The halfbeasts ears flicked at the arrival of the Anubite, frowning briefly, and turning to examine her, gazing at the large ears. [color=#add8e6][i]Hmm, another sort of halfbeast, I see... So she wishes to join us.[/i][/color] Aloud, she simply nodded, and stated calmly [color=#add8e6]"I have no issue with adding another to our team, although the more we add, the less ideal heading to the north becomes... more to keep warm, more to feed, particularly considering that while both myself and Avala are quite experienced with the harsh lands, there is not much food to be had in the wild, particularly to feed five, and one of Avala's size, as well."[/color]

She shook her head, before letting out a soft sigh, and nodding once more to Victoria. [color=#add8e6]"I must agree there. While we seem to be well equipped in terms of clothes, money for taking on the journey would be quite useful."[/color] 

A look to Avala, and a contemplative gaze. [color=#add8e6]"I imagine you're more experienced with the calculations of having to regularly eat up north... how likely would we be to continue to find food as we traveled, assuming this artifact ventures into the wastelands? I can't imagine it's very likely... between keeping all of us warm, and feeding all of us... such a trek would be quite dangerous."[/color]
