Mirabella snorted with anoyance as Ben rolled over and fell back to sleep. She sat by the fire and mulled over the situation they were in a few times before she concluded a solution 'Follow the river back where it came' she murmured. But all the turns they took, and down a few forks if she could remember. 'Blast it all' she said, and kicked a rock into the fire.
'Thunderation!!'. Mirabella yelped as she heard someone yell. At that Falco and Rosie sauntered in with an old man following. He looked a decent sort, but he had an odd sort of smile on his face, almost like he was about to jeer and laugh. Falco also seemed to be amused by something, but Mirabella could ask later.
'We have a guide!' said Rosie proudly
'By heavens, that's lucky!' Mirabella said, and grinned politely 'We would've been out here for an Age if we had tried to get on home alone!'
The man looked at her and scowled.
