Madison sat on a rock, perched daintily on the edge with legs crossed left over right, the left foot wrapped around her right ankle slightly, giving a sinuous, flexible appearance, something that was absolutely right for her. Her tail swayed lazily, coiling occasionally as it stabbed at the air with its arrowhead- shaped tip. In a thin, clawed hand she held a simple paper bag that was loaded up with candied fruit that she occasionally plucked from the bag and put in to her mouth just as daintily as her posture suggested she might be capable of, although the cat-like teeth and prominent, pointed incisors cast a confusing cloud over her if anyone were to notice them. She watched the entrance with a dispassionate boredom, her wings twitching now and again with the contained -albeit poorly - sense of stagnation she was feeling; she wanted to be doing something, but she wasn't sure what right now, so she was sitting and thinking it out, and finding that thinking was largely boring.
She uncrossed her legs and then crossed them again, so that this time the right leg was over the left, a booted foot flexing idly as she started to hum a tune, a happy but subtle thing that was largely gifted with thematic dissonance as the occasional 'om nom nom' broke through and messed up the tune, although she was oblivious to the effect, her head started to tilt side to side a little as she coaxed herself in to 'la-ing' her way through the tune, red bunches swaying just a little, equally red eyes blinking softly in a distracted manner as she went off -partially at least, no one in Salamander was ever truly at rest outside their own home - in to her own little world.~

~The audible poof of his teleporting would give him away, just before his whispering, playful voice would. Only visible from the ledge would be his nose and up, messy hair and somewhat dirty face, as well as all the clawed fingers of one hand. The nimble imp easily perched against the vertical wall, needing nearly no foot holds for his claws to keep him there.~
"...Maddy has candies.. "
~He peeked at her a little more, from directly in front of Madison, revealing the rest of his face. A single sharp incisor would be visible as a happy-yet-mischievous grin spread to one side of his mouth, his eyes, red and extremely bright, glowed in the same playful manner.~

~The 'shumpf' noise as the air displaced and Agetsu poofed into the entrance were distinct and easy to identify, especially to other imps, but even with the potential problem of another imp appearing right near her, Madison didn't shift at all, nor seem alarmed really, although the tune she had been la-ing her way through trailed off in to silence as he started to speak. Whether by means of pheromones, special signatures that only imps knew from a teleportation, or maybe just sheer bond of friendship, she knew it was her simple best friend, pointed ears pricking up reflexively as she listened to him speak, a raucous giggle slipping from her lips unbidden as she extended an arm, holding out the candies to share - of course she would share them, there was not a thing that one of them liberated that the other didn't get part of in some way, whether it be something shiny broken in half, or like this instance where they were sharing the spoils of misappropriated food.~
Candies that I borrowed from a nice person who won't mind that they are gone, so help yourself 'Getsu....Where you been?

~His facial expression beamed brightly, overjoyed that Maddy would share with him, even though he was used to it by now. After climbing up a little more he swiftly and gladly reached into the bag, producing one of the candied fruits. It would disappear into his mouth in a flash, and Agetsu chewed happily like a kid with.. well.. candy.
Before answering, he decided to show exactly how much he had been missing his best friend by growling playfully and suddenly lunging at her, aiming to pounce and tumble with the other imp.
His wings and tail flailed about, dust kicking up as he tackled Madison in a not-exactly-careful manner. He had a small sack tied at his waist that jingled of metal as they rolled around. When they would come to a stop, he rolled to one side laughing, and then started to talk while still chewing a little on the fruit in his mouth.~
"I been hunting shiny-things of course! ..Boy, those are yummy.." ~He saw a fruit that had spilled in their little tussle into the dirt patched surface they sat on and quickly snatched it up. An imp wouldn't in a million years care of such things as germs and the like that you couldn't see, so he only bothered to blow on it once before tossing the fruit in his mouth.~ "You want t'see?"

Waah!
thud
~Part of her knew that was coming really, she could have avoided it without too much trouble as she could teleport just like him....Well, not just like him. Her teleporting was....A little quirky, but the point remained that the flying Agetsu mark 1, was not outside of her ability to avoid. The total forward momentum caught her and carried her bodily from her perch on the rock, making her bounce to the floor rear first, and then make complete revolution before she ended up back on her rear again for a moment before she was on her back; Agetsu was made of springs and she weighed less than paper, it was a combination made for comedy tumbling.
She sat up as much as she could and hugged him, ruffling his hair with a laugh as she flexed her wings, checking them for injury in the tumble, and finding none, her voice filled with the same ludicrous energy that was possession of all imps to a certain extent.~
I missed you too 'Getsu. Don't you go shoveling all those candies or you'll be green as the swamps before lon.....Shiny things?
~Her ears perked up as she watched him liberate a candy from the floor, interest won absolutely by the promise of something shiny to see, red eyes like saucers now.~

~With his hands free of candies, Agetsu would make quick work of detaching the drawstring pouch from his hip, although he fumbled at the knot for a second. Imps didn't exactly tie shoe laces very often, but we're pretty dexterous anyway. Soon he upturned the pouch on the floor between them, and a random lot of metal objects noisily spilled on the floor. All the items would range in value randomly as well, from worthless pieces of broken metal, an old tarnished bronze ring and a matching bracelet, to a couple more valuable ancient coins and a particularly dazzling small dagger. The dagger had a short and very sharp black blade, along with a bejeweled and ornate handle, covered in what looked like bright red rubies--a beautiful small weapon.~
"Careful, that one's sharp!" ~The dagger had been expertly corked on the pointy end with a small piece of drift wood. Agetsu was no stranger to losing his whole stash of treasures due to one of them being sharp enough to tear his bag, so he had learned from that one. However, it wasn't the dagger he seemed interested in, for all he knew it was as valuable as a kitchen's butter knife. He would pick an item up and flip it around, studying at it carefully, before moving to the next. He picked up the ring and rolled it between his clawed fingers. It would seem each object was equally valuable to him, all falling under the category of "shiny".~
~He pushed the objects around with his palms to spread them out, perfectly okay with Maddy picking things up that she wanted to look at or keep. She was his best bud, and he'd give a lot more than his stash of shinies to her, should she ever ask.~
"What you think? Pretty good haul, huh?" ~His arrow-tipped tail swung side to side behind him, very catlike. He was proud of his treasures and his excitement showed in the random twitchy flutter of his small bat-like wings.~

~She watched with undivided attention as he emptied out his stash of gubbins on the floor, which to anyone else might make it look more like trash than treasure; the appearance of some of it would certainly lend more credence to that theory. Being aware of somethings value is subjective though, and as far as Agetsu was concerned, it was all gravy. She could tell that right away, and knew from past experience that he was phenomenally easy to please, it was the same with her too. The main difference came in their abilities to appraise, and as such Madison was reaching out tentatively for the blade, picking it up by the handle gingerly, looking at it with a thoughtful expression with her tail swishing side to side as she squinted a little at the astounding workmanship of the blade, looking to Agetsu with a questioning expression.~
Where'd you get this buddy? I think it's really valuable... Maybe really dangerous, it looks really sharp like you said....
~She felt a sense of tingling apprehension that ran all the way down her wings while she was holding the blade, extending all the way to the very tips with a nervous twitch as she wracked her brain for any tales of something like this going missing. She didn't know anything about smithing, or even the quality of a cut of a jewel - she liked them in a more natural state anyway - but she knew that this blade was likely extremely valuable, her chest tightening a little with the thought that pickaxed its way in to her mind - what if this belonged to the Empress? Her innards felt cold at the very notion, but she didn't show it, smiling curiously to Agetsu as she waited to hear where he had found it. Please let it be some idiot Noble's weapon, or something he had found in the swamps where some adventurer had died....~

~He tongued at one of his teeth as a small bit of the fruit was stuck there and bothering him, but was through with that after just a little while. Soon he returned his attention to Madison and smiled happily~
"You think so??" ~He grinned even more, enjoying her appraisal.~ "I saw it from a tree all the way down on the coast--I have sharp eyes you know. I think somebody crashed and died on the rocks there or somethin' cause that's where I found lots of these things."
~Proof should she need it would be in the small piece of drift wood corking the pointy end of the dagger. However, Agetsu was not in the habit of telling Madison anything but the truth, especially when it came to something she might be concerned about being 'dangerous' as she had put it. He had come to trust her with such things as danger, as she often helped get him out of trouble, and knew the best policy in such a situation would be to tell her everything he knew and let her help sort out what to do next.~
~Though a little danger by now might be entertaining. It had grown somewhat stale lately and he was up for some mischief. ~
"Think we could make a whole life's fortune if we sold it to somebody? Is it a um.. jackpot?" ~He tilted his head curiously at Maddy, wondering if his words had come out clearly enough. He reached for one of the old rings and tried it on his fingers until it fit one, then looked at his open hand, curling and uncurling his fingers curiously.~

I dunno if it's worth that much 'Getsu, least not to most people, it might be worth an awful lot to a specific person or two though. We'll keep it for now and see what's happening - if someone is looking for it and they're important, we're best just throwing it away for someone else to find. Hard-headed rich folks are one thing, but I don't want trouble with Her Ladyship and her agents...
~Her tail swished idly, kicking up motes of dust from the floor as she pondered the situation a little more, smiling slightly and reaching out to poke the ring he had put on his finger; 'Getsu was as loyal as they came, but he wasn't the sharpest pizza slice in the box, and she wanted to make sure she had his attention for what she was going to say next, lest he get himself in to some trouble she couldn't bail him out of.~
For now, we'll keep it hidden and see if anyone is causing a big fuss looking for it. If they are, then we'll probably just throw it away; if not, we can probably sell it for a fair sum of money, no one will think that courier imps are the actual seller anyway. Don't go showing the dagger around though, or talking about it, 'kay 'Getsu?
