Rulf and Sarkis were both walking down a dirt path in the middle of a forest. Rulf kept a watchful eye on the lucario with the loincloth and staff that led the way to a mine that he wasn't even sure existed. Rulf held his steel shield in one hand as he walked on, with his axe strapped to his waist. After a while of walking, Rulf felt like he just had to ask Sarkis a question. "Where did a lucario like you get that staff? You didn't make it, did you?" he inquired.

Sarkis chuckled before saying, "No, no. I'm skilled at many things, making weapons isn't one of them. I found it on a dead guy. I was going to sell it but I grew rather attached to it."

"You find a lot of things on dead people?" Rulf questioned him, now a little suspicious of his traveling companion.

"When I can find them, oh, and don't worry, that guy was dead well before I found him. He must have been sleeping in a cave and died of old age, or the cold. Who knows, all that matters is I got a nice looking staff out of it, and a few gold coins." Sarkis replied as he smiled.

"What do you do for a living? Are you a scavenger? A vulture?" Rulf asked him.

"Last time I checked, it's called being a successful adventurer. If you want to become an adventurer and live well, you had better be prepared to take what the dead leave behind." Sarkis told him.

"Our people have our weapons and clothes burned with us when we die. Maybe part of the reason was to stop people from stealing from our dead." Rulf responded.

"You can't steal from the dead. I think they have bigger problems like...being dead." Sarkis said as he walked on.

"I wouldn't be too happy if I knew someone was going to steal from me while I'm dead." Rulf stated.

"That may be so but really, what's the bigger problem? Someone stealing from you, or being dead?" Sarkis asked him.

"Being dead, but I still wouldn't be happy if someone stole from me while I'm dead." Rulf replied.

"I honestly wouldn't care if someone stole from me when I'm dead. Well, I wouldn't care about anything if I were dead." Sarkis told him.

"What about the afterlife? Don't you lucarios have a religion?" Rulf asked.

"No offense to you if you're religious, but religion seems to start a lot of pointless wars. Religion is overrated." Sarkis responded.

"So you don't believe in a life after death? Is life not bleak for you then?" Rulf questioned him.

"Why would it be?" Sarkis confusedly asked him.

"Well, if this life is the only one we have, then aren't you scared of death?" Rulf inquired.

"Not really. I just don't think about it, and enjoy life as much as I can." Sarkis said with a smile.

"And how do you do that?" Rulf asked.

"By getting drunk and sleeping with many men and women." Sarkis replied with a grin on his face.

Rulf just shook his head and sighed in response as he just kept walking up the dirt road which now went up a big hill. They walked on for hours. The sky was beginning to grow darker. Rulf was beginning to think Sarkis was leading him somewhere else but he guessed that was just him being paranoid. At this point, he guessed this mine they were heading to was still miles away, so Rulf started talking to his traveling companion to pass the time. "Do all lucarios wear loincloths?" Rulf asked him.

"No, but it seemed quite a few of these humans seemed interested in what sex I was. They stared at my crotch whenever I walked into one of their towns. Although I don't mind people looking when they're attractive, you always get that one guy who looks like he's crawled out of a pit of shit and it's one of those guys that don't stop staring. I wouldn't mind you staring, though." Sarkis said as he grinned.

"Remember, I don't go that way." Rulf replied.

"I've changed people's minds before." Sarkis smugly responded.

"You won't get me into your bed again." Rulf firmly stated.

"So you say." Sarkis replied with a little chuckle.

"You don't quit, do you?" Rulf questioned him.

"Nope." Sarkis happily responded.

Rulf sighed before asking, "Is your mind always so dirty?"

"Yep!" Sarkis said as he grinned.

Rulf didn't say anymore, he just chose to keep on walking to wherever it was they were heading to. One hour later, they walked into a town. It seemed peaceful enough. The buildings were made of stone, and looked fairly solid. Although Rulf was happy to that there was an inn nearby, he did have a few questions on his mind which he quickly voiced. "I thought we were heading towards a mine."

Sarkis looked back at him as he said, "We are, but it's dark. One night in this place wouldn't be so bad compared to sleeping outside, would it?"

"Depends, we're not sharing a bed are we?" Rulf asked him.

Sarkis was about to answer him until he realized something, and mumbled one single word. "... Shit."

"What's wrong?" Rulf inquired.

"My coin purse is gone. I must have left it back in that room." Sarkis told him.

"Looks like we're sleeping outside then." Rulf said with a smile on his face.

"I hate sleeping outside. I get my fur dirty that way." Sarkis grumbled.

"Stop being a big girl and let's go find some shelter." Rulf said as he walked back off in the direction they came, back towards the woods.

Sarkis glanced over to the inn he could have been sleeping in for the night, if only he had remembered to bring his coin purse. Half an hour passed, and now they were both in the middle of the woods, looking for any kind of shelter. "I'm tired." Sarkis said.

"I know." Rulf replied before looking up to the sky. "I think it's going to rain soon."

"Oh great, lovely to know." Sarkis mumbled.

Rulf could see a cliff not so far from them. He hoped that there was some kind of cave over there. "Let's move." he said as Sarkis sighed and followed on. On the way to the cliff, thunder could be heard before the dark clouds showered everything in heavy rain. The sky grew much darker making everything hard to see, but they eventually found what they were looking for. They quickly entered the cave they found and sat down to have a rest, now feeling cold and hungry. They had to sleep on the cold hard rock floor of the cave, much to the displeasure of Sarkis who was incessantly complaining.

"I don't mind being wet and sitting on hard things, but this is just unpleasant." Sarkis stated as he now put down his staff, and lay down on the hard rock floor.

"You know what else is unpleasant? The image I just got in my head." Rulf responded as he rested on the cave floor.

"Well, it's nice to know you're at least thinking of me." Sarkis replied with a sly grin on his face.

"Shut up and sleep." Rulf ordered him as he put his shield and axe to one side and now closed his eyes.

"You're no fun." Sarkis pouted before closing his eyes and eventually managing to fall asleep.

The next morning, Rulf awoke with an aching pain in his neck and back, he guessed it was because he was sleeping on nothing but hard stone. He sat upright and yawned before looking at Sarkis and seeing he was still asleep. Suddenly, something on Sarkis caught Rulf's attention, and that was the obscene bulge that formed in his loincloth. 'Oh by the Gods!' Rulf thought to himself as he looked away, thinking he may have seen what was under Sarkis' loincloth.

Sarkis now stirred slightly before opening his eyes and yawning, showing off his dog-like fangs before closing his mouth and looking over to Rulf. "Sleep well in this horrible little cave?" Sarkis asked as he attempted to stand up before he looked at his loincloth which was doing little to cover his erection. 'Oh, that's a little embarrassing.' he thought to himself.

"No, I did not." Rulf stated as he kept his eyes on the only way out of the cave.

Sarkis noticed that Rulf didn't look back at him, and he thought he knew why he wasn't looking back at him. "Are you feeling well?" Sarkis inquired, hoping to get his attention.

"I'll be better when we're out of this cave." Rulf told him, not bothering to look back at the lucario that was talking to him.

Sarkis smirked as he asked, "Why don't you look at me when you're talking to me?"

"Do I have to?" Rulf questioned him.

"Of course not, I was just wondering if you saw something that you couldn't quite handle." Sarkis said to him before laughing.

"Get up you horny dog before I leave you behind!" Rulf angrily replied before picking up his shield and storming out of the cave while Sarkis quickly stood up and grabbed his staff. Sarkis walked quickly to catch up with Rulf, and when he caught up with the human, he stayed behind him as he didn't want to accidentally expose himself. He didn't want to annoy the man a little too much. Sarkis thought it was a good idea to just leave Rulf alone for a while before trying to flirt and make him feel uncomfortable for his own amusement again. A few more minutes passed, and along the way to the mysterious mine that both of them knew little about, they found a few berries. Rulf didn't know what they were called, but he knew they tasted nice and he wouldn't regret eating them later.

After that, they moved on, still hungry but no longer feeling like they were going to starve. Sarkis led the way, walking through a small town and back into the woods once more. They walked on silently, much to Sarkis' disappointment. He couldn't stand the silence much longer, he just had to speak up. "Why did you leave your people? Did you get bored hanging around the same people like I did?" Sarkis asked him.

"No, I just felt like my people were getting along just fine without me. I felt like I'd make a better adventurer than a warrior anyway." Rulf replied.

"Can't be a good adventurer without being a good fighter." Sarkis told him.

"I didn't say I can't fight." Rulf said very clearly.

"Good, I like a good man that can put up a fight." Sarkis responded as his smirk grew a little bigger.

"I'll fight you till one of us is dead if you try get me back into bed with you." Rulf casually said to him.

"Oh please, I won't TRY... I'll actually do it." Sarkis said the last part quietly before he chuckled.

"What was that?" Rulf asked him after hearing his quiet words.

"Ohh, nothing." Sarkis replied with a less than innocent smile on his face.

Rulf shook his head and smiled before looking back up in the direction he was traveling, and stopping in his tracks. "Is that the mine?" Rulf asked as he pointed towards a cave opening that was big enough for a human to fit inside at the base of a small cliff.

"I'm not sure. Can't hurt to look though." Sarkis said before walking over to the cave entrance.

Rulf followed Sarkis into the cave. It was dark, but there was still a small amount of light which caught both of them by surprise. They both walked a little further into the cave, walking towards a light that seemed to be coming from down the end of the cave. When they finally and cautiously reached the end, they realized the light was coming from around the corner to the left of them, deeper into the cave. Rulf looked around the corner, and saw four big candles on small tables lighting up the large room in the cave. In the room, there were a few cushions in the corner, a battered looking wardrobe, and a big brown fur rug in the middle of the room which looked to have been made out of a bear. Rulf wondered who would live here, he was about to ask Sarkis some questions, until he heard an impish female voice shouting at them.

"What are you doing here!" were the words shouted at them from behind.

Rulf and Sarkis both spun around to see a weavile that was now dressed in a small fur vest, fur shorts and wearing small boots. Both of them wondered how she got those clothes in her size. Rulf guessed he should be the one to apologize to her for coming into her home. "I apologize. We were looking for a mine and..." Rulf said before he was quickly cut off by the weavile.

"Let me guess," she began as she held a finger up at Rulf, telling him to say no more. "You're looking for treasure aren't you?"

Rulf couldn't help but look at her knife-like claws. He knew she could easily kill a man with those. "Yeah, you know where we want to go?" he asked her.

"Yep! I could take you there for a fee!" the Weavile replied with a grin.

Sarkis sighed before saying, "A fee? What do you want? Gold? A better cave? Sexual favors?"

The weavile looked at the lucario. "Ohh, that could be fun! But no! If there is treasure I want... A third of it all! Seems fair right? We all get our share."

Rulf shook his head before asking, "And what if we don't find anything in that mine?"

"Well, I'll just get you two to repay me some other way." she said as she smirked.

Sarkis smiled, he liked her already. "Let's bring her along then!" he exclaimed.

Rulf knew Sarkis only wanted her around because he wanted to get into those fur shorts of hers, but she did know the way to the mine. "Fine, I have no objections. My name is Rulf by the way, the lucario is Sarkis." Rulf told the weavile.

"My name is Taleen, and if you try to steal my share I'll scratch your eyes out." she happily replied.

"Oh no, not the face." Sarkis said.

"Fine, I'll go for your crotch then!" Taleen replied with a wide grin on her face.

"In what way will you go for my crotch?" Sarkis asked her as he smirked.

"The way that leaves you bleeding and crying!" Taleen responded with a strange sense of enthusiasm in her voice.

"Oh... I just won't take your share then." Sarkis stated.

"Good! But for now, I wanna sleep. Don't mess up my place or I'll kill you in your sleep!" Taleen happily said as she walked over to the pile of cushions and lay on them.

Rulf knew that Taleen didn't seem very sane, but she knew where this mine they wanted to go to was, so he'd put up with her and the horny lucario he had been traveling with. Taleen threw a few cushions over for both Rulf and Sarkis to sit and sleep on. They cautiously watched each other, but somehow, they knew they meant no harm to each other.
