Smor'Gen'Blok, The Wor Hearthsite - 10:16 AM[/center]

	Hi'Wor glanced at Za'Kul while Ju'Kul caught his breath. He stepped past the larger Lok'Sha, and got right in Za'Kul's face.

	"Ok, we [i]bargain.[/i]" Hi'Wor took a step back, motioned towards his chest with his knuckled and pouted sarcastically. "Wor want [i]slaves.[/i]" Then he pointed to Za'Kul with his thumbs bent inwards. "Kul have [i]slaves.[/i]" Then he pointed to himself for a moment. "Wor," He spun around and stretched his arms out at the men behind him. Then he spun his head towards Za'Kul again and leaned in close. "Wor stronger than Kul. Kul a [b]disgrace.[/b] Wor [i]kind enough[/i] to not wipe out pitiful [i]dark skins[/i], in exchange for slaves!" He paused and offered the Kul tribesmen a wry smile. Ju'Kul's lip quivered with an uncommon anger. "What Kul say? What counter offer?"

	Za'Kul's pride was truly [i]titanic.[/i] But perhaps, those who value their pride above all else could be [i]baited[/i] just as easily as those they attempted to lure out.

	"Well? What say?"

Kel, Marvis Astorian's Manor[/center]

	Marvis was compelled. It was hard to explain - he couldn't even manage a thought of his own - and even harder to [i]deny.[/i] He looked to his cousin and nodded without a second thought, but said nothing. He was willing to offer her his ear for the time being. But despite that, there was a feeling buried deep in the pit of his mind telling him to [i]kick her our then and there.[/i]

	Of course, against his better judgement, Marvin was forced to ignore it.

Kel, The Whispering Cove[/center]

	Finnick was [i]finicking[/i] with a little bobble with his head bent forward, [i]his usual state of existence.[/i] Vetch didn't quite catch his attention right away. Not even after a few seconds of waiting with his imposing stature towering high over the little handicapped Eldi. But he looked up once as Vetch spoke. Then he looked up again. He locked eyes with Vetch for a few seconds before returning to his little bobble.

	"M'lady too prissy teh' com'in 'erself?" He grunted, "Seems I 'aven't seen 'er in 'eh long while!"
