The median remained wary of each little movement the man made. When he practically jumped at her words, she jerked back. Her eyes narrowed. She listened to his question but didn't respond immediately. Instead, she waited to make sure that the smuggler wasn't going to make any other sudden...

Mana scrambled off the bed, almost getting tangled in the sheets during the process. Sure, she had gotten some strength back from the spell, but she definitely wasn't at full health. So, the best she could do was crawl to the downed trapper. "I am fine, but please do not do that again." The...

The girl had been sitting in the cell for a while, just listening to the sounds around her. Her cell mate hadn't moved since she had gotten there, so it seemed safe to assume he was asleep. She allowed her mind to wander a bit. There wasn't much else for her to do. She was too riled up to...

The small median was so giddy over her gain that she had to stop herself from jumping in excitement. The pouch was heavy with coin and it was gotten from a guard. The symbol on the side proved it. Most other thieves in the area thought little of the girl. She was a petty thief and didn’t have...

She watched with dying hope as the crowd swelled to stampede-like size. With one that big, it would be almost impossible to move around. If you got caught in the middle of one of those, your chances of escape dwindled very quickly. Perhaps it would be more beneficial if she just moved on to a...

A flicker of orange passed through the crowds. A flash of colour in the sea of people, darting quickly from place to place. Uncovered paws quietly passing over the cobbled square. Despite her bright colours, the small girl went mostly unnoticed. She didn't have much of a stature, so remained...

Mana could feel Aino's panic, which - as he had suspected - caused hers to worsen. She had hoped that as a human, he might know what was wrong with her human body and why it wasn't responding to her. At his question of berries, several images of possible candidates flashed through her mind. She...

The whole situation had her unable to respond. Or rather, unable to translate from dragon tongue to the human speak. Even in her panicked state, she knew better than to speak dragon right in front of a human who didn't know about her true form. All she could to is hold back whimpers - although...

Mana became visibly worried when Aino began to scold her, despite his words being countered by his concern and compliments. She defensively wrapped her arms around he little hoard, holding back a growl. Dragons were protective of their belongings and she didn't care if she was in a weakened...

Mana straightened when the human spoke to her and blinked a few times. He hadn't seemed to take interest throughout their little journey. It left her plenty of time to venture a little and gather a fair amount of shiny objects which threatened to fall out her arms. It would have been a mystery...

At some point in the night, not too long before sunrise, Caedis had reached her limit. With as much stealth as she could muster, she scrabbled out the window into the wilderness beyond. 

he woke several times. The light of the moon gloated about the beauty and safety that the outside world offered. It tortured her constantly. She was tempted to leave this claustrophobic place and be where the wind called her. Her home was up in a tree somewhere. 

Caedis huffed and turned over, facing away from the healer. She mentally glared at him until her body begged for sleep. She eventually relented and finally shut off her brain. However, the slightest movement in the room would put her on full alert.

"Taking my weapons would be the equivalent of killing me." Her voice was cold and matter-of-fact. Her eyes didn't waver at the morbidity of the statement. To her, it felt as if her weapons were as much a part of her as her shadow. They were one of the things that made her feel like she actually...

A thoughtful look crossed her face. At least being dead would stop the oppressive boredom. Perhaps decapitation was the answer.  ... It would be safer.  She knew her thoughts were dangerous, but she couldn't help it. The constant fear of Muinor lying about his intentions made every second...

The mention of magic caught her attention. He had magic? No way. He was definitely bluffing. Caedis scanned the healer's face, looking for even a hint of a lie. She found none, and that bothered her.  She clicked her tongue. "No point." Her words were barely audible, muttered with venom. 

She sat back down on the mattress, doing her best not to show the difficulty she did it with. "But then I would be dead, and that's one less problem for both of us." Her pride refused to let her give in. 

Caedis held back a sigh of irritation and made her way to her bed. She glared at the healer if he attempted to touch her to help. She didn't need help. She could do it on her own. Just as she had done everything else.  By herself. No help needed. "I'm fine." She pretty much growled. 

Manauia quietly listened to the human, her face clearly showing her opinion on each statement he made. She almost growled at the mention of restraining her. She wouldn't just escape. She would destroy the house if he even dared to attempt tying her into place. Even if it killed her in the...

She didn't fight or struggle, she just nodded and dragged herself to her feet. Her hand clutched at her side, her wound throbbing slightly as she shuffled back to the room. Before she opened the door, she stopped. "Thank you for the meal." She mumbled without looking away from the door. She...
