Fire and Ice

Cubby Conversation

The trip started out easy. We traveled though the Fire Realm's main city. Not many people were out on the streets yet, because if the time, but there was still a few out and about.

Most of the crowds were made of merchants and street side shops just beginning to open.

There were so many things to look at all at once. I would have ask Norman to slow down so I could look at more things as we passed but I knew we already had a long trip ahead and I didn't want to make it longer.

"Woah." I said in ah, looking up and down the street through the carriage window.

"Wonderful isn't it?" Mira said turning away from the other window to look at me.

"More than wonderful. . . it's. . . woah what's that!?" I asked excitedly, pointing at something I've never seen before. It was hard to see through all the soldiers surrounding the carriage but it was definitely something interesting.

It was a large round shop, almost dome shaped besides its door way. Mira came close to get a look.

"Oh I believe that a new pub in town. I believe it's call 'Rabbit Girl' or something like that." Mira told me. I felt a shiver travel down my spine after her words.

"A p-pub you say? I t-thought we alread-dy had a p-pub?" I stuttered.

"Oh yes, the old pud closed down for some reason and now we have this one."

"Oh. . . right." I hummed, looking away from the window and now the inside of the carriage.

The carriage was the prefect size for Mira and I. It was made to fit about four or so people so that meant the two of us had plenty of  room.

The seats were white silk and the walls were a almost rustic looking pink. Everything was lined with gold.

The only thing inside the carriage though was Mira, her purse, and I. I could only assume her purse was filled with thing that could aid us on our journey. Mira was always the one that always came prepared for anything.

As my eyes made their way around the carriage I spotted a strangle little sliding cubby just across from where I was sitting. It was only about the size of my hand but it still peaked my interest.

"Mira, what's that?" I inquired, pointing at the small cubby.

"Oh that. . ."She began to say be for she moved over to it. Without continuing to explain, she opened it and said,

"Hello Norman."
Apparently it was a little door you could open to communicate with the driver.

I got excited and went over to Mira to say hello too.

"HELLO NORM!" I cheered very enthusiastically.

You could somewhat see Norman though the cubby hole, but I could clearly see that he jump at my greeting.

"H-Hello Princess, is the trip going well?" He asked, half turning around, still keeping his eyes on the road.

"Yes well thank you. How's the driving?"

"Well I think I'm getting the hang of it." He said more confident than before.

"I'm glad." Mira said kindly. "Well, we'll let you get back to it." She chirped, about to close the cubby hole.

"Bye Norm! Talk to you again soon."

"Sounds good." He said smiling then giving the road his full attention once more.

Mira closed the little doors and went back to her seat.

"Now do you know what it's for?" Mira said with a giggle.

"Yes, Mira. That is a interesting little thing." I said looking back at the closed cubby.
