Disclaimer: I don't own Slayers, or any of their characters. However, I own Babbit, Yeshta, Pickle, and Slipper. Varunia belongs to my sister.
Note: This is the sequel to "The Dragon Slave Recovery Spell". Please see it for reference as to what exactly happened with Rezo. ^_^
Enjoy!

It was nearly dark when she stopped at an inn for the night.
"I know there's one near..." She whispered to herself as she walked up the stairs to the room she had rented.
"One what?" Rezo appeared beside her as she closed the door. She lit the lamp, which brightened the room. For the most part, it was a nice room. It was clean, with a smooth wooden floor and bed tucked in one corner. A window decorated the wall, across the room from the bed. From the window, there was a lovely view of road she had traveled on. The room itself was a bit on the small side, but that's what she had come to expect from inns. She looked at Rezo, who was nearly transparent.
"A crater left from a Dragon Slave." She didn't need to explain more, as she had told him about it a few days ago. She was on a journey to repair damage that had been done by a Dragon Slave. While Rezo had possessed her body, she had completed the restoration spell. Now that her body was her own again, she was looking foreword to using the spell.
"I'm supposed to be looking for my cousin Pickle as well." She added after a moment of thought.
"He's in Atlas City." Rezo commented in an almost helpful manner.
"Is that so." She gazed at Rezo for a moment. "Hm. Might I inquire as to what he's doing there?"
"Teaching the way of Shabernigdo." Rezo answered calmly. For a moment, Babbit wondered if he was teasing her.
"Pickle? Teaching something?" She asked in wonder.
"He seemed to be under the command of someone with blue hair and a horn." Rezo continued.
"Blue hair? Horn?" She paused a moment. "Valgarv?" She asked in confusion.
"No, I did not mean to mislead you. The person is female." Rezo paused again. "And was very upset that I was nearby." Stranger and stranger! Babbit was thoroughly confused.
"I thought that you ghost-type people were only visible when you wanted to be." She said thoughtfully, then laughed. "I suppose we'll have to see what is happening later. For now, I sleep." She blew out the lantern, and collapsed on to the bed.
"Good night, Babbit." Rezo said, and faded away. Babbit yawned.
"Good night, Rezo." She mumbled, and quickly fell asleep.

^_^ Rezo! Welcome back! ^_^ I do believe that this may have some Babbit/Rezo romance develop in it... What? Why not? What do you mean, "because they're related"? Babbit will tell you herself the chimeraizim is a perfectly good way to wreck your genes! R&R, please!
