You guys are a blast.

*alarmed* Don't die of boredom yet, Rad ... and that is DEFINITELY modified.


With Searac receding behind them, Copper turned to Defalcon.
"Hey Defal ... you remember when we were talking about least favorite worlds ..."
"Yeah."
"I said I'd let you know when I'd found mine?"
"Yeah ..."
"I found it."
"What, Searac? Why, because you found out who the Kiyrenin leader was?"
"No ..."
"What, then?"
"See, I have this thing ... I can't really swim well."
"OH."
"Yeah."
"I got the point."
"I figured you might. Is Shinyso up yet?"
"He is, and wishing he wasn't," Shinyso's familiar voice said. She turned to see him leaning against the door, his injuries bandaged. "Thanks," he continued. "Though I really don't feel like thanking you. This hurts like hell. Actually, worse."
"You have Sai to thank for that," she said. "Don't blame me."
"Who said I did? Not me."
"Well, tell Sai that you owe him three claws in the ribs."
"Will do ... he probably deserves them, too." He left, Defalcon following, apparently needing to make sure that Shinyso wasn't going to go berserk on them any time soon, leaving Copper alone.
Radium came in. "Have you got a few moments?"
"Sure. What is it?"
"When we were on Carrotus, when we went to see your grandmother Skiye, she told me something that I was to tell you when we left Searac."
"And ... ?"
"'Frostfire is waiting.'"
"Frostfire?"
"That's what she said."
"I guess that the next stop is Carrotus then."
"Hey, would you mind telling me what Frostfire is?"
"It's Skiye's old sword. She knew that I was going to lose Shale ... and if she told you to tell me after we left Searac, she knew that too. Why couldn't she just have told me what was going to happen?"
"I have no idea."
"Sure. Want to come?"
"Nothing better to do. Why not?"
"Why not indeed ... "

Haha, one part left. Should I post it now or wait for you all to expire?
