Dust Devil stood atop a building, peering at the numerous dragons below. Her careful eyes examined the dragons almost boredly. The glint of gold was nowhere to be seen which disappointed her thoroughly. She sighed, tilting her head boredly. Through her tilted gaze, she spotted a particular dragon, which was rare as she didn't recognise any jewels of them yet. Slightly intrueged, she glided down into one of the alleyways, scanning the crowd for the dragon.

|~| Goanna walked down the busy street, inhaling the smells of the few food stalls around him, he kept his head down for most of his walk however he noticed a SandWing gliding down from a building, he didn't take much notice & decided to ignore her, turning his attention to a small stall selling some exotic looking animals which intrigued him |~|

"Like the animals do ya?" She chirped from the shadows. "Don't worry about that- the prices are way too high. I know a bargain price though." Dust Devil said happily, the implication clear from her repuation, but perhaps this dragon didn't know her.
Anthony
|~| Goanna flinched slightly at the sudden voice but turned to face where it'd come from |~| "I guess so, they do look cool, but I'd like to hear your bargain just in case I'm about to make a mistake I'll regret" |~| Goanna said in a calm voice, he didn't know who this dragon was but didn't really care who they were anyway |~|
Fannie
She smiled smugly. "With me, you see what happens, we don't talk." She said casually, giving the dragon a daring glance. She would yeild if she had to but she had to know where their morals and beliefs lied.
Anthony
|~| Goanna gave a simple nod |~| "Alright, that sounds fine" |~| Goanna replied calmly, flicking away a small fly from his ear |~|
Fannie
She gave a toothy grin. He was right. This will be fun. "Alright, follow!" She left the slitting shadows to the bright sun, her dusty, saturated scales envoloping the warm sun. She strided toward the entrance of the stall where the exotic animals chirped and growled. "Go talk to the main fella." She gestured to the stall owner.

"Just keep him busy." She reminded as she trodded off to look closely at a bird of many colours.
Anthony
|~| Goanna nodded & trotted over to talk to the stall owner |~| "Excuse me, I was just wondering what sort of animals these are, like the specifics y'know?" |~| Goanna asked in a polite tone as the stall owner turned to him with a sly grin & began explaining |~|
Fannie
Dust Devil looked too intrueged glancing at the bird, almost as if she'd eat the thing. She kept herself occupied with rummaging her claws in the dust below her, as if trying to find an imaginary lock to pick. Her ears flicked, listening to the progression of the duos conversation.
Carol
|~| The SandWing turned to face his customer, a small, sand-brown SandWing who looked quite young, he grinned knowing this would be an easy job for him |~| "Well son, these ones here are exclusive from the Rainforest Kingdom, very valuable, they're called peacocks |~| The stall owner said picking up a rather small cage with a large blue & green peacock inside |~|
Anthony
"Ooo, very nice but I'm looking for something more... Useful" |~| Goanna said, looking past the peacock & over at a pile of cages with a thin layer of cloth over them |~|
Carol
|~| The stall owner snorted & followed his gaze, his grin becoming wider knowing that this would mean he could charge the dragon more, he put the peacock down & walked over to the pile, lifting the cloth up & picking up a tank that housed a single adult Dragonbite Viper, he felt impressed with himself as he heard the dragon gasp quietly at the sight |~| "Ya looking for somethin' like this ey?"
Fannie
Dust Devil glanced at the dragon she accomponied then past the store owner. She kept her head down, wary her reputaion would get both of them caught before she could snatch something useful.
Anthony
"By the moons how'd you manage to get a Dragonbite Viper!?" |~| Goanna exclaimed, exaggerating his wonderment to try & coax the stall owner to ignore his companion who was lurking nearby |~|
Carol
"Well you see kid I found this beauty near the Rainforest & knew that it'd be a useful item to any dragon willing to pay the price" |~| The stall owner exclaimed before putting the tank on the stall-front letting the SandWing get a better look at the snake |~|
Fannie
Her sly grin widened, even if she willed it not to. She casually slid near the duo, trying her best not being suspicious. She was somewhat amused by her companions expression, she quietly snickered before swiping at the cage, the snake hissing. "Please, it's much more use to us being free so I'll have to.. Borrow this for a while."
Carol
|~| The stall owner let out a loud hiss |~| "Excuse you *Thief* But I only serve *Civil* Dragons like this fine SandWing here, *Understand*?" |~| He growled pointing at the darker SandWing before going to grab the tank away from the thief |~|
Fannie
"Oi! Dust Devil to you.. Honestly, some dragons" She rolled her eyes as she shook her head dismissivly, clearly not caring. She bent her arm back, dodging the swing. "Besides, you shouldn't act so civilised with your scamming ways, I should be the hero here!" Though she wasn't for sure about him being a scammer, it was always good to assume.
Carol
|~| The stall owner was taken aback at this accusation, he quickly went over all the ways he could get out of this situation before he lost a potential customer & profit but couldn't think of anything so he simply sat there opening & closing his mouth a few times |~|
Anthony
|~| Goanna forcefully stopped a snicker when he saw the stall owner's facial expression & lack of words |~|
Fannie
Dust Devil just flashed him a toothy grin, then glanced toward her companion for a moment and tilted her head, a silent question of whether he wanted the snake or not. She was vunruble to any attack the stall owner, but she figured he was too bamboozled for the moment.
Anthony
|~| Goanna turned slightly to his companion & nodded, then looked back at the stall owner who continued looking like someone just asked him if water was wet |~|
Fannie
"Let's go then!" She said triumphently and somewhat urgently, clinging the cage as the viper hissed and bared its fangs. "Don't fly, we're easier targets." She warned and left without confirmation of whether he would listen or not.
Anthony
|~| Goanna was dumbfounded for a split second before he heard the stall owner give loud yell & he knew he should probably follow her, he ran after her & caught up with her in a few seconds as he heard the stall owner roar out in anger at the duo as they ran off with the Viper in their claws |~|
Fannie
Dust Devil loved the adreniline pumping in her. She knew she could lose the stall owner easy in the busy streets of the Scorpion Den, but she turned to an open area with fewer dragons. The best part of stealing was the chase, after all.
Carol
|~| The stall owner quickly recovered after realising that the two dragons had just stolen his most valuable item |~| "HEY! GET BACK HERE!" |~| He roared loudly & angrily but knew he couldn't leave his stall in fear he would get robbed which would be worse if he lost the two of them, so he simply glowered in their direction with anger & hatred plastered on his yellow-white face |~|
Anthony
|~| Goanna followed her closely, trying to keep track of her among the sea of dragons that gave them curious or disapproving looks but didn't do anything to stop them either because they didn't care or they thought they'd be caught soon |~|
Fannie
She turned back, and slowed down slightly, mocking him with a silly expression. "Or what? You'll give us a slap on the wrist? Oh no! I'm so scared" She shouted patronisingly, twisting through the streets, navigating her way to an alley she had mapped in her mind.
Anthony
|~| Goanna waved to the stall owner quickly before continuing running, making sure he didn't run into anyone who was in his way |~|
