While he had been mostly preoccupied with his thought on the possible biology and behaviour of the tatzelwurms that inhabited the nearby forest, Duram noticed the poor condition of the village. Though he supposed that it was rather homey to the rough and tumble orcs that built it, managing to survive and seemingly thrive despite the primitive supplies. It was only reinforced by the behaviour of its inhabitants, the grunts being especially bothersome. It wasn't even an active decision to completely ignore Builge and his school yard taunts, as he continued on beyond the palisades.

The land outside of the camp was nearly indescribable in its beauty. With clear skies and lush foliage not to far off, only to be offset by the majestic if dramatic mountainside. Though Duram didn't have much time to enjoy the scenery before being faced with the consequences of his impulsive decision to sing. Accepting the fist bump, he was rather taken aback by not only the confirmation that Agar, or rather Johnathan, was also brought to this world after passing but also his blunt manner.  

[color=thistle]"Alexei,"[/color] He said while scratching the back of his head. [color=thistle]"Well I guess its Duram now. 25 amateur zoologist and animal behaviourist from Colorado. I was shot at work."[/color] While most was said with a smile, he couldn't help but rub his chest as he mentioned his death, phantom pain flaring up sharply at the memory. Even so, the young orc understood the wisdom in Agar's words.

[color=thistle]"We should keep an eye ou-"[/color] The rest of his word were swallowed by the loud crack of a tree branch and before he could think about it, his body was turning in the direction of the sound. Thankfully Agar had a similar thought and motioned toward the disturbed birds. 

[color=thistle]"Other than checking that out? I was hoping to study some of the creatures here. Might be easier to hunt, if we know how they behave." Was the last thing he said before quickly making his way toward the action.[/color]
