     With the bag securely stowing away Giblet, Vin was able to dash freely through the forest. 
Even with Giblet out of sight, Vin continued to hold "conversations" with the green ball.
"See how exhilarating it is to move fast Gibs?  You should try it. Nothing can stop me!"

As if born out of circumstance, Vin smacked headfirst into something solid.

The solid figure emitted a high pitch grumble directed at Vin.

Gathering himself off the ground, Vin rubbed at his head. His breath was then taken away by the sparkling vision he'd crashed into. A glimmering small silver dragon, baring her pearly white fangs at Vin.

"Ah, excuse me.. um, Ma'am. No harm done. I'm ok. You're ok. Let's get to know each other. I'm leaning toward mainly physically gettin' to know you. Your much smaller than that other dragon. Are you young? A baby? No matter. That's not a deal breaker for me."

       The dragon's expression hardened as smoked slithered out of her mouth.  Her jaws widened open to release a torrent of hot flames.

      I want that dragon!

      The dragon's presence is no longer in front of Vin.  Only evidence of her are a couple wisps of smoke that dissipated into the air.

     Wow!  I heard dragons are fire breathers I didn't know it was actual fire.  Thought it meant they're hot headed.  That was a close one.
      Vin eyeballs the inside of his bad.
I wonder if the dragon is with Giblet in there? Hope Giblet is ok?  Course he is, he will calm that dragon down with his lovely music.

Vin scampered to and fro about the forest. No direction or destination in mind. He hoped to find a new companion and a tavern that's heavily stocked with Ale and food.

      He slid to stop when he heard a voice.  Two voices to be exact.  One of the voices higher in octave than the other.   As he drew closer, his body electrified with excitement, he was able to distinguish the two voices were bickering at one other.

       Unable to barricade his enthusiasm, Vin bolted up to the two. 

        Halting five away from them, he performed a full spin on his heel.  Finishing up with arms spread widely to fashion himself off.
"Hi, I'm Vin.  I'm here to make your dreams come true."

      The male arched his eyebrow at him.  Both stared at Vin skeptically but also with a deep thoughtfulness.

      Vin quickly observed the pair.  They both appeared human, one male the other female.  They adorned colorful clothes, that weren't torn or dirty.  An unusual sight for anyone found in the heart of a dense forest. 

     Both also share the same dark hair with extremely tight curls.  Vin is mesmerized by their hair, wondering what the texture feels like.

      The male speaks up.
"I am Kertis.  This is my sister, Alana.   You are a weasel yes?"

    "Loud and proud."   Vin winks.

     Kertis smirks devilishly.
"That means you must be quite skilled at stealing.  How about you join us for a while?"
