Ayana had to admit, she was impressed by how stubborn and hardheaded some of her peers could be when they made up their mind. Even if she felt they were totally in the wrong, that they should listen to what she had to say. They continued to remain blind to the truth, they continued to deny her, to push her away. She desired only one thing and that was to help, for them to believe. It was the only way they would make it out of this alive as far as Oros was concerned.

Returning to her small little shelter that she had made earlier upon their arrival at the lake. Oros was able to get a good rest despite all the chaos and conflict that had torn into the peace that had existed previously. She had kept an eye on Shun from a distance, making sure she didn’t get herself into any more trouble. Being satisfied she had gone to bed, having no intentions of trying to physically stop Duncan or Asahi from leaving in the morning.

When the morning did come, Oros had awakened bright and early. Even though she had no intention to physically stop them, she still felt she should try to speak with them one last time before they headed out. Perching herself upon the branch of a tree just outside of camp and on the path to the mountain that Asahi and Duncan wished to travel alone. 
[h1][/h1]
She had arrived way earlier then she needed to, but she felt it was better to be safe then to be sorry. She wouldn’t want to miss this one last chance to convince them to change their minds, to wait for the vote. To wait for the decision to be made for the entire class to join them on the mountain expedition. 
[h1][/h1]
Oros couldn’t understand why they insisted on trying to do stuff alone, or with very small groups. They were only making it harder for themselves, lowering the chance of not only their survival but the others as well. There was power in numbers, safety in numbers and even more importantly more heads to think and solve problems with.

When Asahi and Duncan did finally arrive, Oros waited little time to hop from her perch upon the branch. Landing right before them as she stumbled towards them losing her balance and colliding and rebounding off of Duncan’s impressive and massive form which sent her falling back the other way. Hitting the ground she quickly got back to her feet and dusted herself off as if nothing had gone awry. Balling up her left fist and bringing it to her mouth as she let out a little cough.

[color=ed1c24]“So, you both are determined to venture off on this suicide mission together, I won’t stop you from leaving, though I still strongly believe you should remain in camp until things are settled, we keep splitting off into smaller and smaller factions and groups, we need to stick together, to believe in the truth that only I can share with all of you….there is power in numbers….strength….but everyone wants to throw that away, to be some kind of hero, no one is going to remember you if you run off and die, never to return as it just increases the likelihood that everyone else meets the same fate, that is all I have to say, I have spoken all that I have to give….”[/color] Oros addressed the duo one last time. She doubted her message would get through to either of them. But it was worth one last try, even if she knew Asahi especially saw her as a liability, as insane. But even so, it was her duty to attempt one last long shot.
