"Your brother is worried." Yao stated. Gilbert averting his eyes.

"I know." He looked to Yao. "I think it's best that he doesn't know where I am."

"Although you have a point, you could have at least left a note or something. He seems almost lost."

"Whatever, what else do you have to say?"

"I too fear that someone is going to find out. I did fly here. So I'm just going to stay here until they probably find us."

"Alright. Then you cook."

"Fair enough."

"So," Gilbert look to his cup filled with tea. "Do you think there others like us?"

"Most likely."

"Have any guesses?"

"Older nations like Antonio or Francis or maybe even Arthur."

"Maybe...I guess we'll have to play a small game of hide and seek."

"Small? More like long. At least I don't have to hide these damn things." Yao huffed. "And I like the fact that I will have some form of peace and quiet."

"I guess you're right."

Seeing someone pull out wings and fly is already strange enough. To Arthur it was mind blowing. Especially seeing that it was Yao. He ran home feeling excitement run through him. He almost fell just getting all his magic books to do research.

Minutes went to hours. Next thing he knew he was mumbling nonsense unsure of what to do about such things. He needed an explanation but he couldn't find any. Frustration filled him just as much as curiosity did.

Why? Was the question that ran through his mind. Then more questions popped in. Who else? How? He paced back and forth. Nothing would explain such a thing.

He needed to know more but there was nothing that could help him. Unless...He knew he was going to regret such a thing but he had to.

It was time for one of his only option.

Francis.

Everything was perfect. A small cool breeze while the sun shined down just enough to make the earth warm but not too much. It was a nice to have such a thing for once. It was rare for his life to be this calm. Even if worries filled his mind he never had time to just calmly forget even if it was for a small time.

It felt great to say the least.

"When is the next meeting?" Gilbert asked Yao as he sat down.

"Tomorrow."

"They're are going to be suspicious."

"Isn't that what we want?"

"Yes and no."

"We really are in a complicated situation."

"Well, all we can do is see what will happen next."
