Woofboy had been very explicit in his instructions to stay at Elsewhere while he ran some errands. But Florida had only just now gotten her friend back. She was rather reluctant to let him out of her sight again. That was why she'd followed him. All the way into the nice suburban part of town up on Dragon's Tooth Hill.

It had been a mistake.

Crystaviel and the others had found her. They had tried to grab her, but she was pretty good with her knife, and made them re-think that plan. But they were circling her on their bikes, preventing her escape.

“Ron!!” she screamed, hoping the house he'd gone into wasn't sound proofed. Woofboy and Wiseguy soon emerged, just as one of the elves picked up a stick.

“Stay back!” Crystaviel warned them. “This Soho filth stole something from us!”

“Didn't!” Florida knew it was important to keep up certain appearances.

“I know her family.” Wiseguy said. “Let me take her-”

Stormy Waves knocked the knife from Florida's hand and grabbed her. “Got her!”

“Don't hurt her!” Wiseguy screamed.

Stormy Waves had Florida's arms pinned, but she squirmed and managed to sink her teeth into his ear. He screamed, and dropped her. The next thing she knew, Woofboy was holding her protectively. Wow he was fast.

The standoff remained for a moment before Crystaviel finally said; “It's possible we made a mistake. The thief had three marks on the left shoulder in the shape of a triangle. I saw that quite clearly."

Once he had figured out who and what Florida was, Woofboy had taken the precaution of having Florida's birth mark temporarily moved. When he showed her mark free shoulder, the quartet looked disappointed. Though as they left, Stormy Waves actually smiled at Woofboy and Florida. “That's some kid.” he said approvingly.

As soon as they were gone, Strider and Wiseguy's husband Leander ran from the house. Woofboy explained what he had done. Though his mouth had lost the proper shape for human speech, so he had to write it down.

“How long will Crystaviel stay in Bordertown?” Strider asked.

“I don't know.” Leander said. “But I think she'll only get suspicious if she connects me with Florida.” He knelt, semi-formally before Florida, who still clung to the now sitting Woofboy. “Which means I may not see you for some time your Highness. But I only stay away to keep you safe.”

Florida let go of Woofboy and nodded. “Wiseguy take care of you. I take care of Woofboy. Everyone safe.”

Strider smiled. “Oh yeah. Put her on the throne, and we'll change the world.”
