Good news guys. I was out doing some training to get ready for the caverns tomorrow. I bonded with a Cascoon a few days ago, and she just evolved into a Dustox! Prickly's definitely moving up in the world!

[There's a whooshing sound rather close to the Warp Band]

[For those who are around when Ezreal makes this post, as he mentions Prickly she huffs and launches a poisoned spine at him, that he casually and habitually moves his head to the left to dodge]

[Vinegar and honey, Ezreal, watch and learn.

Fishing through her bag, she pulls out her spearow-pecked sketchbook and a small tin. Opening it, she riffles through, pulling out a charcoal pencil.]

Wings out please. This will not take long.

[action]

[indy_wannabe]

[Prickly obediently opens her wings, again without complaint]

[action]

[ladyofluminosity]

[And she starts sketching. She does not look up as she speaks; she does, however, smirk, eyebrows slightly raised.]

See there? Kind words, not cruel.

[action]

[indy_wannabe]

Easy for you to say, she likes you.

[action]

[ladyofluminosity]

Because I am nice to her.

[Is that a Dratini snicker? She even puts her tail up over her mouth.]

[action]

[indy_wannabe]

I'm nice!

[ladyofluminosity]

Prickly, please. You can move soon.

[Then you can spike him all you want. He deserves it.]

[action]

[indy_wannabe]

[Prickly coos and does as she's told]

[action]

[ladyofluminosity]

[She sighs, finishing up with her sketch at that angle and starting on her notes. She'll then move behind her, starting again.]

Thank you for being patient with me. Both of you.

[She stops.]

That reminds me, I'm not sure if I properly thanked you for the other day.

[action]

[indy_wannabe]

It was no problem, really.

[action]

[ladyofluminosity]

But you took the brunt of the damage from those spearow, just for a stranger's sketchbook!

[action]

[indy_wannabe]

Eh, I'm fine. It wasn't that bad.

[action]

[ladyofluminosity]

You were hurt! We will need to return to Union to resupply bandages alone, not to mention antidotes--not that that is your fault, Prickly.

[action]

[indy_wannabe]

No, that's totally your fault Prickly.

[Dodge]

I was generally fine. I'm an Electric type, a few birds aren't gonna do much to me.

[action]

[ladyofluminosity]

[Tough guy, the wrap around your head says different.]

Even so, we are running precariously low; you will need to be the one to resupply.

[action]

[indy_wannabe]

Honestly, I was planning to head back for a bit to meet up with the mine search team, so plenty of time to resupply.

[action]

[ladyofluminosity]

Mine search party?

[action]

[indy_wannabe]

Yeah, one of the Rangers is setting up an expedition, we're gonna check the caverns in the mountains to the east, see if we can find something.

[action]

[ladyofluminosity]

Is that wise? The mountains will be much worse than the lowlands.

[action]

[indy_wannabe]

The caves are underground and fairly low elevation, so they shouldn't be a major issue.

[action]

[ladyofluminosity]

But getting to them, will that not be dangerous?

[action]

[indy_wannabe]

A bit, maybe, but we're getting a pretty big group together so we should be all right.

[action]

[ladyofluminosity]

Might I come along? I am in no rush to return to Union, and as you have seen, I am not much of a fighter. I would be much more at ease traveling with someone.

[Beat.]

Unless I would get in the way. Then I will be on my way.

[action]

[indy_wannabe]

Yeah, feel free. Just check in with Jade, I'll give you his number so you can contact him. He's running the show but I definitely don't mind.

[action]

[ladyofluminosity]

[She looks surprised.]

You're certain?
