Din was crouching down to this new person's own height, following along and probably not even noticed because once in a while, the excentric man used his magic without even realizing it.
He leaned over and whispered, "What are we looking for?"

Mandos froze, and let out a long, very long, string of cursewords. probably everyone in the human dictionary.
"No ones takin me in!"
Tail slapped around and he took off running. damn his luck! evil, wretched, sneaky, tall human! He stole his money fair and square! and he was not beyond using that rapier (at least to him) on his hip either.

Din looked around, searching for the person this guy was talking about. Seeing no one, he shrugged and took off after the creature.
He caught up, surprising for such an old man but thena gian, he was trapped in a young body. "Why are we running?"

Din came to a stop with the stranger, before scratching his head and looking around. "Following? Hmm...why am I following."
His mind seemed to wander for a few moments, before he noticed his new freind again. He smiled. "Hi. Nice sword thing."
"What's yours?"

"My head?" He rubbed at his scalp. "Why no, I don't tihnk so. How kind of you to ask."
"Oh my how exciting. An unwarrented eviction. Of course I will help...um...what is your name? I don't think I caught it during our sprint." He smiled that pleasant Blackbowman smile.

"Fredrick von Mandos!"
giving a big bow and sweeping his hat into it, before placing it back on his head, and straightening it out.
"And yous, partnar?"

He tapped his foot. Then snapped his fingers. "Haha, silly me. It's Din! Don't relaly have a last name, but I'm related to the Blackbowmans. No...wait...Demitri was my pop...so I guess I am Din Blackbowman." He waved.

Ooookay. this kid was six coins short of a dozen. but hey, that'll work just fine.
"wells din, follows me."
And he started on his way to teh Oracle's manor, of course taking back alleys and streets, as to avoid anyone that might know him. card sharking, thievery, blackmail...this little ratonga was really into the crime scene. always fun to do a B&E too. especially when there was good loot to be had. it was such a big house, how coudl there not be loot?

"Ooo, what fun!" He tip toed along, giggling to himself
He didn't even know if he'd been to this area or not. Hell he didn't even remeber how he got out of Malik's fortress. Who was Malik? he couldn't remember.

I woulds go with yous, but they knows me, they'd doos horribles things to mes. You's dey don't knows, and can sneaks in."

"I get to sneak in? Double dose of excitment!" He smiled with childish glee.
No problem sneaking up to the front door, what iwth that little invisible thing he did. A touch on one of the gards neck and he was inside the man's body. Man promtly proclaimed that he was done his shift and procceded inside.
Once inside, Din left the body laying in the hallway, and began looking around. Many things that were 'shiny like dis' caught his attention. But soon he had forgotten his little mission and became fascinated with the paintings on the walls.

there was Mandos, rubbing his little clawed hands together, thinking of al the jewelry and money and sellables to come...not to mention fine wines, cakes, and such. Oh happy days to run into someone so gullible.
then ten minutes passed. Okay..he must be really getting loaded up.
Then fifteen. what's taking him so long?!
then twenty. that got a snort of indignance. well...if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. damn stupid kid. so sneaking on up..and to a window, and opening it slow and easy, before slipping into the house. Now we're talking.

The Oracle had already found Din, one of her girls having informed Meilikki of a stranger in the hallways. She stood with her arms crossed, fingers of one hand to her forehead.
"Din, I have great respect for you, being Second and all, but can't you remeber at all why you came here?"
"Gee, I'm sorry Hundred. I can't even remeber how I got here."
"Just Meilikki or Oracle is fine, Din. That sort of formality isn't practiced anymore." She sighed, trying to be patient. Sometimes Din had a brain like a screen door, good for nothing but keeping out the flies. Sometimes he was the most valualbe pit of information she could hope for.
"How about we try thins. Did you come here yourself?"
"Ummm....no. No I don't think I did."
"Did you bring someone?"
"Nnnn.....no."
"Did someone bring you?"
"Yes!"
"Who?"
"Ummm....Mikey Mouse?"
She sighed.
