r&r this then i'm gonna go get some r&r
Neal wanted to get out of Pirate's Swoop ASAP. Alanna, his knight master, (well she wasn't his knight master anymore, but still) was acting like a teenager; going around with the King giggling and...and kissing. It was sickening. It was like watching his mother.. aww bad image. Neal covered his eyes with his hand in an attempt to erase the image from his mind. A noise floated down from further up the hallway; the sound for people--giggling. Neal fled he didn't want to risk an encounter with Alanna or the King.
He made his way toward the kitchen in hopes the cooks would take pity on him and give him something to eat.
"How the hell are you supposed to eat with these things?" That was Ani's voice coming from the kitchen. Neal walked in and saw Abby trying to teach Ani to use chopsticks. "No wonder you Yamani are so skinny you can never get anything to eat," Ani moaned. She attacked the piece of chicken in front of her. She stabbed at it with one chopstick, it rolled away. She stabbed at it with the other chopstick it rolled away.
"Come on it's easy," said Abby, demonstrating.
"For you."
"Not just for me. You can't do it because you have no life skills."
"Not true. I can draw and I can ace tests and I make a mean chicken rice."
"No offense, Ani, but that's instant rice."
"Gurr." Ani once again began to stab at her chicken. She finally impaled it with one chopstick. She held it up triumphantly and took a bite.
"Good job! Now do it right."
"No, it's too much work. Eating shouldn't be work."
"Cheers," said Neal answering for Abby because she was doubled over laughing.
"Hey, Neal," greet Abby when she could."
"Neal when are we leaving," Ani asked.
"When I you want to," he said. "Please," he thought. "Say you want to leave soon"
"Good we leave tomorrow."
They left in the wee hours of the morn when the birds weren't even awake.
"No sane person should be up at this hour," muttered Abby. "We're diurnal, if we were nocturnal then we'd be able to see at this hour."
"Damn, we're going to have to go back I left something," Neal announced a few minutes down the road. They turned around and Neal go his something.
"Shoot! I left my saddle bag in my room," Ani yelled in frustration a mile and a half later. Ani ran and got her saddle bag.
"Everyone have everything, now?" Abby asked slightly annoyed at the delay.
"Yep."
Everything was going perfectly. No one had to turn back and get anything they forgot.
"I forgot my cloak," Abby said shamefaced. They turned back one more time.
"We're on the road again, we're on the road again," Neal sang happily, they had made it ten miles without having to turn back as far as he was concerned he was done with Pirate's Swoop. "We're on the road again."
"Queenscove shut up."
"We're on the road again," sang Neal oblivious to Abby's reprimand.
"Shut UP."
"We're on the road again. On the road again. Just can't wait to get on the road again. On the road again. Just can't wait to get on the road again. We're on the road again."
"Queenscove!"
"We're on the road again,"
"Shut it, Neal."
"We're on the road again."
"Nealan," Abby said warningly.
"We're on the road again."
"Argh! Shut. Up."
"We're on the road again."
"Silence. Is. Golden."
"Abbs. NO. You're choking him ."
"We're (cough cough) on the road again."
"SHUT UP! (we're on the road again) OH FORGET IT." She tried to plug her ears.
"We're on the road again."
