"That was... brutal," Flicker offered once the two had fled the rainforest, after Blueberry insisted to make an eagle mark next to the floor of Cassowary's corpse. "To symbolise this is the work of Eagle," he confirmed.
"If you won't be brutal, you can't be an assassin. My grandfather told me that. He said his brother was one." Blueberry replied, sharpening his dagger. He had cleaned it in the Diamond Spray Delta and washed off all the blood. He and Flicker were back in their old cave.
"I think," Blueberry said after a while. "Maybe we should have more weapons for saving your... scrap that, Singe, eh? How 'bout we steal some? Save your scale for when we truely need it. I'll do the stealing part. It'll be very suspicious if a cloaked figure walked past a stand and all of a sudden it's weaponry is gone." 

Flicker wasn't so on board, but agreed that facing Thorn and her stronghold required more weapons than what they had. "Fine," Flicker sighed. "Go on ahead. I stole the throwing stars from a weaponry store near the outskirts of the Scorpion Den, near where Thorn first camped with her Outclaws. Their weaponry is good. Singe used to gamble with them all the time for a little bottle of poison."
Blueberry saw Flicker's wistful face and his turned serious. "Which is why we have to free Singe as soon as possible. You can stay here and cook the pig I caught earlier. If you're wondering, yes, I eat meat. Only roasted ones though. Oh, and you can go scavenging for berries. I'm very picky, so I only eat blueberries." 
Flicker hid her laugh. "Sure, go ahead. It's midday, be back by dusk, if you can." Blueberry agreed, emptying his pouches for the mission, only saving a throwing star. He flew off soon after, with Flicker watching until his shape disappeared.

Brambles prickled at Flicker's scales as she scavenged for blueberries. She had Blueberry's dagger and used it to cut vines in her way. It'd been almost an hour since the RainWing had left. In that time, Flicker had weaved a basket out of reeds to collect blueberries and made a wooden spear by carving it out of a fallen branch. She didn't plan to take down dragons with it, only fish. It simply wasn't strong enough to penetrate dragons scales. She had tried it on herself.
Once her basket was full, Flicker headed down to the Diamond Spray Delta to catch fish. She hated water, but Blueberry had hinted he liked fish. Throwing down the spear ten times caught Flicker one fish. She kept on doing it until she had three, enough to please Blueberry. They would have a feast tonight.

It was midnight when Blueberry returned. Flicker had gotten hungry and tired of waiting for him, so she'd eaten the pig, leaving Blueberry with the berries and fish. He had multiple scars on him, burn marks, and the one crossed on his mouth was reopened. There were also weird spiky green things stuck into his scales.
Flicker jerked awake, concerned. His pouches were bulging, and emptying them left Flicker with gleaming, dangerous weapons. He mumbled something like, "Let me sleep explain tomorrow." and collapsed on the moss bed Flicker had made for him. 
She couldn't sleep, so she decided to exclaim Blueberry's new weapons. There were two more daggers, three tiny bottles of poison, two knives, seven chakrams and six silver discs. Flicker bought the two's old weapons and sorted the weapons out so that each had about equal. 

In the morning, Blueberry woke with a shade of green. "Aieeeeeeeeeeee!" he screamed, then calmed down, his colours returning to normal. 
Flicker had already gotten up and prepared breakfast: yesterday's leftover as Blueberry didn't eat, and two extra albatrosses Flicker had caught near the Kingdom of the Sea. She looked at Blueberry and handed him a roast fish with his pouches stocked with weapons. "Care to explain?" 

Blueberry glanced around. "You know how you are wanted? With those posters? Well I am too. And guess who was putting up those posters? My father."
