"Listen, I don't make the rules, I just report them. I don't give a crap about the necklace, all I care about is getting to the Outlander's City before it's dawn." She said.
She threw the vine away and started to limp through the forest farther.

"Okay, okay," Said Tara "Just thought it'd be kinda handy to know,"
After all, you might as well know why you're somewhere. She toyed idly with one of her spare drum magazines, unslotting and slotting bullets.

Yvaine wandered through the forest as the conversation became quiet between her and Tara. Tara had gotten Yvaine thinking about the necklace and Stars. But Yvaine didn't have time to think about that. "I would like to know where this necklace came from too...but there is no way I'm going to find it's enchanter. Or if it was enchanted all by itself then there's no explanation."

Tara frowned quizzically and rolled a .45 ACP bullet between her fingers.
"Hang on, enchant itself?" She half-smiled "If I didn't know who you were, I'd really think you were just making this up as you were going along,"
I mean, selkies were one thing, but this was faintly ridiculous.

Yvaine turned around and frowned. "Listen, Selkie, I didn't ask to be a Star, I never wanted to be a Star, it just came up that way. I'm not making this up. Why would I want to make this up? Watch this." Yvaine said as she stopped and her body started to glow and lite up the whole forest. "If you don't wanna go blind, cover your eyes." Her glow lasted for a few minutes because she was angry and trying to prove a point.
Soon, she stopped. "Believe me now?"

Tara closed her eyes, for all the good that did. She opened them again once the glare had died down, her deep, dark eyes accentuating her surprised expression. Everything was tinted blue, though, and it'd wrecked her night vision. Her knuckles were white as she clenched the bullet.
"I never said I never believed you," Tara said, as though adressing a crate of nitroglycerine "It was just a bit of what you might call a 'culture shock' to find out stars were nothing like what we thought and the whole system didn't revolve around hydrogen fusion, but actually on the whims of necklaces. I was just expressing surprise,"

Yvaine bit her lip. "True, sorry I overreacted." Yvaine turned back around and started to limp once again. "Can I ask you something?" Yvaine asked. "What is a Selike doing in the Avalon Isle in the middle of the night?"

Tara looked both ways furtively. She raised the Thompson slightly and leaned towards Yvaine.
"Look," She said in a stage whisper "I don't want you to tell anyone else, but..."
She turned suddenly and glared at a shadow.
"I'm on holiday,"

Yvaine turned and looked at Tara. "Um...what exactly are you doing?" She asked. "Your on holiday? What does that mean?" Yvaine was starting to become very confused.

"Look, I was trying to take a break from well, business and...er," It was kinda hard to explain exactly why a seal might need to take a break, but hey, you could try.
"The sea's kinda quieter around here, and there're a lot more fish.She began, starting at the bottom "It's easier 'round here..."
She ran out of explanation.

Yvaine cocked an eyebrow. She didn't want to say it, but she and no idea what Tara was talking about. "Ok, ok, ok...start over form the beginning, cause I'm totally lost."

"Don' worry, so am I," Said Tara, both eyebrows raised "To be honest, I just wanted a change of scenery,"
She shrugged. She'd certainly got that, at any rate.

Yvaine nodded and turned back around. Her limp was starting to hurt. She think that somebody that could help her was a...docotr? She wasn't sure what it was called. But she could tell she was getting sleepy. The sunrise must be close.
