worlds far yet close (any thing)

"there!" andrean squeaked with excitement as she pointed at a entresting land in the distance "where almost there! just a little while longer!" kaylin said whan she turned her head to see how both of them where doing.

[Belladandy]

The look on Joth's face strongly resembled somebody who had guzzled down one too many jugs of beer.

Seeing that the elf was looking at him The thief put on a rather dupey smile. "I-I- I'm-m faahiinne...." He slurred out as his body swaggered a little, threatening to faint and fall off.

[kaylin58]

"sure you are" the two girls said as they rolled their eyes. soon the dragon swerved then landed on the ground. "alrighty! we're here" andrean said she was the first to leap of the dragon.

[Belladandy]

Half jumping half falling off the dragon's back the young thief staggered for a few seconds and then promply colasped to the ground.

"Uhh...Make the world stop spinning..." He moaned.

[kaylin58]

"well, i think we can stop for a bit" andrean yawned looking dizzy herself. she then sat down by a tree and dosed a bit

[Belladandy]

"Where are we anyway?" Asked the thief slowly getting up to a sitting position.

[kaylin58]

"we are in the more peaceful part of my kingdom." kaylin said while running her hand through the soft current of a stream that ran by. "and don't worry. in this part people wont hang you." she said teasingly. "oh,, kaylin? do you know is theres a deeper and wider part of that stream? or a small pool? i feel like taking a dip." andrean said while lazily stretching and yawning.

[Belladandy]

The Mouse just rolled his eyes. "So what do they do to us evil thieves then? Lop the head or get a good streach on the rack." He said sarcastically and chuckling to himself.
"And speaking of takeing a dip...."

Walking over the to the stream Joth bent down, cup his hands, and splashed the cool water on his face

That's what the thief did for a 'bath' wash the hands and maybe the face. Rarely did he ever take a proper bath which might explain the smell.

[kaylin58]

"dont worry! here theives are welcome." kaylin rolled her eyes " you can go but I cant...i will return to my kindom tomorow." she got up walked over to the dragon and got her bag then sat down by it. she pulled a book out and began reading. "what do you mean you have to 'return'? why cant you stay here?" andrean put her hands on her hips.

[Belladandy]

"So I take it is a thief haven?" A bright smile formed on Joth's lips and plopping himself on the ground with his head resting in his hands he muttered. "Well then the Mouse is all for it...Perhaps I may meet my idol..."
~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile back at the former hideout....

Another beast had entered the vacant caverns, only this time the small creature wasn't dangerous...theoretically.

A bird poked her black beak at the scrape marks left behind by the dragon. She was a raven or what looked like a raven save that on her tail and wing feathers were a deep blue that melted into a dark purple and her eyes were a bright yellow.

The bird cocked her head at the large exit and let out a
"Curook!"
Too late! Aww...Poor Neyena you have missed them!

And it looked like it'll be awhile before she could catch up with the elven princess and her companions. No matter the rebels were still preparing for battle and unless any foe struck early the raven, Neyena had little to worry about.

Spreading out her wings the raven took off flying higher and higher in the air crossing her fingers/talons that she'd wouldn't be late a second time.

[kaylin58]

"yes, this is thief haven" andrean rubbed her hands together with a grin. kaylin peeked out from her book and rolled her eyes at the corny andrean."yes she is corect." she said with a yawn. the dragon got up with a shake "hey you! where are yah goin'?" andrean said looking blankly at the dragon. it only looked back before it went into the woods. "should i go get her?" andrean said still looking at where the dragon went. "no. it will come when i call it."kaylin repleid flipping a page of her book."shes a book worm." said leaning over to joth"shes always with a book!" she grined acting like she said nothing kaylin raised one eyebrow slowly puting down her book. "eee- heeh? what?"

[Belladandy]

The Mouse looked at the princess feeling slightly envious. Lucky for her that she could read, he couldn't and was too proud or rather a bit ashamed to say it.

On the other hand what does reading do for a thief? Practically nothing.

Shrugging the thought off Joth merely said. "So what's the name of this 'thief haven?'"

[kaylin58]

"umm...theif haven!"andrean burst out in laughter. they all jumped when the dragon came rambling back. ''eew! what did you get now?" andrean said lookig rather like she was in distress. it whimperd as it sat down its kill. "ick no! we dont eat stuff like that! what even is it?"she began to gag

[Belladandy]

The Mouse just stood there looking dumbstruck at Andrean's statment. When it came to a meal theives (well petty ones that is) were never picky. WIth a life of feast or famine you take whatever you could get.

"How can you say that!" Cried the Mouse. "Freah meat! How often do you get it?"

His gaze went the kill and his mouth watered. If they wern't going to eat it Joth might as well not let the dead creature die in vain. After all meat was a rarity for him and he was going to take full oppertunity of it.
The Mouse grined ear to ear and gave the elf a gentle nugde with his elbow. "Say, princess can you get that scaly beastie to do a little firey air burp? Save us time finding wood and lighting a fire?"

[kaylin58]

"you might want to look what that thing has on it!" the meat was coverd in flys.(and we know what appears after flys) but the dragon growled a bit and stood gaurd over its kill. "i know where theres somthing better!!"a strang criter looked at them. "come on! come on!!" it hoped up and down. (((i'm going on a vacation so i wont be on every night)))
