Thanox nodded as the kitsune introduced herself and stuck out her hand towards him. It was a strange gesture that he hadn’t seen until he left his homeland and traveled through other settlements, but he understood that it was used as a sign of friendship. He extended one of his upper arms and grasped her hand, slowly moving it up and down as he had seen others do. It seemed to please her and she walked off with the box, asking if his people used four swords. He was actually glad that someone was interested in his people, and in their fighting styles. At first he had not guessed that she was a warrior, but looking now she did seem to carry herself like a fighter would.

“Yes, there are some of our warriors who use four swords, although it is difficult to master so not many do so. The ones that do are usually elites and are either tasked with guarding the queen or are given important missions during war.” Thanox explained as they exited the ship. It was nice to have someone to talk to, normally he enjoyed being alone but being completely cut off from his people was not as easy as he first thought.

While Yukine walked back into the ship, Thanox noticed another of the survivors, Turk, had managed to catch a few fish and seemed to be enjoying one now. “Food will be important, but so will water.” Thanox said as he turned to ocean. He didn’t like it, back home water was rare and valuable, and it saved lives, but this water was abundant and yet was not safe to drink. It was almost funny in a strange way. 

He shook his head as he walked back into the remains of the ship. A few others had already moved farther inland, so hopefully they had found something, and if not they could always search again tomorrow. For now they still needed to finish checking the ship, although they seemed to have covered most of it already. He ignored the others as they seemed concerned with a snake, he knew they could handle it so he moved farther into the ship.
