[center][color=306EFF][h1][u]V[/u]ola[/h1][/color][/center] [hr] [b]Current Location[/b]: Forests [b]Current Activity[/b]: Helping Gren [@Lucius Cypher] cook and craft, interacting with Akeno [@King Cosmos], Grunthor [@Kazemitsu], Esfir [@ERode] and Lazash [@Crusader Lord]. [hr] As they entered the clearing Vola made sure to stick somewhat close to Gren’s side, especially at the sight of four other runts gathered there. Are they friend or foe? Would they attack to try to get more meat? Would she and Gren be able to outrun them if they did? Gah! Why is this so nerve-wrecking? It was simpler with Gren, for one, it was just one other person to interact with and he seemed genuinely nice as well, but these four are total unknowns and before she could think twice about it, Vola slipped into her old behaviour of staying quiet and trying to appear insignificant. You can get a lot of information about others by staying still until they forget that you’re there and in this case, it could lead to them underestimating her which might be useful if a fight breaks out. Thankfully, peace seemed to reign for now, and Vola gave them a small smile and a nod in thanks for the permission to use their leftover fire and nodded along in agreement when Gren suggested a team-up while she carried the supplies over to the fire. There is strength in numbers after all, and strength is something that they will sorely need in this world with all of its dangers, so she wont object as long as they are amenable. Which… they [i]sorta[/i] seemed to be? Some of them seemed to consider it and the one that Vola assumes to be the leader didn’t outright warn them off, though it was clear that she wasn’t willing to wait for them, which Vola can understand. This group already had a working dynamic, who knows what effect two outsiders will have? Gren was quite eloquent as he made his case though, much more so than Vola would have been. She might have been good in front of a classroom before her death, but there is a large difference between teaching kids and a negotiation with other orcs. And yes, [i]technically[/i] she and all the other runts around here are children, but they don’t feel like children. Vola isn’t sure whether it’s just an orc thing, or if there might be some other reason, but that’s not the priority right now. Not willing to let Gren do all the work, Vola spoke up for the first time, while helping Gren to position the meat over the fire to cook properly. [color=306EFF]”I can also help a little if anyone gets hurt. Tungem leaves can make an okay bandage in a pinch.[/color] She gave a quick glance to one runt in particular as she said that having noticed some of the dried blood on his head, though she quickly looked away, making sure to keep her eyes high. Is walking around in the buff normal for orcs? Her Vola memories doesn’t give her a lot of insight into this matter…well…probably best to try not to dwell on it. Instead she proceeded to help Gren with his crafting, while keeping an eye on the meat so that it wouldn’t burn. As it finished cooking she took the portions of the flames, handing them to Gren. It didn’t really feel right for her to take away from his share when she wasn’t all that helpful in the fight itself, besides, she wasn’t sure exactly how much needed to be consumed for Ingestion to be completely effective. She’d rather Gren take a bigger share and be able to gain a skill, than both of them being stuck at 50% or something and not being able to get another skill until they get their hands on a second Tatzelwurm. If there’s any leftovers once Gren has his skill, Vola will eat some of them. In the meantime, she’ll take a look around the clearing for anything that might be useful. Like small, throwable rocks, long grasses, vines, ect. If there isn’t anything though, she’ll turn her attention to the bones that was lumped together with the meat. she brought along with the meat closely inspecting them and slightly testing their sturdiness – carefully though, she doesn’t want to break them. If they seem sturdy enough and are solid, she’ll use her sharp stone to try and sharpen their tips to make something along the line of bone daggers. However if the bones are hollow, like the cats back in her first world, she’ll choose one of the biggest ones and cut off each end so that it would resemble a larger-scale pea-shooter like the ones kids use in school only, she's planning on using it to shoot darts instead of peas and spitballs...
