The magierprinz largely ignored the dog's antics, instead listening to the village elder explain the issue. There were very few specifics, but it was easily understandable why a problem had been caused. Although Selvina wondered what was going on with these sorcerers - a powerful sorcerer to an uneducated village chief could be the same as a mediocre college student in Sappho - the girl listened anyways as she tried to put on a non-lethal smile and nodded.

Well, until the puppy was hit over the head by something random. He would follow the dog if she gave chase immediately, but if he had a second to react he would walk over and grab her hand firmly. "They are antagonizing us. Don't let it get to you, alright?" Swen let go of the girl's hot hands after a moment, sighing.

The native smiled for a few seconds as she watched realization run across Charlotte's face, although that was short lived as black hair started to question the world and obviously was sent into a small panic. Cait really didn't understand why it terrified the other woman so much ... wasn't it great to hear the voices of nature? Although other things the Great Mothers showed terrified even some of her people when they were done for the first few times. They had length, and it was strong. It would probably be best to try and calm the other woman down in a similar manner to how they calmed down others.

The orange haired girl approached Charlotte slowly before grabbing her hands and trying to calm her down. "Shhhh dark one. It is fine and normal and only temporary. My strands have this power, and I will explain ... later. Now shhhhh ... you had some questions about the land, did you not?" The shorter woman tried to have as sweet of a voice as possible, and hoped giving her hard working companion an objective would set her mind straight.

"Hey, is your buddy alright? She looks pale ..."

"She'll be fine in a moment. She just needs a little water." The orange haired woman passed the canteen into the other girl's hands. "Now let the calm of the forest fill you and ask away of the friends. You are a smart one, surely you can hold this for later and embark on the thoughts of the world while they last?" Hopefully helping to calm the other woman down, Caitriona started to play a song on her flute as if this was perfectly normal, trying to keep the music to calming tune. She didn't add anything extra though, thinking it was probably best to let the high drop from here.

The excited voice returned. "Anyways tall one, Charlotte! You're not from around here, are you? You smell distant to me, but nice!" The rabbit's sat down and tilted it's head at the tall woman.

Cait ignored the other woman's irritated glare, instead focusing on her work. Plucking a few herbs from her backpack and combining them with a stray strand of her hair, the woman lowered them into the fire within the flute and watched the smoke rise and then lower itself to the ground as if it was some sort of fog.

Then the orange haired woman began to play, hair glowing in the starlight. The song was pretty and upbeat, although gradually grew more down in tone and mysterious. Various animals began to come around the local area, and the black haired woman would probably start to realize that there was a slight mental effect from whatever the reagents were as her thoughts became more primal and complex equations and thoughts were slightly harder to organize.

Pointing at a rabbit who wondered nearby the campfire and then looked at Charlotte curiously, the native spoke to the other woman with a smile. "See? Aren't they very friendly?" The fire haired girl moved closer to the irritated woman, lowering herself into a sitting position. "Why won't you say hi?"

"Hello! Who is this?" An excited voice filled the air, coming straight from the direction of the rabbit. Caitriona looked at the small thing, giggling slightly as she reached into her bag and offered the rabbit some greens.

"Sorry my good rabbit, I was talking to this miserable woman named Charlotte." The small creature looked up at the black haired woman, seeming to be curious.

"Miserable? Charlotte simply looks irritated to me, Cait. But what's her problem?"

Botanist And Bards

Cait nodded, a little saddened as the other woman seemed to want to leave. But it was understandable. However, her reluctance to play nice irritated the native to no end. The native grasped the flute in her hand and pointed towards the door with a serious expression. It was obvious the other woman needed a little encouragement to make friends. "Come on, why do you hate them so? I am not teasing you. You need to learn to speak with your friends or things will turn out badly here for you." The orange haired girl was going to get this girl out of her cave one way or another.

If Charlotte hesitated for too long in leaving, her butt would suddenly start to sting as the shorter girl swatted her butt in encouragement with a smirk on her face. It had worked last time, so it would work this time. "Out, now." Cait would use whatever effort was necessary to get this woman outdoors.

The native then looked at the small fire from before, and after having the alchemist sit on the ground as she set up a small flame in the same spot before putting it into her flute. "You've been inside all day anyways, a little moon on your skin won't injure you!"

The native nodded somewhat as the woman explained what paper was. Of course she knew what paper was. But ... recording the landscape? How could one do that at all? If this foreigner had some method of tracking the lands aside from speaking to the animals, Caitriona was curious to see what it was. But it was obvious that the other woman was frustrated for some reason.

However, the second times she spoke of the great mothers in a derogatory tone Cait scowled for a moment before forcing herself to pick up the flute and play a little song to let her frustration out. It wouldn't be useful to yell at the woman in this situation, and the orange haired girl was starting to think there was a major misunderstanding.

As fire hair finished, she finally spoke to the other girl obviously a little irritated as well. "The Great Mothers would be able to aid you, I am sure of it. They speak of lands far away and likely have a better mind and gatherings for how things work. Their length is far longer and stronger than mine is, at least." Cait's eyes looked up to her own glowing hair as if she was disappointed before continuing.

"It's obvious you are not satisfied here, for whatever the reason ... although you seem too closed up to speak of what your aims are, if you do know them."

Suddenly the native had an epiphany. She gestured outside before looking at the other woman. "Why not speak to the friends? I am certain of their ability to aid you, if you'd only be their friend too!" Cait was still upset about the entire fiasco earlier, and was hoping Charlotte would understand that small critters weren't exactly food.

The native watched as the other woman simply became more irritated, and pouted slightly in response. What exactly did death-hair want anyways? Did she simply enjoy some sort of hostility between everyone?

However, the fire haired girl simply got confused as the other woman started mentioning a 'map'. It was one of the few words that had no meaning in her language, and so Charlotte simply used her own for it. Truthfully, the native had never asked nor Charlotte bothered to explain what this apparently valuable artifact was. She lifted it and wondered if the object was beneath it, but it wasn't.

Going over to it once again, Caitriona looked at it and tried to understand what it was depicting, but the more she looked at it the less sense it made. What were the strange drawings supposed to represent? The girl got a slight headache, shook her head a few times, then thought about how to respond to the black haired woman.

"I do have a ... group ... I live with. Perhaps the Great Mothers could aid you, but this artifact is strange to me." Of course, Caitriona would have to offer a little explanation, although her face flushed uncharacteristically. "... now is not the time to go there, though. What is the purpose of a 'map'? Does it use something like the cave solution to work?" To show what she meant by 'cave solution', the girl pointed over to the glasses the woman had acquired.

Cait raised her eyes up to those of the lecturing and obviously upset woman. Initially the native was simply made upset by the new person's antics but a few moments after she finished speaking ... the orange haired girl just felt sorry for her. It was rather obvious that Charlotte had been through a lot of pain in her time back in wherever she came from. So when she finally said, "... I'm sorry ..." it would be hard to tell if it was motivated by some form of regret or some form of pity about Charlotte's background.

Perhaps the woman had been abused in a way? Such things were rare, but they did happen. "... Our people tend to be more kindhearted than yours, I think. It's not your fault but ..." Any assumptions about black hair's background would probably be irritating to the alchemist anyways.

"... so how can I help ...?" The native wasn't truly sure why she hadn't just gotten up and left this meat eating barbarian yet, although she knew the answer. Contact with her home village should be kept at a minimum for the next month at least, preferably two.

Selvina bowed her head as the chieftain gave his advice to the group, happy that Luna's interruption about England hadn't slowed their momentum. Apparently a little buttering up had been rather useful for them all ... "I understand, Sir. Can we ask what you know about the creature of the mountain temple though? Anything you know can help us with our job and get us back home a little sooner." Selvina gave off her best smile, wishing they had something like an adorable cat-girl to make the party less threatening.

Eith might have been some sort of dog, but she wasn't the same adorable Selvina was looking for. Speaking of the puppy ... "Eith! What are you doing? Get back here and stop wondering around the poor man's house!" After their recent conversation Selvina was happier with their relationship, but that didn't mean that Eith wasn't some sort of nimwit at times.

Of course, Selvina was totally unaware of the eavesdropper, but his ears weren't half as keen as the hounds.

It was a relief that there wasn't a shortage of food ... but then why did they kill each other? The girl's thoughts were interrupted as Charlotte called her questions 'inane' and implied she had never been of use. The woman's tone was eternally serious, and it was rather apparent after all these weeks that it wasn't a joke. The tall one hardly seemed to acknowledge her or her gifts, and aside from a little teasing she had been nothing but cooperative - even when Charlotte ate her friends.

The glowing hair shifted slightly as Cait's head adjusted, her slightly higher pitched voice lowering itself. "For once? Unlike when I delivered food, or pottery, or taught you how to climb the trees? I'm sure you'd be doing as well if I had just left you on the beach." The shorter girl glared at the other one, stomping one of her feet on the ground in frustration. "You act like I'm stupid just because I don't know how your mechanizations work, and while I've been completely cooperative in teaching you our language you tell me nothing about myself. If it hurts you too much to say anything, then just say so!"

Bright eyes looked up at Charlotte, trying to remain steady. It was hard to be aggressive with one so large ... "And you are allowed to smile, you know. I don't know if it's your people or just you, but I've never seen you happy!"

The magician shot the hellion a look as she decided to mention sweets in this high tension situation. It should firstly be rather obvious that this person was incapable of affording sweets, but also that the village likely lived in a state of perpetual survival up here in the harsh mountains and that this person going out of their way to acquire them could be the death of the village.

How could this girl's mom be so different?

The magierprinz's attention returned to the chief in front of them though as she spoke once again, looking to Luna for backup. Luna was always better with people anyways, at least when it came to giving off good intentions. It would be silly to lie about having magical powers based on the books and the general group appearance though. "Although we wield magic, calling us sorcerers is a bit much. Right now we are a bunch of schoolgirls-" Saying that about himself made Swen feel sick, especially with the slight giggle she gave off half way through ... "-who are here to solve some problems the adults couldn't handle properly." Selvina shot off a look of irritation at the air, as if this entire ordeal was just as frustrating to her as anything else.

Of course, that frustration was caused by different reasons.

"I mean, I'm pretty sure all of us want to get back to our nice dormitories and be warm and cuddly ..." ... the magierprinz wondered if that's what girls do ... "... how do your people survive up here? You must be really tough to be comfortable in this weather!"

When all else failed, flirt slightly.
