Agana followed the zolnixi's on their way to the cave. As he stopped at the entrance, he noticed a warning sign. "DANGER! Beware of Trolls, monsters, and worse!"

It didn't matter, Agana had his experiments to throw at them. But maybe he SHOULD team up with them, maybe...oh fine, he'd team with them.

"...Hey." Agana called out in a low voice."Are you heading to get the coal rock too?"

Feiht smiled knowingly. He had been waiting for that. Now what would the kid do?

Pine turned around.

'Yeah we are? Why?' Pine asked in a nice tone.

"I'd like to come too...You see, my family is very poor, so I'd like to come with you and split the money and give it to my mother and father..."

Agana lied. He needed to see if these two zolnixi's were kind enough, and were nice enough to forgive him for lying afterwards.

Pine looked in thought for a moment.

He then turned to the Sylestie. 'Sure you can tag along, but if we only get one rock, I would need at least 60.000 of the reward though. You see, I 10.000 goes to that guy (points to Feiht) and the other 50.000 is needed for suplies and travel reserves for me and my 3 friends.' Pine looked a bit guilty for asking that amount, but if he didn't his friends might get hungry or they might get hurt, and he really needed it to safe his familie.

'If that is ok with you... I am Pine by the way.'

Feiht just made eye contact with the black sylestie and smirked. He knew a lie when he heard one.
He made sure to show the new commer that. Besides the hint with his eyes he said nothing though.

'Allow me to introduce myself as well then. Feiht is my name, and indeed he ows me 10.000 gold. Though I myself am not fond of the idea of splitting it with you, this is Pine's little party so that will be that.'

He said all smooth and with hint of humor in his voice.

"Of course, 40k is enough, I already have 20k with me...Shall we go now?" Agana said as he waited patiently for Pine to respond. "Please address me by Agana."

'Sure! Lets do this thing. Nice to meet you Agana.'

Feiht just raised an eyebrow. 'Yeah very nice, can we go now kid, don't want to rush you or anything but your fam ain't getting any closer this way.'

Pine just glared at Feiht. 'I am aware of that thank you for your input.'
He looked at Agana. 'Never mind him, let's go.'

"Of course..." Agana raised an eyebrow at Pine. Family? It'd be interesting to see what would happen if I inferred more to this... Agana thought, walking behind the 2 zolnixis.

"What is this about family, Pine? Are you trying to...perhaps, find them?"

Pine looked down. 'Yeah, my familie got taken by people in Black and I am going to get them back. Before you start, don't say it is impossible or unlikely, I have been told that several times now. I am going and that is that.'

'Ah sorry, Don't want to bother you with this. Never mind. Let's go get that black coal rock. '
Pine said , his face up again, his voice filled with determination.

"Oh...Is that so?" Agana said, following the Zolnixis into the cave. This sylesti was so stupidly determined, but it was rather fascinating. "Where is it exactly though? The deepest part of this mine?"

Pine looked back, big smile on his face.

'I have no idea.'
