Into the desert *DEPRECIATED*

Dahlia leans away, then reaches out and smacks Stu. "And here we thought something horrible had happened!" She scoffs. "Jerk!"

Mots tries to discretely high-five Elros.

Stu rolls on the ground laughing. "Where did you learn to hit?" He exclaims.

"I didn't!" Dahlia sticks her tongue out at Stu and flits up to a tree branch, perching herself upon it.

"From the way you guys are talking," Daest says sitting up, "I'm going to guess they are."

"Oh that was rich" Stu says wiping a tear from his eye.

"I think I may have reopened my wound" He reaches down to touch his stomach. He lifts his hand from the wound and there is blood on it.

"You've caused me to bust my gut!" He shouts as he beings to laugh once more.

Even Dahlia begins to laugh at this, almost falling off her branch.

Stu, now out of breath, realizes again their situation.

"Well... perhaps they saw us laughing at their futile attack and ran away." He says with a smirk.

"But stay on guard in case, I like my neck the way it is; without slices."

Dahlia wiggles til her back is against the tree. "I liked my cheek that way, too."

"You look like less of a namby pamby insect now. Looks like you might be able to do something to someone."

Dahlia scowls at Stu. "Saying I'm not tough?"

"that is exactly what he is trying to say, in his own way."

"Alright then, I'll just sit here until somebody acknowledges me. Actually scratch that," Daest says, standing up, "I have to piss."

He then starts to walk off away from the group.

"HI, DAEST!!" Dahlia screams after him.

"So, about that pixie queen I get to cut open." Stu says with excitement.

"Do you want me to look for the stick that lodged in her ass?" Stu laughs.

Elros looks at Stu "Something is wrong here' why are we still alive?" He looks around.

Stu flexes "This is why" He says sarcastically.

Dahlia looks around. "This is odd."

"If you've got something you've been meaning to do, I suggest you take care of it now. They'll be back. And we best be ready."

Dahlia floats down from the branch. "And better hurry. Never know when they're gonna attack."

"What do you want to bet Daest got his ass captured again?" Stu laughs. "I don't feel like another rescue mission."

Dahlia giggles. "If he does, it sucks to be him!"

Urijoshi catches up to the group. "So, what did I miss?"

"being captured wasn't fun ok. they came out of nowhere and started to attack." styx then takes a second to ponder the thought that just came into his head.

"why would they let us live if they had the jump on us, why didn't they just kill me and daest?"

"I don't know," Daest says, walking back towards the group, "But I'm pretty glad they didn't.

And I'm glad to think you all think so highly of me."
