(Once again, Arya and Isabella waited outside as Joss and Bulwark go and tell Lyra the news. They walk in the village. In was almost dusk. They enter the Smith shop and find M making some weapons. She has only pants and a bra.)

Joss: Hey there sweet cheeks. Can you call Lyra? We finished our quest.

(She turns around seductively.)

M: No can do.

Joss: And why is that?

M: Because she is behind you.

(Lyra jumps from the ground to Joss' shoulder and then to the front desk. M puts down the heavy hammer and comes to the front.)

Lyra: What did you find?

Joss: Well, my self-esteem went down a little in the cold, I am fucking hungry and we almost died by a giant monster. But other than that, your dragon is dead.

Lyra: Dead?

Lyra: So, dead.

Joss: Yep. Like how I feel every time M ignores my feelings for her.

M: Ouch! That really hurts, big guy.

(Lyra gazes at both men.)

Joss: And here is the proof.

(He unloads the contents of the sack. M inspects it.)

M: Real dragon bone. Worth a fortune and with it, best armor and weapons.

(Lyra stands in her 2 little paws.)

Lyra: Good. You may rest in one of my houses. I guess you are tired of going up and down that mountain. I will arrange so those 2 waiting outside can enter without being noticed and take a well-deserved rest. Here is your pay for the quest.

(She claps her paws, and 2 cute cats bring a big bag of money.)

Joss: Isn't that a little too much?

Lyra: Is what you earned.

(She climbs down and disappears into town.)

M: Come, I will show you where you will be staying. After that, I will work on that beast and these bones. I will make a good project out of these babies.

(Bulwark nods his head and smiles.)

Bulwark: One, never question the payment unless your underpaid. And two, M, how about you find a place for the THREE of us... Romeo could ... Maaaybe take a night with you? I think he deserves that. I'm NOT saying necessarily needs to lead to anything... I think he be alright with just seeing you naked

(He laughs and heads to the door and holds it open for them.)

Bulwark: What do you say? - Smiles-

(She passes and smiles.)

M: I only have interest in making weapons. The hard steel, the soft leather. Those things excite me. Other than that...maybe...

(She laughs and guides them to a property far from the village. The house was quietly beautiful with a little forest behind it. There was almost no one walking by. She opens the house with a spare key.)

M: Welcome to you house for now. I will just ask that you don't break anything. The things in here are very special.

Joss: And why is that?

(He says while looking at some figurines.)

M: This house was owned by a hunter...and Lyra.

(He stops and looks at M.)

M: The hunter died, protecting her in a quest that went wrong against a Devilkan. Only Lyra returned barely alive and never again, entered this house. If she wants to loan you this, it must be that she trusts you, or that she doesn't give a crap anymore. But please, don't break anything.

(M has a sad look. She then tours them around the house. There are 2 bedrooms, a giant hall, 2 floor house and a main room.)

M: Girls sleep on the second floor, boys in the first. Do you have any questions?

(Bulwark admires the house, checks out the rooms and then sees the showers.)

Bulwark: YEEESS!!

(He says at a distance.)

Bulwark: Call dibs on the one closest to the bathroom!!

(He returns to them)

Bulwark: So, where's the kitchen? I could cook for everyone if they like? Oh, and when are the girls arriving?

M: Kitchen? First floor after the main room. And they are supposed to arrive in a couple of minutes if the cats don't get distracted by mouses or squirrels.

(She laughs.)

Joss: It is ok for me. I will sleep on whenever bed is empty.

(M leaves and after some minutes, the girls arrive. Arya has a black cat in her arms and Isabella has her weapon and what seems to be a piece of bread.)

Isabella: I can't believe it! Lyra's house...

Arya: Yes...

(Joss awaits them in a chair, near the entrance.)

Joss: Hello there, girls.

(Bulwark is in his room getting things organized and prepping for the shower.)

Bulwark: HELLOOO!!

(He says from his room)

Isabella: There are...SHOWERS?! Ok I will go then. Where are our rooms?!

Joss: Up to the right???

(Isabella throws her weapons on the floor and grabs Arya.)

Isabella: We will shower together, like old times.

Arya: Ok...

(She let the cat go and puts her weapon on the floor. Both begin to walk up the stairs.)

Joss: If you need help, call me!

Isabella: If you show near the bathroom, I will cut you in pieces.

Joss: Damn! Such hostility!

(Joss walks near the chimney to gather some heat. He sits near and contemplates the fire, lost in his mind. The girls get undressed and both enter the shower. Isabella opens the hot water first. The vapor rises.)

Isabella: Ahhhhh. This is life. Come here Arya.

(Arya enters the shower. She closes her eyes and enjoys the water on her skin.)

Isabella: Let me clean your back. There was some soap, and they take turns washing each other.)

(Bulwark is in his tub and fills it up with hot boiling water and just relax in it)

Bulwark: OH LOOORD THIS IS THE BEST!!

(He begins to fall asleep)

(The girls finish taking their baths and come down to the first floor. Night falls. They see Joss staring at the flames. Isabella comes closer and kneels beside him.)

Isabella: Jaeger, are you ok?

(He comes back to reality.)

Joss: Oh, yeah. And look at you! I could take a bite of that pie. Better go get Bulwark and get ready to eat.

(He stands up, stretches and goes to where Bulwark is. Isabella bit her lower lip and after some moments, she stands. Both girls are using shorts and a simple shirt. Arya looks at Isabella with worry. They walk to the kitchen and await at the guys in a round table. Joss enters the bathroom.)

Joss: Hey man! Come out already. We gonna eat and I need to use the bath!

(Bulwark wakes up after hearing the knocks of the door.)

Bulwark: Oh shit.. How long have I ... BE OUT IN A MINUTE!, MY BAD.

(He dries up and puts on some jeans, he opens the door and leave the room shirtless. Joss sees all the scars from cuts, stabs, and gunshots)

Bulwark: My bad bro, fell asleep. I cleaned up everything over there for ya.

(He heads to the kitchen)

Bulwark: Hello girls, seems like everyone is happy about their shower.

(He smiles and heads to the fridge and gets a few ingredients out and preps the kitchen to cook)

Bulwark: Hope y'all are hungry? I am.

Arya: I do.

(She looks at Isabella who answers a few seconds later.)

Isabella: Y-yes.

(Joss opens the hot water. Vapor begins to rise, and the glass is purely white. He stands in front of it.)

Joss: Who...who are you.

Who am I.

(He cleans the glass only to see his reflection. He tries to touch his back. The sensation of the scar, the doubts of his past, he walks and submerges himself in the bathtub. He takes a deep breath and goes down again. He closes his eyes. Memories of a kid comes to his mind. Later, a new world, a cat named Lucy, a stranger named Arabella. He cherished those moments. He arises almost without breath and cleans himself. He dries, as always, head first, then his feet. He doesn't know why; he just does it. He grabs some pants and covers his wound with a white shirt. Before leaving, he takes one last glimpse of the person standing in front of him. A complete stranger, maybe no one. He walks to where the guys are.)
