"That would be great to see." Belle grinned. "I remember I once saw a Duo with bright neon green hair walking with a Heero with electric blue hair."

Andy blinked.

"That's just wrong," she said. "Did they lose a bet?" She glanced around when she thought she saw movement in the trees, but otherwise didn't do anything.

"Nope. They liked their hair that way." Belle shrugged. "I thought it was kinda hilarious."

"That's just so wrong," Andy said, grinning.

"Thus what made it hilarious," Belle said with a big grin. She paused as she saw something in the trees.

Andy saw it as well, and glanced over.

"I'm kind of curious to see what that was," she said, "but I'm not sure if I'd be able to not fangirl."

"I wouldn't be only because I haven't read these books yet." Belle sighed. "I'll get to them eventually."

"You will," Andy replied. "I won't let you not read them."

"Yeah, I figured as much. Maybe I'll read Sebastian once I finish the first Black Jewels book."

"You won't want to interrupt Black Jewels like that," Andy said. "Not for such a radically different set of rules. Besides, you'll want to find out what happens to Daemon."

"That sounds promising," Belle said with a chuckle. "It'll take me a while to finish those three books, though."

"It's worth it," Andy assured her. "It's totally worth it." She grinned. "You'll want a Ladvarian, I'm sure."

Belle chuckled. "Well, we'll see how quickly I manage to get through the books."

"It shouldn't take too long," Andy said. "They're pretty quick reads, once you get into them."

"Yup. Only trouble is finding the time to read them." Belle sighed dramatically. "I'll get through everything I need to read eventually. I have a growing pile."

"You'll get to them eventually," Andy said.

"Yup. I'll make Lucifer carry me one day and I'll just spend the whole day reading." Belle grinned.

Andy rolled her eyes.

"You're terrible," she said.

"I know I am. It's so much fun." Belle grinned.

Andy rolled her eyes again, and then glanced to the side when she saw another flash in the trees.

"Okay, they know we're here," she commented. "I think we're being kept an eye on."

"I wouldn't be surprised. I mean, how many trainers come here without any sort of guide? Probably kinda stupid." Belle shrugged.

"We kind of stumbled in, though," Andy pointed out. "We got here more by accident than anything." She paused, then snickered. "Kind of like in the books, people end up in specific landscapes by accident, but never by mistake."

Belle snorted. "Wow. Genius." She shook her head, amused. "So what now? Try to find our way out on our own, wander around for a bit, what?"

"Well, we can try to get back out," Andy replied. "Can't hurt, and we only need to get over one territory anyways."

"And we can come back once I've read these books. Or at least one of them." Belle shook her head. "Any idea how to get out?"
