ginko watched in pure wonder as a small weasel popped up and snatched briceus's right off of his finger. gi blinked again and the weasel was gone, he saw him scampering out the tavern door with the ring clutched in his tiny mouth. he seemed to have a look of triumph on his face, gi then turned back to bri to find him frantic about the ring. "don't worry i got it!" ginko only wanted to help Briceus but didn't know if he had the skills to catch a weasel, what kind of mess had he gotten himself into.

the cloaked monk grabbed his staff and darted outside the tavern doors, he looked around at the seemingly empty dark street. he stood there under the lamp post looking down the cobblestone way in front of him. his head suddenly snapped to the right as he saw movement in the dark alleyway but as he took a step towards the alley he head the pitter-patter of something small on the cobblestone down the way but he couldn't see it..should you check the alleyway or follow the noise down the street?

✦ check the alleyway.
✧ follow the noise down the street!

ginko shook his head and ignored the noises down the street, he briskly walked towards the alleyway. he entered the dark passage and seemed to his something large, almost like a brick wall but it wasn't. ginko wished it was. he took a step back rubbing his nose in slight pain, when he opened his eyes he was met with a shady looking dark figure. ginko almost leaped out of his fur when he noticed the stranger who seemed to give off a menacing aura. he quickly backed out of the alleyway and decided to follow the noise quickly down the street. as he walked he kept his eye out for the small creature, 'like a snake with tiny legs..' he thought as he crept down the street quietly. he scanned the corners of the buildings along the street, there didn't seem to be any more alleyways he could go down thankfully. he stood up straight under another lamp post trying to see the best he could when he noticed something running along the low stone wall that lined part of the street, ginko took off after the small shadow. as he got closer he could see the fluffed up tail of the weasel, it hadn't seemed to notice him yet. he was gaining on the creature now, should you try and grab the weasel now?

✧ yes, have to get that ring before bri has a mental break down!
✦ no, wait and follow the weasel to it's hide out.

ginko decided he would see where the weasel will go with the ring and possibly gain more then just a piece of jewelry for briceus. ginko slowed his pace but kept up a brisk walk following the weasel with his eyes. after a while of running, it clambered off the wall and up a tree in the center of the town. ginko huffed and caught his breath as he stopped a few feet from the tree, "finally.. i thought you would never stop.." he said breathlessly. once he had regained control of his lungs ginko stood up straight, he thought about climbing up the tree and grabbing the ring but he remembered that weasel's can be highly territorial of their homes. perhaps he shouldn't just go sticking his hands into the hollow of a weasel. climb the tree and get the ring?

✧ no, i don't want to lose a finger!
✦ yes, what else is there to do?

ginko decided he had no other choice but to climb the tree and grab the ring himself. he put down all of his items and began to scale the tree, it was quite tall and stood out among the rest. he jumped for the first branch and pulled himself up, from then on he went from branch to branch making his way to the middle of the tree where the weasel had entered it's hollow. he saw the ring perfectly perched there as though it was waiting for him. luckily ginko had been smart about this and brought his staff with him, he knew it wouldn't be as easy as grabbing the ring and leaving. ginko inched closer to the hollow wondering where the weasel had gone, until he heard scratching noises farther inside the hole. ginko's heart was beating rather fast, reach for the ring?

✦ yes, the weasel won't even notice it's gone.
✧ no, i have to distract the weasel first.

ginko didn't have time to find a way to get rid of the weasel, he saw his moment and took it. his shaky hands slowly reached for the ring, he kept a close watch on the weasel's shadow in the back of the hollow. his eyes never moved from it as he gently picked up the ring with his finger and then enclosed it in the palm of his hand. he then slowly inched away from the hole onto the outer most branch where he finally took a breath, the weasel hadn't noticed him. ginko then skillfully climbed down the tree and hit the ground with a hard thump, he the stood up straight and gathered his items quickly. he looked back up at the weasel who was now looking at him from his hollow with beady black eyes of pure hatred. ginko felt his sins crawling on his back. he cleared his throat and waved to the animal before looking back towards the tavern. how shall you leave this endeavor?

✧ walk away slowly and calmly.
✦ run.

ginko made a bolt for the street, he didn't enjoy the way the weasel looked at him at all. he stopped once he was safely in front of the tavern, he breathed in deep heavy breathes and turned to look behind him, no weasels.. he breathed a sigh of relief and once more fixed himself and walked into the tavern. the ring was on the tip of his finger as he handed it back to briceus and earned a squeal of happiness and rather large hug from the bartender. it made all ginko had endured that night worth it

Elfie was sitting at the bar when she witnessed the whole thing happen, with Bri's ring and all, which caused her to let out a small laugh but at the same time, it wasn't very funny. Kachel just let out a sigh and watched his buddy freak out before shaking his head. His sister, Elfie, had been sitting there the whole time and she didn't even help Briceus with his first crisis. "Don't worry, I've got it." Elfie said with confidence as a smile appeared on her face. Her specialty had always been bargaining and making offers, and she knew exactly what this little weasel wanted.

While Elfie was coming up with a plan, Kachel tried to calm Briceus down since he was freaking out in front of this dear crush of his, "Hey, Bri. Come on, calm down. Everything will be okay, you're in good hands," He let out a small chuckle and continued to talk, "Elfie is a way better thief than that dang weasel. She definitely knows how to get your ring back." But there was one problem, the weasel had disappeared. Wait.. is that scurrying I hear? He thought, glancing around at the floor while biting at his lip, but before he could say anything, Elfie spoke first, "There it is, there's the thief." She said, standing herself up as she took a golden coin out of her pocket, but then she she stopped, "I could probably lure this thing out with some rubber if anyone has anything?" Someone came up and handed her a pencil eraser and she nodded with a small sigh, giving her thanks. This'll work.

As she crouched down, she could hear the pitter-patter of the little weasel's feet. First its head popped out when Elfie held out the golden coin, and then it's little neck and paws, but then the weasel stopped in its tracks and let out a little 'dook' before returning back to the small hole that they had in the wall. Of course it was a mouse hole, but nobody seemed to mind since it had been vacant forever. Just then, a man came over and crouched down next to Elfie, "I'm sorry! He's mine!! He can't help himself when he steals, so I'll get your ring back as soon as I can catch him!" The unknown man spoke, but without any luck, even the owner of the little weasel couldn't lure it out. But, soon enough, the little weasel crawled out and Elfie had to act quickly when she snatched it out of its hands, but she handed over the golden coin anyway, "Good doing business with you." The female spoke and stood herself up, handing the ring over to Briceus. "Thank you so much, darling! How can I ever repay you!?"

Krajina was proud of the other Kalon for getting his nerves in order to go talk to the fine looking Kalon across the tavern from them. She wished him luck and was preparing for the worst when a weasel appeared from seemingly nowhere and snatched Briceus's ring from his hand.
"Well that's unlucky." She sighed, rubbing her temples. "Erebos!" Krajina called for the closest of her party, knowing he'd be the best suited for this task.
The dark furred Kalon looked up immediately at the mention of his name and hurried over. "What do ya need?" He chirped, looking up at her.
"The poor tavern keeper was trying to get himself a date when a weasel stole a ring from his finger. I don't believe he'll have the confidence to go over there and talk to them without it, so be a doll and go fetch it for me?"
"A weasel?" Erebos narrowed his eyes and tipped his head to the side. "Can I eat it?"
Krajina shrugged. "Get the ring and I don't care what happens to our weasel friend."
Erebos's gaze lit up immediately and he ran out of the tavern in pursuit of the weasel. He ducked around other Kalons, calling quick apologies but never once taking his gaze off the small creature in front of him. It was pretty fast and he struggled to keep up with it at points.
Suddenly, the little creature ducked into a hole leading under a small brick wall.
"Oh nooo..." Erebos hissed softly, pacing next to where it disappeared. "I can't go back empty pawed, Krajina will have my tail if I do!" He got onto his knees and stuck his hand inside, screeching in surprise as teeth connected with his flesh. He jerked his hand back, looking at the bite-marks with tear filled eyes. "I'm useless." He whimpered.
Erebos leaned his back against the wall and sighed. It would have to come out eventually and from what he felt the hole wasn't too deep. He'd just have to wait it out.
Slowly, the sun rose in the sky and Erebos's hopes were beginning to shatter. That's when he heard a soft scuffling from within the shallow hole. A little nose was peeking out, then a head. Quick as a snake, Erebos snatched it and made quick work of it. Rooting around in the hole, he found the stolen ring.
"YES!" He jumped to his feet and dashed back to the tavern.

upon seeing how squirmish briceus might be around the weasel, naomi decided to step in. he first had to make sure briceus's love at first sight wont see him being a panicking mess however. sitting down the poor tavern keeper, he assured him that he was to get his ring back just as long as briceus at least tried to introduce himself to his love interest. briceus hesitantly accepted, promising a few gems in return.

naomi, now covered in dust and some weasel fur finally chased the damn thing into the back, peeking his head upwards to see if briceus had made any success so far. to his delight the kalon seems to be talking cheerfully with his love interest. "good.." he whispered to himself. looking back at the weasel, it seemed to be quite bored and was done playing with the ring however, when he tried to reach for it, said weasel bit his hand instead. flinching, naomi got his wand and with no hesitation cast a spell on the creature thatll for sure freeze it so it wont run away. "thats what you get." he said, tail swishing angrily. grabbing the ring and letting the weasel be, he turned to briceus who now looked happier than ever to get a date with the kalon and his ring back.

[ ▶ ] Help Bri get the ring back from the weasel, it'll be worth it!
[ ▷ ] Leave the inn and have him find it himself. What can you do?
Sami took a deep sigh and decided that she had nothing better to do, so it wouldn't kill her to help out Bri some more. "He was about to come over, Bri!" She complained like the small child she was. "I convinced him to come over and say hello and look what you've done! That sneaky little weasel is really going to get it. How do you just let him still it from you?" She grumbled. "Okay, don't answer that! I guess I'll just have to find it myself in the end anyway, huh? I don't get why ya can't just go and talk to 'em! He isn't intimidating. Actually, I think I said the same thing to you about him before, didn't I? Oh, good lord."

"I think he went left.." The other kalon spoke to her, but he seemed unsure of where the little mammal went. She rolled her eyes and decided that, in the end, it would be her choice where she had to go. "Don't look at me like that! I swear!" She gave him a small glare and turned around, crossing her arms.


[ ▷ ] Look behind the counter, maybe the pesky little thing went there!
[ ▷ ] Go to the left like Briceus said, the weasel couldn't have gone far!
[ ▶ ] Don't trust Bri's directions and go to the right to look around.
In the end, Samiyah decided to go to the opposite direction that the inn keeper told her to. It's not that she didn't believe him, but.. wait, that actually is the reason she went right instead of left. She made her way outside slowly, making sure to look throughout the entire inn as well as she possibly could, yet there were absolutely no signs of the animal scurrying around.

She had no luck finding it, even when she went outside, so she decided to pick one of her other options and maybe trust Bri instead.


[ ▷ ] Look behind the counter, maybe the pesky little thing went there!
[ ▶ ] Go to the left like Briceus said, the weasel couldn't have gone far!
She continued looking around and slowly made her way around the right of the inn. Once again, she decided to make her way outside to see if maybe the mammal would be out there. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a flash of brown running away as fast as it could as she stepped outside of the inn. She looked over and sure enough, she saw the weasel running off with Bri's lucky ring. She smirked and took a run after it, trying to catch it, but she just kept chasing him around and around the inn.

Clearly, the weasel didn't want to leave the premises for some reason. Perhaps it was trying to taunt Sami, but she truly had no idea.


[ ▷ ] Go ask Briceus for help again. He was right the first time, maybe he'll be useful again.
[ ▶ ] Go back in the inn and scavenge for a piece of food it might like!
[ ▷ ] Continue chasing after the weasel, one of us will get tired eventually! (Probably Sami)
Samiyah decided to go back inside to grab a piece of apple to lure the weasel closer to her. It was a small piece so it could fit in its mouth with really no struggle, but big enough to where it would hopefully be attracted to it. After seeing that Bri gave her a hopeful look, she headed back outside to the weasel, and had to take a little while to find it again. She found the animal chewing on the ring in the back of the inn and she thought about what the smart thing would be to do.


[ ▶ ] Toss the apple a little bit away from the weasel, maybe it'll chase after it and leave the ring!
[ ▷ ] Go right up to the weasel and attempt to exchange the ring for the apple in front of the animal, hoping it wouldn't run off.
The safest choice for Sami was to toss the apple away from the weasel to see what it would do, so that's exactly what she did. The weasel took the ring with him and chased after the apple excitedly and dropped the ring to munch on the apple. She ran after the animal to grab the ring and she did so quite successfully before it ran right after her. She yelped, struggling to get away from weasel for some odd reason. How was it almost faster than her?

She tripped on a rock, and the weasel jumped on top of her. However, it seemed uninterested in the ring, so the kalon was quite puzzled. "What do you want, you pesky thing?" She huffed angrily, considering how much annoyance this little animal put her through. "You're not getting the ring back, don't even think about it!" She tempted him with the ring but he still didn't seem interested in it so she remained confused. "Okay, I'll take you back with me, but I'm really not sure what you want."

She plopped the weasel on her shoulder once she got up and walked into the inn. "Guess who is baaack!" Sami shouted excitedly, wiggling the ring in front of Bri's face. "I got it! This little guy wouldn't leave me alone though after I tossed him an.. oh my god! Give me an apple right now. Just a little slice though, please!"

Briceus obeyed Sam's orders and gave her a slice of apple and she held it in front of the animal's face and it sniffed it and seemed super excited suddenly. She gave it to the little guy and watched him eat. "All the poor guy wanted was some food, how cruel could ya be?" She chuckled humorously, placing him on the counter. "I'm sure it won't kill ya to have him here for a little bit. Now as for your ring.."


[ ▷ ] Keep the ring! Why'd I have to go through all that struggle for nothin'?
[ ▶ ] Just be nice and give it to Bri, he'll probably give you somethin' in return for your struggles anyway! Be nice.
Sami handed Bri the ring with a shiny, bright smile on your face. "Here you are, Mister Briceus! I honestly have no idea what else you want me to do now, but you better go talk to that guy now! No more stalling!"
