But the world rarely ever bothered to explain it's functions to the likes of Ntaj. Things just happened, and Ntaj would just have to learn to accept it. Lowering his guard Ntaj was going to get something to eat when Cyneburg spoke. She said a lot of things and a few words were kinda hard to understand, but he understood the gist of it anyways. The Orcish Chief wants them to broker a peace deal with the people of Salarn. However as insurance they want one of the party members here, to make sure they won't simply run off. Ntaj was uncomfortably quiet; he wasn't going to admit that he wasn't going to volunteer. But frankly he didn't know this group [i]that[/i] well that he'd stay behind with other orcs for them. And honestly, if another group arrived who had a more define purpose and an open slot, Ntaj might join them. But even with that in mind, this was the cards dealt to Ntaj. Like it or not, he was with this group if he wanted to survive. Oh sure, he could forage and hunt for himself too. Basic needs would be easily accommodate for him. But this whole business with zombies and the war between the orcs and humans, that was a bit beyond Ntaj's skill level. Sure he could try and kill them all, but that was easier said then done. And while trying to organize peace with orcs and humans at war was hard, it was easier than the alternative. That being said, Cyneburg volunteering to stay behind did bother Ntaj. For one, she was the only person in the group (As far as Ntaj knows anyways) that could speak orcish, though if need be Ntaj could always try and speak Elvish with Calanon. Point being that without her, long or quick conversations would fly over Ntaj's head. But he understood why she needed to stay, but he still didn't like it. Part of him, an admittedly masochistic part he grew up with, also didn't like the idea of leaving a woman behind. Of course, if he actually knew Cyneburg or had feelings for her maybe he would have spoken up. But she was merely another half-orc whom Ntaj has had a decent conversation with. Not exactly the makings of a budding romance. And of course he knew that Cyneburg wasn't his woman anyways, and she could do whatever she damn well pleases with herself. That was a habit that Ntaj had to learn to deal with one he left home, and dealing with all these strong independent women who don't need a man. Of course all that tension was eased when Cyneburg's stomach growled. A smile grew on Ntaj's face as he went to get the both of them some grub. [color=a2d39c]"Ntaj get us food. Ntaj also agree with Cyneburg plan, though Ntaj don't like it. But Ntaj don't like lots things, so no worry. Cyneburg strong, but only one Cyneburg against horde."[/color] Not that having two or three more would have made that much of a difference, but those were simply Ntaj's thoughts on the matter. Either they all go or they don't. But again, Cyneburg was her own woman. If she chose to stay than Ntaj would not stop her. It just meant that he'll have to do his part and try to work with this group the best he could. However dysfunctional they may be. With his introspections complete Ntaj went over to the campfire and grabbed some food for himself and Cyneburg, going through his bag to get some tin plates and cutlery.
