Dashing through brush and following the footsteps of his kinsmen, Tsku kept his pace quick but slow enough to remain behind the others. They had been running for so long now that time had seemed to melt away, lose meaning, as their very lives were on the line. As it was, every second already felt like an eternity. But Tsku slowed his pace so that even if their attackers should catch up to them, he would stand and fight, hold them back for as long as he could so that his tribe could escape and survive.

Nothing did attack, but they were still out in the open, defenseless and without shelter, food, or medicine. It would only be a matter of time until they were found again. It was beginning to seem like they were only delaying the inevitable, yet Tsku was not one to ever put forth less effort than he could. He would go on with full strength for the opportunity to survive, even if the chances were he'd die by the end of the day.

And they continued with good reason. Soon there was an opening in the dense brush and a cave came into view. Tsku knew other goblins might live around these lands somewhere, and potentially be dangerous, but he could not be more content to see fellow goblin faces right now.
 
	 [color=39b54a]"I think we should give them a change. Sure they could be planning something, but we need new members to make up, not replace, those we lost. And honestly while I won't claim it for myself I'm curious about that book. [/color]

	[color=A9A9A9]"I agree, from the looks of it they have nowhere to go and are roughed up to say the least. And I am also curious about that book. Although I would want it to be a shared item among all of those who live here. I am going to go say hi. If you want come with me and say hi.[/color]

	That in mind Lomen walked forward, brushing his hands that still had some dirt on it from burying his brother earlier. Standing up as normal Lomen went out to them and offered his hand.

	[color=A9A9A9]"Hello. My name is Lomen. I would like to say that I am for bringing you all into the clan. Also is that some of us would be interested in what is contained inside the book. But for the moment I am honored to meet you all. What are your names?" [/color]

	Lomen offered his hand out to shake. He wasn't sure why, but he felt like they may be able to open up if they had some mutual trust  with him. That and he felt that if at least one was willing to give a good handshake than it would set his mind a bit at ease.

Tsku watched the goblin Lomen introduce himself, being the last to appear. As Kalista introduced herself but did not take Lomen's hand, Tsku acknowledged the offer of trust and decided to step forward beside Kalista and take Lomen's hand himself.

[color=662d91]"Thank you for fast and kind welcome."[/color] Tsku shook Lomen's hand firmly, not wishing to offend him at all.

[color=00a651][color=662d91]"I am Tsku of the Mountain. We are exhausted from battle, forgive our condition. We would be happy to share book with you after treating wounds and taking moment to rest."[/color][/color]
