As they returned to the room, Cecilia snicked at her brother. She watched as Crylics climbed up the chair and sat on Eugene's shoulder.

"How long has he been knocked out?"

"He woke up ten minutes ago. And then I knocked out again as he was asking where you were and his satchel was. "

"Well he's going to have a headache later," she mumbled.

Raphael nodded his head and looked at Crylics. He gave the reptile a signal and Crylics bit Eugene on the ear.

"Huh?"

Eugene opens his eyes and looked at his shoulder. He yelps flinging Crylics off his shoulder and rubbed his ear.

"Would you stop that?!"

Raphael crossed his arms and smirked at him.

"Now it's hidden where you can't find it. "

"And my sister?"

Raphael moved over a bit and reviel Cecilia.  Eugene sighed with relief. 

'At least she's okay,'  he thought.

Raphael moved his hair and began circling  Eugene.

"So what do you want with my hair?"

"What," they both asked confused?

"To cut it? Sell it?"

"No!"

"Why would we want with your hair," Cecilia said looking at Cheechee, who blinked at her.

"Listen, the only thing I want to do with your hair is to get of it, literally!"

Raphael leaned into his faced and continued.

"You..."

When he saw that he was being serious.

"Wait? You don't want my hair?"

"Why would I want your hair?"

"I just said that..."

"Look we're being chased, we saw a tower, I climbed it and she grew her weird  plant magic, end of story. "

Raphael pointed his pan at him and looked at him .

"Your telling the truth..."

Crylics climbed down his arm and to the end of the pan. He stared into his eyes. He looked up and down trying to see if he was telling the truth.

He looked at Cecilia and saw her look concerned at her bother and nodded to the turtle when she looked at him as saying he is telling the truth.

Crylics nodded his head back at Raphael to say he was telling the truth. He pulled them back and moved away from the tied up thief.

"I know I need someone to take me," he whispered to his companion.

"I think their telling the truth too."

As Raphael was talking to Crylics, Eugene motion Cecilia to come over.

"Ok while he is distracted, you untie me and we can look for my satchel, and we can be on our way out of here."

Cecilia crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow.

"Have you lost your mind?!Why would i do that? This is Karma for stealing the crown and kidnapping me!"

"Oh come on! Think of how much money we could get! You would've work again and we can live like royalty!"

Cecilia glared at him. Sure they're  poor orphans that grew up together,but  their house mother always said that money and riches was  made everyday, but family and love was priceless.
