|And who are you?| it asked, probing his mind gently through the link.

'I'm Jing....' he replied, gently patting the surface of the shell. 'Do you have a name...?'

Ooc; I'm back, if you're on. ^-^ Bic; The blue egg let out a soft sighing noise. |Very pleased to meet you, Jing. I have no name as of yet, I believe that will be decided if and when I hatch.| It paused, then added uncertainly, |You seem different than the others who have tried to speak with me. Perhaps you are the one destined to hatch me?|

'Oh.... well...I'd very much like to hatch you. I'm curious as to what you look like, what you act like...but I'm no sure if I have enough to trade for you...'

|Oh. I see...| it murmured softly, drifting away slightly. |Well, I guess you can't help that...| It trailed off. Althea studied Jing curiously. "Oi, whatcha doin'?" she demanded after a moment, getting a bit bored.

He pulled his hand back again. "There's an egg in there I want..." He began, tilting his head slightly, trying to think of a way to say what he meant to get across.

Althea looked at him sideways, the smirk coming back again. "Aand...?" she drawled. She leaned close, grinning toothily. "How badly do you want it? How much are you willing to give up?"

"And I'm not entirely sure I have enough items of your particular interest to pay it off. I'm curious enough to give you two of my best artifacts, but I still doubt it would be enough..." He started trying to figure out some way he could persuade her to let him fall into debt, with monthly payments or something.

She examined him, eyes twinkling dangerously. "I see," she said at last, smiling smugly. "And what might these artifacts be?" She paused. "And... What might you do to get it if they aren't enough?"

He scratched the back of his head. "The pearl necklace with the sapphires on it, plus a jeweled sword and sheath." He said, looking a little upset to be letting go of these treasures. "And I'm willing to go into debt. Either you trust me enough to let me send the best item I find each month, or you come with me until I pay everything off."

Althea considered this for a moment, stroking her chin as though she had an imaginary beard. "I'm not much one for decorative things," she replied finally. "Don't have much use for dangly jewelry and stuff, 'cept maybe to sell it. I'd take the sword, but that's not quite enough..." She frowned, thinking hard. "I certainly won't trust you, sorry 'bout that, but life's learned me enough not to do stuff like that. And I don't know if I can spare several months to follow you around instead of making my own travels, I've got places to go, things to do... Hrmm..."

He puffed out his cheeks in slight frustration, though he said nothing for fear of angering her and jacking up the price.

"I have an idea, now," Althea said slowly, lips twisting into a sly grin. "What say you come with me, help out on my travels and such, for a few months? That and the sword'd call it even."
