paradisabeyond | (no subject)

[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.]

[ Oh man it's talking to her. Echidna shifts and offers this one only a mildly observant glance. It's young, at least.... ]

I suppose that depends on how you define 'with you'.

[~~a little on the girly side with his stupidly hourglass figure, even~~

He's not quite sure what she might be implying there, so he makes a confused face]

The expedition group.

You were within my line of vision.

Why didn't you say anything?

[ She licks her lips, eyes narrowing a touch. ]

Boy, if you want to interrogate someone, you're sorely out of luck. Go investigate a mystery that's less likely to end with your limbs feeding the fish.

I just want to make sure this group is safe.

And how do you care to go about that?

[He doesn't have a plan per say, so he grimaces a little when she calls that out.]

...By knowing what's a threat and what's not.

Too early to tell, don't you think?

...One can't be too cautious.

[ Laughing at this. ]

But one can be too stupid. Try again when you've thought it through a little more.

[Deciding that the laugh wasn't TOO cruel, he relaxes. Just a smidge]

Not the first time I've been told that.
