Safe And Sound

Outlaw latches onto the word brave, appearing to be proud of being praised. Smile grows as he talks about his raft and how he saw fish. Meadow longs for the days of being a carefree youth with nothing to do but explore. It is true that she still acts like a pup most of the time but she has matured enough to take on responsibilities and help others. Listening to his story, she looks fearful for a moment when he falls in the water in his tale but relieved when he climbs back on the raft.

When Meadow talks of the hot springs and her hut, Outlaw seems to be very excited about it. His questions slow to a more normal rate and with a bright smile she says, “Oh you would love it! There is a lot of sun outside and, in my hut, I have lanterns that light everything up. They hang from the ceiling and cast their light through the whole hut. Yes, hot springs are pools of water that bubble up and are hot enough to be relaxing but not enough to burn. You should come visit me sometime!”

Outlaw looks around and asks what makes it glow and Meadow honestly has no idea. He mentions magic and how his uncle’s mate ate fish. With a shrug, she tells him, “I don’t know what makes them glow. I just know they are beautiful. Sometimes, a little mystery makes things more… wonderful. Maybe that is the magic.” Her talk of finding something super-secret or even treasure has Outlaw wagging hard and she immediately regrets her words.

Damn. Looks like one of the trinkets in her bag will have to be buried so that he can find some treasure. His questions make Meadow hem and haw for moment before she says, “I bet they are buried. There might be a cave, I have never been here before. I don’t know about a shiny box but I bet whatever we find will be shiny.” Quickly she thinks over what she has that is shiny to bury. Moving to Outlaw’s side, Meadow allows her friend to lead the way as they explore.
