[Good evening, explorers! After departing from Cair Paradisa, the path was south at first, but turned west fairly early on. Skirting well south of Eldritch Forest, the travelers had camped near the edge of the Amber Steppe, not quite within sight of the forest that marks the Totem Coast. The grasses are parched brown by the heat, though greener patches mark the presence of water. It's near one of these - a small, bubbling stream leading west that Raine has chosen to follow as it will almost certainly run into the river marked on her map - that the travelers have made their camp.

The carts and wagons are arranged in a defensive circle, though the campers are free to set up their tents outside them as well as inside wher ethe rest of them are. There are small cooking fires scattered around as well as a large bonfire in the center for socializing.

Play music? Sing? Teach those poor non-Earth kids how to make s'mores? Or just sit around and socialize with others.

Or hide in your tent and ignore everyone, if you really want to.]

[ She looks up and levels the girl with a pleasant smile. ]

Yes I am.

We talked a little while ago ... [she'll nod her head in greeting] I'm Ino.

Ino. [ Her smile grows, recognition coloring her features. ] It is lovely to meet you in person.

You, too. [she'll smile back! gosh, this girl is really pretty ...] What do you think of the expedition so far?

I am not entirely sure, but it is a pleasant change. [ Her smile turns fond. ] My people are travelers, they never stay in one place for very long. It feels good to be on the move again.

Travelers? I guess you must not be too happy to usually be stuck at the castle, huh?

It is not as uncomfortable as you may thing, but it does feel strange to remain in one place after spending so long moving.
