Snippet #2552353

Breena froze when she heard a voice calling, "Hello? Anything there?"

She didn't move, let alone reply back. When the call didn't come again, Breena peeked through the tall grasses until she saw who had called out. It was a dwarf standing a little in from the other side of the glen, though for Breena that was still pretty far away. She smiled as she crouched down. One thing she always loved doing was pranking unsuspecting travelers that she comes across. All she needed to do here was rig about five blades of grass to act as a catapult. With her experience in pranking and thus fiddling with inventions, it hadn't taken long for her to create the make-shift catapults. Breena then went around and filled each catapult basket with mud.

She peeked through the grasses again at the dwarf to see if he was still there and still in the right spot. Her eyes twinkled when she spotted that he hadn't moved so much as an inch. She then ran to each catapult and released it, only at the end did she stop and watch as the mud flew through the air. Some of them did miss, but others did actually hit their target. Breena fell down laughing, trying to keep as quiet as she could so she could stay out of sight from the dwarf.

There was a small rustle from behind Breena and she stopped laughing immediately. It was just a small rustle, far too small for it to be the dwarf, but she still didn't know what it was. That is until Ninar came through.

The imp smiled at her friend. "Ninar," she said, "What are you doing here? I thought you would be courting the women by now."

Ninar made a couple of singing noises, though Breena couldn't translate what he said word for word, they were close enough friends that she understood him none-the-less. She peeked back through the grass one more time, it would seem that her laughter hadn't been quiet enough, so she with a bit of defeat in her heart and a glance back to Ninar, Breena climbed onto a nearby rock, one in which its top was above the grass. There she stood out in the open for the dwarf to see because she knew, with her laughter having been too loud and having gotten noticed, there was no use in hiding.

"Well, well, well, looks like you caught be after all," Breena said, a tone of defiance dominating her voice.
