Buttons and Bones

"I mean, only if he wants to. I'm not going to kidnap him if he doesn't want to go. I just understand the overbearingly protective family thing." Saige thinks for a minute. "You and Miquella both say he's a Prince, but I still don't really understand what that means? If he wants to go adventure he should get to. Connor too."

She tries to follow where Storm is looking.

"What's the first thing we should do? Look for Mr. Spiky Bone Man? Mushrooms? Rocks?"

"He's the next heir to the Draconian kingdom. Uhhh.. He's really important to my people? Does that help any?" She grins at Saige. "Well, once we drop off these supplies we can do whatever we want for a few days sooooo... Hmmmm. It's tough to choose what to do first. Maybe we could set up the trap for Mr. Spiky Bone man and then while we wait for dark again, we can search for rocks."

"Okay okay so... drop off the supplies, then we gotta find a big rock. Like a really big, really nice rock to set the button on."

Saige looks around.

"Where are we going again? Is it a town?"

"Yup. We should be there soon though."

A town comes into view and after another hour they enter the town. They head to the designated place to drop off the supplies and then stash the cart and horses in a stable. Once they are ready, they head back out into the woods.

"So. Big rock to put the button on right?"

"Yep!"

Saige begins to look around, studying rocks very carefully, picking up some small ones as she goes. She finds a large rock, inspects it, climbs up on it, only to shake her head and move on. She repeats this process for about half an hour before finding a moss covered stone, partially eroded by a nearby stream. She sits there for a minute in silence, eyes closed, before hopping back down. She turns to Storm.

"This one. Its name is Dale."

Saige sets the button on top, adding a wildflower for good measure.

"Alright. Now we just have to wait. What do you want to do now?"

Storm puts her hands on her hips and looks around at the open area next to the forest that they found. "Well, we should stay close in case Mr. Spikey Bone Man shows up but I think that won't happen til night time. So. Want to see if we can find any neat herbs or rocks or something?"
