Mala's eyes widened. "What? Really?? It's not wizards, is it?" Mala asked, never having heard of such a thing. It was truly a marvel to think about!

"Nope! They've got this big ol' machine that makes the boat go. I don't know how it works, but they had a bunch of dwarves and scientists and alchemists always working on it to keep it going. All I know is it involves a giant pinwheel type thing attached to the back of the boat as it sits in the water." Riley explained.
"Now see? It's things like this that make me feel old. It makes me wind up saying things like 'back in my day' and the like." Van said.

Mala gave Van a blank stare as she said, "For the millionth time, you're as old as your heart is! You shouldn't think of it as a 'back in my day' thing, but instead a 'haha I got to outlive you bastards and see it happen' thing!"

((Okay that kinda made me lol. XD ))
"Mala, I still remember when people were stuck cooking food over an open flame and houses were still being made entirely of wood and straw. I'm old." Van said rather flatly.

{Then I did my job correctly. XD}
Mala burst up and went over to her old mirror. Carefully picking it up, she brought it over to Van and held it in front of him. "Does this look like a wrinkely, saggy-breasted, and bald man who couldn't last a minute with me in bed?" she asked, an eyebrow raised.

"I've got the silvery white hair. I'm certainly on my way there." Van said holding up a piece of his hair.
((You should get a promotion then because that made me lol more. XD ))

{I feel honored to hear that. biggrin }
"That doesn't mean a thing!" Mala exclaimed. She sighed, seeming slightly irritated as she then asked, "Okay, let me rephrase that. Does this look like a blue ogre's a**? Or does this look like my sexy husband?"

((And she's three for three! Ladies and gentlemen, she is on a roll!! Will the humor never end?! =D))
"I'm sure that is entirely dependant on your point of view." Riley joked.
"I'm just messing with you. I know I'm not shriveling up like a prune any time soon. Or ever, really." Van said with a grin.

{ biggrin It probably ends in this post. crying }
Mala offered Van a quick kiss on the forhead before putting the mirror back where it was. "Good! I just don't like you calling yourself old when you aren't that old." she said, now coming back to sit herself beside Van. "It's just that everyone else is extremely young. Like, they live like flies compared to how you get to!"

"Exactly!" Mala said, grinning broadly as she snuggled herself close to Van once more.
Finally, having sold everything, Ariae was heading back towards where she lived in the ruins. She was abrubtly haulted by a hooded woman, who held a violent look about her.
"So I take it you're the b***h that hurt my daughter?" Marianne asked, sounding quite peeved.
Ariae stared for a moment, raising an eyebrow in interest as she crossed her arms and shifted her weight onto her other leg. "And I take it your the reason that my slave has an extremely short lifespan?" she retorted.

"And now, dear, you know it's not nice to talk about the mortals like they were insects." Van said in a fake scolding fashion.

Mala pouted and asked in a teasing manner, "Oh, no, I did something naughty! What are you going to do, punish me?"
Not liking what she heard, Marianne took a step forward. "This ends here, with your bloody corpse deccorating this old, dusty road!" she exclaimed.
{I suck a** at fight scenes, so let's skip this.}
Marianne was beaten easilly by Ariae, whom didn't even get a scratch from this little brawl. She stood over the woman, keeping one foot tight on the back of her neck - threatening to snap it at any moment should she move. "Whose corpse is going to litter this road now?"

((We're in the same boat, remember? XD ))
"Just like before, this is where I cover my ears to avoid any mental images that will scar me for eternity." Riley said promptly covering his ears.

Mala chuckled at Riley's reaction before she looked back up at Van, grinning. "Well, that worked like a charm~"
{Aaaand I don't know what to do with them now.}
