Chapter 2: The Spot

[Jay0327]

The group walks through the woods, it seems to get darker and thicker, until suddenly it opens into a very busy clearing. There are music players filling the air with sounds of mistical instruments, jugglers tossing balls of liquid fire, kids practicing bows and arrows, tellers of tall tales, and the most noticable...a handful of men and women dressed in cloaks showing off different magic tricks. Jay nods to some, waves at others, and slaps a few hands.
"Alright girls, what'll it be?" Jay asks as he walks them past all of this and to the counter. A huge sign displays "The Spot" and pretty much states that if you can imagine it, they can cook it.  

[Aphael]

For some time now the little one had kept her eyes on this strange group. This was a strange place all itself, for many, many reasons. Humans were strange and unpredictable and no matter how many times she met them she found herself absolutely befuzzled in the face of their absurdity.

She sniffed the air. They were closing in on the weird place with more weird humans. She was not surprised, though two of them looked strangely ill-fit for what she understood to be the usual patronage of this area.

But in all honesty, she had only been in the area for but a score minutes. Perhaps what her would-be master conveyed to her was inaccurate?

She didn't know or, to be quite frank about it, give a hoot, as it were. The little fox trotted along behind the three strange humans with their strange dog without so much as a care that she might be discovered.

Rather, wouldn't that be all the more fun?
