Chapter Five: Bizarre Bazaar

Atemu made himself puzzle over Shimon's scrolls, which contained detailed, but extremely cryptic notes about the pieces of the Ultimate Dragon. All he could think about, however, was Mana. Dozens of horrible scenarios played through his mind by the time his magicians returned. No news, good or ill, did they bring. There

Missed you dear! *huggles*

Needless to say, Amelda certainly got a surprise when he awoke. The loud noise made his eyes snap open instantly, as he rolled over only to smack face first into the floor, forgetting that's where he had been laying all night.

As he rubbed his face groggily, the thief managed to look up and see Mana standing over him. Trying, but faltering, to put on a brave face, he managed to smile slightly at her.

"Well at least I didn't oversleep today, thanks Mana." he said, sitting up carefully, still a little weary he had no shirt on in front of this girl. However, at the moment he was somewhat preoccupied with any bruises that would form on his chest due to the impact with the hard floor.

Missed you too, dah'ling! *snuggles*

"Ehehe, sorry about that," Mana giggled cutely, making her apology sound somewhat insincere. She had always been a morning person, often irritating her fellow mage apprentices with a seemingly bottomless pit of cheerfulness.

"I hope that you slept well!" she said as she kneeled beside him, oblivious to his slight embarassment. "I still feel bad that you had to sleep on the floor. You take the bed next time, all right?"

Before he could argue, Mana suddenly changed the subject. "What are we going to do today?"

Must do as much as possible before you have to go on your trip. ^^ *megaglompage*

Trying to compose himself as well as take in the information just thrown his way, the male checked for anyscrathes to his torso while he processed the question in his mind. What could they do

Yupyup XD *ultraglompage*

But just to let ya know, I'll be gone for the next two days for a sleepover. ;)

"Hmm, yeah, that would be kinda bad," Mana mused. If ever there was an understatement! But it was good to hear him say that he would take her home. She really wanted to tell her Prince how Amelda had saved her and taken care of her. Thieves could be good people, after all!

Optimistic despite the young man's tone, she stood up and straightened her skirt. Her clothing was a bit dirty, still a little dusty from her accident in the temple. It was one of the traditional, female mage's clothing, and it had been one of her favorite outfits. Though saddened for a moment, an idea sparked in her head.

"Maybe they wouldn't notice so much that I'm a mage if I had new clothing?" she hinted heavily. Nothing would cover-up the telltale markings about her eyes, markings all magicians had, but there were other ways to blend in a crowd.

And she desperately wanted to see what the other Kingdom was like. Besides just getting out of the cramped, tiny attic.
