"Hee hee, this expedition's just a good one, that's all," Afki said, receiving her share of the treasure. She did find it odd that there were no creatures in sight. The scout's report only heightened her growing concern. Afki's experience told her that if something was this far out of the norm, unexplored area or no, there was something wrong with the situation. She unstrung her bow and placed it in her quiver; if there was something truly dangerous, then a normal weapon wouldn't cut it. She unsheathed her swords at her hips, flipping one over to use her battle-ready style: left blade with a reverse grip and right blade in a standard grip. Her expression grew serious, and she responded to Teleus, "[color=f7976a]Sure, but let's stay alert. We don't know what we'll find here.[/color]" 

[i][color=6ecff6]Well now, you don't write, you don't call... I was beginning to think you'd forgotten about me,[/color][/i] a familiar voice rang in her head. Of course, it was her ever-trusty partner, Parshath. The two blades in her hands were more than mere weapons; they were a sentient being who had bonded with her. Ever since their fateful encounter, the two had become inseparable, and she was reassured to have his power in this unsettling event. While she didn't always understand the sayings Parshath used, she knew he was only concerned for her wellbeing. 

[i][color=f7976a]Sorry about that, Parshath, but things got a little boring. Hardly worth your time,[/color][/i] Afki responded in her mind. 

[i][color=6ecff6]Yeah, no kidding. No mobs in sight for several days in a row? In a place like this? Not likely. Somethin's up.[/color][/i] Parshath said, on edge.

[i][color=f7976a]I thought the same thing,[/color][/i] Afki said. [i][color=f7976a]Never hurts to be too careful.[/color][/i]
