Aya shook her head. "Don't be sorry! It's a hard environment to get used to, but just give it a few weeks and you'll be stalking through the woods like a pro."

She joined him at the hilltop just a few moments later, enjoying the view that it offered over the forest. You could see the river slinking across the land, carving the border between the two camp territories like an unspoken sign of their division.

"There are people here who like fighting. There are people who just like the forest and our way of life. Unfortunately, anytime a Brom and a Rabin meet on that river bank blood is usually spilt. It's not raiding... More just skirmishes." Aya sighed. "Too many people have died from such attacks."

"I think I've got a good idea of what's where now. Thanks for bringing me up here. You mentioned you needed to gather medicinal herbs, right?"

Brick stood atop the hill and looked out over the area. It was a rather nice view, and he noticed a faint pillar of smoke rising from another spot further beyond the center river - most likely the Broms' camp.

"I'm guessing any time a fight starts, both parties blame the other. Do the Broms ever come to our side of the river?"

He paused for a moment, remembering that they did, indeed, cross the river. They had done so the instant he stepped into the woods. But he allowed Aya to answer anyway.

"Yep, you're right!" Aya nodded, remembering why she'd wanted to go out in the first place. She began heading down the hill, hoping that Brick had gotten enough of a sense of the land. "There's a clearing just down this side of the hill with some bushes I'll be able to use."
She huffed at the thought of the Broms on their side of the river. "You bet they do. If they could just stay on their side..." she felt a slight twinge of disappointment in herself. Really there was no reason why they shouldn't be able to share, but either way border respect was the best way to keep everyone safe. "Just try not to go on their side, okay?"

Misha smiled crookedly, patting his shoulder. "That's sweet. You really are still human." She considered his words and clenched her fists. "You know, if that guy ever finds you, I'll kick his ass. I'll straight up take him down. I'll protect you."

[she's like 5'2" and maybe 110 pounds rip misha too much rage for your tiny body]


Destin smiles at the pat and chuckles. "I actually do think most of us are. Not Fabine. He's 100% robot, trust me on that." He then sighs heavily. "Yeah well...good luck. He's got a gun. I wouldn't want you getting hurt or killed just to protect me.." He looks at her then shakes his head. "okay! So what next!"

Brick decided that he would try to remember which plants were which as he and Aya made their way down the hill to the clearing in question. He expected he'd be away from the camp a lot, so there was no reason not to gather what he could (without hurting the plants, of course). Of course, he had no idea how to use anything of that sort, but every little bit might help.

"I wonder why they cross the river. Looking for a fight, perhaps?" Brick shook his head in annoyance. These kids were sounding like wannabe high school 'gangs', screaming for attention.

There was sense in her request, but he felt it might not be quite so simple as that - though that might just be his thirst for adventure and heroism speaking to him. "I won't cross the river unless I have a good reason for it."

@Fionraella Misha shrugged. "Not sure. I don't have much to do, other than pester somebody to help me do manual labor." She yawned, leaning her palms on her knees. "That and curl up and take a nap."

Destin rolls his eyes. "No napping for you. I'm sure as heck not going to be napping. I gotta get cleaned up, check on what things I need more of...reorganize my tent again." He groans, thinking of all he had to do. "Seriously wish I had more help. More healers..anything really" He huffs softly.

@Fionraella Misha gave a look of exaggerated sympathy. "Maybe you should build a robot to help you. Maybe you could.. um.. kidnap a doctor." She shrugged. "I'm running out of ideas."

"Kidnap someone!" Destin gasps, thinking she was serious. He crosses his arms at her. "You are a horrible person Misha! How dare you!" He shakes his head, walking towards his tent. "Come with me! You can help me now!" He orders, trying to look authoritative, but just looking super silly.

@Fionraella Misha laughed and scurried after him. "Oh, yes. We can go into town, sneak into some rich guy's home... and snag him." She made a grabbing motion. "Maybe if he fears for his life, he'll have better work ethic than me."

"You're horrible. What if he has a family? A kid! You would take some guy away from his family." Destin shakes his head as he goes into his tent, and instantly coughing as he enters. "Oh, no!" He hurries back into the herb stores, before stumbling back at the stench. "Misha...This is really ,really bad."

@Fionraella Misha's brilliant iceberg eyes glinted in faint abandon, reflecting off of the dying light of the fall... season. Her eyebrows jiggled. She ran delicate fingers through the matted hair, glimmering from grease and sweat and stuff. The wind punched her in the neck, metaphorically speaking.
[HAPPY NOW??]
She kept her distance, narrowing her eyes at his look of horror. "What is it?"

Destin steps back, his eyes clouding over. "My entire herb stash is destroyed..." He looks sadly into his tent "Most of them were going to be for use over winter.." Biting his lip, he looks at Misha in panic. "What are we going to do?"

@Fionraella Misha held her hands in front of her in an attempt at a calming gesture. She narrowed her eyes and peered inside the tent. "Ok, ok, ok..." she mumbled, trying to stall before he reached full panic mode - though she assumed he was already pretty much there. She cleared her throat and straightened her spine. Gotta look like I have a handle on this. Gotta seem like I know what I'm talking about. "First of all, we need to figure out what happened." She looked around, a bit frantic. "So, uh.. What do you think happened?"

Destin looks at her with wide eyes before rushing into the tent "I have to find something to save!" He says, covering his nose and mouth with a handy dandy handkerchief. He heads into the herb stores and begins tossing them out. All were black and emitting a small amount of smoke, obivously burned. Somehow. He whimpers as he walks out a short bit later to get a breath. "There's nothing left."

@Fionraella Misha's eyes widened. She dropped to her knees with a soft plop and pawed through the burnt remains of the herb store. What the hell? she thought, her face turning to a scowl. She raised her head to look at Destin, who looked a little like he was about to faint from where she sat. "Did someone do this?" she hissed, trying to steady her voice against the emotion building inside of her.

Destin's eyes well with tears. "They're all burnt..." He whispers, taking a staggering step back. "Without...without any of the herbs...I...I cant help!" He turns and runs from the tent. He shifts mid-run and bolts out of camp, heart pounding. No point in being near people he couldn't save...

Misha stood up and threw her hands into the air. "Destin!" she yelled, then cursed herself. She took a deep breath in and broke into a run after him. She struggled to keep a hold on the rage and accusations she was so tempted to submit to, but if Destin - the reasonable one - wasn't being reasonable, she wasn't going to be reasonable, either. She launched herself through the woods after him, ignoring the branches that slapped her as she weaved through them.

Destin, being completely unreasonable runs towards the river. He HAD to see if Aya was there. He didn't give a flying hoot anymore if he got punished. He needed someone, anyone, to talk to. Someone who understood his struggle. Understood how hopeless he felt, how he knew everyone was going to die. And it was his fault. His fault those herbs burned.

Destin looks away, listening to her words. He then flinches and looks back at her sadly. "Is that what happened to you? did you get hurt? Or have to hurt someone for the good of the group?" He flicks a piece of mud off his arm. "Aya is my friend. We don't 'love' each other as you put it." He shakes his head. "We'll make it work. Friends between groups are possible..."

Amelia huffs at his comment. "So you'd be rude and eat the whole deer? Rude!" She then nods as the walk into the camp. "Should we skin it and begin smoking or wait for Sacha to see what she wants to do with it?" Amelia was excited so see how much meat they could get off the deer.


Did she just call him rude? Grant's eyebrow shot up in mild irritation, but he just sighed through his nose and dropped the deer onto the prey pile, "We should probably ask Sasha would she would like us to do. I wonder if she is around camp." He placed a hand on his right shoulder and rolled his neck, trying to work out the pain from carrying the deer earlier. He would defiantly feel that one in the morning.
