The Huntsman

The Huntsman opened his mouth to reply to Mabel's revelation that she was lost and needed to fin her brother. But before he could, two more arrivals made their presence known. The first was a foreign looking man who bowed to the group without a word before seating himself at a different table. The Huntsman answered the bow with a nod of his before his attention was caught by the arrival of the second newcomer.

"Hi, my name is Kovu. Something the Huntsman could only describe as a humanoid lion spoke up. I don't know why but my instincts led me here."

"You... aren't the only one." The Huntsman said as he recovered from the initial shock of this new arrival's appearance. "I'm pretty sure everyone at this table has been brought here through some strange means or another. And with you here, this table now only has three empty seats left. Something tells me that there will be three more people sitting with us before long." Though he didn't say what that something was, the Huntsman knew it himself. It was the rhymes that the Queen had taught to him before he left on his mission. Already he could put two of the poems to the people who had joined him. Mabel's was the rhyme of the shooting star far from home and Kovu's was the rhyme of the beast.

A kidnapper. Yes. This was, of course, what I had meant to say from the very beginning. Gordak goes in search of a Blighted community. There, he will go up to the first Blighted he sees that looks inclined to answer questions and speak with them. "You there." Gordak says. "I am hunting a man who has been kidnapping Blighted here in Gathis. Has anyone in this community been kidnapped recently?"

Do you think Gordak is literate?

@RedOnTheBed

Gordak is literate, but the skill does not come to him swiftly. He needs time to properly read or write something. He can rush the process if the situation calls for it, but that leaves him prone to misreading things or making errors in his writing.

"This is very true." The Huntsman agreed with the observations on meat and mead made by the third strange girl to approach the table now. "We have eight seats here and eight meals on the way. You are more than welcome to join us if you'd like to."

The Huntsman

Before the red haired girl could answer the Huntsman's question, another girl arrived. This one was younger than the first and had brown hair rather than red. More notable to the Huntsman though, she wore a sweater with a shooting star on it and carried a tome. Was this one of the people the Queen has bade him to find? Either way, she seemed lost. So the Huntsman felt compelled to help her. "I... wouldn't exactly call this a party, child." The Huntsman said, having hunted meat for far too many banquets to see something this simple as a party. "I would say this is more of a... meeting really. As for your question about a map, I've only just arrived, so I don't have one for here yet. I do intend to buy one once I have had something to eat though. In the meantime, why don't you have a seat and tell us who you are."

The Huntsman

In a failed attempt to take his mind off the presence he could feel observing him, the Huntsman had retreated into his thoughts. But he returned his focus to the world around him when he noticed someone approaching the table. The Huntsman looked up to see an enthusiastic, red haired girl who looked to be around the same age as Snow White moving to join him.

“Hi… hello… um… what’s the appropriate word to use?” The girl asked the Huntsman, seemingly a little unsure of herself.

"Either of the words you used is fine." The Huntsman told the girl with a small yet reassuring smile. But before he could say anymore, the girl noticed one of the forks on the table.

“Oh my gosh! A dinglehopper!” She exclaimed in excitement before picking up the fork and using it as a comb.

The Huntsman wasn't entirely sure how to react to this. He knew foreign cultures could be strange, but he never expected this.

Eventually, the girl became aware of several patron’s eyes on her, the Huntsman's included. Causing her to smile sheepishly and put the fork down. “Um… did I use that wrong?” She asked.

"Y-Yes." The Huntsman said, finally finding the words. "That... dinglehopper you called it? That's actually called a fork. It's used to eat food that's either too hot or too messy to touch. I'll show you when the food gets here. For now though, what's your name?"

The Huntsman

From the moment he he set foot on the Empire's shores, the Huntsman felt as if he was being watched. Even when he was totally alone, he could always sense some kind of presence observing him. He eventually came to the conclusion that someone was using magic to keep track of him. But who? It couldn't be the Queen. The magic mirror couldn't actually show anything, only describe it. Perhaps it was one of the people he had been sent to find? He hoped so. If it was a powerful caster like the ones he had been ordered to hunt down, then such a power knowing of his presence did not bode well.

Putting these thoughts aside for the time being, the Huntsman decided to find somewhere to eat as the first faint feelings of hunger made their presence known within him. Eventually happening upon a tavern/inn/diner, the Huntsman made his way inside and was greeted by a world weary waitress. "Welcome to Mudka's Mead & Meat Hut, Home of the Mead and Meat. What'll it be?"

The Huntsman opened his mouth to request a table for one and a single Mead and Meat, but a sudden flash of strange intuition changed his words. "A table for eight and eight Meads and Meats, please." The Huntsman said. "My companions will join me shortly." It was only when he was seated at his table and the waitress had gone off to process his order that the Huntsman realized that what he'd intended to say had been completely different from what he had actually said. But how could that have been? Had he just be paying incredibly poor attention to his words? Or was there something stranger afoot in the Empire of the Sun?
