Sassy cleared her throat as she took the glass from Angel. "Johnny you might want to put that crown away for now. There are sticky fingers and paws everywhere from what that red rabbitfolk keeps saying. It's important to you so I'm just looking out for you"

Angel raises an eyebrow, looking at the crown and then at Sassy. "While I thank you for your concern, sweety, we have a room full of archers, myself included. If someone tries to take the crown during the party, they won't get far."

She looks at JB. "Thanks. I'll wear this for the party, but Sassy here is right. When it is time to head out, you go back to hiding it, yes?"

In reply to Angel Bard (msg # 37):

Johnny puts his hand over his chest.  "But of course, my Queen."

She giggles and nods if you say so. the red one wouldnt let this stop him. anyhoo I'll go check on the next course

Angel says, "Waitwaitwait, Sassy... did you say red rabbitfolk? His name wouldn't happen to be Meiou, would it?"

Angel idly reaches her hand over to JB's head and pets him while he is knelt.

She blinks and faces her.why yes. do you know him? poor thing doesn't seem to know himself.

In reply to Angel Bard (msg # 40):

Johnny actually starts to purr like a cat as Angel pets him, his eyes closed in rapt contentment.  Angel can even hear him let out a sigh.

Angel nods. "Meiou was a friend of mine back in my home town. Nobody knew where he went. He was going to be one of my quests when I set out into the world. Is he OK?"

Angel scratches JB behind the ear.

She shrugsif you can call being in debt to pipkin ducain and being a witches familiar ok.

In reply to Angel Bard (msg # 43):

Johnny sighed in bliss, as his Queen scratches him like a cherished pet.  His back arches and his nose brushes against her arm.

Johnny's eyes then bolt straight open.  "Pippkin Ducain?"

Angel furrows her brow and lets go of JB. "...no, that does not sound OK."

She sighs, "I guess depending on what Meiou owes... and why... is whether I will be talking with Pippkin or not. Do you know where I can find Meiou right now?"

She shook her head. "Though I think o e of your friends over there mentioned something about a group with a rabbitfolk in it earlier" she said motioning to the others at the table .

Johnny's body seems to flop back down to his knees after Angel lets him go.

Angel stands up. "I'd like to stay longer, but... I worry I will fall behind too much if I don't chase this lead immediately. Johnny, are you with me?"

In reply to Angel Bard (msg # 49):

Johnny almost pops up from where he knelt.  "Always, my Queen."

Sassy watched them get up I'd gladly give ya a ride if I didn't have to finish up here. Theres a map in my wagon out back if you need an idea of where what is."

Angel smiles. "Thank you, Sassy. Please show me." she heads to the back to look for Sassy's wagon and to let the squirrel show her this map she spoke of.

On the way to the wagon, Angel looks over to JB. "I do like your jester look. But I am also curious how you really look. And since we are going to be traveling... well... just make sure you are dressed for travel, whether that means staying a jester, being comfortable, or donning some kind of armor. I'll be putting on my own armor, m'self. Oh right... here."

Angel hands the crown over to JB. "Keep this safe for now." she smiles, patting the mouse on the back.

In reply to Angel Bard (msg # 52):

Johnny murrs as he's patted, and then takes the crown, place the reappearing cloth over it, and with a slap of his hand, makes it disappear.  "No, I don't always wear my motley all the time.  Especially when I'm traveling.  If you can excuse me..."

Along the way to the wagon, there were a set of restrooms, of which Johnny ducked into one of the smaller ones.  Within a matter of seconds, he reappears, revealing to his Queen the mousefolk under the mask.  Angel knew it was him because of the two colors of his ears, but he looked quite handsome enough with his grey and flesh-toned fur.  He had on a dark green tunic, black pants, and similar green elven boots.  His belt included various pouches, including a set of thieve's tools.  He slung a backpack with a "Heward Backpacks" logo over one shoulder and an ornate lute over the other.

"I hope this is appropriate, Angel," Johnny said, the spark in his eyes and the eager smile were still there even though he was acting informal, compared to his Jester side.  "Once you set on a decent outfit, I'll try to match your colors.  We're supposed to be a team after all."

As they continued over, Johnny mused to himself.  "A kingdom of our own, with you as our Queen.  The stuff of dreams, is it not?"

Sassy excused herself for abit leading angel and johnny out the back to where she had parked her wagon. She hopped up into it with ease digging around for a moment before coming back out with the map. She hands it over to Angel showing her Were here right now and i think your friends said the group was here she pointed out to the rabbitfolk.

Angel nods. "Thank you very much, Sassy. What do I owe you for the map?" she is reaching for her coin purse. She doesn't haggle. But the young lady seems to know her stuff about appraisal and knows what the map is worth. Still, even if Sassy charges slightly more than the map is normally worth, Angel will pay it without even mentioning it.

After she pays for the map, she looks at JB. "Now there's a mouse ready to travel. Lookin' good, Johnny."

She goes to get dressed herself and steps out wearing adventuring gear that bespeaks her profession of ranger. Rugged and tough, but ready to defend herself at the drop of a hat.

"Why thank you, Angel," Johnny said.  "And eventually I'll find traveling clothes that match yours.  I have my own wagon that we can use if you want, which I double as a proper place to sleep at night."

He then turned back to Sassy.  "By the way, got the items I ordered, Sassy?  I think I'll be heading out of here in the immediate future."

Sassy giggled taking the package out of the wagon handing it to johnny. Sarah did something a little special for you. Not that she doesn't love your buisness but she felt it was time you had something that changed with you.

In reply to meiou (msg # 57):

Johnny took the package.  "Give Rose my thanks," he said as he opened it.

Angel sees that her companion got a tunic, not unlike what he had on right now.  But it also had a slip of paper for instructions.

"This is a color-changing tunic," Johnny said as he ducked to one side of the wagon to switch tunics.  When he returned it looked like he didn't switch, but then he grabbed the tail of the tunic and said, "Okay, let's make you Red."

Starting from where he held the tail and spreading out throughout the tunic, the color changed from brown to red.

He looked over at Angel after the color changed.  "Now we look like a team."

Edit:  Had to change name

Angel smiles at JB. "...cute. Well then. Let's be on our way, shall we?" she looks at Sassy. "Thanks again. You sure are a helpful gal, ain't ya?"

she winks with a giggle Always to friends and paying customers and sometimes to non paying customers.
