Gone Hunting.

Larissa walked with a bounce in her step. Though she'd been back a while now, she was still happy to be off that awful boat and back home.
Even though she was enjoying her time home, she still had to make money. She walked down the hall stopped at the door to Demon's room, and knocked loudly.

[Kender Bard]

"Yeah, come in!" Demon called out. Inside his room, he was sitting on the edge of his bed, studying a spread of cards on the floor. Opposite of him, Timble crossed his arms with a smug look of pure satisfaction.

"This game is stupid," Demon grunted.

"It's only as stupid as the player," the young man laughed. Demon gave a low growl.

Larissa entered the room and observed the scene before her. She laughed at Demon, and his frustration at the game.
" Having fun?" she asked. "Hey Demon, how's it going?"

[Kender Bard]

"Fine," he said moodily.

"Demon just lost at a child's game," Timble laughed and gathered his cards together, covering them with his hands when Demon tried to scatter them with his palm in anger.

"It's a poor game and I don't know why I let you talk me into playing," Demon complained. "What is it that you came for, Larissa?"

[Deleted]

"Who says I came here for something specific? Can't I stop by to say Hi? How are you?" She scuffed, standing with her arms crossed over her chest.

[Kender Bard]

"Yeah but that doesn't seem like you," Demon replied. "Usually you come 'round when you're looking for trouble."

"Where's trouble?" Timble asked eagerly.

Larissa tilted her head to the side at him. "Well you can't blame me for trying." She sighed. " I was thinking I'd take the mission in Humontis. Some monster slaying deal. You in?" She asked, smirking.

[Kender Bard]

"Aye, of course," Demon rejoined, smiling.

"Can I come?" Timble asked, trying to maintain a casual pose but failed miserably at it - he fairly quivered with the excitement at the prospect of going out.

Larissa looked to Demon. She didn't know Timble well enough to know if this was the sort of job that Timble should come along on.
Larissa shrugged. "Doesn't matter much to me I suppose." She said, waiting for Demon to give the final yes or no, being the senior member.

[Kender Bard]

"What are the specifics?" Demon asked. "What kind of monster is it?"

"Who cares, let's start slaying it," Timble urged. Demon smacked him lightly in the shoulder. "What? Oh don't give me that look."

"You might not be the kid we tease you to be," Demon consented. "But you're still fairly green. I mean, since your partner..."

Timble's eyes darkened and he turned away. "Well that's not my fault and I won't get experience sitting on my ass day in and day out."

"True," Demon agreed. "Well, Larissa, are you willing to keep an extra eye on him with me?"

[Deleted]

"Well I only have two and Forces know I have to keep one of them on you. But sure. I suppose we can do that. I don't know what kind of monster it is. It's something that they've found in the mines of Humontis, it wont' come out in the day, and so far no one's been able to kill it." She said leaning against the door frame. "When do you want to leave?" She asked him.

[Kender Bard]

"I'm always ready to go," Timble stated.

"I can be gone by tomorrow," Demon added. "Some of us enjoy a final night's sleep in a soft bed."

"Pfft," Timble snorted.

[Deleted]

Larissa nodded. " I agree. I rather enjoy the nice soft bed as oppose to the hard ground and bed roll." She smirked. "Besides, gotta let the old man get his rest too ya know." She smiled innocently at Demon.

[Kender Bard]

"Oh please," Demon snorted.

"You're both spoiled," Timble scoffed. "I spent countless nights sleeping out on the ground."

"Yeah, yeah, you're a tough one, we know," Demon said, patting Timble on the head. "Well let's all meet outside my room come the morning then, shall we?"

[Deleted]

Chuckling Larissa shook her head. "all right, sounds like a plan." She said as she uncrossed her arms and headed out to go pack and prepare for the trip to the mountain.
