Anton grinned. "Whatever you like. I'm not going to lose, so it hardly matters."

"Ah... So you do have some of that Halruaan arrogance in you... Fine, what would you like that I can give? Money? Rum?"

Anton thought about that for a moment. "Hmmmm... how about for a kiss?"

*Mariah's eyes widened slightly and her cheeks flushed... She hadn't at all expected that answer... Still, she was never one to back down from a challenge... She laughed a little, although it had a slightly nervous tone to it.* "All right then... If I can't find you, I'll give you a kiss... If I do find you though... you're going to get slobbering drunk tonight and dance wildly with me until you fall over. I've got to get rid of some of that stiffness about you..."

Anton smiled, relieved by her reaction. "Its a bet then... You'd better get going... I won't be here when you come look for me."

"Yeah... and the captain will have my head if I don't get to work... Run along and hide, little magician... I'll find you later..." *Mariah gave him a grin before walking off and getting back to work.*

Anton smiled slightly, watching as Mariah left. Once she was out of sight, he opened his spellbook back up, unable to keep from grinning as he began studying one of the spells. He figured that technically, he was cheating, but it would be worth it just to see the look on her face when he finally revealed himself. Looking up to make sure that she remained out of sight, he cast a spell to make himself invisible. After the spell was cast, he quietly stood up and found an unobtrusive corner in which to wait for Mariah to finish her duties and try and find him.

*Mariah worked hard for quite some time along with the rest of the crew, until finally things began to settle down and most of the chores were finished... It was then that Mariah began scouring the ship for Anton... She searched all of the most obvious hiding places first, mostly among the supplies in the hold and the galley. Then she searched the crew's various sleeping places before she started asking around. Her search was in vain though as she was unable to find any trace at all of Anton. Finally she stopped for a break, leaning against a wall and crossing her arms over her chest, extremely disgruntled at her inability to find him.*

Anton could barely keep from laughing as Mariah tried to find him. When she gave up and leaned against a wall near him, he couldn't resist. Walking quietly over towards he, he leaned up against the wall right behind her. "So, does this mean I win?" he asked, grinning, as the spell faded and he reappeared.

*Mariah jumped, nearly falling over in her surprise. She grabbed hold of the wall to steady herself, turning to look at Anton. She glared at him, although her gaze lacked any real hostility.* "Where have you been?! And how did you sneak up on me like that?!"

Anton grinned. "I'll tell you after you give me my prize."

*Mariah blushed lightly, straightening as she pushed herself off of the wall.* "Fine... but you'd better tell me... I know this ship like the back of my hand, so I want to know precisely how I failed to find you..." *She hesitated a moment, glancing around to make sure that there was no one that would see them, before she leaned towards Anton, gently pressing her lips to his.*

The kiss was over far too quickly for Anton, but he couldn't keep from smiling anyways. "If you must know... I was right over there the entire time," Anton said, pointing to the corner where he had been standing.

*Mariah's eyes widened as she glanced over at the corner.* "What? That's impossible! I would have seen you there!"

"Apparently you didn't," Anton said, unable to keep the grin off of his face.
