"Thanks for answering my question with another question love. Long story short crazy magic." *If the staff had a body right now it would be rolling its eyes and crossing its arms but for now it just spoke in a sarcastic tone* "I-I'm in New Salvania?!? Jeez how long have I been in that cart... Who am I? Gosh its also been quite a while since I've heard anyone ask me that. I'm Seraphina Urazule also it seems I know the brains of the group asking the right questions and answering them too. Now for my questions who are all of you? And who here is the most capable?" *Seraphina asked very interested to hear their answers. She could've asked who was the most powerful or who was the smartest but she knew that if she was going to turn back to normal she needed money and lots of it. Just cause someone's powerful doesn't mean they'll get money neither is intelligence but if a person who's very capable is wielding her... Anyway New Salvania she's travelled so far and done so little. Her parents must think she's already dead or that she was killed when she ran away. Poor her*

Perséfone pointed one hand at Amsu with a sign of silence or stop, while the other held the staff firmly. If the staff really spoke, why not answer the questions she asked to the group. Perséfone returned to her usual expression, serious and cold as she looked at the curious talking staff.

"I am Perséfone Miyuki Firnpyre, the one who is holding you right now. I suppose the most capable in here is..." She paused for a moment to look out of the corner of her eye at Horace and Amsu, and then returned her attention to the staff. "Well, the most capable is me."
Barry
***W h e e z e***

*There is no way Amsu is allowing this to happen. A thief and a enabler vying for a staff that they think is very shiny, now revealed to be an* ***Actual person***, *So obviously they're going to do some weird stuff to it. The only place that staff belongs in, is that caravan that just so happened to drop it... Maybe a inn or church if she could get reverted out of that form easily. Although, he had a small moment of clarity when he was about to get flustered about these two anger inducing people in front of him. He was basically outnumbered by seemingly bad people...*

*It sucked that they were a decent way away from any guards or public places. In this circumstance it was probably best to just give up and let them have the fancy stick, but because there was a person in it... He had to secure their safety!*

"Funny, but no. I'm returning her to those caravan people who had her in the first place... More likely visit a school of magic to see if they can fix this. You two however, since you've gotten along quite well, should help each other pick up those silver coins! Thieving from someone who doesn't care is 'fine', but I won't let you even think you could start kidnapping someone!"
Meredith
Horace looks away from the girl and staff with a chuckle mumbling *"What kind of name is that?"* The elf then clears his throat and looking back at the two.

"My name's Horace Caranaro, im a thief, and that little lady right there's probably is the most capable..." He would look down, *"Did I just diss myself? Oh whatever..."* 

He would then turn around putting his hands in his pockets. Yawning with an immense bordom, seemingly from Amsu's nagging.

"Look kid, I don't know who you think you are but if I wanted that staff id already be half way down the road with it. Besides, if the caravan was this careless about their stuff it means they don't care anyways. As for kidnapping, they have already been kidnapped, if anything we are their saviours. Think about it, what if that girl was abducted and turned into a staff?"
Paul
"Huh you guys sure jump to conclusions a great lot when I'm literally right here, could've asked me if I was abducted, kidnapped, stolen or what have you! I wasn't turned into a staff by them, to those people in the caravan they think I'm just a regular staff, I didn't want to speak and reveal that I was something more because I felt that there might be a chance that someone there wanted to keep me and I'd rather not have a merchant own me. I sought someone who would be able to put me to good use and also help me turn back into a regular person again." *Seraphina would say just being her regular old staff self. She was curious about this whole little group that had found her, interesting Horace Canaro, Cararano or whatever he was a thief huh? And he seemed to agree that this woman was the most capable, Persefone hmmm and this other person who ever they were seemed to be quite the nice do-gooder with his nagging. She was interested to learn on what each of their skill sets were*
Barry
~~***Violently snaps staff over knee for saying her***~~
Estella
"Sorry if I didn't listen, but how did you become a staff? Is that your skill or did someone out there turn you into that thing?

Perséfone held the staff carefully, after all she was a person turned into an object. She stopped for a moment to think how bad it must be, to be turned into a staff! Or have you ever imagined being turned into a fork? It must be really bad. Perséfone sighed and looked at the two men behind her, her eyes rolling and returning to the staff in her hands. The Kitsune had a lot to do, but could she use the staff to her advantage? It could be pretty bad seen by others, so she kept that thought to herself.

"We could help you, I think. If the *Other two children* There want to, we help you to become a person again."
Barry
I didn't know horace counted as two people

~~and the joke goes out for a homerun, I guess no one saw it.~~

`I'll just post and then die slowly`
Michael
What was the joke???
Barry
*Amsu deeply breathed out a sigh as he crossed his arms, adopting a rather defeated look on himself as he just gave up trying to get them to leave. At least they seemingly both wanted to help the girl, which he should later thank Bast for that miracle. He still couldn't really trust the both of them, with how they both handled each other. Maybe he could just report them to the guard when they get into the city? If they even were going to the city to help fix this...*

"Fine. Since at least one of you wants to actually help the girl, I'm staying to help figure things out... And if we are actually going to help her, we should go to the city and have her enchantments identified. I don't really know how most of that stuff works, but I'm absolutely sure that spells can't last for this long. Just so I know with certainty though, could you tell me how long you've been like that?"

*Having shifted his focus to the staff with person trapped inside it, he did his best to speak calmly. It was a bit hard to do with these two people at his side, but Amsu would have to get used to it... The thief would probably leave sooner or later when he realized he couldn't steal the fancy stick.*
