Shina was startled by the dragon's statement, perhaps she shouldn't have said anything. After all, she never brought others on her missions, unless it was Guan; and then that was him bringing her as his apprentice. 

[color=green] 'Um i'm not sure, I don't know how far he has travelled and I wouldn't want you to journey with me on what could be a wasted journey! I'm sure you have over more pressing matters to attend to...[/color] Then again, Shina thought, having a dragon would minimise the risk of injury to her, probably! Unless she decided to turn on her! Oh what to do, what to do!!? 

Lapoo from Thaddeus' shoulder flew back to Shina and then did something unexpected...she flew to the dragon and landed on her shoulder! She had NEVER done that before! Maybe this was a good sign? Ah screw it, what did she have to lose...apart from maybe her life??! 

[color=green] 'On second thought, he has been gone for far too long. I need to at least find out what has happened and if you truly want to then you are welcome to join. Perhaps we ought to see if anyone else would want to journey with us? We'll pop back to Minnow's and ask around. [/color] 

Shina turned to Thaddeus [color=green] 'If I don't return, you are welcome to take your metals back!' [/color] she laughed, anxiously.
