Snickering, Thomas kept his shorts on and gathered up his clothes, sitting back to watch the rest of the game and making fun, teasing comments to the others, trying to see who would crack. After deeming it safe, Eclipse lowered his hand and let Belle watch again.

Sess nudged Andy's shoulder, letting her know it was safe again, and she turned back around to watch the rest of the game. Now that Thomas was out of the game, she was fairly sure the next to go would be Lucivar. She was proven right when the round ended and he put his cards down and moved away from the game to get dressed again.

Al smirked over at Lucifer and the two kept trying to bluff each other into giving up. Finally, Al lost, and Lucifer laughed triumphantly. Al scowled at him and simply materialized his clothes back on his body with a thought and a slight application of magic. Then he proceeded to flip off Lucifer and go sulk for a bit.

"Well..." Andy said. "That was... interesting." Leaning back, she snuggled a bit more against Sess.

"That's certainly one way to put it," Belle said with a little grin. "I think next time we need to have more of them in on the game."

"If you're thinking what I'm thinking, then that would be a really interesting game," Andy agreed.

Belle grinned and nodded. "Oh yes. Most definitely. But for now, dinner time." She got up and started thinking of things they could eat.

"Alright," Andy said. "Let me know if you want me to help with anything."

Belle shook her head. "Naaa, we should be fine. Come on, Eclipse, Ash. Let's go find something remotely edible." She grinned as she sauntered off into the forest, for once not tripping over anything.

"Alright," Andy said. She didn't move from Sess' lap, perfectly content to stay with him. She glanced around the camp once or twice, mostly out of habit to make sure everything was running alright.

There was silence for several minutes before two loud, startled yells, a loud "Son of a--", and then silence. Then laughter, coming from Ash.

Andy clearly heard it, and she exchanged a glance with Sess.

"That... sounded interesting," she commented.

"Indeed," Sess replied.

Belle, Eclipse, Ash, and a nwecomer came back several minutes later.

"Hope everyone likes venison," Ash said, putting down a deer corpse before he started to quickly clean and skin it.

"I told you, it wasn't my fault!" Belle said, glaring at the bishi opposite her. "I didn't mean to! If you hadn't snuck up on me..."

"I was not sneaking up on you," the James Norrington opposite her said, glaring at her. "I was investigating to see what was causing such noise. We thought it was an animal."

"Just because we can't all glide through the trees or manage to stay quiet doesn't mean that any loud noise you hear is an animal! Besides, you should have been able to see Ash or Eclipse!"

"I did not realize they were with a trainer, as I didn't recognize them."

"Well you still should have thought before you tried to grab me."

"I did not try to grab you, woman. I was trying for one of them."

"Well obviously you missed!" Belle glared.

Norrington was silent for several moments. "You are the single most infuriating woman I have ever had the misfortune to deal with."

Belle spluttered with indignation, her eyes narrowed to furious slits.

Andy watched, slightly amused at the exchange.

"I think things are about to get interesting around here," she commented.

Eclipse hummed his agreement, watching the two arguing. "I do not think I have ever seen two people squabble so much, besides Lucifer and Thomas." He shook his head a little.

Belle and Norrington both paused to look over at Andy and Eclipse before they shrugged and went back to quibbling.

"He'll adjust, I'm sure," Andy said. "Well, hopefully."

Eclipse chuckled softly. "We all do, with time," he said softly before he turned to help Ash cut off strips of meat for them to cook.

"Somehow, I'm both surprised and not surprised that she managed to trip over someone from Pirates out here," Andy commented, listening to the two bickering. Finally she got up and went over to them. "Guys, really."

"Hmm? Oh, right." Belle grinned. "This is my friend Andy, and she's also a trainer. That guy leaning against the tree over there is Seth, another friend. The various bishis you'll meet eventually, so I'm not going to point them all out right now."

"Okay." Norrington shrugged. "Looks like your two are starting to cook without you."

"Meh." Belle shrugged. "Eclipse can cook better than I can, and Ash knows better than blowing something up. Intentionally, anyway."

"Okay."

"I'm not much of a cook, so I'm perfectly happy to let them do it," Andy said. She blinked as something occurred to her. "Ah, before I forget. I have a pair of dragons and a giant cat in my group. You've been warned."

"Ah. Alright." Norrington looked wary.

Belle laughed a little. "Welcome to the group." She patted his shoulder and went to go help Eclipse and Ash cook, while Norrington merely shook his head.

"You get used to it," Andy assured him. "The big cat is Kaelas, you really can't mistake him. The two dragons are Temeraire and Lien, they're probably smarter than I am, and you really can't miss them, either." She gestured to the two dragons who were resting contentedly a ways away.

Norrington nodded. "I had heard of oddities in the rest of the world, but..." He shrugged. "This gives even Jack Sparrow a run for his money."

"If he had any," Andy couldn't help but joke. She shrugged. "I've seen weirder than dragons and giant cats. At least Kaelas and the two dragons all speak English, though Temmy and Li Li both speak Chinese as well, and I think Temmy speaks French."

Norrington raised his eyebrows. "Hmm. Interesting," he said after a few moments of silence. "It would seem that the three of you have quite a few... oddities."
