Rose: Not even Crickets...

Rose nodded, as Wolf said he would follow Shal. Looking at Lord Avondale, she repeated that "He will."

Then she listened. And waited. And there was nothing.

Not even crickets.

Taran: Landing

Taran just shook his head as Flan came back from whatever mental break she had just taken. He worried about her stability, what with her ability to see and communicate depending on it. But there wasn't much for that now....

"Glad you're all right." he said simply, and then walked up to the pilot's chair and sat down. He took the controls, and guided the Dragonfly to the landing spot he had pointed out moments before.

Flipping the landing gear down, it only took a minute before they were down, and the engines were slowing to a stop.

He didn't even wait for the engines to stop completely before he got up.

"Let's get going. There are people waiting on us." he said. People they'd never met and whom were not expecting them were waiting for them, as well as others.

Nealiminity: Acid versus Knuckle

Nealiminity smilled and nodded as the whole barfull of patrons cheered for the drinks she had bought them. Then, as Manny said he'd make her a Knuckle and the bar erupted, she had to crack a smile. This should be good.

She watched with interest as Manny used some kind of force energy to pound down bottles of liquor into the smallest form possibly while still being liquid. As he finished, she raised an eyebrow questioningly. Then he offered her a room, and even a guiltless way out of drinking the Knuckle. She laughed.

"I'll take the room, and the drink, thanks." she said, and pulled the glass nearer to her. Inhaling deeply of the aroma wafting off the cup, she chuckled when a fellow near to her got woozy from the fumes, and fell over.

She raised the glass to her lips, winked to Manny, and took a gulp. Her eyes watered as she swallowed, and then she laughed out loud. This might be a nice little planet to hang out on for a while, after all. she thought.

"Now that's a good drink." Nealiminity said, feeling the burn of the alcohol down her throat. And considering she was a green dragon (and green dragons have acid breath) that was saying quite a bit. Nealiminity settled in, knowing that this drink would definately knock her off her legendary a**, quite literally, in about an hour. And that that might be a good change of pace for her.

Se'rox: In the Mud Puddle

After stepping over with Zuchax III, Se'rox was surprised to find a mud puddle there, but more surprised at Zuchax III's reaction to it. He instantly tried putting up a barrier to protect the two of them from it. As if Se'rox- of all people! - needed to be protected from mud!!

She was about to say something, when he obviously remembered, and then he suddenly disappeared. She started to turn towards where he had been, when she got knocked down by something suspiciously gentle. Her suspicion of it being Zuchax III was confirmed when he "fell" on top of her.

She sighed and shook her head. He knew she hadn't fallen, but the ruse was... odd.

"You know, Zuchax III, you don't have to pretend to fall to get this close to me." she said, smiling.
