Unlikely alliance [Treasure Haul] (Private: Amisi)

[Bear Etelka (Sarah)]

A small cloud of sand seemed to blow though the Desert island. It was quite hot out, the sun was high up in the sky, and beating down, making the sand and desert grass heat up even more then it already was.

It was probably one of the most unlikely places to find anyone living, or even being there...unless they had a purpose...treasure. yes the treasure hidden in this sandy hot desert, treasure that would make allot of people brave the heat.

There was a Figure in the distance, it seemed to be crouched down on all fours, looking at something with a smile on its face. It seemed to be wearing bits of fur, despite the hot weather, and little tufts of hair on the sides of his head made to look like puppy ears, along with a pair of thick glasses situated so gently upon its nose.

Was this figure looking at treasure?! no...Not at all. far far from that. he appeared to be looking at a plant. Hunched down on all fours, with his face directly in front of the thing, with a book open so neatly under one of his hands. and whatever this plant is, he looked really excited to find it.

" oh wow! wow wow wow!" his voice yipped out excitedly" I.. I cant believe it.. this plant has been so hard to find!! and its so neat!! look at the pink bulb! and a blue Spots, and the mint green leafs!! WOW! This is great!" he smiled wider and got closer to the plant.

The plant seemed to almost move, with bulb turning toward the excited strange looking nerdy boy.

The boys eyes lite up at this "WOAH! Its like it could hear me, look at it..it..it.."

He was suddenly stopped when the bulb seemed to rear back, and spit at the boy.

"IT SPIT IN MY EYE!! " he yelped and quickly falling back onto his back and holding his left eye "AHH AHH! It..It spit in my eye! I did not see that comeing..AHH AHH AHH! How the heck did it get the spit under the glasses.."

Not exactly the type you would think would be out looking for treasure eh?. But in truth, this boy knew nothing of the treasure. He was simply there to research at the moment, his name? Gazetto Rinban, But, most people shortened his name To Gazzy.


He stopped his screaming a moment when he started to feel something. Then started yelping again.


"AHHHHHHHH ITS BURNING NOW!! " he started rolling on the ground a little bit

"Why do my great discoveries have to be so painful!!!"

[amisi]

Orion Mercer. He smirked up at her from his wanted poster, his perfect lips curving mockingly over the carefully printed B20,000,000. Look at that smug bastard, thought Valentina, glaring a bit at the poster. What would she give to just slap that smile off his face? He’d led her to this stupid island with the unbearable heat and sand EVERYWHERE because he was hunting for treasure like a good (dumb) little pirate. And what the hell was going on with the plants and animals? There was a giant freaking BIRD wandering around, if the footprints pressed into the sand weren’t just some weird natural phenomenon.

Well, whatever. Calm down. Find this jerk, take him out, collect the bounty, rinse, repeat. The bounty hunter finally looked up from the slip of paper, squinting against the sun even in the shade of an enormous palm tree. That was definitely Mercer’s ship anchored offshore, and two long rowboats on the beach probably belonged to his crew… though the dinghy a little further down the beach was really throwing her off. It wasn’t a set with the others. Had someone different brought it along?

Probably another treasure hunting loser. Valentina adjusted her sunglasses and slung her net gun over her back along with her shotgun. Her pole net had been left in her boat, because the prospect of lugging it around in the blazing heat made her want to scream. She set off, jacket tied loosely around her waist. She was no tracker—sleeping in ditches once or twice had been the closest she’d ever gotten to nature—but a series of snapped vines and huge trampling footprint clued her in that she was on someone’s trail. Hopefully it wasn’t just destruction left over from the people before Mercer.

The footprints broke off—three sets went forward, one set went to the side. Valentina stopped, perplexed, and lifted her sunglasses to get a better look. Someone in the group had just wandered off alone? On this island? It would take a serious dummy to do something like that. Maybe the others were using him as a decoy.

Or hey, maybe it was Mercer. Valentina picked the solo set and followed it faithfully around rocks and through a small patch of jungle. What the hell? Whoever this guy was, he had no idea where he was going. It was like he was just wandering around. Wouldn’t Mercer have had a map or something?

Who could understand pirates? Valentina went on walking and yawned widely as she stepped into a clearing—with a person writhing on the ground before her. ”Ehhh?” They were wearing a crapload of fur, whoever they were, especially considering the heat. Oh, a man. A boy. Just a little guy, really, wearing glasses and what appeared to be animal ears, though she couldn’t tell while he screamed about spit like that. ”Geez, what happened to you?” said Valentina, standing calmly over Gazzy and gazing down at him.

[Bear Etelka (Sarah)]

Gazzy grumbled and kept rolling on the ground, rubbing his eye a bit " AHHH I GOT SPIT AT IN THE..." he stopped and yelped, opening both his eyes, though the one that got spit in was kind of red from the burning he felt in it. He didn't expect to hear anyone else voice.

His face went into a blush and he seemed to yelp seeing that he was looking up at a girl now. He squeaked and quickly jumped to his feet , accidentally knocking off his glasses with a Yelp" uihh..w..well Ma'am Uhh.. I well uhh.. "he seemed to get really really nervous all of a sudden .clambering to pick up his glasses, as well as his book from the ground.

He finally found them and he put the glasses back on and held the book against himself like it was a treasure or something. his face red and blushy, his eye red and burning. He seemed to back up a little bit, Taking a deep breath in order to calm Down.

He fianlly calmed down enough to speak. "Uhh..W..wEll Ma'am..w..waht happened was.. I was trying to studdy that plant..a..and I god so excited about finding it I got to close and it..uhh..well..." he blushed even more and nervously looked down "w..Well It spit in my eye..and it started burning quite a bit.. gah.. "he held his eye where it was hurting and let out a grumble.

" One moment..." He seemed to crouch down and started looking though the bulky medical bag he had with him. and the boy smiled pulling out a bottle of this green looking liquid, he smiled and took a dropper out. putting some of the liquid in and on his hurt eye, smiling and putting the stuff back in the bag.

"there.. much better.. the bit of redness will take awhile to go down..but that really dose help" he seemed to talk to himself about hat he just used.

He finally turned back to Valentina, His face still red" O..Oh I'm sorry..I..Its rude of me n..not to introduce myself..." he bowed Gently, still looking super nervous" M..My name Is.. " she gulped some" My name is Gazetto Rinban..B..But most people know or call my by Gazzy..." he carefully unbowed and picked his bag up. Looking at Valentina a bit "w..Who are y..you..m..ma'am?" he asked, still being very polite about it. he was pretty embarrassed cause she saw him on the ground rolling and yelling like that.

[amisi]

The spit boy leapt to his feet, managing to knock his glasses off in the process, stammering and blushing all over himself. Not one more of those types… E-excuse me miss, I was just w-wondering if I… I could buy you a drink? Pleeeeease. Grow a pair.

At least it looked like he was calming down a little. He went on to say that he’d been studying some plant when he got too close and it spit in his eye. A hand was placed over the afflicted eye while the boy grumbled in pain for a moment. Well. Another mystery explained, then. Valentina watched Gazzy sort through a bag of medical stuff, finally coming up with a little bottle filled with green water. He dripped some into his eye and smiled with relief as the bounty hunter looked on in boredom. Why hadn’t he just done that in the first place instead of getting himself dirty flailing around?

The footprints had belonged to this weird fuzzy naturalist doctor guy. Stupid! Why hadn’t she gone after the group of three? If Mercer wrapped things up and left the island before she could get her claws into him, she didn’t know what she would do. Scream, probably. Her new friend turned back to her and introduced himself with much formality and bowing and blushing. Gazetto Rinban. Gazetto… like gazette. And Rinban like… Rinban. Easy enough to remember, not like she cared anyway.

Valentina pointed to herself with a perfectly lacquered thumbnail. “Valentina.” Now she leaned forward, pointing an index finger with chipping red nail polish at young Gazetto Rinban. “Listen, I’m in a hurry. Have you seen a guy named Orion Mercer around here? Tall guy, pretty hot, dark hair? Probably had some goons with shovels with him?”

She doubted that Gazzy would still be alive if Mercer had seen him, but maybe the kid got scared and hid from them. Something moved in the foliage, a little deeper than the spitting plant Gazzy had been expecting, and Valentina leaned around him to get a better look. Their mysterious visitor hopped out, chirping happily up at Gazzy and Val. ”Huh? A bird?”

It was small and adorable, with pink feathers and a beak that seemed to curve into a smile. Valentina frowned at it, unmoved. ”I don’t have any food, featherbrain. Just move along.”

[Bear Etelka (Sarah)]

Gazzy Blinked, Listening to her ask if he had seen any one named Orion on the island. He shook his head." No.. I don't believe I have.. "he finally said a complete sentence without stammering it out. He pushed up his glasses with one finger. "though I knew some other people were here, by the other vessels on the island the disturbance in the land, the broken branches, and the noises I've been hearing at night." he nodded his head some.

"Ive been seeing allot of weird things here, though I have no clue why other people would be on this island.. I mean..it seems to be mostly desert, and Desert isn't known to support human life very well, with the limited water and the hit days , most find this weather to be unbearable" he nodded his head" looking at his medical bag and smiled 'luckily I brought plenty of water so my research can continue without me having to resupply!' he thought, having a big grin on his face.

By the way he spoke he was obviously quite smart,despite him fumbling around earlier. The book that he had was jammed full of paper, notes, and drawings that he had taken from what he had seen. He seemed to put the book down a second, before taking off his glasses and cleaning them with a part of his shirt in order to clean any of the dust off them from them falling off form his spazz attack.

"T..Though... "he seemed to go back into stammering a bit." I.. I did...well.. I id find something earlier while studying some type of nut in one of the trees.. I found something under that said tree atleast... I.. I seemed to have found a...."

He stopped in mid sentence at seeing the bird. he smiled some and crouched down, offering his hand to the little pink thing "well hello there little fella "he said with a smile on his face, seeming to forget completely that he was about to tell Valentina what he had found.

The pink bird chirped happily to Gazzy, before hopping onto his hand.

Gazzy seemed to smile more" heh.. bet your hungry little fella huh?" he asked before reaching into his pocket and pulling out a small amount of seeds, offering them to the small bird by putting them in his palm. "these seeds came from one of the flowers I saw earlier, allot of the animals around were eating them" he said, seeming to speak to the bird.

The bird didn't mind the talking, it seemed to go right for the seeds and started eating them out of the boys hands. him gently petting the small thing on the head with one finger.

yep..it appeared, thanks to the distraction of the bird, the boy forgot completely about what he was about to tell Valentina.

[amisi]

Valentina pushed her sunglasses up and glared at Gazzy from beneath the frames. The bird had come hopping up and he’d just STOPPED what he was saying to feed it seeds. Short attention span much? ”Hey, nature boy! What was that you were saying? What did you find?” The bird gulped down the last of the seeds and hopped on over to Valentina, peering expectantly up at her. ”Go away!” she said, making a mean face. The bird chirped and fluttered its wings. ”I don’t even have food for ME, much less any to share with YOU.”

Of course, it was a bird; it didn’t understand things like “go away” or “no food.” It stayed put, smiling up at Valentina with that peculiar beak. Ugh. Whatever, she’d just ignore it. She turned her gaze back up to Gazetto, frowning a little and painfully aware of the little blob of pink just below her vision. It began to hop up and down, apparently intent on getting her attention now that she wanted nothing to do with it.

If Valentina had turned around and looked up and slightly to the left, she would have found a very good reason to be nice to the little bird. An enormous version of it came lumbering around a giant rock, blocking out the sun over Gazzy, Val and the little bird as it came to a halt.

[Bear Etelka (Sarah)]

The boy seemed to squeak some. "Oh.sorry... heh the little fella just got my attention was all. "He said, watching the pink little thing flutter over to Valentina. who obviously did not want the little fella there at all.

But he shook his head a little bit and started trying to fumble though his pockets to find something. "Where... where did I put it I,,, Ah! here it is!" he smiled and seemed to pull out a folded up piece of Paper. " I found this under the tree. Someone must of took a rest there. now its only a piece of this something I believe. but I believe its a piece to a...a..."

His words stopped again, feeling the sun being blocked out behind him. He seemed to let out a small squeak and pushed the piece of paper back into his pocket. Then he slowly turned around to see a very large pink bird staring down at the both of them, and the little pink bird seeming to tweet happily at its appearance.

The Large bird squawked and seemed to glare at Valentina who had the tiny similar bird perched on her. It doesn't seem to like its baby real close to someone.

"ohh..h..hello there...mama bird " he said, seeming to let out another squeak. At least he had a good reason to stop his sentence now, the very big bird could catch anyone's attention.

The Large bird seemed to step forward toward the two and Gazzy automatically stepped back. "Heh..Its Okay mama bird.. your little one just came to get some food is all uhh.." he always spoke to the animals, even though they couldn't understand him, he started looking though his pockets trying to see if he could find more of those seeds, finding another small amount of them.

"S..see?" this time he set them on the ground, he wasn't sure if he wanted the monstrously sized bird feeding out of his hand, that might be painful.

The little bird, or baby bird like Gazzy guessed, fluttered down from Valentina and started to peck at the seeds put in the ground, along with the large bird, though it still seemed to give Valentina a weird look.

Gazzy smiled some and looked at Valentina "Uhh.. I suggest we move out of this area..thats all the seeds I brought.. and I'm guessing big birdy will want more" he sweat dropped.

[amisi]

Valentina impatiently reached out for the piece of paper Gazzy had found. Maybe it was her lucky day after all. If the kid ended up handing her a map she could just hurry there and let Mercer come to her, no more trekking through sand and bugs required. Of course, it could be something useless like the wanted poster she already had or some stupid newspaper clipping, but she didn’t want to think about that.

The sun vanishing froze her hand halfway to the map. Valentina turned slowly with Gazzy, lifting her sunglasses to her forehead as she went. The bird that had been so determined to bother her hopped away at last, apparently happy to see its huge… friend.

Oh god. It was glaring at her. Valentina gave it her best glare back through force of habit, but when it stepped forward her fearlessness quailed and she stumbled back behind Gazzy, who was speaking to it in a soothing voice. The bounty hunter watched incredulously as Gazzy rifled through his pockets and came up with a small handful of seeds, spilling them gently on the ground as an offering to Birdzilla and Birdzilla Jr. While the birds were distracted, he quietly suggested to her that they leave. Valentina’s glare renewed itself.

”Way to give it an appetizer, nature boy!” she said with an edge of panic to her voice. ”What if it follows us now?!” Birdzilla looked up at her sharp tone of voice and let out a long, emphatic squawk. Valentina was ashamed to let out a terrified half-scream with the bird lifted its enormous feathery head and gave her a hard nudge on the torso with its beak, sending her staggering back several feet. ”Hey!!” bellowed Valentina. The bird glared and did it again, this time making Valentina stumble and fall onto her behind in the foliage Gazzy had been studying earlier. ”Okay, geez! I’m sorry or whatever!” Birdzilla seemed satisfied by this and turned her head to her chick, giving it a little nuzzle as it finished the last of the seeds. ”Let’s just get the hell out of here!”

The bounty hunter sprang to her feet and went to grab Gazzy’s wrist, intending to drag him back toward the beach. She liked beaches. There were hardly any giant bird monsters there.

[Bear Etelka (Sarah)]

The nerdy boy pushed his glasses up again. "because. if I didn't give the thing the seeds it might of been more angry, asides its just being a protective mother" he said gently, he held his book tightly against himself again. He seemed interested in watching the birds, and smiled when the huge one cuddled with the by one "aww isn't that sw...eeeeeet!"

His last words were elongated when Valentina grabbed onto his Wrist and pulled him away from the bird watching and with her to head up toward the beach. The boy made sure to grab a hold of hos Medical bag before the pulling started, not wanting to leave the old tattered thing there, it was rather important to him after all.

He squeaked some, he was a bit surprised by this, he didn't expect the girl to bring him with her. course he did have something that might of caught the girls interest. He ran trying to keep his pace up with the Girl. She was probably a little more fit then he was, he wasn't exactly the poster child of a super fit person.

Stumbling and trying to to fall was what Gazzy had his mind on at the moment as he was being tugged along. Making sure he dint drop anything or loose his glasses along the way as well.

Once they finally came to a stop at the Beach. Gazzy seemed to let out a very long sigh and started panting some. "Heh..Heh... running...Running is not my strong suit" he said rubbing some of the sweat that started to bead up on his head a bit. He placed his hand that was free on his side a bit as he tried to catch his breath.

His glasses started to slide again. He pushed them up once more and sighed. "heh...heh.. My glasses...l..like too... they like to slide... slide allot" his words were broken up thanks to him trying to catch his breath. It might of been easier if he didn't have that fur on his sleeves, waist, and around his neck.

[amisi]

Valentina hadn’t meant to tire the kid out. She just wanted to get away from Birdzilla, and quickly. Animals… they were just beyond her. How could anyone even relate to a bird? It had different genes and crap. Amoebas or something like that. Whatever.

”Come on, already,” said Valentina. She huffed a little and settled her sunglasses up into her hair, squinting down at Gazzy with a bare face for the first time. Honestly, she was feeling winded. Running wasn’t bad, but running on sand and sometimes dodging through undergrowth was something completely different. And sucky. Not that she’d ever admit it. That was her motto, kinda—never let them see you sweat. Her heavy right boot began to tap as she watched Gazzy try to catch his breath. ”I don’t have all day! I’m in a SERIOUS hurry, okay? What were you going to show me?”

She wiped her arm over her forehead, irritated at the sweat that was beading there. Ugh. It was so damn muggy. When she got back to civilization she was going to kick back with her money and take a spa vacation or something. Or maybe just drink a lot of expensive hooch. Yeah, that sounded good. Too bad she hadn’t brought any along. She’d polished off the last of her gin that morning before she left the inn.

[Bear Etelka (Sarah)]

Gazzy finally caught his breath, his greenish turquoise eyes looked up at her from under his glasses and he rubbed his head again" Oh yeah.. I almost forgot about that..l..lets see.." he started searching though his pockets again, Feeling, and searching for the folded up piece of paper that he had placed there before.

He finally found it and had a smile on his face. He pulled it out and showed her the Paper. " Here it is.. Like I said earlier I had found it under a tree when someone must of dropped it when they were taking a rest in the shade of it... and its only a piece but.."

he finally unfolded the paper carefully and reveled it." I found that Its a map! Or..at least part of one" he pushed his glasses. By the way it was printed it was a map atleast, The way the landmarks were shown and given, and the arrows that pointed out the ways though it.

" Its only part of the map though, the map itself seemed to have been torn, it might of gotten caught on something when the person who dropped this piece went to stand up, or maybe some people were fighting over it, either way... Its almost useless without th either part of it.." he blinked and turned the map so he could look at it.

"Either way.. I suppose whoever has the other part, is going to be looking for this part as well" . He pointed out " and I suppose whoever lost this piece might be in huge trouble with the person who wanted this map. Heh Bad luck I suppose" He started running his hand across the map, and h e yelped some "well..hello..." he stopped when he felt something raised on the page of the map, he looked down at it

" I didn't see this before..."

In the corner of the map, something was written in a language, with raised ink so it could be felt as well but not seen unless you felt it. It looked almost like scribbles on the paper, but the scribbles were made into some shapes and such that resembled words.

"Heh wow.. It's written in code kinda..well in a type of code, some pirates use it in order to keep people form finding what they don't want them to find" he moved his glasses a little bit. "Yep.. that's definitely a code.. and very well written I might add" he seemed to know allot about it. But it didn't seem that surprising in a way, the way the boy acted he was obviously a bookworm, he probably read it somewhere.

"Wonder if the owner of the other part knew about this little secrete here..."

[amisi]

A treasure map! Perfect! Now she could beat Mercer to the punch. But… wait a minute… did that make any sense? If SHE had the map, how was he going to find his way there? And like Gazetto pointed out, this was only a piece of the map and basically useless by itself. Luckily they seemed to have the part with the location of the treasure... maybe. Did X really mark the spot, or was that just some dumb pirate legend?

Gazetto turned the map back toward himself before she could make heads or tail of it. She scooted in next to him and leaned down over his shoulder, invading the slighter shorter boy’s personal space and not particularly caring. Her dark eyes roamed the map piece, following the arrows, but the topography was weird. It didn’t even look like a map of the right island. Her brow furrowed in irritation as Gazzy ran his hand over the paper and yelped in surprise. Valentina started and turned her head to frown at him over his shoulder, their faces only inches away as he chattered about the mysterious raised code.

”So, what’s it say?” asked Valentina after a moment, looking expectantly at Gazetto. He’d called the code well-written, right? That meant that he could tell the difference between well-written and gawdawful crappy, and that meant that he could read codes, and that meant that he was going to help her find the spot, though she’d probably let him take off before Mercer arrived since he didn’t look like much of a fighter. Maybe she’d even offer to split the bounty if he was useful enough. Maybe. ”If you can read this map we’d better get moving.”

[Bear Etelka (Sarah)]

Gazzy seemed to squeak when she was leaning over his shoulder. He wasn't really sued to anyone getting close to him, and she was leaning over him. He tried to keep his focus on the paper and not to turn and have anouther spazz attack. He gulped and rubbed the front of his glasses.

"W...w...well.. It's a little more complicated then just reading waht it says. a really well written code is very hard to crack, soo it will catually take me quite a while to figure out what the whole thing says " he nodded his head alittle bit.

"H,..however.." he pointed out on the map " We might have one of the more important pieces of it, but it doesn't tell us where to start off and look for whatever this map leads too..but.." he stared to swerve his finger in the air to make numbers in his mind and stair up at the sky, then he pointed at the map and seemed to almsot measure in his head. h e smiled" guessing by the way the line curves, and the way the map is shaped.. the direction to go is most likely.." he thought a moment again then Pointed. "that way."

He nodded his head a bit ' guess reading those books in mom and dads library was always a good thing' he thought to himself, closing his eyes a moment. ' and the book I have with me might help figure out the code too, that would be very very helpful..but wait huh?" he stopped his thoughts and listened to her.

"W..Wait..W..'We'd'? "he squeaked out "Y..you mean you want me t..to come with you?" he asked, he seemed to be rather surprised at that. He held the part of the map and was staring at her though his glasses. "you..you really want me to come with ..you?" he asked. He has a smile on his face now. It wasn't like the boy was used to people asking him to come along, it was a surprise to him.

Then something hit the boy, and made him look curiously" wait..what about that Guy you told me about earlier..the one you were looking for.. what about him?" he asked " I'm just very curious, I mean you had asked about it, and you seemed interested in finding him...why?"

[amisi]

From the smile on Gazetto’s face, it looked like he wasn’t exactly against the idea of going with her. His goofy smile was almost touching. But she couldn’t say she was crazy about him questioning her motives. If she told him that they’d be hunting down a dangerous pirate with the purpose of capturing him, the young naturalist would probably turn tail and run.

Valentina peered down at Gazetto, then turned away, suddenly looking intensely sad. ”Ex-boyfriend. He stole my cat when we broke up so now I’m getting it back. You’ll help me, won’t you?” Her voice had turned soft and pleading, and she turned back to Gazzy with a plaintive look in her eyes. ”I loved that cat, Gazetto-san. We’d been together since she was a kitten. And… and she gets so sad when she’s not with me, she won’t even eat!” This guy liked animals, right? Hopefully he’d buy it. Valentina prided herself on her skillful lying. ”I think he’s going to do something awful to her! If she got hurt because of me, I… I don’t think I’d be able to handle it!” Tears had sprung to her startlingly green eyes.

Pretty good. Usually she had to rub a piece of onion in her eyes to start the waterworks, but it was still tucked securely in a small plastic baggy in her jacket pocket.

[Bear Etelka (Sarah)]

Gazzys eyes seemed to soften as soon as she looked sad. his shoulders slumping and his eyes started to fill with concern for her. he put his arms at the side and just listened to her for a long wile. before he finally let out that little funny smile of his again and reached his hand out, putting it on Valentina in a comforting way.

"D..Don't worry Miss Valentina!!" he yipped quietly, his eyes shining a little bit. " I will go with you and Find this man!..a...and please don't cry.. I don't like to see anyone cry,epically someone like you. I will help!"

He closed his eyes and let out a comforting happy smile "and if we see it this way, If he's here looking for whatever this map leader too, and we have a main part of the map, Were Bound to find him for he will be looking for it.

He opened his turquoise colored eyes Again and turned the direction he had said earlier" If we follow the path, were bound to run into him! then we can get your dear kitty friend back! "He smiled more, his glasses seeming to glint some in the bright sun. " sa-chi, Hiroimono, ken Kyuujo, Miss Valentina, sa-chi, Hiroimono, ken Kyuujo "He smiled more. ( XD he said Search, find, and rescue ^^).

He looked forward a bit" however...beofre we head out into the middle of the boiling heat of the desert here..." he laughed some and crouched down, looking into the medical bag he carried with him. " Lets make sure there some water here..cause, in my experience, you do not wanna get stuck out in the desert without lots and lots of water...then again I suppose you can always get water from a cactus of some sort..but thats very hard to do and in the end you end up getting spines somewhere"

he laughed a little bit at that, and pulled out of the bad a few bottles and such that had water in them, looking at them all and nodding" I suppose that should be enough, though it would be fantastic if somewhere i n the desert there was an oasis... That would be great, then we wouldn't have to worry cause we could refill there. "he thought a moment" Well Is suppose there would have to be water in this desert somewhere, those birds and some plant life have been able to live, so there must be some source of freshwater around..."

They boy definitely talked allot, But that was just him. He spoke aloud usually to try and figure things out, it was a habit he had formed.
