As Nara and Kessig spoke, Iva simply watched idly, in her usual bored manner. Well, she could at least understand the mans wariness. Two strangers coming and waltzing down a mountain that just had some sort of odd event on it, asking for directions? That was the definition of suspicious. If she was on his end, she'd have just ignored the person and told them to get lost. Even more so, was the fact he was certainly right. Only devils seemed to come down from that mountain, heh.

As Nara attempted negotiating further, Iva looked around at the villagers, wandering a few steps away from Kessing and her friend. The looked absolutely pitiful. Scars, missing limbs, withered and disheveled faces...no children. Well, better that way. Kids were annoying. More importantly...she was beginning to feel a little...curious. A little peckish. Like she hadn't eaten in awhile. Understandable, considering that she had no idea how long they traveled. Bringing a hand up to her mouth, she lightly bit the flesh of her knuckle unconsciously.

The woman with the wooden crutch...looked mildly intelligent. A little lean and dry. Lame leg, probably tough. Short, but well built man was probably better, even if she got less. Kessig, though...he looked the juiciest. Not physically speaking, but rather mentally. Older, perfectly aged like wine and ripe with life experience and knowledge. The people of the village wouldn't be able to see it, but a single, invisible hand began extending towards Kessing, hovering just above his head. Just a little closer and - 

[i][color=gray]"Wait here a moment."[/color][/i]

The hand reaching for his head stopped, instantly retreating back to her...what had she been doing?

She blinked, having momentarily blanked on her own actions. She cast a glance over to Nara as Kessig went inside of his hut. Ah...did she almost just really do that? In front of everyone? Hoo, she didn't think any of them would be a problem, but it was still...a little frightening. She moved closer back to Nara as Kessig exited the house two items in hand, making sure to put some distance between herself and the villagers. Once Nara and the human finished exchanging good byes and items, the Brain Eater watched him leave before casting a sideways glance towards the edge of town.

[color=teal]"Hmm...others."[/color] Iva quietly spoke. She could feel them, but she couldn't get a good read on them. Perhaps...were they the same, then? Ah, she didn't care now. She had Nara and a direction to travel in, and that was enough. [color=teal]"Nara...we should find food while we're out."[/color]

Hopefully Nara would know what that meant.
