After the organics who knew one another exchanged some dialog, Remilia remembered her present company and graciously introduced Lewa to the newcomers, offering them his own name in kind. The toa bowed his head, her polite gesture very much appreciated. He didn't extend his hand to shake, since the practice didn't exist among his people, and he didn't offer a fist bump since he reserved such camaraderie for his brothers and sister, but he nevertheless tried to return her politeness in kind. "Friends of Remilia's are friends of mine."

With its numbers bolstered by the new arrivals, the group could continue traipsing through the woods in search of problems and solutions alike. Though he couldn't possibly know what he or the others might find out here, Lewa kept his guard up and a sharp eye out. The culprit behind the wounded earthmane boar's piteous condition could be near, and whatever could inflict such grievous injury on such a majestic beast could definitely threaten the beleaguered villagers, if not the members of this posse themselves. Lewa did not know just how right he was, however, until the group discovered another boar. This one turned out to be not only dead, but also savagely mauled and left in an grotesquely advanced state of decomposition. Though unfamiliar with this world's biology, Lewa thought that this looked like a clear sign of predation. "We may be getting closer to the real problem," he hypothesized, not aware that the timeframe of decay meant that the predator could already be long gone. That made the question of what it was more important, and if Youmou had no idea, how could he?
