"Wait!" |~| Goanna began, clearing his throat slightly |~| "You shouldn't take that vase, I know you're a thief & all but it's not worth stealing that vase trust me, I've seen a house that has vases made of pure diamond!" |~| Goann said, pacing over to the window & pointing to a large, two story house with a fence & two mean looking SandWings beside the door |~| "It's that house right there in fact, I've been there once & they ow a whole room full of diamond & gold vases, ornaments & antiques for you to steal!" |~| Goann exclaimed turning back to face Dust Devil & extending his talon for the vase |~|
David
Dust Devil hissed, moving backward. Her arm wavered, obviously tired. "Please," She began almost too casually, "Why would one own so many vases? Please, if you're going to lie, try harder." She didn't know whether it was a lie or not, but it seemed like one. "If you should pardon me, I'll be going now," She took a steady step toward the window and prepared her wings for flight.
Adam
|~| Goanna crinkled his nose slightly |~| "Why would I lie? I have no reason to lie, especially not about a wealthy family lie them, I also wouldn't advise flying with that vase, you seem a little exhausted from carrying it & you may drop it while flying, that wouldn't be good for either of us would it?" |~| Goanna asked in a rhetorical way, not really expecting an answer |~|
David
She paused, blinking. "Why are you helping me?" Her brow furrowed, skeptical.
Adam
"Well, I mean, it's just the kind of dragon I am I guess" |~| Goanna said sheepishly with a small shrug |~|
David
Imma be afk for a 5 mins

Dust Devil blinked, thinking for a moment. "Well, cya." With that she leapt out of the window, spreading her wings wide as she just caught herself with the cold wind before hitting the dusty, rocky pavement below. With both arms now avaliable, she tucked them around the vase and cradled it in her palms as she flew off, her flight low and near the streets as if finding her next prey. Noticing something, she swooped down into an alley.
Adam
|~| Goanna watched as she flew off, after a moment he flew after her, keeping out of sight as he landed near where she'd gone |~|
David
Dust Devil laid the vase down on an old matress before landing in the familiar alley. Though this, it seemed too quiet. Dust Devil looked around boredly, readjusting her wings as she stretched. "Look, I know you're there snail-brain. So hurry up and show yourself before I go to sleep."
Derrick
"Aw, come on you're no fun." He teased, appearing from the shadows. He had a white mask and a bit of an accent for a SandWing living in the Scorpion Den. He also seemed above it all, despite being anchored with dust, which, of course was inevitable.
David
Dust Devil rolled her eyes bumping his shoulder playfully as he approached, standing by her. "You think I should become a florist?" She asked, gestering the rolled up paper and scrolls which poked out of the vase.
Derrick
"Pff- I'd like to see you sell that. What are they anyway?"
David
"I'm not selling it- they're good firestarters!" She announced, wrinkling her snout at him, hiding her true intentions. "Besides they're only a few designs for stuff. Barely significant."
Adam
|~| Goanna watched the two from around a large box, keeping out of sight of the two as they conversed with one another |~|
Derrick
His draped white cloak flowed as he went to tap the gemstones embedded in the vase. "Impressive, it's real." He commented, tilting his head in surprise. "Yeah well you're not gettin' it." Replied Dust Devil, who, despite her smaller size, her determination was scary enough. "Relax, it's all yours." He replied, feeling the gold once more, smiling fondly with a sad glint in his black eyes.
David
Dust Devil scoffed. "Alright, out! Scram!" She announced to her friend harshly, but there was mirth in her eyes. She tsked as he left. "Good for nothin' theif." She muttered loud enough for her friend to hear. He barked a laugh that echoed through the alley, calling back: "Doublecrosser!" In which Dust Devil scoffed once again, smiling as she readjusted the vase to be beneath her mattress.

Tentatively, she grabbed a piece of paper, unwrapping it to reveal a beautiful design that Dust Devil wouldn't admit she liked.
Adam
|~| Goanna stayed where he was, quietly observing until he accidentally kicked a small bottle his talon, making a rolling noise, he quickly ducked around the box, looking for a place he could slip into |~|
David
Dust Devil perked up, ear flicking. She growled. Rolling the paper back up and putting it inside the vase. With a few wingbeats she managed her way to the sound. She knew she should probably defend instead of being offensive, but what story what that make? "Look, Friend, I know you want the vase, but really? Sneaking up on me again?" She mused to herself, though she wasn't sure if it was him or not. Her shoulders were tensed as she peered at the box, slowly pacing toward it.
Adam
|~| Goanna continued to slink around the box, squeezing between the wall & the edgs before finding himself behind Dust Devil, he stayed still as she moved towards the box before creeping over & taking the vase from under the bed, almost falling over due to the weight of it before catching himself & taking off, accidentally hitting something with his tail while hoping Dust Devil didn't hear it |~|
David
Dust Devil did, in fact, hear the bottle crash on the ground, sending broken glass flying. "Oi! Just 'cause I live on the streets doesn't mean I don't value not piercing my foot every time I step!" She yelled, grumbling as she took flight. She lazily flew behind him, gliding most of it. "I rightfully stole that you know!" She beat her wings faster, flying just underneth him, getting ready snatch the vase back.
Adam
"By the snakes" |~| Goanna mumbled under his breath as he heard Dust Devil fly after him, as he noticed her getting ready to snatch the vase back he suddenly pulled back, the air current pushing him away from Dust Devil as he turned around & flew towards the  to try & lose her in the crowd |~|
David
She hissed at the disappearence, huffing (as all she wanted to do was sleep,) she took a sharp turn, only just seeing him land in the bustling marketplace.
