"Oh! Wow, sorry for that. I'm Rham." He took that hand and shook it firmly before grinning and nodding. Partners in crime (but not really), against the world. That's how this worked. The blond just chuckled a little and dropped the hand before a cry of "STOP THIEF!" rang out and made him look over. A sprite? Oh! He'd never seen one before! "We have to save the sprite from Mr. Stingy!" With that, Rham took off after Mr. Stingy and the sprite, laughing all the while. He glanced back over his shoulder and motioned for Nuawahn to follow him. "Come on! This is adventure!" Food was forgotten right now. He had a chance to help a sprite and he was going to take it! Now he focused on his target and tried to figure out away the man to safely secure the sprite, and to run away all at the same time.

Nuawahn whooped with delight and chased after them both, his trinkets jangling as he ran. He did love to run, though he hadn't done much running on rocky ground, not for a few years- It's solidity was a surprising treat after the muddy and squelchy ground of Jahuar, or the soft slippery sand of the Tale.
"Lets split up!" he managed, midway through a bound, landing and changing directions to dart between huts. The sprite could fly, and that meant that it had a huge advantage, so Nua hoped to try to cut it off so that he and Rham could help it.
But, even burdened, it was a bit faster. Nuawahn's path intercepted again with Rham's and the man. The man had stopped, panting and glaring at the sprite as it- only maybe a few meters away, continued to evade him.
"It's heading for the rocks! C'mon, lets go!" he called to Rham, a huge grin on his face. This was fun!

Achik heard the cries of the playful boys and turned his wings up to full throttle. He didn't want to get caught by Twolegs! He'd met nice ones, like that one with the fluffy thing who had made his water cup, but he didn't think that the ones on the ground were friendly, probably. He powered out of the settlement as fast as he could, making for the rocks where he could rest and look over his spoils. He would need to rest, definitely. He could feel his wing muscles straining as they struggled to give him both the speed to outfly the earthlings and the strength to carry his illicit goods. He reached the dangerous outcroppings with a sigh and a chime and landed, gasping for air as his wings tried to get rid of all the lactic acid that had built up. The sprite sat down. He didn't think they could get him here...

"No no no! Come back, we're trying to help you!" He panted as he caught up with Nuawahn again and just grunted. Running was fun, but this sprite was going to make him so tired! His eyes narrowed as he reached up, trying to snatch the sprite from mid-air, like that was really going to happen. He was starting to lag behind already because he didn't have too much experience running this hard or fast. Having to stop, Rham doubled over, putting his hands on his thighs and just breathed. "G-go! I'll... I'll catch up!"

"Nooo" said Nuawahn, frowning sadly at his friend as he skidded to stop briefly, "Its not as fun alone!" he protested, glancing back towards the rocks, licking his lips.
After some hesitation, he grabbed Rham's hand.
"Come on!" he laughed, and proceeded to continue the pursuit, trying to tow rham along.

He was yanked and Rham could only laugh before looking upwards, moving as best as he could. His muscles were burning, but he did want to help the sprite. "I h-hope it doesn't move again!" His face was covered in sweat now and he somehow go this second wind and pushed the pain to the side as he continued to run. "Hey, little sprite, don't move! We won't hurt you, I promise!"

Achik didn't feel like moving more, but he wasn't sure if the earthling was lying or not. Achik knew lies, like the time someone had tried to lure him in and catch him and stuff him in a cage. He wasn't falling for it. They'd have to prove it.
In the meantime, he was sitting still, hoping he would blend into the rocks.
Unfortunately, he was brown, and the rocks were purple. He let out a little chime of frustration before covering his mouth and, panting, staring towards the sound of their voices Would they get him?

Yeah! His friend got it! Running was more fun than gasping for air, wasn't it?
"We won't hurt you!" Nuawahn echoed, scanning the rocks for some sign of the sprite. He grinned at the chime and pointed to the brown speck among the dusty purple. He thought that was it!
Then he frowned. Was it hurt? Was that why it wasn't moving? "We can help you!" he said, tugging Rham's hand towards the tiny speck, "We're good people, we promise!" he said trying to be soothing. He knew he was, and he was sure Rham was.
And probably mister Stingy too, now that he thought about it. But mister stingy had fallen by the wayside, so it was just him and Rham.

"Quickly, else they'll catch us and we'll be in big trouble!" Rham held his hands out towards Achik and wiggled his fingers. "I'll hold you so you can rest, but we need to get out of here ASAP!." He kept looking to the side, hoping Mr. Stingy hadn't caught up yet. He was getting really anxious. Biting down on his bottom lip. Of course, stealing was bad, but getting caught when you were this small meant something awful! "Hurry, hurry, please?" Rham's brows were knit, a light shine of sweat was on his forehead from running as hard as he did. Man he needed to run more. He had absolutely no stamina!

Achik shrunk back against the rock. Nuuuuh, he wasn't falling for it, he wasn't at all. They were younger so they must be working for the older so, nope. Not fooled."Please please?" Nuawahn said, adding his own plea to Rham's just for good measure. He, too glanced back to the path.
It looked like mister Stingy hadn't caught up yet. He was probably catching his breath, which Nuawahn thought was very funny. But he probably would be after them soon.
"C'mon!" he said coaxingly, deciding not to also wiggle his fingers at the sprite - two hands would be scary, and they didn't want to scare the little creature any more than he was already. Instead, he searched for something in his pack.
He remembered from long ago that sprites like shiny and interesting things. He took out a little knot of bright Shifter-blue thread, holding it out above the hiding place.
"If you come out I'll give you a present!" he said, glancing back at the path. Mister Stingy might come soon, and Nua was - despite his seemingly limitless energy - a bit worn out from all the cliff-running. "And we'll help hide you... k?"

Achik stared at the offering. It was a bit of... dangly... colorful... string. He wasn't falling for it! Not it, or the promise of safety, or the...
Achik chimed. He did want that string. The sprite looked from one to the other, holding his ill gotten gains to him posessively.
And then he slowly approached them, suspicious. He chimed again. The shiny string had better be a present. He wasn't flying through hoops, or doing anything for them. And if they didn't hide him, he threatened with an 'indimidating' whistle, he'd make them pay. He walked into Rham's range, wings tense and ready to fly away.

When the little one took the string, Rham gave a quick smile and motioned him closer, swallowing. "Quick, little thing! On my shoulder and hold on. I won't hold you in my hand!" Blue eyes looked back over the path and then whimpered. He waited to see what the sprite would do. "Well go that way, okay?" He pointed in the direction so the sprite would see that they were honestly running to keep it safe. "It'll be okay, afterwards you can fly off, but if we get caught we're all in really, really big trouble."
