"Get it back yourself" was what he sorely wanted to say, to leave this creature to its own devices, but... "I simply... lost it. I can make this worth your time if you are willing to get it back for me." they say, still shuffling those cards with the ease of one up to no good. Itchy hands can make light fingers, wasn't that something of having a busy hand when speaking to someone. "Whee me." the drake asked, staring down his snout at the individual. "I saw your keenness when working at the cafe. You are not a simple ssashirk, and we both know this." Warning bells of wrongness tolled faintly in the back of his mind as Flare kept his face and hopefully his thoughts in order. His instincts were on the defensive. "This task may be well worth your own while, and give you..." Whatever was said got drowned out by a passerby group of yodeling carolers. 16 7.20

"No." the drake states once the yodeling carolers are long gone and the three can hear each other. Straight, simple, to the point. "Not interesssted." He draws his foot out from under Shabh's butt and gives him a little tug, urging the rakai to get up and walk again. Giving any more thought of the individual with cards absolutely nothing. The belled individual smirks instead, finishing shuffling the cards. "Foolish one. You won't be able to resist finding that thing for me. It will nip your every thought; before you sleep, as you eat, caring for your mutt beasts... it will enrapture your mind until you must MUST find it... hehehe..." and vanishes. Flare got back to the garden, releasing Shabh from his rope and letting the rakai wander to his spot to do whatever. Somehow the hunk of jerky had made it home. What a strange thing; and a strange request. To find a thing that was in anothers possession... 17 8.20

He should've really not listened. For the planted seed of suggestion found its way very deep into the ssashirk's mind. Just a little nip of 'that thing, you know, THAT thing' here and there. Totally failing a wisdom save... The next few days went by, but Flare's workings of his garden and his minding of Shabh and the garden creatures felt disjointed and... distracted. Not even thinking about 'that thing', and then it popped up. What sort of thing was it even. But the drake would get back to work a moment later and put it out of his mind. It came back. Again. and agian. and again. The drake sighed, putting down his watering jar from giving the bonsais a weekly soaking. Wasn't interested, but really, what was that thing. The thing of which was spoken... He couldn't figure it out. And Shabh seemed very keen on being literally at his heels every step of the way, to the point of being stepped on. 18 9.20

A few more days pass, and the individual in the hat is loitering in front of the board, occasionally springing a seed of suggestion on an unwary passerby of man or woman. Not a child, never a child. They were too chaotic and would claim the thing for themselves. It had no true way of saying that was theirs, or the child's and the guardian would automatically side with the offspring and just too messy of a situation. Or of a beast; beasts were suggestive but only in a manner of physical being; and uninterested in finding trinkets. Whatever this 'thing' was. Its almost time to leave for the day, and he sees the drake again. Quite tired, this time around. Still towing around the runt canid, but is making a beeline straight for him. On closer examination, the seed is very rooted in this one. "What you want found." 19 10.20

Hook. line. Sinker. "Nothing much. I have lost an item that one such as yourself may be familiar with. A crystal cluster." On ordinary circumstances, the ssashirk would be realizing what was going on immediately. But the suggestion had him so roped into finding this crystal cluster he couldn't even think twice. Like this seed wouldn't vanish until he either took the quest in question or had whatever was going on... removed? "The one who owns that mansion outside of town has it. It may be in the grounds, it may be in the house itself. Probably both; its too unusual not to set it up for sight seeing. Do go get it back for me. I will be VERY PLEASED and it will be well worth your while." "I... I willdo it." the drake's words sounded disjointed and off kilter. The pup barks at the individual, barks again. "Go now. Go find me my object. Be swift. I will be waiting. Eagerly...." -end? 20 11.20 +4 levels, +4 loyalty Shabh
