Ceilibell grinned. "I guess that was good luck for me. I certainly wouldn't have found it if you hadn't been here." She noticed Natalia had finished her sandwich. "Do you want more?" She'd packed enough food for a week, not expecting to find the flute as soon as she got here.

"Yes please," she nodded shyly, her small stomach growling angrily for more.

Ceilibell grinned and set about making another and handed it to Natalia. "Eat as much as you want. I have plenty." She grabbed an apple herself and bit into it.

The orphan chowed down, savoring the flavor of te sandwhich. It was probably such a normal and even bland food to the bard, but to Natalia it was something new and delicious entirely and it made her shark tail slap happily against the ground as he shriveled, weak stomach was filled.

Jane stumbled through the large doorway of the ruined castle. She looked across a hallway and noticed a small hole in the wall where two bricks were parted, nothing lay inside. "Blasted!" She equipped her how and strung an arrow. She walked down the hallway where the parted bricks were. She wandered about coming to nothing. She heard chatter nearby. "I got you know blasted thieves." She bounded toward the sound, bow firmly in-hand. She strung back the arrow as the voices got louder. She poked her head out of a corner and noticed the item she was searching for resting loosely on this human fox creature's belt. Her eyes tore away from the flute then widened in a mixture of terror and curiosity. A shark fox anthro lay before her. Jane smiled. She didn't quite know if she could fight two people on her own, but her hunting skills would come in handy same with her instincts. She whipped the corner revealing her whole body. She wore a green tunic with a dark brown leather belt and a leather studded battle skirt. On her back rested her quiver and an extra short bow. Four knives were stuck in pockets in the front of her tunic. Two short swords rested at her thighs. Two small sacks with food water and clothing rested along her back and one tied around her abdomen. "The flute." Was all she managed to say. She was sent on a mission which told to be hard. Now all she had to do was fight a neko and anthro. Splendid.

The teen's ears twitched as Jane snuck around nearby, her super sensitive hearing picking up the slightest foot step, and she would have taken conscious note of it if she weren't do absorbed in her sandwhich.
She definitely noticed Jane when she came out of hiding and immediately dropped her precious food when she saw the bow pointed at her. She had some experiences with bows that left her whole body sore at the memory.
The anthro immediately backed away and curled into a tight ball with her hands covering her head.

Ceilibell jumped when the girl came out from the corner. Her hands up, she put herself between the bow and Natalia. No need for her to get shot when Ceilibell was the one with the flute. Her heart was in her throat and her mind raced. She slowly moved her hand to her belt and unclipped the flute. "You want this?" It was doubtful she would be able to do anything without getting shot, but her rebellious nature urged her to try. She whipped the flute up to her mouth in a quick fluid motion, covering her heart with her arm in the process. She intended to play a string of lulling notes. I really hope she doesn't have earplugs... If the girl did, the music would have no effect on her. If not, then she would quickly find herself falling asleep.
