Something about Rose Hills was... calming to Cherris. She smiled, yawning and streching out her back, moving her paws as far forward as they could go. She'd been traveling for a long time, and though she usually had a lot of stamina, she was getting tired.
Sitting upright, she looked around. She appeared to be alone, which suited her fine. She'd much rather rest in peace, anyway. Her stomach growled, agruing from lack of food, but she ignored it, lying down and admiring the scenery. She was too tired to look for food, anyway.

Overseers return from the human world had been with mixed reactions... Charlie had embraced him while a few witches and warlocks demanded that something be done now to stop Moria's gain in power.
While the young chosen ones were over excited at seeing him even seeming relieved... though Over Seer thought dearly of them all he needed to rest, his fight with Admus though not life threatening had reminded Over Seer of all of Moria's tricks.
Padding through the grass he came to a stop when he saw a lone figure tilting his head he grinned at seeing Cherris. She along with Charlie and Theo were among those young ones he considered his own children.
"What is this... could it be my little pup is too tired to even greet her godfather" Over Seer called out as he moved towards the young girl. [[seeing as Over Seer and Cherris father was friends I thought Overseer could be her godfater]]

((good one! i like that idea!))
She raised her head, and grinned wolfishly, sitting up and bowing in respect. "Greetings, master. It's good to see you've returned." Cherris was very respectful of him, calling him master and bowing even though he was har godfather. She thought of is as a replacement for 'Father', since she alray had one she called father... or used to.
"How are things there? And have you news from His Highness?"
((is it alright if she's friends with the prince? if not, that's okay.))

[[once we get a prince Theo that's fine... when the guy playing Charlie Brennan gets on I tell him too... he loves playing big brother]] Over seer chuckled when Cherris bowed to him, he bowed back before sitting down beside her and sighing.
"How could I stay away... I trust you have been behaving your self... I do worry" Overseer admitted with a wink, his wound was healing nicely so he took no heed to telling Cherris... no need for worry on her part.
"Things are going as they are meant too... I walk my path only hoping that I can do something to chance this dreadful nightmare we live in and the prince... I was going to ask you the same thing, I've heard that he has taken off on his own mission but thankfully not the wastelands as I first feared" Overseer admitted before glancing to Cherris.
He didn't want to admit that he was angry when he found out the prince had left but he would have to speak to the young man when he returned.
"Why are you out here by your self... no one has said anything to upset you have they" Overseer asked knowing full well that he would have to have harsh words with anyone who upset his god children.

((oooh, that's the guy that's ben barnes, isn't it? yayness))
Though she wasn't human, she felt her cheeks grow warm, and looked down to the grass, playing gently with a flower. That struck a nerve... "No..." she replied, quietly.
Of course he would know she was lying. She didn't even know why she bothered. However, she noticed Overseer wince a bit when he sat. Was he wounded? If he was, he probably wouldn't tell her. She let the worry settle in her eyes, but said nothing of the matter.

[[yep... give him hugs when you see him he hates it ]] Overseer listened to Cherris before chuckling and looking away, he saw the worry and knew he hadn't covered his injury too well but if she didn't speak of it he would not worry her further.
"Did I ever tell you about your father when I first met him... he could be foolish at times but he was kind and loyal. I had a stone butterfly given to me many years ago, one day I returned home to find it was broken and your father was very quiet when I asked him if he broke it he said no... I simply laughed and he asked why I was laughing" Overseer stated before grinning at Cherris.
"I told him I was laughing because he was possible the worst liar I have yet to meet and he confussed to the accident... I wasn't mad in fact it wasn't a very nice gift to give someone but I kept the butterfly... Do you understand why I'm telling you this?" Overseer asked lowering his head to watch Cherris.
"I tell you this because you are so much like your father... strong, brave and loyal but you are also bad at lying as he once was... so tell me why are you out here by yourself... I promise I won't laugh or hurt anyone who has upset you" Overseer said only half lying himself... he wouldn't laugh but he might have to verbally hurt someone for hurting Cherris.

((YAY HUGS! hehe))
A smile crept over her lips, then the laugh she was holding back was forced to come out. "Ah, master, you and your wisdom. All right... I'll tell you..."
She had to look at the ground, to keep from getting too upset about it. It almost felt like, if she looked at Overseer, she's start crying again. Her crying had ended ages ago, and in human form, so all evidence of it was gone. "Well... you see, I was at the market in a town nearby and... well, I was buying food. Eggs, bread, and the like. I happened to run into this group of boys around my age who were playing around. I tried to apologize, but they laughed and took my basket... that had everything I bought. I considered turning them all into toads, but I knew you wouldn't be happy with that. So... I ran after them...
She lay her head down, closing her eyes. "When I tried to get it back. they... threw all the eggs at me and threw the basket over my head. One boy laughed and said, "At least she looks better with he face covered..."
Suddenly feeling foolish, she sat up, quickly, scratching as if it was no big deal. "It's nothing really big, I guess. Just boys being boys... I'm mostly over it..." Even though she said it, she knew she was, once again, lying. Her confidence had been hurt. And she knew Overseer had noticed. He always noticed. Looking to the ground again, she fell silent.

Overseer smirked but didn't laugh... it did anger him what the boys did but at least it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Standing he rested his head against Cherris' and sighed "Dear one... take no heed to those boys... you are more beautiful then you will ever understand, not just in looks but your soul is kind and loyal. Overseer assured with a smile.
"You have a great destiny awaiting you... ignore what has been said that hurts you and think only of the good things that will come once you have done what you have to do" Overseer offered before he stepped back and winked.
"Trust the words of an old man... in a day or two you will forget what hurtful words were said and you will no doubt be bubbling over with all the things you want to tell me that always brings a smile to my lips" Overseer stated lightly hoping to lift her spirits.

Cherris looked up at him for a second, then nuzzled his side, affectionately. "Thank you...godfather." she said, mood lightening. His encouragement always had that affect on her. "Now... to actual important things. What of Theo's mission you spoke of earlier? What is this?"

Overseer laughed and sat back down before rolling his eyes. "That boy is just as head strong and stubborn... as... well I do not know but he does not listen to me. His mission is that he went looking for magical creatures to help him... I told him that he would be safer here where he would be protected and though he said he would stay here he took off once I left... he thinks I won't find out" Overseer stated before lowering his eyes both with worry over the prince and the fact that he could have once been called stubborn too.
"If I wasn't so fond of him I would turn him into a toad... perhaps I still might if you teached me the correct spell because I'm sure I never taught you that one" Overseer stated with a wink to Cherris.

((meh friend wants to be theo. he's all into the princely-ness T.T whatever... and my other friend is fairly interested, too. score for moi!))
Her eyes laughed as she replied, "Well, maybe you should teach me. I'm not so fond of him. I'll do it." She shook her head, and sighed. "I see... well, he will be a good king, someday. He's got confidence, bravery... but he'll need a brave advisor like you to keep him on his toes. Me? I'll nip him in the butt when you're away."

[[LOL as long as he doesn't make us bow down thats good... 1-0 to you]] Overseer couldn't help but laugh out loud, the image of Cherris nipping Theo in the butt was quiet amusing... the boy had been the end of many things. He knew only to well that Theo, Charlie and Foxy often took off exploring or worse yet Theo teased some of the others in the camp and got a swift hit around the back of the head.
"I think I prefer him in his form for the time being... he has his uses... but I'll keep it in mind"
Scoffing Overseer didn't believe that she needed to be taught certain spells... he was sure she had the knowledge to keep most of the other children in line.
"He will make a wonderful King I have no doubt about that... but I fear little one that there will be a day when he will not need me... none of you will need me any more and when that time comes I will happily follow a new path... though if anyone should be advisor to Theo it should be you... you are wiser beyond your years" Overseer admitted with a chuckle.

"Wise..." said Charris, with a laugh, "Me wise? Never as wise as you. We'll always need you, master. " She looked thoughtfully into the distance, admiring her surroundings, then said, "Will you go after him, or are you going to send someone, like Whysper or myself? I bet Lowen went with him, too, didn't he?"

Overseer couldn't help but chuckle as Cherris declared she was not wise... she was truly wiser then her years but would never accept it.
"There will come a day my dear when you will see what I see" Overseer admitted before heaving a sigh and looked off into the distance that Cherris was looking to.
"All things must come to an end... but in Mediocris the end doesn't mean death, I must move on one day far off in the future because it will be my time to go" Overseer admitted before looking to Cherris.
"I believe that will be your last lesson to learn.... to accept that everything happens for a reason" Overseer stated before laughing at the thought of Cherris or Whysper going after Theo.
"I believe that the Prince will fair alright by himself, I have more important things for you and Whysper to do besides no doubt Lowen went with Theo in the beginning... have you known Lowen ever to sit by and allow the Prince to go off" Overseer asked with a smirk.

She shook her head "No, of course not. I should know better...should I go after them, Master?" she asked, curiously.
