"Hey, you're the one who decided you were going to come in here and stay until you die or I give you money or something… don't blame me." Kono scoffed a bit.

(Heck sorry I had to do chores for a bit)
Gemini rolled her eyes. "We've been over this. I need the money, or I'm going to die anyway. So I might as well die next to a pile of gold."

(No problem)
"Again, I didn't force you to be here. You're still welcome to leave if you so choose, albeit empty handed."

"As I've already said, I'm not going to. This has been established - were you not paying attention? Do I need to tell you my tragic backstory again?" She asked with a smirk.

"You know, it's funny that you think I care enough about what you say to pay attention." Kono rolled his eyes, smirking a bit as well.

"Oh, my gods. You are legitimately the rudest person on the planet. Christ, chill out," she said, standing up to leave.

"Sorry. 'Chilling out' isn't exactly my thing." Kono exhaled a bit of fire to prove his point.

"Mkay, well, I'll be back at some point, so - yeah," she said somewhat awkwardly, waving a hand to leave.

Kono waved and transformed into a dragon once she left, going to hide in the coin mountain again. He was generally most comfortable in his full dragon form, but he'd gotten quite used to being half shifted as well. He just didn't like being fully human.

Turning around in the clearing where she'd left Applesauce, Gemini cursed. "Seriously? I leave you alone for one day, and you leave me?" She muttered, shaking her head. "YOU'RE JUST AS BAD AS MY EX!" she shouted to Applesauce, wherever she was.

Who is she yelling at now? Kono sighed and buried his head further in the coins.

Gemini pouted in a tree, glumly eating an apple. "Goddammit, you took my food, too. I trusted you, you stupid horse!"

Oh… the stupid horse again. Of course. Kono grumbled a bit to himself, shifting his wings.

"Okay, fine. I'll walk back. It's only, what 60 miles? I should make it by next month," she muttered sarcastically, shaking her head.

We all know you're not leaving… I'm not an idiot. Kono continued listening because he had literally nothing better to do.

"Ok, so," she began, hopping to the ground and drawing in the dirt. "Either get some gold or be convicted as a witch. Personally, If rather have the gold. But how am I supposed to do that?" She groaned. "Okay, this is stupid. I'm going to be stuck here forever."

Well, you'll die before forever happens. Kono kept responding to Gemini mentally, fully aware that she couldn't hear him.

After several moments of sitting and thinking, Gemini got up and practiced her swordplay. It was odd, not being very good at it here. She was supposed to be a master back home. As her thoughts wandered, so did her feet, and a few minutes into her practiced, she crashed into a bush, falling through it and scraping her arms and face. "This is officially the worst campground in the world."

What the hell is she doing out there? Kono almost cared enough to check. Almost.

Gemini carefully extracted herself from the bush, which turned out to be a rose bush. After a moment of thought, she cut off a flower and stormed into the cave. "I've brought you a flower made of pain," she announced, tossing it as Kono before walking back the other way.

"'A flower made of pain'? Wow, you really are feeling angsty today." Nonetheless, Kono lifted his head out of the coins and examined the rose.

"How do you know the word angsty but not vegetarian?" Gemini demanded, annoyed. "I fell into a thorn bush, ok, I'm dying for like the twentieth time in the past 3 days."

"Kid, people call me angsty enough for me to know what it means." Kono had half shifted by now and picked up the rose.

"CAN YOU NOT CALL ME KID?" She cried exasperatedly.

"Why not? You're younger than I am." Kono said simply, twirling the rose by its stem.
