Aruk and Crystal wandered for a while through the forest, unsure of where their things went. 
[color=39b54a][b]"I bet those Elves took our stuff!"[/b][/color] Crystal accused fiercely. Aruk sighed as he rounded a hollowed oak stump, and revealed the spot where their supplies were nestled in secret. He glanced at Crystal, who glanced back at him blankly. She then pouted. [color=39b54a][b]"They hid them there! Elven scum!"[/b][/color] She went on. Aruk chuckled and pet Crystal on the head lightly.
[color=9e0b0f][b]"You never cease to amuse me, little one."[/b][/color] Aruk noted, before picking up their supplies. 

Crystal just kept pouting. 
[color=39b54a][b]"I'm just-- What do you mortals call it these days? Jumping on the bandwagon?"[/b][/color] Crystal turned a phrase. Aruk raised a scaley eyebrow as he began to set off towards the fort once more. 
[color=9e0b0f][b]"I suppose that is what we are doing now."[/b][/color] Aruk agreed as they travelled the forest towards the fort. [color=9e0b0f][b]"The bandwagon is never without room for anyone who does not like Elves."[/b][/color] He remarked as he looked towards the banners of the Empire. Crystal nodded and sat back on Aruk's shoulder as he made their way to the fort.
