"Either one is fine with me," Andy replied. "I am perfectly content with my group as it stands right now."

"Aw, you know throwing a Sebastian in for a little bit of spice would be fun," Belle teased with a grin.

"Yeah, no," Andy replied. "Not with my group."

"Teaser would be even worse." Belle paused. "I get the feeling Daemon's either going to love them or want to kill them."

"Thomas would like Teaser, though, if for no other reason than for someone to joke around with," Andy said. "And Teaser is so easy to freak out."

"Yes, he is," Belle agreed with a little snicker. "That's half the fun of it, though."

"You're terrible," Andy said. She rolled her eyes. "You can have the Sebastian and Teaser, I'm not getting them."

Belle laughed quietly, shaking her head. "Yeah, I figured you'd say that." She rolled her shoulders as she walked, glancing around. She could vaguely see Dejaal up ahead.

"Like I said, I'm good with the group I have. I doubt I could handle any more at the moment," Andy said.

"Well, we'll have to wait and see if you find anyone you like in the Dark-Hunter series." Belle just grinned as Ash rolled his eyes.

"We'll see," Andy said. She wasn't so sure, but she could always be wrong.

"Hey, you never know," Belle pointed out. "And if you have any questions, bug those two." She pointed to the two gods lounging in the corner.

"I might," Andy replied. "I'll try to puzzle things out on my own, first. More fun that way."

"Oh, definitely. But you did kinda skip maybe half a dozen books?" Belle shrugged.

"More than that, I think," Andy replied. "I'll get around to them."

"They do get repetitive, mostly," Belle admitted. "There are a couple that stad out, though."

"I'm fairly sure I stopped at six," Andy said. "Something like that. And I started in the middle to begin with, which probably wasn't all that smart."

"Yeah, not smart," Belle agreed. "Oh well. I can tell you basically everything you need to know. If you don't feel like reading all the books."

"I'll see what I can figure out on my own, and let you know," Andy said.

"Sounds fair." Belle looked over at Ash and D'Alerian, noting that they were both observing the three newest Warlord Princes. She rolled her eyes.

"Anyways, should we head back in the direction of Ephemera?" Andy asked.

"Might as well. We're headed vaguely that direction anyway." Belle shrugged.

"Sounds good to me," Andy replied.

Belle nodded and kept walking. Dejaal loped off again after checking in on them.

Andy walked with her. It was a nice day, may as well enjoy it.
