Caspian had never thought himself much of a leader. He didn't have the self-confidence, he believed, to take up the position and be effective. But, time and again, he was put in the position of authority, and time and again, he rose to the challenge, his yearning to do what was right outweighing his trepidations about his capability.

And so when it fell to him to lead this ragamuffin group through the labyrinth, he prepared for the journey as best as he could. While he was under the impression that every journey through the maze was different, fraught with dangers unlike the ones laid out before, he spoke to those he could about what would befall the group, and took it all into account. There was also the subject of provisions, as the journey could take days, even weeks to complete. That was a harder task to undertake, but from the three packs at his feet, it was fairly clear that Caspian had done all he could to ensure that, at the very least, the group would not starve.

So now, all the young king could do was wait, sitting on a low wall near the entrance, watching the sun rise over the changed city - which he really didn't have the mental capacity to ponder at the moment - and watched for his companions to arrive.

Rude comments? Buffy wasn't being rude, she was being . . . well, Buffy. Okay, so he didn't get the reference, didn't mean he had to get all grouchy about it. Of course the kinds of people who would throw little hissy fits about stone trees were probably the same kinds of people who would be fussy about everything else. Suddenly she missed Giles very much.

"Okay, on our way then." She threw a glance at Hermione and leaned over to whisper in her ear before she stepped into line. "Cool as that was, I don't suppose you could undo it? The boys in the group might be a bit more agreeable if you do."

She offered her an understanding smile, after all she didn't get what the big deal was about the tree and would have just said 'neat' if she wasn't worried that fisticuffs would break out if she did.

She decided then that this was going to go nowhere fast if she didn't at least make an attempt to soothe things over with people and since the vulcan or elf or whatever he was was currently pissed at her and the other self appointed leader of the group was no better off, they were the ones she directed her question to. "So, out of curiousity. If trees are like . . . your buds, what do you build your houses out of where you come from?"

It never took long for the evil little smile that Hermione shot at Caspian and Legolas to fade. When she was hit with their reactions she was trying with all her might not to bust out and cry “I'm sorry..I never wanted to upset anyone...I just wanted to prove a point” she said with a little dry snob afterwards breaking out into large tears.

“Thanks and yeah I was just about to do that actually” she whispered back to Buffy with a smile wiping newly formed tears away with her sleeve, at least someone had never freaked out at her for her little outburst of feminine fury, seeing Giselle had turned back it was just Buffy and herself now to prove their point in equality.

Walking to the tree she turned back around to the boys “Just because its petrified don't mean its dead” she explained, she knew this all to well being petrified back in her second year “Don't worry I can reverse it and Mr. Tree here can go back to living his life with all his family and friends” she lifted her wand and tapped the tree then muttered “Finite Incantatem” she turned back hoping to find the boys in a better mood now that their tree was back to normal and walking back to Buffy she noticed they were joined once again by Giselle.

Legolas was right they needed to work together but Hermione just wanted to run off by herself at this moment, to be alone or at least take Buffy with her and prove woman can kick butt as well as look pretty. Instead she ran off towards the wall Legolas pointed to, just to be alone for a few minuets while looking for the door, still upset over what Caspian and Legolas said to her now with more tears tricking down her face, she sat down at the entrance with her head in her knees and waited for the others.
