--- Adventure 1 ---

"How can you judge a person only after a short conversation , you don't know how many things I have been through !"

Her cheeks turned up slightly red .

"And , you can't scare me.... I might be sometimes sensible , but that's a part of a human beeing. Oh please , who am I trying to explain all these? You're just like a stone... cold with no feelings . Or at least , you want to leave this impression. I know it's very important to be strong these days , but let's not forget our human part, shall we? "

Duro'than pretended not to here what Angy said.

"Yes, i think we should get going soon. There have allready been enough events in here. Time to move on."

He got up and went to gather his stuff.

"It's almost dawn. I will go ahead and search for some bigger animals to hunt"

She blinked.

*great...this is how it goes , I souldn't have told them ....*

"Whatever...." she said , finally.

"Oh really? That's how I come across?" Thorn laughed. He hadn't been so amused since he lost the bet in his mind, which of the girls would help Drogo first. "We've all seen rough times, kitten, believe me."

He gave a sharp whistle. Better not shake the wolf awake. This should do better and safer.

*Kitten , eh? That...that...that bastard*

However , she smiled at him.

" At least you laughed..and you called me kitten" she said amused.

Thorn was still grinning and shaking his head in amusement when he bent over the gnome. Drogo seemed to have sealed his ears shut, the whistle had no effect whatsoever on him. Thorn shook him vigourously.

"Up, the ra'azac's here to get'cha."

Drogo was startled from his sleep and instantly jumped up with a look of terror on his face. "What? Where?"

"Nowhere, you gawk. And if they were, you'd only realise it in their stomach, the way you sleep". Thorn was still chuckling to himself when he gathered what suff he had and put his bag over his shoulder. He then leaned nonchalantly on a nearby tree to wait for the others to get ready. "Up for a hunt today, big guy?" He called over to Duro'than. He was in remarkably good mood. He grinned at Angy. "Actually... my best of moods, kitten."

"Great...at least one of us is in his best shape"

She laughed when she saw Thorn waking up the little gnome.

"Yeah , you made me feel better too... no one told me kitten before"

Three little kittens they lost their mittens, and they began to cry,

"Oh mother dear, we sadly fear that we have lost our mittens."

"What! Lost your mittens, you naughty kittens!

Then you shall have no pie."

"Meeow, meeow, meeow, now we shall have no pie."

Thorn grinned and started to move on. If he was to scout, better start right now.

Rissa woke up slowly enough for an adventure trip. She thought to take her human form, for this day, but since the snow wasn't actually the thing to go with 2 legs (she wasn't yet all acomodated with her two shapes) she renounced at the ideea. Untill everybody will be up, she didn't mind to help with anything.

Ias became more visible when the first rays of sun were there. A black dot in the snow is not easy to miss. He didn't sleep, he did what he always does when the nights are restless - thinking at his stories and lyrics and making new ones. He would love some day to have a good audience for which to sing his memories.

"I have heard all your conversation" Ias said, as he wasn't actually that far from the three. "I do believe you, but one step forward to your growing up is this: try to see that there are some beeings that had seen more than you and for those, time may make them insensitive to other's problems. You don't have to feel insulted or left aside. I has seen you cry... I do it alot... "

"Hey! Morning is here!" Rissa shouted all of a sudden, leaving free a short howl and... then returning to her previous position to continue watch the others.

"Nice "poem" ...."said Angy half of her laughing , but half of her longing to say something nasty to the elf.

After a few moments , she said in a bright tone :

"Good morning Rissa , it's good to see you so cheery. Well..shal we move on? Time is golden... we shouldn't waste it."
