Kijani smiled at Marcus' compliment, and looked to Warden. "It's poison, dear. Makes the muscles lock up, but does not kill. Sometimes a live hostage is more use than a dead enemy." Cracking her knuckles, she continued to explain. "Well, Warden, there was a time when food came from animals and plants, instead of chemical factories. It had to be grown from dirt, in the ground! I know it sounds odd, but in the past, there was health in the soil, enough to make plants grow high, like the highest of buildings!" She raised her arms up, obviously getting into the story-telling.

"The animals would be fed the plants, and the animals would be killed to make food for the people. But then there were too many people, and too few animals. When fully synthetic foods became cost effective, the majority of the Earth and colonies switched to that. True-grown food became a luxury. It is wonderful. One day, perhaps, I will let you have a tasty dinner. A sandwich of real chicken or ham, or beef, and... I think ice cream made from a real, living cow's milk." Her gaze turned, to eye Marcus with interest. "And perhaps for us, a nice thick steak, vegetables, and a glass of amazing, precolonial wine... I have a bottle stored away for a special ocassion. Perhaps... we could make one."
I'm not saying there is. but all dwarves are specifically listed as male.

i mean. 10 dwarves in the hobbit... and they're all dudes? Come on.. not fair.
Leonce had the sword half pulled from the scabbard when they came across the dead spider. Once he realized it wasn't going to move, he put the sword back. Then he rushed after Korlash as the elf ran. His nose picked up the smell of rotting leaf. "The trees, there's something wrong here!" He was born and raised on a farm, and he knew the smell of a crop that was diseased. "What could have poisoned an entire forest?"
I love dwarves... If I could come up with a second character, it'd totally be a dwarf woman.

No one EVER depicts dwarf women!
Leo walked carefully with the blade, holding with obvious skill and extra care. After Korlash warned him about spiders, he accepted the warning, his blue eyes darting around. Eventually he spoke again, able to do both. "You owe her? Sir, you can owe someone money, or a favor. This..." He gestured with his hand, at the forest in general. "This is a labor of love, sir. If you are not 'involved' as you say... I fail to see why not. I mean, a giant wasp is far more frightening than a lovely woman."
*nod* Yep. This is about the speed for an RP when people have other things to attend to.
Leonce nodded, looking quite worried. "Sir Korlash, if you don't mind my asking... Could I use one of your blades?" He gestured to the small dagger at his hip, his smile bashful. "I don't think I'll be doing much with this, if that is the size of this forest's insects." The elf was driven, and Leo followed without comment for a bit. Eventually, after watching Korlash pushing through, but with obvious pain and stumbling, he felt the need to speak.

"I... I apologize for saying so, and I do understand what is at stake... But truly, sir, don't you think you should return to your lady love in one piece?" He gestured to Korlash's leg. It had a wealth of scratches on it, and was starting to look nasty. Of course it had been broken, too, and barely had time to heal. "I mean, if I must carry you and an antidote out of here, then I will do so. But I cannot help you when your lady yells at you when you are all... hurt." He chuckled softly.

"I have never seen it directly, but the older knights, the ones back home who have wives... the wives worry." His grin was almost infectious, despite the dangerous territory. "And no one wants to cross a woman who can tame a broadsword wielding knight."
It may not be moving at a fast clip, but I don't think it's dead either. I usually give a group RP over a week to truly be done for.
Me too! I didn't even get to have my character choke out a politician...
"Does she know how-" Bu he dropped when the command was given, his legs obeying before his mind could even process it. He felt massive wings beat overhead, and then a horrible distinctive squish as Korlash was stung. "Oh, oh no..." He crawled over the ground toward the elf, shielding him until the insect had passed. But the the wings started coming back, and he rose to his knees. If he didn't defend Korlash, there would be three deaths: his own, the elf's, and his lady too.

"Sorry, Korlash." He pulled one of the swords from Korlash's belt, adjusted his stance for it's weight, and then timed his slash with expert care. The hornet's stinger dropped to the ground. He hadn't known an insect could make that kind of horrible noise, but he took another swing and sliced it in half. Not waiting for the creature to stop twitching in death, he dropped back to Korlash. "A-are you okay? Can you see?"

(Is he bleeding? I got the sense that he didn't get stabbed in the eye, just... scratched. If he got stabbed, he'd probably be like... dead.)
