[color=0076a3][h3][center]~Eirwen Soyala~[/center][/h3][/color] Eirwen bit into the apple she had pilfered, taking a small glance over at Tamia. She seemed rather...down. Hmm...that was no good. She couldn't have her things not be working as best as they could. She should try cheering Tamia up a bit, then, but later. She was mildly surprised to find it tasted fairly good. Must have been something grown in a well off farm. If all of their provisions were like this, then she might actually find this trip somewhat enjoyable. she eagerly bit into the apple again, perhaps getting a little carried away, but she couldn't help it sometimes. This...thing, this [i]curse[/i] ensured that she was hungry more often than not. But well, it was something she had been living with since she was a little girl. Nothing she couldn't handle. Before she knew it, she had already eaten most of the apple. A slight frown formed on her lips as she tossed the core of it off of the cart. She made a move to grab another apple from the barrel, but her actions were interrupted by someone talking. [i][color=green]"Who's a good kitty?"[/color][/i] She turned her head towards the sound of the voice, and saw something that made her just a tad bit angry. A woman, was petting [i]her[/i] slave. [i]Her[/i] little toy. Without [i]her[/i] permission. A scowl formed on her face as she watched the unknown woman meddle. Tamia was [i]hers[/i], and she definitely didn't like it when someone touched her things without permission. Last time someone tried something like that, they ended up frozen to the floor in her room for whole day, and they were lucky her sister convinced her to release them, otherwise they'd probably still be there. [i][color=0076a3]"...tolerate them, Eirwen."[/color][/i] She told herself, hands tightening around a second apple. [i][color=0076a3]"She will be useful as a decoy..."[/color][/i] Collecting composure, she looked at the woman with a neutral expression. [color=0076a3]"I suggest you stop touching [i]my[/i] slave before I do something everyone here will regret."[/color] Eirwen commanded coldly. [color=a0410d][h3][center]~Amelia Xylander~[/center][/h3][/color] [color=00aeef]"Maybe a granite golem that shape-shifts into a shadow frog, or the other way around! That would be great, right?!"[/color] [color=a0410d]"Oh don't be silly Sable! A granite golem would never want to become something so squishy!"[/color] Amelia replied with a light chuckle. At the mention of a rock though, she quickly hopped over to her fox friend, quickly taking a look at the rock. It was indeed lignite from what she could tell at a glance, but who knows! It might be something different. She couldn't fault Sable for wanting to keep it. It might be the key to some ancient long-lost device or something!~ As Sable went and observed the others, Amelia did the opposite. She observed the landscape around them, namely casting her eyes towards the forest. She had taken several trips to the edge of it, and had so far not befallen any misfortune at the hands of some beasts, but she wasn't a complete fool. She knew it was dangerous, she just didn't care! As long as someone took the proper safety precautions they would be fine. Traversing the forest was a different story, though. She had attempted to go in every now and then, but found it quite difficult. Aside from the wildlife, the deeper you went in the thicker the trees grew together. It got so bad it almost looked like evening. She wasn't sure if there was any way they would be able to get the wagons through....not without [i]making[/i] a path. But they'd see later, she supposed. Instead, she turned her attention back to Okori. [color=a0410d]"OOh, who knows! Maybe some long-lost civilization! Maybe an ancient sentient golem! Some rock I haven't seen before! Ooh, some obsidian would be [i]lovely[/i]!"[/color]
