The sight of the older man actually eating a slice of raw and possibly rotting meat was enough for Adam to make an expression of disgust. How that seemed like a good idea was beyond him and the notion was quickly dismissed. Instead he turned to glance at the elf that had approached and raised an eyebrow at her comment. [color=f26522]“Doubt it, even if they’ve got better ears like you apparently. Voices don’t travel th-” [/color]

Stumbling a bit in surprise as something bumped into Marcus beside him, he spun around as he planted a foot behind to steady himself and blinked a few times in surprise. This… was probably the most dramatic change out of the six that had gathered. He spared a moment to glance towards the elf at her remark, but anything more would have been pointless. 

Straightening out his posture, Adam took a few steps away from the lamia, or whatever, just to be safe from her tail. The mass of muscle would probably have no problem sweeping his legs out from underneath him even if it was purely on accident. As for Marcus’ suggestion, it wasn’t like there was any other real choice for the six of them. Surviving out here would be damn impossible even if one of them had somehow scrounged up a corpse of questionable quality.[color=f7941d] “It’s not like we have a choice, we aren’t going to last long here. Assuming the sun still rises from the east and sets in the west,”[/color] he gestured at the rising sun to his back, [color=f7941d]“that’s probably the direction I’ll be going in. If any of you want to follow along, feel free to. Name’s Adam once more, for those that missed the first two times.”[/color]

He spared a moment to readjust the clothes he'd been left in this world with, tightening his boots and undoing the leather jerkin so as to hold it instead. While it wasn't terribly hot yet, the additional layer would probably be problematic once the sun really started to heat things up. He figured that was long enough for the others to decide if they wanted to follow along, so Adam turned around and marched off at a brisk pace without another word. There was nought but grass until the horizon and no telling how far the plains would extend past them; every minute was precious until a water source could be found.
