Snippet #1361419

The Sprites were all too happy to get out from the bar. The bartender was a very good actor- too good, in fact. The Sprites knew this for a fact, and none of them really did feel like being peeled from the side of a shard of a broken wine bottle. In any event, they were flying into the forest (making sure to fly low so that less people noticed the brightly glowing creatures in an environment full of shadows) as fast as they could, but then they all realised how needlessly tiring that was since they weren't getting chased, and then they just flew into the forest quickly.

"Okay," Ibhi began gesturing to the eleven other sprites once they touched down on a patch of dirt hit by sunlight, "We've delivered the letter. Assuming no one saw us- and I doubt they did-"

"I doubt they saw brightly glowing airborne Sprites fluttering around a dimly lit bar, too," interrupted Snarki, the lean(er) and middle-sized Sprite of the bunch with short hair a few shades darker than Ibhi's.

"Quiet you," Ibhi 'snapped' back to the female. "Anyway, the mission was a success. Hopefully. Well, if he doesn't send the verification signal in an hour, then something's definitely up."

"We have a verification signal?" A rotund (well, rotund by Sprite standards, anyway. A little chubby by human standards) sprite inquired as he ran his hand through his hair.

"... yes, he pours three, four or five different wines down four or five different holes in the forest. He's done this for ages, Memori, how- how do you not know this?" Ibhi answered, perplexed.

"That was from the barkeep?" Wori joined in. "I always thought the drunkards were above Silantat when that happened"

"That happens too, but he knows how the order goes," Snarki responded.

"Enough!" Ibhi finished his gesture with a clap, which is a big emphasis on what he was trying to say. "Anyway, let's just go back."

"What was on that letter, by the way?" Snarki asked.

"Just instructions telling him to send out some of the members to ambush the Dodecopus patrol coming in three hours on the highway for more intel."

"I thought they were called Dodepus?" Wori said.

"... Just get in the damn bush, already. I'll tell you more about the mission." And at that, the twelve Sprites flew into the bush, retreating back to Silantat.
