Alm gave a little sigh as Pox attempted to steal a taste of the stew. But Alm didn't mind much as there was enough to go around and he had a lot more work to do before the food would be ready. "[color=00aeef][b]The claws aren't to bad at least those are easy to keep in your field of view[/b][/color]" Alm added to Yui's comment, "[color=00aeef][b]It's that tail you have to worry about, almost seems to come out of nowhere and has a lot of power behind it.[/b][/color]" He said projecting a bit of his own dislike for the creature out for the others to comment on. "[color=00aeef][b]But if you're fast enough their face is squishy and one good hit is all you need to take the beast down. That or a good heavy hammer to crush the carcass.[/b][/color]" He finished thinking back to a few of his "near misses" when it came to the Scorpions.

Stephan ignored Yui's comment and gesture for the most part especially when it seemed that Pox and Allant were up to take his bet. But his face quickly changed when Pox offered the Sword and Allant put up his gems. "[color=f7976a][b]Now you two are no fun. You want me to go find a vendor to pawn that stuff off myself? Sorry but I only deal in coin, if you can't cover the bet then I'll just have Jing take it from your pay.[/b][/color]" He said in a snobbish tone. "[color=7bcdc8][b]Or you can just call off the bet if you don't like their collateral. I won't dock their pay just because you say.[/b][/color]" Jing quickly called Stephan's bluff. With a huff Stephan turned away taking another bite of his apple walking off to another part of the camp. He soon came up to Nanami, "[color=f7976a][b]So how is the desert treating our little princess?[/b][/color]" He asked strangely giving off a vibe that he actually cared under his smug delivery of the line.

 With Jenramo's help the preparations for dinner were cut in half and it wasn't to much longer until food was served. Luckily enough the sun was starting to set and the Desert was starting to cool down. Alm started to poor the soup into bowls and with Jenramo's help handed out the food to the others. Alm brought a bowl to Octavia handing it to the girl. "[color=00aeef][b]Here eat up you'll get your strength back, this desert can be a killer, especially on your first few runs.[/b][/color]" He said with a smile, "[color=00aeef][b]I'm Alm by the way, I know Jing did his introductions but we really haven't gotten a chance to meet yet.[/b][/color]" He continued and ended up sitting down on a nearby rock. "[color=00aeef][b]So tell me about yourself, What brings you to our little family?[/b][/color]" He asked her while starting to eat his own stew.

As the group sat and ate Jing looked over at Allant, "[color=7bcdc8][b]Hey Allant after you finish take Yui with you and go take over watch from Shion and Gwen. Sybille, Jenramo you two will have the watch after that.[/b][/color]" He said in a tone that seemed to be nicely asking, but it was clearly an order, "[color=7bcdc8][b]We haven't seen many Orcs around this trip and I have a bad feeling about it. Keep your eyes sharp everyone.[/b][/color]" He added before going back to eating. Soon enough Jing had broke into his wine sack again and could be found sitting around the camp fire telling tales of old well into the night.
