Ch. 6 - Scales and wings are such a drag for Jack of Fables
[Jack is getting restless now. It's been nearly a month since he was turned into this big hulking beast and frankly? It's getting pretty damn old. Each day he has to roll in his gold a little longer to make himself feel better and he's less and less inclined to leave his gold behind. That damn pirate is going to try and find it, he just knows it. Still, hunger is hunger and he's getting sick of deer, bears, cows, and sheep. The farm animals are the easiest to get, but he's noticed he's been... thinning the herd a bit. He can't live off them forever. As for hunting? It's a pain in the ass.
Well, if he's going to be stuck like this, like hell he's going to just hide. So retreating from his cave, he'll be flying towards town. He'll stop just behind the grocery store and land there. Seeing as he's too big to get in... he'll just bust a hole in the roof and start grabbing stuff that way. Good thing these buildings auto-repair and the food restocks itself, because he won't be leaving much of a store behind by the time he's done.]
((ooc: Feel free to catch him at the store or prowling around the mountains. But not so much his secret treasure horde... not yet!))

...see this is why paids are worth it! EDITING OUT HTML FAIL.
[But she backs a step off, taking a veeery deep breath. Trying for calm and completely failing because this is her mother's materia. The Cetra's secret. The Planet's protection. What she died for. The idea that someone had stolen it had been upsetting before. Now presented with a potential culprit? Hello, anger.
...But maybe he's telling the truth. Maybe he doesn't have it. There's still a lot of tension in her hands.]
Just, yes or no, Jack. Do you know where Holy is?
Alas, I am stuck with basic until Jack is re-humaned.
It costs him nothing to give it up to her. Again, he normally wouldn't care and just give it back. But there's something inside him that's suddenly viewing her with suspicion, like she's a thief just trying to get to his treasure horde, and that if he had any sense right now he'd just snuff her out in a burst of flames.]
No. Now leave me alone. I never asked for company, I just want to eat my damn food. [He gives her a warning glare that's very animal and betrays the human mind underneath. The dragon and the greed is starting to take control of him.]

[With that, she turns down the aisle, walking briskly to get out of the store. Her hands are held up to her chest, ears alert for any move Jack might make. She's definitely alarmed now and just wants to leave now, but... she's so angry, she almost wants to cry. That jerk. He was lying, there was no need to act that way!]

... he decides he's had enough and withdraws from the store, heading towards the mountains.]
