Audrey couldn't find the pendant anywhere. Her cats were annoyed at her, as she kept moving everything to search. Audrey let out a sigh, it wasn't here. She needed to find it, and find it quick. She left her room, trying to retrace her steps. She searched the whole castle, to no avail. She would go back to the market tomorrow to search for it there. She really hoped she'd find it again.

Al nodded at Gill, whole sighed. Filling the space around them in bubbles as he did so. Gill smiled at Al, a thin type of smile and motioned for him to follow, "alright, let's go back, the other should be getting out soon, if the ladies release them" Gill said, his hand wrapped around Als wrist, pulling him along, back towards his fathers castle. Al planned to head back to the town, he needed to find the elf and let her know in some way that he owed her. Merman always paid their Debts, no matter what.

Sighing, Audrey returned to her room. She hoped that she'd find it at the markets tomorrow, otherwise she was screwed. Gently petting Florian, Audrey hugged the small cat close. "What am I going to do bud?" She asked, not expecting a response. Florian meowed and rubbed his face on her chest. That made Audrey smile. "Good boy" she whispered.

Al returned to the Dorms with Gill and found the rest of his squad in bed, if he looked closely he could see other figures lying beneath the covers with them. Al turned and grinned at Gill, who silently laughed with him. The pair got in their own Cots and started to fall asleep

Audrey brought Florian to her chest and laid down in bed. She smiled when Killian decided to join, a gentle purr coming from the other cat. She hoped she would be able to find the pendant tomorrow. She slowly fell asleep.

Al woke to the sound of snoring, the water around him was slightly illuminated by the early sun. He sat up and grabbed his armour, he was going back through Tova today, and if he gets caught, he needed to be able to get out. Al tucked small daggers and throwing knifes into the silver armour and pouches. Al swam quickly, if Gill woke and caught up to him, he was sure that Gill would succeed in talking him out of this. Al headed back through the route to Tova, the rifts now against him. Al battled back to the town and hovered under the surface of the water, waiting, hopefully the elf would come back. But he had to be careful of the villagers, as they would be on high alert from yesterday

Audrey woke the next morning, making her way downstairs. Mia was already eating breakfast with Cassandra. Both didn't seem to notice Audrey. Audrey snuck past them, detiermined to find the necklace before the noticed her bare neck where the pendant was supposed to rest. She rushed to the market, trying to sense the pendant and gage the distance she was from it.

Al watched from where he was, he was lucky the water was high and allowing him to get as close as he was. Al floated there for a hour or two before he caught sight of a familiar face, the elf. Al bit his lip, the elf didn't know he was there, he had to get her attention. But he couldn't risk it, the other villagers would notice him too. Al shook his head, he owed the elf, and he was in his element, if any other villagers saw him, he could just swim away. Al pushed up through the surface of the water, slapping his large fanned tail against the flat surface of the water, splashing anyone within a 10 metre radius

Audrey jumped in surprise as a wave of water flew at her and the other elves. She relaxed a bit when hse realized it was only water. Spotting the merman she cut free at the surface, she cursed internally. She didn't have time for this, she had to find her pendant. "You're welcome, now you should go" she told the merman as she approached, she looked around anxiously. "I have something to do, I'll leave you to whatever you were doing before" she said, still trying to search for her necklace. She was impatient, but it was for good reason

Al growled at her, "I am grateful, but I owe you" He said, the words some how finding a way through his sharp, shark-like teeth. "You say you have something to do? Let me help" he said, looking up at her, his eyes shimmering in the early sun.
