Isobel stared at the disgusting creatures and pulled her cloak up over her nose. Pah! They smelled muy repugnante! And they looked worse than they smelled!

Laurel woke her from her reverie. “I can’t say the smell diminishes over time,” she remarked, “But maybe this will help,” she said, handing over a sprig of herbs. “Just press it to your nose if you feel another gag coming on,” and she winked as Isobel took the herbs and smiled. "Gracias, Laurel." Well. Perhaps she would find the women in this party easier to get along with than the simpering delicate flowers she usually had to deal with.

As soon as the other woman was with Ravin, Isobel pushed the herbs up against her nose and took a deep whiff. Ahh! Much better! She briefly considered using something to affix the sprig to her upper lip and chuckled. Si, she would look muy bonita with a mustache, she was sure.

She was considering the choices of mounts when Ravin and Laurel approached her. Apparently Senor Ravin had not been on one of these horrible beasts yet, either, for he said to both her and Laurel, "Have either of you ever ridden on a aerial mount before? I'm not too proud to admit that I've never used such means of transportation before so any pointers you might give me would be truly appreciated."

Isobel was about to answer that she had ridden a griffin once but never anything that was so close to what she cleaned off the dinner table when the perverted skull spoke up.

"Hey Cutters! Bessie here is so chatty... she just spilled her guts to suave ol' Barry. Oh yeah, I got the moves. She says you just tell 'em what you want and they'll do it... Within reason, of course. I think she's just playing hard to get."

The skull was beginning to amuse her. Was it actually leering at the undead bird? This was simply too hilarious and Isobel burst into laughter. "Si, Senor Cabesa... you are simply irresistable," Isobel blew Barry a kiss and chuckled as she swung herself up onto a slightly less decayed roc and patted its skeletal neck almost affectionately. "Arriba, Pollo... we have places to go."
