Aboard the Rum Cask

[Chloriosus]

"Because I usually don't like to waste my already shallow breath on you.", Kastron said airily, starting to go out the door.

[wingfeather]

Eldor guffawed, ''ya whatever, you waste your breath all the time talking like an airbag,'' he said once it was settled comfortably, ''anyways, now that we've got the egg done with we've got to find our own hiding place.''

[Chloriosus]

Kastron stopped on his way out the door. "Im going to get stray and stuff from aunts bed to make a softer spot for the egg.", he explained. "But you do have a valid point there."

[wingfeather]

''Oh that is a good idea, i'll sneak into Emmalinda's room and take the blanket she used for Muttonbutt,'' he said following Kastron, ''I guess we'll worry about ourselves later, duty first,'' he said with importance.

[Chloriosus]

Kastron nodded. "Absolutly. At this point judging by al that we've gone through this little guy must be more valuable than ourselves."

[wingfeather]

''He most definitely is,'' Eldor nodded, ''and a lot of other people would think so as well.''

[Chloriosus]

Kastron stealthily approached aunts room before slipping inside it. "It most certainly is, and if Emmalinda gets her hands on it and trains it I'm jumping off this ship midocean for a better chance at life with the cannibals and sharks."

[wingfeather]

''Agreed,'' Eldor answered shuddering with horror at the thought of Emmalinda getting her nasty manipulative hands upon their precious egg. He continued on his way towards her room, lucky for them though, it seemed that the ship was devoid of crew members for the moment.

[Chloriosus]

Kastron clambered over to aunts bed and began jumping upon it. "Put of disrespect.", he explained solemnly, before hopping off it and taking care to put the bedsheets EXACTLY the way they had been. "Ok, so now we have to get some of the things that are in the matress, like straw, wool and such."

[wingfeather]

Eldor pulled out his knife and cut a good sized hole underneath the bed so it couldn't t be seen, ''yes now lets get to work,'' he said stuffing his hands in with a gleam in his eye.

[Chloriosus]

Kastron grinned and took off his shirt, tying the ends in knots. "Now we have a sack.", he announced proudly. "However, with these temperatures I will need it back fairly soon, so lets hurry this up a bit." He joined Eldor in ripping the stuffing out of the matress and putting it in his pockets, his shirt sack, and secretly putting some down Eldor's shirt as well.

[wingfeather]

''Ugh it's full of holes,'' he said as he helped fill the sack, secretly stuffing some Kastron's boots at the same time along with a few icicles he found underneath the bed.    

[Chloriosus]

Kastron began packing down the stuffing even harder in his sack. "We'll need enough to last this egg and eggshell time, because such a good chance to steal matres stuffing doesn't come around too much."

[wingfeather]

''I agree,'' Eldor said pushing the stuff down so he could make more room, ''do you think we have enough now?'' Suddenly he pulled out a broken mop stick, ''is this the... first,'' he asked with a gulp.

[Chloriosus]

Kastron started hitting his head against the bed and the floor in frustration. "Yes, it is!", he said with horror in his voice. "It is the one, the only,", his breath hitched as he sated with disbelief at the seemingly innocent broken and mauled piece of wood and his whisper dropped to mere breath "the first mopstick."
