Right so, Amazon warrior ladies have lots of neat magical toys, and it's lots of fun to steal them. Amazon warrior ladies also have lots of sharp, pointy weapons, and it's not so much fun dodging them.

Kuronue ducked as more spears and arrows flew over his head. "I don't think they're going to stop chasing us!" he called to his partner in crime.

Yoko gracefully dodged a stream of acid that melted several innocent rocks and trees. "There are too many for us to kill."

Kuronue chanced a look back. Yeah, fifty or more screaming Amazon warriors was just a bit out of their league. "We can't both make it out of here!"

Yoko glared at him as they ran. "Kuronue, don't you do anything stupid."

"I'm not going to," Kuronue said. Without any warning, Kuronue reached over and yanked Yoko's shirt. Startled, Yoko fell to the ground, minus one shirt. Not missing a beat, Kuronue jumped into the air, flapping his wings.

"Sorry, Yoko!" Kuronue called, and flew away as the mob of Amazons descended upon Yoko.

Yoko crawled back into their camp the next afternoon.

"Have fun with the ladies?" Kuronue asked cheerfully.

With effort, Yoko raised his head and glared furiously at Kuronue. "If you ever do that again, I will kill you."

Kuronue grinned at him. "But I think we've hit on a new strategy! You distract female guards by going in without a shirt, and I rob them blind!"

Yoko stumbled towards the baths, taking a moment to shoot a parting glare at Kuronue. "Never again will I be shirtless in front of more than one female at a time."

Kuronue would have teased him more, but the nearby tree shifted ominously. "Fine, fine," Kuronue said. "Whatever you say, buddy."

But when Yoko was out of hearing range, all Kuronue could do was snicker.
