloud to come back up and Tornado to follow her.
