Burning the midnight oil... (OPEN!)

"It's been a couple of years for me" smiled Lynne "God, that makes me feel old. Itr seems like just yesterday I was a newbie" she grinned broadly

"So what do you guys want to see?"

''Gee, I don't know...'' Jessica seemed to ponder the question as she stroked the soft fur of the tiny squirrel perched on her shoulder. But it wasn't long before a spark of child-like mischief glittered in her eyes.
<<How about a forbidden or scary place?>>, she thought. But there was no need to say it aloud, because her eyes held her answer, clear and plain in her gaze. ''Surprise me!'', she said shrugging, but with a tempting smile.

Dexter was not in the mood for another adventure and he could feel that it woul end up happening if he wasn't careful. He already knew Lynne was adventerus from his dungeon experience and judjing by the shine in Jessicas eyes she was too.

"I dont mined, so long as it is safe." He utterd the words cerfuly so that Lynne would know what they ment, not the dungeons. Her stil didn't sleep well because of that. Inside him Dexter reealy wanted to talk about the whole buisness, but he was cautious too he had not said much about it or talked to Lynne since then. It was not the right time now ether with Jessica around.

Lynne had tensed at the suggestion. She hadn't quite gotten over her experience in the dungeon yet and she had no wish for a follow up.

"There are some interesting places further up" she suggested, knowing there was little chance of any misfortune befalling them up there.

If Jessica was dissappointed she didn't show it.
She had realized at once that Dexter didn't really feel like going to look for an adventure in the dark corridors of the scholl at night, and she wondered if he'd had a bad experience doing that recently, but didn't ask. She felt he wouldn't talk about it while she was there. Perhaps Lynne knew about it too...?
''All right, up we go then...'', and saying this she followed Lynne and Dexter through the bookshelves.

Dexter didn't want an awquared silence so he cautiously thought of an easy conversation that wouln' dig up any thing painful. "So Jessica tell us a bit about your self, where you from?

He would rather focus on Jessica than himself and it seemed sutible. As the walked Dexter piked up a strange scent. There was an aroma of burning in the air. It was the smell of burnt paper, it was intimidating especialy for him.

Unwillingly but to be shour he asked. "Do you two smell any thing?" He hoped that his nose was playing up but he doubted it, the smell of smoke was in the air.
