'Mm?' He followed her finger to the building with the chimney, and sat up when he saw the smoke rising. 'How...How does it do that?' Curious, Kona got up and wandered into the town. Why wasnt anyone around? It was so quiet.
Feeling a wave of mischief come over him, Kona cupped his hands to his mouth and howled. The sound echoed about the houses for a while, and he giggled before turning back to Raeoki. 'Come on, lets find somewhere warm and then we can play!'

"The smoke from fire travels up the chimney and puffs out of the home." Raeoki explained. Giggling as Kona howled, she looked up to the sky and let out a big, loud, classic Whooper Swan woop.
Raeoki flapped her wings, and her feet lifted from the ground. "Hee-hee! I'll raise you to that building with the chimney!"

Smoke? Ah...that was it. Kona still found the concept strange though. Where was the smoke coming from...Oh! Fire! Smoke came from fire, so that house must have a fire going on the inside. Oh course. Pleased with his little discovery, Kona turned to tell Raeoki, but she cut through him with a peculiar 'Woop' sound. Kona blinked, unsure of how to react. It was...funny! Kona yipped and wagged his tail in yet another fit of giggles.
I'll raise you to that building with the chimney
Ooh. That would be cool. Kona nodded excitedly as his friend lifted off the ground. 'Yes, i want to see!' She offered her hands and he held on as she began to rise, albeit with some difficulty. After a struggle they were near the chimney, and Kona let his grip loosen, landing with a thud on the snow-covered roof.
Once she was beside him, Kona leaned over and plunged his head down the narrow brick pipe. The smoke was all around him now, and Kona couldnt help coughing and gagging. Not only that but it was impossible to see anything. Perhaps if he edged in a little further...

Raeoki blinked at Taron. "Everything alright in there?" She asked, a little curious too, even though she already knew about chimneys and the like.

(XD oooh)
Kona nodded, but Raeoki couldnt possibly have seen through all the smoke. 'I...cant see whats down there' How irritating; fly up here to get a better look, and end up not being able to see anything! With gritted teeth, Kona pushed in one final time...and lost his grip, slipping headfirst down the chimney.
Ugh...The world was upside down...and...hot! Kona yelped and quickly rolled off the fireplace. Well...he'd crushed the fire so it'd gone out, but the wood was still burning in places, and now so was his back! He was also covered in black powdery stuff, which he attempted to shake off. It surrounded him in a suffocating dark cloud, and Kona spent a good while just coughing and dusting himself.
Where was he...some kind of front room? Inside the house obviously, but no-one was here...or perhaps there were people in the other rooms. Raeoki should see this...Hey! He'd almost forgotten about her. Crawling back over to the chimney base, Kona called up to her 'Come down here, its warm!'

"KONA!" Raeoki screamed a moment after her new bud dissapeared into the chimney. "KONAA!!" She looked down into the blackness of the chimney.
"The smoke from fire travels up the chimney and puffs out of the home..." Raeoki heard herself, as if somehow she was thrust back in time. Suddenly, a picture of Kona having his back scorched with third degree burns, and Raeoki grew weak-kneed.
But then, Raeoki heard Kona's voice. Letting out a sigh of relief that her fellow +Anima wasn't hurt, Raeoki's wings vanished, and her webbed-feet turned into regular humans feet (though you couldn't see it) and she hopped into the chimney. "OOF!" She grunted upon landing. "Ooooh...you're right, Kona! This is warm!"

Kona giggled and wagged his tail, which threw up alot of dust. Raeoki was covered in black stuff too, a funny sight. Had she not noticed? 'You're all messy!' Pulling her away from the burning wood, he sat crosslegged and proceeded to rub off some of the soot. Not very successful...it smeared alot, particularly on her face. She looked a state, was that what he looked like? 'mm...Wont come off' he told her, wiping his blackened hands on his trousers (which had been quite filthy to begin with).
It took Kona a while to notice her wings were gone. Gone! He tilted his head, baffled, but then realised something. If he could be a dog one minute and a boy the next...then maybe Raeoki could have wings...and then not! Of course! Either that...or she'd taken her wings off (he still couldnt get his head round that one). It was a good thing though; if they were out, the feathers would be horribly dirty and impossible to clean. Speaking of which...Kona fumbled with his ears, and his fingers came away black. Growling in displeasure he frantically shook and scratched at them. Kona didnt mind if his clothes were dirty...he just hated having filth in his fur; the most uncomfortably itchy sensation ever.

Raeoki blinked as Kona tried to wipe away the soot from her face. She looked down at her arms, and couldn't help but giggle. "Heh-heh-heh..."
Kona began to growl and scratch at his ears. "Ooh! Let me get that!" Raeoki offered before tying off her black apron that she had put on for wind protection (even she wasn't sure how that would work...) and began to use it to clean Kona's ears. The apron was black, so it would be alright with some soot.
A human bursted into the room with a cane. "WHAT'RE YOU DOING HERE!?" He screamed as he waved the wooden cane around.
Raeoki gasped before grabbing a chimney poker and gave it to Kona. "In case he gets any funny business with that cane!" She yelled before pulling out her sword which had been sheathed in her green belt and her metal, lavender fan. Opening the fan up and waving air towards herself to add dramatic affect, Raeoki glared at the man. "Hold up, mister! We're not here to steal or vandalize, but we do have three weapons while you only have one, and we have two fighters when you only have yourself! What kind of odds are that!?"

Kona jumped back in alarm when the man appeared, shrinking back when he saw the cane. In a flash Raeoki had shifted to attack...except...she didnt, she just talked. He was thrust a long stick object, what on earth was he expected to do with that? The man looked angry. Oh dear...for the first time Kona saw the soot marks all over the floor and the complete mess the room was in. Humans didnt like mess...Kona knew that much. He'd displeased the poor man; it was his fault!
The guy yelled something again, and Kona moaned and whined, holding his ears, his clean ears. Dear Raeoki had cleaned them for him...but now she was going to hurt the man...or the other way around. It was bad, not right! It should stop. He should stop it. Him. 'Stop!' he moaned pathetically, tail drooped. Kona cast away the pointy stick and knelt hunched over. 'It hurts...' He wasnt quite sure how it hurt...but it did. Perhaps it was all the shouting...humans had no respect for those with better hearing.
