Harlequin hadn't really looked up at the interuption, but had continued sewing strips of material onto the tail of the kite. There seemed to be an unspoken agreement between the children and Harlequin not to mention the flame-thrower plan in front of Juniper...

The three had soon assembled a collection of items on the bar - a couple of soda siphons, some flexible pipe, and some large bottles of clear spirits. The siphons were soon filled with the liquor, and the pipes fitted to the nozzles.

"So how is this going to work then?" asked Jonathon.

Jessamin saved Harlequin the effort of answering: "Quin lays in the harness and holds the siphons, then we can stick some paper in the ends of the pipes to light the er..." She quickly looked at the label of the bottle, "FeuerAlkohol. Quin can squirt fire on things then."

They started to gather everything up to go upstairs.

Jessamin and Jonathan led the way to the first floor of the building. There were a number of large rooms here for guests and it was to the grandest of these they took Harlequin.
"The master bedroom has the biggest windows," Jessamin explained. "You can launch better from there."
"The pirate Captain had it last night," Jonathan added. "But I don't think he'll mind us using it for a bit."

The only signs of Magpie's recent tenancy of the room were the umade bed and the empty bottle of rum on a chest of drawers.

Heading to the window, Jessamin pulled aside the shutters and looked out.
"There's a dragon out there!" she exclaimed. "A big red one..."

The dragon could be seen circling around and about, taking its pick of the targets below. As the children and Harlequin watched, Juniper Jones came hurrying up the stairs and into the room, looking unusually flustered.

"That dragon's killed a person already," she warned, showing no concern for the feelings of her children. "The doctor wanted you to be sure you know how dangerous it is, Mr Harlequin."

Turning to the children, she added:
"Jessamin, Jonathan, it's time to come downstairs now. We're going to go and look in the cellars for something to kill the dragon, alright?"
"But I wanted to see the kite fly!" Jonathan complained.
"Bye, Quin," Jessamin said, accepting the turn of events and the two children followed their mother back out of the room.

ooc: This thread now ends. Harlequin should continue in the Outside: A Dragon Dices with Death thread if launching the kite, or begin a new thread for an interaction inside the pub.

[OOC: Sorry for the delay - I've had a bit of writer's block. I blame the dragon!]

[OOC: Darn. Jonathan's not the only one who wanted to see the kite fly :)]
