His eyes weren't trained to spot things of any particular note, and he had no experience utilizing his vast - if scattered - knowledge in practice. Worse, most everything he saw was new to him in some regard, having travelled little and allowed to see even less. So while the others were busily applying their skills to various situations they faced, I'Rajith was committing to memory a bug he'd yet to see or picking up another piece of droughted earth for closer inspection. Arguably, his familiar - a black cat by the name of E'Nya - was more useful than him. At the very least, she managed to catch a mouse every now and again before it could reach their belongings at night. It was E'Nya, perking up and chattering at the sight of a bird, that eventually directed I'Rajith's attention to a nearby hill, just in time to hear it hoisted a grave. His interest piqued, but did not linger - soon enough, it was stolen by the prospect of river pirates, approaching at a steady pace. Fran suggested they take shelter in the tomb and pursue the pirates once they passed. [color=#8990c7]"Pirates, too, must make a living." [/color]I'Rajith spoke as if by reflex, though his tone remained calm, devoid of urgency or conviction. He spoke it as nothing but a fact, one taught to him by parents who made their living on illegal coin.[color=#8990c7] "Those long dead do not. If profit is what you seek, you should find it well enough within the burial mound."[/color] He pet his familiar, who'd lost interest in the mound upon the departure of the bird.[color=#8990c7] "Must our path collide with the pirates, I've the means to move about unseen - or bestow such prowess upon another, if temporarily. The skill to be unheard, however; that I cannot pass on. That is mine alone." [/color] His gaze trailed to the Zephyrite; small, nimble, one with the wind. He didn't know if she shared his past of skulking, but she certainly had the potential to do so. [color=#8990c7]"But I do believe another among us might possess such skill yet."[/color] [/color]
