It was dangerous to be here. Jaks knew that. A little bemused over the fact he'd been warned that 'Fell is dangerous, make sure you don't have any mages with you.' A scoff and a roll of his eyes had been his answer to that. No shit Fell was dangerous. Everywhere was dangerous if you didn't have a group of people with you.

At least they were here though, camp was set up, they were getting ready to go some serious scavenging and digging and Jaks had always had his little exciment dance in his head. Back in his element. Away from society. Away from people. With distaste he recalled the other person that got hired along with him and the modest crew. His partner for the trip. A wrinkle of his delicate nose while he lit the lamp he'd pulled outside his tent. Just thinking of her left an annoyed taste in his mouth.

He was sure that's what annoyance tasted like. Her.

Jaks sharpened his doodling tool. Or rather, he went to sharpen it before he realized he'd left his knife in the tent. A scoff, his sketchbook placed on the ground beside the tent - the first few pages were dog eared together, to keep them from flipping to those pages accidentally- and he crawled back in for the knife. The flap fell closed and he contemplated for a few moments if he really wanted to bring it back out or if he wanted to just draw until it was all one big dark charcoal-y mess.

And out with the knife Jaks went, blowing hair from his face and frowning at how the lamp had moved a little to the left when he knew he didn't do it. The moon wasn't playing tricks on his sight so he cast a quick look around, frowning at anything outside the ring of light. Someone had been touching his things.

Delicately, Jaks placed it to where it had been and went about sharpening his drawing tool. Still looking up to glare at nothing.

On the other side of the campsite a straggler group stumbled their way off to their tents after an evening of merriment, some of them still singing drunkenly and off-key as they went. Starbright waved them off with a smile as she peeled herself away and caught sight of light in the distance where she knew her co-partner's tent was situated. Ever on the look out for a chance to drag the sulking elf into her games and fun with the others, she immediately skipped her way closer.

Once she could see the outline of the tent in the dark though, Starbright slowed, coming up behind Jaks as she noticed his intense focus on the darkness before him. It took everything in the young woman not to giggle as she planned a surprise 'attack' on him. It was a miracle in her opinion that even in her tipsy state she had not already given herself away as in no time she was standing behind him. Swiftly bending to be at his level, her face beside his she boomed, "watchya doin'?" In the same moment her eyes alighted upon an open book which caught her attention as the pages rattled in the wind.

Jaks had just moved the lamp back to it's original spot, deciding that, indeed, that was a good place for it, opened the sketchbook to a new fresh page after smoothing out the paper. Then there was a voice, right beside his head and Jaks reacted in the only appropriate way. The sketchbook was tossed slightly and he'd scrambled away on his knees with a yelp, staring over his shoulder with wide green eyes. The surprise and fear quickly turned into hot anger and the wide eyes slowly went slitted in a deep glare.

"What is your problem!?" Jaks barked, casting his eyes to the sketchbook quickly. It was on one of those forbidden pages. A still life of a large man sleeping peacefully. Jaks snarled at it before he shuffled over on his knees to pick it up slowly. Maybe if he didn't react to it like it was a big secret she wouldn't ask him about it. It was a sketchbook with sketches in it, that's what they were for, right? Right.

"You know, sneaking up on people is unwise. What if I had a knife? I don't. But what if I did?" And Jaks reached for his sketchbook, trying to look uninterested in it.

GoblinFae

Starbright snorted and rolled her eyes in disinterest. "You'd have dropped it faster than a hot potato if your current reaction is anything to go by." Ignoring his nonchalant maneuverings, she swooped in and snatched up the sketchbook that had claimed her interest as Jaks seemed so greatly opposed to answering her question anyway.

"Now what's this?" she queried with great delight, shuffling a few steps away in case he tried to snatch from her. Glancing down, caused a brow to raise in surprise followed by a knowing smirk. "Got yourself a boyfriend do you, Jaks?" She laughed as she hid the book behind her back and began to move backwards from him towards the rest of the camp. "You know you could be a bit nicer Jaksie boy. I just came o'er here to invite you to a bit of fun and ya go an' yell at me."

Another frown and he glared. The look was dark and he flushed deeply at the mention of boyfriend. No. It was nothing like that. A sick obsession beaten into him and one he despised but... She wouldn't understand. Didn't deserve to know and he held out his hand. "That's none of your business, Starbright. I'm here to find old things and study them. Not to be your friend. Not to be their friends," he jerked his head to the rest of the camp and Jaks held out his hand.

"I apologize for yelling at you but I request you return my book to me," A wiggle of his fingers and he took a step closer, ready to give chase if the little rat of a woman took off with his stuff. Jaks was rather possession of his things. Especially his deep-dark-secret things.

GoblinFae

"You know you really are su-hhh-ch a pain in the arse," she informed him as she continued to inch her way back out of his little camp area. There was mischief in her eyes and a spring of anticipation in her every step. "It wouldn't kill you to make nice and it's no wonder the boys think youse got a-a," she blinked tipsily as she tried to think of a proper word. It did not matter though as her stalling had moved her just outside of the circle of his lantern. "Something!" Starbright shouted before shooting off into the dark, his notebook clasped tightly in front of her as she bolted off with it. If Jaks was insistent on hiding it then it certainly had to be enough to drag him out of his usual sulk and glare mood to have a little fun with the rest of their small community.

That rotten little...!

Jaks got up off of his knees quickly, giving a surprisingly feral snarl as that rotten little - girl - took off. How dare she? How dare she take his things and just... Run away! He wasn't that interesting! What benefited her to getting him to socialize! Nothing! After making sure his hair was in a ponytail and his boots were on tight he took off after her, angry. Fuming.

Ashamed.

Hurt.

The picture would cause questions.

Questions he'd really rather not answer. Questions that would dredge up memories of things he wished he could forget. Jaks caught up to the tipsy girl easily, his lean up curling around her waist, hand pressed tight to her rib cage and he lifted her up and held her against his side, the other hand moving around to hold his hand out.

"Give me back my book, Please. I'm only going to ask once."

GoblinFae

"Quits bein' such a sourpuss-puss, Jaksie! No one likes sour and you're the tartest of them all," Starbright giggled at a joke only should could coherently seem to understand. She skipped and stumbled her way through the dig site, knocking about into tools and dirt piles a plenty in her attempts to evade the pursuing elf.

"I jus' wan's a looksies," she slurred, hiccupping at the very end to punctuate the end of her sentence with widening eyes and floundering feet. "You never shares. Always so stick in the mud. So means to me," Starbright paused and sniffled, pouting quite sullenly to the man. "You hate me!"

"I hate everyone equally," Jaks grumbled, displeased with his inability to get back his sketchbook. He stopped, frowning down at his feet and crossed his arms over his chest. "Fine. Fine,  look through the sketchbook. I doubt anything in there will interest you."

Probably would, the nosy little mouse. There was an unhealthy amount of drawings of a specific man along with some sort of man beast inbetween sketches of wildlife and labled plants. Maybe the odd pressed leaf,  too.

Jaks frowned at Starbright and kicked at one of the pieces they were digging up.  There was a sort of crack, but it was late and dark and it could have been the campfire in the distance, right?

"Did you hear that?" Jaks asked with his hands out, ready to snatch the book away when she decided to move her head around and look. Hopefully.

GoblinFae

Starbright cracked the book open to have a peek at the drawings. Unfortunately for her the shadows of the night made it nigh impossible to decipher much out of the shapes, although her own tipsiness might have been to blame for that.

"Ish that a bear?" she slurred, pulling the page closer to her eyes and turning it first this way then that as if to try and understand what she was seeing. "Huh? Sound? What sound? I dinna 'ear nutin'. You sure dem ears workin' rights Jacksie boy?"

"It's not a bear!" Jaks snapped at her, hands going to her wrists. Eugh. He hated how delicate he looked when he was next to other people. He should have gruff, rough hands from digging in the dirt and playing in the sand. Not... Delicate elf-y hands.

"Just... yes," he grumbled, "my ears are huge and they work fine," another sigh and he let go of her hands. Fine. Fine! "Fine!" His hands went up and he crossed his arms over his chest, "you want to look through it go right ahead!" A glare and he turned away. Should Starbright choose to flip through it, she would find an alarming number of sketches of the same man in various states of dress - or undress - and that same angry bear.

And a lot of delicate flowers.

GoblinFae

"No?" she asked back before belching loud enough to send her wobbling a step backwards. A definite crunch sounded underfoot and had Starbright not been so drunk she might have wondered how the earth could have trembled so rather than chalking it up to being a bit too intoxicated. She paid no mind to Jaks excitable tantrum as she was used to plenty of them while stone sober. This one was hardly any different.

"Youse sure ish not a bear 'cause it really really looks like a b-" the young woman was cut off as the ground beneath her finally gave way. She had but a moment to scream as she flailed out to grab anything or anyone before she was crashing down towards a deep, dark bottom.

"Starb--!" Jaks gasped, watching her. His hand shot out, her hand grabbed his sleeve and he gasped sharply when the surprising dead weight of her coupled with the lack of anything steady sent him tumbling down too. It was a blur - or a nothing considering how dark it was - and he gave a sharp pained gasp when he finally realized he'd stopped falling.

A look up, the light from the fire streaming through just slightly.

"Starbright?" He gasped, hands moving around for her, there was his sketchbook at least. He quickly tucked that into one of the many pockets inside his vest before... A leg. He moved to rest on his left hand before a sharp pain shot up his arm, with a cry and a gasp Jaks sat up on his knees and held his wrist. That didn't hurt. To his palm... Ah. Giant chunk of rock sticking out of his palm.

With a grunt he removed that before plastering his hand on Starbrights - he hoped - thigh. "hey. You okay? Look what you did! You drank and the gods hated us enough to let us fall down into..." He paused, looking around, frowning because it was so dark, "A gold mine." It was probably a tomb of some kind. Maybe not opened for ages. Centuries. "Starbright you're brilliant," And he gave whatever limb was in his hand a squeeze.

GoblinFae

Starbright groaned from where she lay in the rubble. Her head felt foggy, her back was throbbing, and she was pretty sure something was seriously wrong with her right leg. "Aww Jaksie I knew ya liked me," she quipped at his gruff tone while trying to sit up. Her leg surged in a wave of pain that made her shout and lay back again. She had not noticed yet what Jaks was going on about but she certainly did feel the hand gripping very high on her thigh.

"Whoa there cowboy!" she declared, latching onto his hand and moving it away. "Ya buy me dinner and a drink before ya start gettin' handsy with my person."

This was amazing!

He didn't care about the sketchbook anymore - a lie he cared very much about the sketchbook - still all this stuff was amazing. Jaks felt his heart pick up and he didn't care about the giant gash in his palm, didn't care that his ass hurt and his head hurt or that his hair was a mess. Jaks just stared and grinned wide and looked to Starbright again.

"Would you look!" He said, voice rising, pleasure clear on his face because this was amazing! So much history! So many amazing things! Right here! Jaks slowly stood up, knees wobbly from the fall, blood dripping from his hand. A good reminder that this wasn't a dream. They really had fallen into a gold mine.

Jaks winced and looked up, "Did that fall knock you sober?" He nudged Starbright with his foot, "Because we're still at the bottom of a hole and if I stand on your shoulders and we find someway of climbing we could get out. Maybe."

GoblinFae

"Imma lookin, Imma lookin!" she barked back with a scowl, punching lightly out at his ankle for kicking at her with it. Starbright blinked slowly, her head swimming from the potent combination of the fall and the alcohol. Eventually her eyes adjusted though and the multiple images merged into one.

"Jaksie we did it!" The young woman squealed in excitement as she took in the sight of all the beautiful and long forgotten relics they had quite literally stumbled upon. She clapped her hands in excitement and attempted to struggle to her feet, already forgetting her pain before it came searing back as it ripped up her leg from just below the knee all the way to her hip. A howl broke her cheers as she collapsed back against the rocks, tears springing to her eyes at the pain.

Sweat broke out on her brow as she fought to catch her breath again. "Youse not standing on nothin', Jaksie. I think you broke me in the fall. Can't ya just call for help? Mmm so tired. Wake me when they get 'ere ya?"

The punch had him hiss softly, but Jaks turned onto his side to slowly rise himself up onto his feet, injured hand cradled against his chest.  He just stared at Starbright while she moved, called him Jaksie.

Jaksie.

Jaks wrinkled his nose at Starbright while she had her moment of excitement and he felt his own heart thumping with excitement. Except it was very short lived.

"starbright?" Jaks ran over, his hands on her shoulders after she started to collapse against the rocks.  He blew out a careful steady breath before he gathered her in his arms and propped her against his chest. Hands smoothing down her sides while looking up at the sky. "Starbright! Wake up!" He shook her again, heart pounding with fear.

"Help!" He screamed, head tilted up. They were far from camp though. He'd been vegetating and she'd come by drunk and ruined everything and gods damnit.

"Help me!" He screamed again, looking up at the hole. There was no one though. With Starbright pulled into his arms, Jaks leaned against the wall and while he screamed for help, he wasn't louder than the roaring fire the others were around and eventually, he simply fell asleep.

It was a slow, throbbing ache that first roused Starbright. She moaned softly, trying to bury her face against the warm soft bed against her cheek. The more she nuzzled and burrowed in though the more her head pounded and her leg began to make its complaints known as well, forcing her wide awake. A heavy sigh escaped her as she clung on tighter to her bed and...was it breathing?

Her eyes shot open expecting to find an unexpected bed partner from her night of drinking only to see of all people, JAKS! Starbright choked on her own saliva as she gasped in surprised and tried to painfully jerk away. Her sudden movements caused her to yelp and more flop than jerk away.

"Oy, Jaksie!" she barked at him, squinting and blinking as if to get a better grip on reality. "How'd you get in my bed? You don't like to have fun!"

The woman groaned again, rubbing at her eyes and cracking her neck to the side. It was then that the hint of early dawn light illuminated the treasure trove they had discovered hours earlier. She gasped anew, slapping him on the knee to get his attention.

"Look at it!!! Look, look, look!!! You're not looking!"

Draconian

Jaks grumbled.

Who had rubbed sand in his eyes and made it so hard to want to wake up? The terrible noise had his sandpaper lids snap open and he grumbled and his attention instantly focused on Starshine or whatever her name was. Starsomething. Star... Whatever.

He tried to roll over but the slapping at his leg started and all Jaks could do was finally growl to the best of his ability, sit up with a snarl and...

"oh," Jaks blinked widely and then his head snapped up, remembering the night before because he, apparently, didn't like to have fun.

It wasn't inaccurate, which was probably why the statement stung so badly. Jaks smoothed a hand over his chest, giving a mental check over of his own well being before he let himself be excited about the artefacts.

"We must have fallen through the roof while you were stupid drunk," He snapped, moving his hand to sit up before a sharp pain reminded him that he'd gotten a decent sized gash on his palm.

"Well, it's great and all but we can be excited after we figure a way out." Jaks sighed and looked around the room but frowning, "Can you stand? We can try to climb out. Or I can try to climb out and we can just get our meat-head workers to lift you out." He wanted to explore, he really did...

But who knew what beasts were lurking in the darkness.

"Oh yes 'cause the fall was all my fault and ya nothin' to do with it," she snapped back at him. For the life of her though, Starbright couldn't remember at all whose fault it was or what exactly had transpired the night before to result in their literal goldmine find. Even as she sat up more fully to be less on Jaks, her eyes were solely focused on the small glimmers of glitter she could catch in the dim morning light. Her hands were just itching to touch and examine every imagined find within the unknown cavern.

Starbright unconsciously attempted to bounced her legs in all her excitement but the telltale sting of injury quickly ceased on movement on her part as her breath locked within her chest. She hissed angrily through her teeth while glancing up at the ceiling where they had fallen through.

"I don't think I'll be doing much of climbing anytime soon, Jaksie. If my leg ain't broke then it's bruised something awful. And good luck gettin' anyone to hear us, yeah. You think I was drunk!" She snorted loudly, the sound coming out in an uncanny imitation of a prized pig.

"They're all probably asleep on their asses. Ain't a one among them who can hold his drink and they were singing like loonies when we left for bed. If we went deeper though," her eyes practically gleamed as she looked to Jaks hopefully, "maybe there's an exit on the other side! It's worth a try! 'Less o' course you just wanna spend your day lollygagging about here when there's treasures a plenty that need cataloguing and recovering. We can't even begin that until we gets ourselves outta here, yeah?"
