    <<I have been traveling to help my friend,>> Pern replied brightly and looked to Hath as he stepped forward next to her with his own greeting, <<this is Hath.>> <<Quite a friend!>> Opoe squawked, the feathers of his crown flaring at the sight of Hath, <<Hello indeed, friend of Pern. I see your...

    Pern smiled pleasantly at the idea of Hath having changed over his years away from the tribe. Part of her wished to have known the old Hath, the one that Scy had traveled with, but another opposing part of her told her she likely would have been quite a bit more uncomfortable around him. And the...

    "You mean..." Pern wide-eyed at the approach of the minotaur and halplessly gawked as it passed by, catching herself only when it raised a brow at her in passing. "Ahm - like me? How I am different becaushe I live in Elbion?" that seemed to make the most sense. It had become abudantly clear...

    The crowds were quite a bit more heavy than expected. Though, Pern thought to herself as she cast a glance to the sky and noted the sun's position, it was getting closer to midday. Perhaps everyone was seeking their own meals? She turned a curious glance to Hath as he spoke, unsure if she had...

    "Mm," Pern frowned, pressing a hand at her head as she took a moment to let her reeling mind slow down. "I jusht ... washn't expecting ...ahm," she gestured in the direction that the other orcs had arrived and departed, "that." She felt ashamed that she couldn't hold herself together around...

    That ... was somewhat more assuring. If this sort of exchange seemed so normal to Hath that he spoke of it so casually, almost boredly, then perhaps she was making a mountain out of a mole hill. Twisting gears that need not be involved, as her father would say. Pern deferred to Hath's opinion of...

    In this moment she rather appreciated the gesture of his hand. It was a gesture her father had made to comfort her in times of duress or uncertainty and she almost wished he hadn't pulled away so quickly. "Maybe I should not have shaid anything about being a shmith..." she wondered regretfully...

    Well if he said she hadn't, Pern would take that small morsel of assurance and hold it tight. She remained silent, golden eyes flickering upward at Hath as he spoke his last words slowly and clearly, but wasn't certain that it provided any relief to her. Waiting until the other orcs were...

    Pern did not move - if anything she was lingering ever nearer to Hath after the female retreated back to her companions. Something about this exchange felt unnerving on a level she hadn't picked up since Hath's brother had come to claim her for the clan after they left. She could not understand...

    Pern went rigid as the unknown female began to circle, doing her best to mind her body language but finding it extremely hard not to appear as though she were caught doing something or being somewhere she shouldn't be. Eyes wide and jaw taught with concern, she strained to listen to the exchange...

    She'd barely had time to register his musings, the color of beet rising into her cheeks so quickly she might've been mistaken for wearing too much rouge, when his warning about more orcs nearly gave her brain whiplash. "Ah-" Pern began, thoughts colliding somewhere between her lungs and her...

    Pern fell quiet during the exchange of words and considered the item in her hand. It was true she'd owned it for several years now and broken it in to a perfect fit. But it held no true sentimental value to her. <<It is ok,>> she said to Hath and offered it over to the faun, "for the quiver...

    "Come down he says!" the voice barked in laughter, "I've been here the entire time!" Pern raised her brows at this, feeling equal parts chastised and confused. His voice had been everywhere? So where, exactly, was he? "In the ba-ack," he bleated. Sure enough, when Pern turned around to face...

    A smirk twisted around Pern's tusks, pressing up into her eyes in amusement at the thought of Hath, the great warrior, fashioning himself with a flowery quiver. Of course it was not to his taste and, frankly, not to her own either, but she could see a young lady archer wearing it confidently...

    She'd been busy looking at the other varieties of arrows when Hath passed his chosen selection back. <<How many?>> she asked, recalling he was not good with numbers in trade tongue. She had at least learned numbers in orcish while living among his clan - one of the easiest things to pick up of...
