"Doko was a nice little village." Prism glanced at the group. He knew they stayed up planning. If he could figure out what they wanted to do he felt like he could iron out all the kinks.
      "Yes, but I want to see Trask." Emeryl answered, "Aren't lots of magic shops in Trask?"
      "Magic shops? I want to see a magic shop!" Leiko answered excitedly.
      "You did. You visited mine after seeing the Church." Prism reminded her.
      "But I wanna see another magic shop!" Leiko retorted.
      "We can stop by one. Maybe I'll even study a bit while we're there. They have a nice library too, I've heard." Prism pulled out his book.
      "I don't want to go to some library..." Eric sighed.
      "Of course not! You don't know how to read!" Blake snapped at him.
      "Go feed your cat." Eric mumbled.
      "I would, but she needs a bath first." He sneered.
      Bentora's eyes snapped his way, "You're talking about me, aren't you?"
      "And if I am?" Blake queried daringly.
      "All of you! Close your mouths now!" Prism yelled at them.
      "Make him first!" Eric pointed accusingly at Blake.
      "Eric, don't whine, Blake, don't be confrontational, and Bentora don't encourage him! This is why I always take charge, because you guys can't handle it! Now be calm." Prism barked.
      "I... I'm sorry, Prism." Emeryl apologized to the suddenly taciturn half elf.
      "Don't be, you didn't do anything." He replied grimly.
      "Are you all right Prism?" he asked.
      "I'm fine. Just stop fighting." Prism held his tongue.
      "No problem." Eric replied.
      "Prism, let me see that map again." Blake brushed them all off.
      "What for?" he glanced down at the map to find their approximate location.
      "Since when do I have to check in with you? Let me see it." Blake tore the map out of Prism's hands.
      "Blake, that's rude." Emeryl scolded him lightly.
      "Don't bother. I'm fine." Prism folded his arms.
      Melancholy, Emeryl watched Prism fold his arms and lower his head as he led the group to Trask.
