"I am happy to help miss. However, due to certain circumstances, I must be on my way well before sunset." I reply as I think to myself that my mama didn't raise no dummy.

"That is most acceptable." she says brightly. "A brigand made off with a chest containing several family heirlooms. They have little monetary value, but mean the world to my sister and I. They've been handed down from mother to daughter in our family for generations." She looks at me doe-eyed as she grasps my hands softly in hers, then coos sweetly "I'm sure a heroic adventurer such as yourself can make short work of that scary man and be back at the village before dinner time."

My face flushes at the unexpected praise. I puff my chest and strike my manliest gentleman adventurer pose, and state with utter confidence that no gentleman would abandon a maiden in dire straits. I completely fail to notice a slight twitch in her right eye, and the taught jawline of a mouth firmly clamped shut desperately trying not to burst out in laughter.

"We should hurry if we want to make it back in time. I heard from some guards that they believe he is hiding out in a cave nearby just a short distance inside the forrest near the mountains to our north." She says with some urgency.

I gather my things, secure my armor, and weapons. "Okay, Let's go." On our trek I try to strike up a some conversation to pass the time. "So... You have a sister? Older or younger?"

She looks over at me and smiles gently. "We're twins actually. Many say they can't tell us apart, but I don't know why. We dress differently, wear our hair different, and even have different hobbies. That and she is a night person. I'm a day person myself." Then a puzzling look crosses her face. "Hmm... I'm not exactly sure where she is right now". A moment later, her bright smile was back. "Anyway, it shouldn't be far now. Follow me." She takes the lead a few paces ahead. Unbeknowst to me, a cunning smile briefly crosses her lips, only to disappear a moment later like it was never there.

Huh. Save the day, catch the bad guy, and earn the favor of two beautiful sisters. What could go wrong?
