"We're making great time" Lucy said as she checked the map once again.
"Yea we should reach there by the afternoon, I heard stories about how beautiful the place is supposed to be" Susan replied trying to picture what it'd look like.
"I can't wait to see it! We definitely got the best place to go out of the three options" Lucy laughed
"Yea because you chose it, you're lucky no one wanted to argue with you on that"
"Hey be grateful I chose you to come with me"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "So do we have to catch a giant bird or..?" Enne asked looking at the paper that Susan gave them which had the map to the location and the words 'big bird jewl'.
"They really need to be more descriptive when it comes to this stuff"
"I think we have to find its nest or something, that seems like a place a bird would put a jewl" Ed suggested.
"Ok according to the map we should be there by evening so we can set up camp just outside the birds territory"
"Wow we're pretty good at this whole adventure thing,"
"Hell yea and thats on teamwork" Ed laughed as the two high-fived. "Also I hope you didn't mind me calling dibs on you as a partner" the boy continued with a slight blush, "It's just that I'd rather hang out with you than any of the others"
"I'm flattered and I like spending time with you too, it's a nice change of pace from the chaos of Nia" Enne laughed, "Plus it's nice not having to hear her and Peter argue about everything for once"
"You gotta give them credit tho, they've started arguing less these days, they might actually be maturing"

"Oh my god you fucking idiot you're holding the map the wrong way"
"No I'm not you're just looking at it wrong"
"Do you see a dark shadowy cave? No. That means we're going the wrong way"
"Oh my god just shut up for two seconds so I can figure this out"
"Oh I'm sorry your majesty I forgot you're High King Peter who's always right and knows best" Nia rolled her eyes and mock curtsied.
"Can you just- Peter groaned, "you are unbearable right now"
"It's not my fault you're being stupid"
"I can't believe I-
"Wait shut up shut up" Nia interrupted him, "Do you hear that?"
"No what is it?" Peter asked concerned
"It's the sound of all the fucks I give about your opinion right now. Not a one."
Peter rolled his eyes, and laughed lightly "Real mature of you. Are you always such an idiot or do you just show off when I'm around"
"Oh fuck off" Nia chuckled, "Hey look, that weird lookin rock is on the map, I guess we are going in the right direction" she turned to Peter. The two laughed as Peter draped an arm around the girl, "you're actually so stupid, we should reach the cave by nightfall"
"we can make camp right outside the cave or we can just go straight in?"
"eh let's just go right in, why waste time"
  The two walked in silence for a short while, "so about that kiss..." Nia started very awkwardly
"Like you said we have more important things to focus on" Peter shrugged it off
"right yeah" She bit the inside of her cheek again as she started to overthink.
Peter glanced down at the girl being uncharacteristically quiet. "Hey what do you think Enne and Ed are doing right now" he asked, reaching for his canister of water.
"hmm, definitely fucking"
Peter spat out the water he was drinking, "oh my god" he managed to get out as the two burst out laughing.
