Edit topic

Alex: He starts following Resh, looking back at Tseth to make sure he follows.

Tseth: He looks down at Parvus, and scoops him up before following everyone. He walks at the back of the group.

Parvus: He chitters happily at Tseth, curling up and falling asleep again.
Resh: He continues walking, and soon the forest floor clears into a distinguishable path. He makes little gestures and mutters to himself as he walks.

Salmook: he lets go of Rhiv's hand and walks a little faster. it's nice being more out in the open - he realizes how much he misses the clearing. "Mr. Resh, uh, sir? Do you think we're getting anywhere?"

Rhiv: he scoffs and tries to hide a smirk - it's the closest thing to a full-on smile he'll afford these strangers. it's nice seeing Salmook happy again, and he's asking a half-decent question for once. "I'll hope so, kiddo."

Tseth: As they walk, he scans the surrounding forest for any movement. It's good that they aren't walking through dense forest anymore.

Resh: He looks down at Salmook, slightly startled. “Oh-“ He smiles at Salmook reassuringly. “I think so. I wonder who made this path… hopefully not those weird cultists.” He seems to rethink his decision to go down this path, drawing his sword just in case.

Salmook: he slows down as Resh draws his sword. maybe that wasn't the right question to ask. he fidgets with the toy he stole from Rhiv's pocket. it's Salmook's, actually, but Rhiv holds it sometimes. "I… I, uh, hope not either…"

Rhiv: did… did he hear that right? cultists? he'll have to ask about that later. for now, he notices that Salmook is on edge again - and Resh, too. figures. there's tension in the air, and Rhiv is missing too many details. he speeds up, keeping pace with Salmook.

Tseth: His pace falters slightly at the mention of the cultists, but he quickly regains it. They could deal with the cultists again. They weren't that difficult once he wasn't tied down.

Alex: He slows his pace to walk next to Tseth. He takes out a knife, of which the hilt looks to be made of bone, and starts messing with it absentmindedly.

Resh: He looks at Salmook after drawing his sword, suddenly looking panicked. “Shit- uh-“ He quickly sheathes his sword, looking back down at Salmook. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you- that was just a precaution. In case we run into them again.” He looks extremely guilty, and his hand gestures were a little frantic as he spoke.

(New headcanon Resh gestures a lot when he talks)

Salmook: he gives a weak smile. "Y- yeah. Thank you, Resh, sir."

Rhiv: right then. definitely an issue. he reaches down to his belt and pulls out his hatchet. he'd prefer his regular axe instead, but this will do. there's a bow and a few arrows tucked somewhere his cloak if he's desperate. "Tell me about these… cultists."
it's a request open to anyone who bothered to listen, but Rhiv's gaze drifts down to Salmook.

Tseth: He looks at Rhiv for a moment. "We had to kill some kind of forest guardian. A bit later, Resh found a dead body in the forest. The person who killed that person followed Resh back to where we were staying, and ran when I saw them. I followed them, got captured, and after a while most everyone went to find me. They did, and then we killed all of the cultists there." He looks oddly calm as he says all of this, especially considering what he just said.

Alex: "You and Resh killed them all, to be accurate." He looks up at Tseth, sheathing his knife again.

Tseth: He shrugs. "That wasn't an important detail."

Resh: He looks at the others for a while, before going back to mumbling and gesturing to himself.
Parvus: He stirs slightly in his sleep, his legs and tail twitching. He chitters angrily at something.

Rhiv: he takes a moment to consider this. Tseth is oddly… nonchalant. perhaps he's used to such violence? his expression towards Salmook becomes a bit more suspicious. surely he didn't..? Rhiv almost bursts out laughing at the thought - of course Salmook wouldn't have fought. he looks over his shoulder at Tseth and Alex.
"…And you're sure you got all of them? No backup camps, nobody in hiding..? All of them? Really?"

Salmook: he flinches as Parvus starts making noise. before he can even say anything, Rhiv is already in front of him, squeezing Salmook's hand. uh-oh.

Tseth: He thinks for a moment, before speaking. "We only took out one camp, and it seems the leader was in that one. I didn't see any sign of other camps when I was flying over the forest. But, that doesn't mean anything. There might be ones in hiding, and there might be more camps." But let's hope there isn't. If there's going to be something else happening today, he'd accept almost anything but more cultists.

Resh: He seems to be ignoring everyone, lost in his own thoughts and running on autopilot.
Parvus: He goes still and starts growling at something, still asleep.

Rhiv: he tilts his head, wary but confused. "Does the scaly rat-thing always make noise like this?" he tenses a little more, pulling Salmook close. "Is… is that supposed to mean something?" he SHOULD be able to understand Parvus - but he can't. it's like listening to someone scream underwater during a storm. Rhiv can't make any sense of it.

_{(forgot to mention that Rhiv can talk to animals and stuff, but different world different rules so screw him-)}

Tseth: He raises an eyebrow at Rhiv. "He's just chasing something in his sleep. He's fine." He looks down at Parvus for a moment, watching him.

Parvus: His growls die down and he nestles a little closer to Tseth, making odd purring noises.
Juni: She looks over at Tseth and Parvus and makes a little “awww” sound, smiling.

Rhiv: he seems just as disturbed by Parvus as Salmook is, although for different reasons. why can't he understand the thing? he shakes it off, loosening his grip on Salmook. "Better safe than sorry… you've tamed that thing?"

Salmook: he shrugs in response to his pater. he's not really sure either, and he's been here longer. Rhiv quickens his pace, and Salmook hurries to keep up. maybe some small talk would help? "What do you think we'll find outside of the forest?" he'd like to believe that once they escape the forest, they'll be right at home - but even Salmook knows that's too good to be true. he slumps.

Tseth: He smiles a little at Parvus, before looking up at Rhiv. He shakes his head. "No, just made friends with Parvus. A wild creature doesn't need to be tamed, just understood."

Alex: He looks over to Salmook. "Back home the Forest connected to Prairie and the Snowy mountains… but that doesn't mean much here."
