As Sevren took off towards the beach I sighed. "I was kidding!" I yelled after him, though I don't think he heard me. I chased after him, catching up to him just as he spoke.
"How long has that been there?" He pointed towards a bridge I'd never seen.
"I have no idea. You know, you'd think we would notice something that big. I mean, it's not like they can hide the stupid thing," I said, feeling as confused as Sevren had sounded. "And I was kidding about Azen getting taken by some mutant giant squid, just to let you know. He's probably sleeping somewhere."

MY short attention span could only let me focus on the bigger problem at hand, I (almost) forgot about Azen completely. "It looks like it leads to the inland," I told Kurt, who came running up beside me. My heart gave a leap. Maybe this was a way to reach Elsie!
Without thinking (again), I ran towards the entrance, where the bridge met the sand. I glowered, not trusting it, and threw a rock out onto it. The rock bounced but didn't do much else. That was enough motivation for me to be convinced that this thing was safe. I was still wary thought, and pondered changing into a snake to cross it. "Do you think it's safe?" I said to no one in particular again.

I sighed as Sevren took off towards the bridge. I followed him slowly, not quite sure that the bridge was completely harmless. ". . .safe?" I only caught the end of what he'd said, though I was pretty sure he hadn't been directing the question at me. I decided to ignore the question for now; if he had directed it at me he'd repeat it.
I looked at the rock he'd thrown onto the bridge, just sitting there on the wood. "So. . .I'm guessing you're going to try and cross?" I asked, assuming he'd thrown the rock to see if the bridge was stable. I reached out and put my hand on one of the rails and tried to shake it, to see how wobbly it was; it didn't move.

"I dunno......who knows what could be on the other side..." THe image of that parrot woman flashed through my head again, and I shuddered. I wasn't too keen on the idea of leaving the island, but there also wasn't much point in staying if Elsie wasn't here. And Hali said she wouldn't tell......but, what if something even more powerful and scary than Azen? .......Nah, impossible.
I blinked a couple of times and rubbed my eyes. THis was probably the most thinking I'd ever done in one sitting. My head hurt. I turned to Kurt, not trusting my own judgement anymore. Without Elsie, I was sure a wreck. "Should we go?"

(( Thanks, Jasper. -.- ))
[Kurt:]
"Should we go?"
I sighed. "Sure, why not? I just hope Hali and Azen don't get mad at us." I looked at Sevren, waiting to see if he was going to go first. He didn't move. "Are we going at the same time, or is one of us going to go first?" I asked, hoping he didn't send me out there ahead of him.

I quickly dashed behind him and gave him a little push. "You go 'head" I wasn't too excited on going so far out on water that I couldn't see the beach behind me. I mean, you can hear old stories about crazy people who have tried that, but no one should ever have to actually do it.
His comment about Azen and Hali also made me nervous. What if they did catch us? And more importantly why was Hali so aloof and Azen so....not here? I looked up at Kurt, waiting for him to step out.

(( Totally random. But, yay. Who's talking this time? It's not Gigo again, is it? O.o The last part with him talking was scary. ))
[Kurt:]
I sighed as Sevren pushed me forward onto the bridge. "Fine," I muttered taking a few cautious steps onto the bridge, hoping it wouldn't collapse underneath me. It seemed solid enough. I jumped once, just to test it. It didn't break or make any creepy sounds, so I figured it'd be safe enough with both of us walking on it at once. I turned back to Sevren and reached for his wrist. "Come on, it's not going to fall."

//It's TWO people this time ^^. Er...loose description of the word "people"...//
[Sevren]
I felt slightly reassured by Kurt, though I would still feel a whole lot better if someone would just fly me over it. I walked out onto the bridge, keeping my steps light like I did when I was dancing. THis also made it a lot less stressful to think about, for the surface beneath me really felt no different than the dias.
That didn't stop me from being paralyzed with I caught a view of the angry ocean waves tat seemed to leap up at me. I looked warily in front of me, dreading how far I would have to go. "How long do you think this runs? I mean, the shore can't be that far away from the island, right?" I don't really know why I was asking Kurt, but since he did wash up on our shore from the inland (and he was the only one here) it seemed natural to me that he would at least have some kind of idea.

// Steven and William? Or 'people' I don't know haven't met yet? //
[Kurt:]
"Uhm, I'm honestly not sure. I don't think it'd be too far, how else would they have been able to build a bridge? They wouldn't have had enough materials otherwise."'Or enough time to build it without people noticing.' I followed Sevren farther out onto the bridge, stopping when he did.
A huge wave crashed over the side of the bridge just ahead of us; I jumped back and bit my tongue to keep from screaming. "I don't think it likes us," I muttered, relieved that the wave hadn't broken the bridge's railing . . . Or the boards we were walking on.

//um...kinda both...I don't know really how to explain it//
[Sevren]
"Yeah, I know, and I don't wanna swim...." IT's not that I didn't like swimming, it's just ever since Elsie introduced me to flying, I never really saw the point. I wonder if Kurt liked the water, seeing as he was from the mainland and all.
"Well, it can't hurt to just keep going," I said, going back to my leap-first-think-later technique. But I couldn't help my nervousness, and I quickly looked up everytime even a small gull passed over us. I started thinking about Kurt after a while, and it took me a minute to remember that he was a python. THe only other one I'd heard of was when Azen told us stories of the Obsidian Guild.
"Hey, Kurt," I asked quietly, not wanting to pry too much, "Do you think maybe we'll find out who you are on the mainland? Wouldn't it be really weird if you were like a prince or something?" I spoke before thinking, because I knew Elsie wouldn't really laugh at anything (serious) I had to say. But Kurt might.

(( M'kay. =D By the way, the 'Kurt-might-be-a-prince thing was totally random. . . ))
[Kurt:]
"Yeah, I know, and I don't wanna swim...." I shruged, not really caring if we had to swim back to the island. . .as long as we weren't in the middle of nowhere, it wouldn't be too difficult. . .at least, I thought that it wouldn't be.
"Do you think maybe we'll fine out who you are on the mainland? Wouldn't it be really weird if you were like a prince or something?" I bit my lip to keep myself from laughing at how rediculous Sevren's idea sounded; me, a prince? Yeah, right.
"I doubt I'm a prince, Sevren. If I was, whoever my parents were would have put more effort into finding me than they did," I said, walking forward on the bridge again. I turned back and waited for him to follow me, my laughter under control now.

//LOL. I'm just throwing stuff out there trying to get a bite.//
[Sevren]
I tried to ignore how hard Kurt musthave had to bite his tongue to keep from laughing, but it was hard. I ran up beside Kurt and started walking again, amazed that the bridge didn't wobble as I did so.
"I'm serious!" I said with indignace. "Maybe some other kingly person took over and killed everybody and threw them into the sea! And you were the only one who survived. C'mon, you have to admit it could happen." It would explain why I'd heard from the merchants that there weren't many Burmese pythons out there.
Before he could laugh again, I added with a sour look, "You're lucky Elsie's not here, she has even weirder ideas than me." Most of the time.......okay about 65 percent of the time......

// A bite? What do you think they are, fish? //
[Kurt:]
I sighed. "Sevren, I don't think I'm a prince, okay? Yes, it's possible. But it's also unlikely." Where did he get these ideas? Seriously, they were. . .way out there. Who would honestly think that I could be a prince? (Other than him, I mean.)
"You're lucky Elsie's not here, she has even weirder ideas than me."
I looked down at him. "Well then, I guess I am pretty lucky. The two of you would probably try to tell me that I was part falcon." I tried to keep a straight face, but it didn't work too well.

"Sevren, I don't think I'm a prince, okay? Yes, it's possible. But it's also unlikely."
"Well there's no need to be so belligerent about it," I muttered under my breath. I wanted to snap at him, and ask him what he thought he was then, but I was going to travel with this guy for who knows how long, and I figured keeping my mouth shut would be better.
My eyes widened and I came to a standstill as he mentioned the half-falcon business. "Are you?" I managed, my voice heightening a little.

"Are you?" Sevren's voice squeaked, and I sighed.
I crossed my arms over my chest and stared at him. "Don't you think if I was half falcon that I'd have wings or some other trait that would mark me so? You said she had weirder ideas than you. I just said an example of an idea that's weirder than you thinking I'm a prince, okay?" I didn't want to be mean to the kid, honestly, but it was absolutely rediculous that he believed me. Obviously, he didn't mark many things as being impossible.
