"EEK!" squealed Beruna as she was snatched up from behind and heard an evil laugh. the hand was gripping her tightly, and her head couldn't turn far enough to see her captor, all she could see was that the hand that held her was orange. suddenly, the hand was moving, as was the body attached to it and manus' voice was calling out for jack. "manus?" asked the diminutive fairy who was rewarded with another horrible laugh, and the hand released her. "YOU PIG! that was not funny!" Beruna began beating manus about the head as best she could, though he barely noticed the blows. "i thought you were seriously injured..." Beruna was on the verge of tears "i didn't know what happened, you just suddenly fell and your back just sort of popped out!" "yeah, i know. my body isn't exactly solid, so i can remove some parts of my body at will, just not for too long, lest it lose it's attachment enchantment" manus couldn't repress a smile as he began searching for jack. "JACK! WHERE ARE YOU MAN?"
