Hey...has anyone happen to get their stuff stolen by a large purple lizard thing?

I'll go do it. What kinda stuff did he take?

[chosengigolo.livejournal.com]

No, really it's fine, Katara. I'm probably just being dramatic about the whole thing. I can do it.

[waterbends]

Well, if you need backup, don't hesitate to call, okay? I really wasn't trying to be rude..

[chosengigolo.livejournal.com]

Of course I will, Ice Princess! Though how hard could stealing one thing back from a dragon be?

[waterbends]

You sounded pretty worried about it....

[chosengigolo.livejournal.com]

Well, he did take something that if he figures out how to use it, his strength, speed and powers could possibly double in strength. [or worse since he didn't take the keycrest...]

But what's the chances of that happening, right?

[waterbends]

-- what did he take from you?!

[chosengigolo.livejournal.com]

You ever notice that red crystal on my chest?

That thing's called a Cruxis Crystal. It's a pretty powerful little item.

[waterbends]

Yeah, but I assumed it was just some sort of decoration.. it makes you stronger?

[chosengigolo.livejournal.com]

Among other things, yeah.

Right now I'm hoping on the fact he thinks it's just a shiny rock I like to wear, but if he tries to use it, it could cause all sorts of problems for everyone.

[waterbends]

We need to go get it from him. Before he does damage to people - or even just himself.

[A pause.]

Just - stay where you are, okay? I can go find it.

[chosengigolo.livejournal.com]

As much as I appreciate the help, Ice Princess, I'm hardly going to sit back and let you go it alone. It is my crystal after all, I know how to deal with it.

[waterbends]

But you're weaker without it, aren't you?

[chosengigolo.livejournal.com]

Weaker but not incapable!

[waterbends]

I never called you that! But there's no reason to put yourself in danger.

[chosengigolo.livejournal.com]

So you want me to put a beautiful girl in danger for me while I sit back and watch?

[waterbends]

Zelos, back at home my friends and I were chased around by one of the most powerful benders I've ever met who was dead set on either capturing or killing us. I think I can handle a lizard with sticky fingers.

[chosengigolo.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but can my confidence take it is the question...

[waterbends]

You can just hide your eyes and pretend it's not happening. Or I could find a spidermouse for you to save me from.

H-heh, very funny, Ice Princess.
