Theian sees her bolt off. He laughs, then realizes that she was going to get food before him. "Dang it! JYYYYAAAA!!!!" He runs after her, wondering if he'll reach her before she eats all of the food, and what the food was. "JYA! Wait! Not every guy has the ability to run like you!"

Post by Richter Abend on Nov 29, 2009 18:16:49 GMT -6
Richter sat outside his tent, eating a piece of salted beef, a bowl of porridge, and mug of ale. He tore into the meat with pleasure and downed it with the brew. Compared to what he was used to on the march as a mercenary, this was food fit for a king. He looked up at the stars in contemplation.
He was nervous about the upcoming confrontation. It would either turn into a peaceful negotiation and then war on the Prophet, or an botched negotiation and then war on Lycia. Either way, there would be war, and for once, Richter actually had hope, something to believe in. He wasn't just fighting to get by. Now he was in reach of his goal. With Hargus and the Prophet gone, perhaps there could actually be an era of peace, where the weak didn't need to rely on the strong. Where the weak could just be weak, and be happy with their lives. Not everyone had the strength in them to deal with all these wars. Finishing his food, Richter left the dishes outside his tent on a tray, then went into his tent to rest for a bit.

Jya didn't wait, instead, she ended up pounced down on some sort of rodent creature. How many rodents had she caught since her birth? Perhaps more than ten. The little creature squirmed free of her grip, rushing deep into the sea of grass.
"Hmmm, wish I knew where else to get a meal," she told herself, still oblivious to the fact that the march was given some food provisions.

Valorian sat by a small fire, and chewed the piece of meat he'd procured. He ate light, better to leave more for the sick and injured. Plus he didn't really need much to eat...
A thought entered into his head that caused a small grin to spit his face. And he ripped a piece of meat off and tossed it into the grass. It lied there for but a moment before a small pair of rodents came upon it.
"Well, the first part worked..." He remarked, waiting.

Theian sees Jya pounce on the rodent, and then sees a man standing three feet away from Jya, giving food. And people think I'm nuts. Well, time to eat. He grabs some meat, soup, and cheese from the man, and follows Jya. "Jya, hold on! It's not like you'll find a dozen of those in one spot!"

"Yeah, you're probably righ-" Jya broke off when her eyes fell upon the gathering of rodents, feasting upon something on the ground. Without a second thought, she rushed in towards them and jumped on top of the creatures. There was tussle of small claws and fangs, but in the end, most of them managed to have fled. She did however end up catching three of those creatures.
"Oh hey Valorian!" she exclaimed, finally noticing the priest.

Theian stares wide-eyed at the gathering of rodents in front of his eyes. His jaw then drops when she attacks the group, and almost faints when she nabs three to eat. "Um... wow. Maybe I should have tried that when I was at Ilia..." He then notices the monk nearby, and that Jya was sitting next to him.
"Hello... er... why, I believe we never met. My name is Theian." He extends his hand. So this is the monk Jya was talking with...

Valorian looked down at the young girl, who looked more like a cat hunting house mice and smiled. "I thought my bait might work. It's the perfect trap." He said with a laugh. When Theian went to introduce himself, he nodded with a smile, grasping his hand.
"I am called Valorian. I am sorry if we got off to a bad start." He then turns back towards Jya after the introduction.
"What have I told you? You need to eat more then what you can scrounge up. You don't know when you will have the chance to eat like this again, so you should try it. After all, trying new things adds some experience to your life." He picks up a small, hand carved, stone bowl from the rock next to him, filled with a warm broth. Due to the numbers in the army, it was little more then broth, but he'd added some of the meat he had to it.
"Here, I've got some extra." He offered to her. Honestly now, someone had to teach this girl how to take care of herself or she'd never get better! Knowing how to survive and knowing how to take care of yourself were two very different things.

Theian shakes Valorian's hand. "Bad start? No, of course not!" He watches Valorian criticize Jya's hunt for food. Well, it was a bit odd, how Jya can eat thing that most people wouldn't even look at. Well, you learn a lot from being in the wild. Father had missions where he had to search in deserts, mountains, and forests. Only the Archsage Athos could tell him what he had to do. Still, what Valorian said was true. One has to make advantage of everything, including what is given to you.
He laughs and sits next to Jya. He grabs some cheese and eats it with the meat, taking a drink from his canteen while eating. "So, how did you two collide with eachother?" Theian wipes a trickle of water coming from his mouth, and takes another bite of the meat, "It seems as if you two have known eachother for a while." He grabs his bowl of broth and takes a deep drink.
Ahh, broth. It's been a while since I had something warm. He grabs all of the cheese and rips up the meat and places it in the broth to (hopefully) make some stew. Maybe joining the group was a good idea.

Valorian smiled at Theian. "How did we meet each other? Well that's not really as exciting a story as you might think. I was trying to catch up to this army, traveling from Erturia. I ran into her along the plains of Sacae, and it is always the duty of the church to help those in need. Plus it can be dangerous for even a holy man to journey alone."
He paused for a moment. "That wasn't too long ago...maybe ten days at most? Anyway, she's been a tremendous help, plus it is always nice to travel with friends instead of alone, don't you agree Theian?"
So...what was the make of this man?

Morgoth walked up behind the group with some stew in his hand. "Hi."he said, not knowing what else to say. He sipped some of his stew and sat next to the talkative guy. He then took out his tome and looked through it, hoping by chance that he hadn't left his notes in his cloak.
