This post is a little shorter; I decided it best not to gloss over Curdle getting out of the cart for the sake of RPing an angry guard. Feel free to shorten your next post as well; quality over quantity, and I don't need to worry about trivial things like post length with you :)

At first I was going to have the guard kinda wander over and start asking questions, but then Curdle would have to make some sort of break for it, and I think Miria will be less likely to talk to him again in the future if she sees him try to escape the guards like any jinni criminal on the run would, if that makes sense.

However, if you were eager to display some of Curdle's tricks, I can have a guard discover him after he leaves Miria's cart or while he's trying to leave town. There'll be plenty of chances for excitement between Curdle and Miria once they are on the road (I haven't thought of anything solid yet, though I am forming a few vague ideas, depending on how things go) :D

In any case, thank you so much for letting me know what you want ahead of time :) It's much better than having me write something that makes you go, "Oh crap, I have no idea how to get out of that pickle," and then you lose interest and the RP dies. On the other hand, if this RP starts to get dry/boring or you need something off-the-wall exciting to happen, please let me know and I can swing it :) Sometimes I focus so much on characterization and interaction that I forget about action. Yikes. (But in case you're wondering, I'm thoroughly enjoying myself so far :) )
