Aboard the Rum Cask

[Chloriosus]

Kastron ran up to Eldor, and stopped beside him, slightly gasping for breath, and handing over the cloth he still held clenched tightly in his hand whilst also watching the spectacle. Suddenly, he looked Eldor up and down. "Wait! Where be the egg?"

[wingfeather]

Eldor snatched the cloth and stooped down to wrap up the egg into it again, ''right here. What you don't think I can keep my eye on some dragon's egg,'' he asked eyeing Kastron.

[Chloriosus]

Kastron watched Eldor wrap the egg skeptically. "I went through a lot for that teardrop shaped cracker.", he said. "Oh boy what is Lindy up to?"

[wingfeather]

Eldor shrugged, not looking up as he wrapped the egg, ''don't know, she called me some pretty nasty things earlier, don't know what they meant though. After that she went yelling about something or other to Aunt Pessilys.

[Chloriosus]

Kastron eyed his cavorting Aunt who was still on her charge towards the dragon, which looked very much petrified because it had no idea what to do now. "That seems evident.", he answered. "Maybe we should build ourselves some sort of bunker out of the snow, like we did on the ship. Then we could battle it.", he said picking up some snow and then immediately trying to get it off his hands again.

[wingfeather]

Eldor looked down at him, ''what's up with you,'' he asked when he saw Kastron rubbing off the snow, a bunker would be a good idea, but then again what if the Aunt stepped onto it..... needless to stay this story would be at an end.

[Chloriosus]

Kastron finished rubbing off the snow. "The snow, that's what. It's freezing my hands off, I can't feel them anymore." He held out his hands and tried grasping fishing something out of his pocket as evidence. Faithfully, the fish hook stuck into his hand. Kastron pulled it out and held it up. "See? I don't feel a thing.", he said, half joyously.

[wingfeather]

Eldor looked at the hook protruding from Kastron's hand, ''if you rub yer hands together generally it brings the feeling back,'' he advised.

[Chloriosus]

Kass glanced at the hook, then pulled it out and started sucking on his blood. "I'll pass.", he said

[wingfeather]

Eldor shook his head, ''you know what? I bet this egg is even smarter than you are,'' he said with full belief of his statement, ''now come on, lets get back on the ship,'' he said turning around.

[Chloriosus]

Kastron frowned, then looked at Aunt. "Without Aunt Pessilys? Your jestin, right?"

[wingfeather]

Eldor turned around, ''are you saying you don't think she can care for herself? I wound not be the least bit worried for her if there were TEN dragons.''

[Chloriosus]

Kastron shook his head. "She could take a swarm, I'll be bound, doubtin her isn't an option, but I would very much doubt for OUR lives if we didn't wait for her. You see, theres a chance Gereway will cast off, he the type of person who leaves others behind when he's scared." He motioned towards Gerenway. To give you readers an idea of how Gereway was feeling right now, he was scittering about deck frantically whilst eating his fingernails.

[wingfeather]

Eldor rubbed his chin, ''hmm I catch your point, I suppose lets sit back and relax then,'' he looked at the Aunt who was swatting away at the dragon and yelling insults at it that pay Eldor's and Kastron's to shame. Eldor leaned into Kastron as he continued watching, ''she is very good isn't she,'' he said rather impressed by Aunt Pessilyses performance.

[Chloriosus]

Kastron pressed his lips together and widened his eyes. "You should have seen what she did that one time at---" At this point Emmalinda came back on the scene. She had finally found her executor in DK
