It is evening, the sky is cast in a firey glow, as the group of three has reached the outskirts of the quaint city Stonebluff...

Galen: "Finally! We're out of those forsaken woods!"(u_u)
Edeline: "You complain too much..." (;^_^)
Galen: "Hmfph..." (u_u)
Faeda: "Let's find a nice inn to stay, once we get into town." (^_^)
Edeline: "That's the plan!" (^_^)
Galen: "And maybe some grub, I'm starving!" (u_u)
Faeda: "You're so grumpy, Galen!" (^o^)

Just then a group of men rush by, authorities of Stonebluff, nearly knocking the group of three into the orange glowing road. "Hey!" growls Galen. "He went this way!" one man shouts, ignoring the group. "Hey!" shouts Galen again, "Don't you see people walking here! Apologize now or you'll regret it!!!" "Um..." blushes Faeda. "WHAT?" yells Galen. "They left." grins Edeline. There was no one around, "Looks like you're not gonna get that apology." "Grr, shut up!" snaps Galen. Faeda giggles.
At that moment, there is a rustle in the nearby brush. "What now!?" frowns Galen. "Hmm," says a voice, "What a nice giggle you have, my dear." Coming out of hiding, was a well dressed man, with long frost-colored hair. He has the most beautiful and unique eyes, as he gave Faeda and Edeline the most alluring smile.

Edeline: "My...my-my-my-my-my..." (o_o)
Faeda: (*^_^*)
Galen: "Who the hell are you!?" (o_O)
???: "I must be the luckiest man alive, for I have traveled all of Serenity and have never seen such beauty, as I do now." (^_^)
Galen: "Pfft! What a lame pick-up line. Who would fall for that? Right, girls?" (^_-)
Edeline: "Tee-hee!" (*_*)
Faeda: (*_*)
Galen: "'Tee-hee'??? What the-???" (o_o)
Andir: "I am Andir, Traveler Extraordinaire!" (^_^)V
Galen: "You just made that title up!" (>_>)

Still ignoring Galen, the handsome gentleman leaned in and kissed each of the girls' hands. They giggled like two school girls! "Wait!" gasps Galen, "Edeline doesn't giggle!!!" "Maybe you should follow us," offered Edeline, "The authorities are after someone, it could be dangerous for you to be wandering alone." "How nice of you to offer," he bowed politely, "But, I'm sure I will be alright." "...Being that the authorities are after YOU." growled Galen. Andir gave him a long dark stare, suddenly noticing that Galen was there now. "You're not as dumb as you look." Andir stated plainly. "WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN???" roared Galen.
"Wait," said Edeline, clearly disappointed, "They're after you? Why?" "Was it a misunderstanding?" asked Faeda, hopeful. "Life is full of misunderstanding." sighed Andir, "I seem to run into many, in my life. Bad luck, I guess." "Hey..." said Galen, staring at the guy, "Haven't I seen you on a wanted poster, somewhere?" "Most likely," shrugged Andir, "I often loose track." Both girls frown and began inching their way closer to Galen. "You girls are nice," smiled Andir, "How about you two become my companions, ditch the loser, and we can travel Serenity together! ...Just, um... hand me all of your gold and help me bind this jerk."

Edeline: "WHAT???" (o_o)
Faeda: "Are you crazy!?" (o_o)
Galen: "I'll break your neck!" W('O')W
Andir: "Well, ladies... you really didn't think I'd let you travel with me, without payment, did you? I mean, come on... just look at me! It's natural to pay, just to have the privilege to be around me." (^_^)
Edeline: "He can't be serious!" (o_o)
Galen: "I'll kill you slowly!" W('O')W
Andir: "Pity... and you girls really are the prettiest I've come across so far. We would have made a beautiful bandit team! ...guess I'll have to kill you instead." (;^_^)
Galen: "I've been waiting all day!" W('O')W

Andir pulls a dagger from his cloak and charges after Faeda! "Eeek!" she screams and is pulled from the blade by Galen. "HEY!" Galen growls, "Going after a helpless girl, how weak! Why don't you pick on someone your size!" "Whatever," sighed Andir, "I do enjoy killing the girls first, but this time I'll make an exception... prepare to die!"
Andir moves with lightning-speed jabs, trying desperately to cut into the quick dodging Galen. "Stay still," Andir yells, "So I can cut ya!" "Yeah," scoffs Galen, still ducking, "As if I'm going to listen!" "You can not escape my moves for very long!" laughed Andir, nearly getting closer with every slash. "You're right..." mumbled Galen, begining to feel tired, "Therefore..." He kicks the knife right out Andir's hand, sending it into the brush.

Andir: "Hey! No fair! You kicked!" (o_o)
Galen: "Well, you bought a knife to a fist fight! How fair is that?" (>_>)
Andir: "It's VERY fair to me!" (u_u)
Galen: "Gah! You've lost the cheese to your cracker, a long time ago, didn't you?" (o_O)
Andir: "Muh-ha-ha-ha-ha!" (^o^)
Galen: (o_o)

"Stop talking and finish him off!" screamed Edeline. "Oh," blushed Galen, "Right..." He quickly punched Andir in the stomach, knocking him into a tree with a huge thud. Faeda winched and Edeline cheered. "That was a little too easy." Galen muttered, as the thief slides to the ground. A second later, Andir stands back up triumphantly!!! ... but then hunches over. "Ow!" he screamed, "My back!" "Um..." sighed Faeda, "Maybe we should turn him over to the authorities." "Nah," waved Galen, "Maybe I should just finish him off now." "Galen!" frowned Edeline, "He's a person, not a monster!" "That's a matter of opinion!" growled Galen. "Um, guys." frowned Faeda. Andir had disappeared.
"That's just great..." frowned Galen, "While we were yakking, the psycho-prince got away!" "Don't worry," said Faeda, softly, "I have a feeling that we will meet with him again soon." "Eee!" shudders Edeline, "What a thought!" "Well," yawned Galen, "Let's move on." The three head into town of Stonebluff, ready for a hot meal and a warm bed...
