Arriana glared at Daxter before saying, "Next time, think about what you're looking at."
Jak smiled at the girl before taking a seat next to her. They would both wait paitently for Teacher to come back whether or not Daxter wanted to.

[Xazz]

((I need Jak to talk... but since he can't talk he's ganna do sign language.))

"I don't think that was the problem," said Jak waving his hands about in patterns.

[Shizuka]

((and that's why i like the other games...))

"Well, that was partly it. The other part, I'll never know about...", she replied, looking somewhat solemn.

[Xazz]

((yeah, YPL just stokes Dax's ego cause jak don't talk...))

"No, I saw her crying. Daxter is always looking at," he paused and blushed. "Them she never gets so worked up over it. It was somthing else."

[Shizuka]

She looked at Jak, confused. "Really? Hmm... I wonder what it was...", she said.

[Xazz]

"She muttered somthing before she left. I only just heard it, somthing like 'he's still...' somthing, I didn't hear the rest."

[Shizuka]

Arriana looked in the direction Teacher had run off to and then turned her head back to face Jak, who had a small hint of worry on his face. She smiled and said, "I'm just as worried as you, but we've gotta let her be."

[Xazz]

((FAUCKZIT! I'm writing her real name))

Ryn dropped as she got to the enterance art of the Basin. She had climbed up onto the top of one of the large Precursor metal half circles in the middle of them. She brought her legs up to her chin, crying. "Damn it," she cursed. "Its been ten years, you should be over it!" but she knew she wouldn't. Not now not ever.

"I hope she's okay. When Teacher gets sad... its bad," said Jak. "One time she locked herself in her house for a week and wouldn't let anyone inside but Mia and Samos. No one knew what was wrong. Well maybe Mia and Samos, but they arn't saying."

[Shizuka]

"I hope she's okay too. I've only known her for about four years... and I've never seen her like this.", she replied.

[Xazz]

Daxter, who had been following the conversation, added from Jak's shoulder. "Teacher is really moody, ya know."

"Be quite Daxter," said Jak waving his hands around in an angry motion.

[Shizuka]

((i've gotta go...))

[Xazz]

((grrrr.. this sucks))

[Shizuka]

"She's not moody, she's just going through something tough that she never got over... at least I think that's what it is.", Arriana said.

"I still say she's moody...", Daxter repiled, muttering.

[Xazz]

"Well we didn't ask you Daxter," said Jak glaring at the osstle. "And unlike you we care if Teacher isn't alright!"

[Shizuka]

"Yeah, yeah, whateva...", Daxter replied.

Arriana glared at Daxter before hearing someone or something rustle. And it wasn't an electric mole...

[Xazz]

((erm...))

[Shizuka]

((well... there's a number of things... more than likely a lurker... or it could be Teacher. take your pick))

[Xazz]

Somthing behind them growled. But it wasn't very feroususe. Jak watched the bushes intently, ready to spring if nesicarry. But it proved unnesicarry as only Teacher's small Kinkacho Tucker poked his head out of the bushes squeaking.

[Shizuka]

((... what the...))

Arriana jumped a little, somewhat surprised the girl. Daxter started to laugh and almost fell off Jak's shoulder. She glared at the ottsel, but he didn't care! He had never seen her be so afraid of something so small.

[Xazz]

((yeah... its Teacher's pet. He misses her!!))

He continued squeaking and chirping pitifully at the two elves. Creening for his owner.

[Shizuka]

((i'mmuna have to read up on what that pet is...))

When Arriana got a good look at who and what it was, she motioned for him to come to her.
