[sblock=OOC]Lol, Erin takes her clothes off before sleeping when she's camping? [/sblock]

Enko looks after Erin for a moment, wondering when she had a chance to undress during the night. Then thinking about the fact that she really is quite beautiful... He blushes at the thought, and turns away, heading over to eat some breakfast.

"Artimisia, I've been thinking about what you said last night. I think that I should try to communicate with the spirit of that oak tree. I've never done the ritual before, but I know how it's done. The only problem is that it will require some time. Maybe an hour." He looks around at the rest of the group for their opinions.

His eyes eventually come to rest on the crippled creature. "Do you think that it needs to eat?" Taking a piece of the meat with him, he goes over to the creature and examines it.

"I don't know," Erin replies with sarcasm as she puts her shoes on, "Let's find a puppy and we'll find out."

Enko glances over at Erin, questioningly. "A what?"

"Puppy," she repeats, "Baby dog."

Erin sighs and shakes her head. "Nevermind. It was a joke. Are we ready to go?"

Enko continues to look confused "What's a..." he starts, but trails off when he loses Erin's attention.

By the time everyone has eaten and camp is broken down, a faint shimmer of sunlight has begun to filter through to the forest floor. Birds chirp in the canopy and leaves rustle as small animals scurry about in search of food and shelter. The captive creature groans softly, still unconscious from the combat the night before.

Upon seeing the owl perched on Thane's head, Artemisia looks startled, then purses her lips and trills out a bird-call. The owl blinks at her, but doesn't respond. "A striped owl, huh? I've never seen one so comfortable around people before. You should be honored. At least, until it messes your hair, anyway." she ends with a giggle. "I think that we have enough food for now; hunting slows us down and speed is of the essence. We don't have enough salt or time to preserve the meat we hunt, so we'll have to go in cycles of hunting for a day then traveling full speed for several. Hopefully we won't need to use the food we have packed, but it's good to know it's there when we do need it."

"Artimisia, I've been thinking about what you said last night. I think that I should try to communicate with the spirit of that oak tree. I've never done the ritual before, but I know how it's done. The only problem is that it will require some time. Maybe an hour.

"Do you think that it needs to eat?"

"Well... we won't have to hunt today, so even if you do your ritual and nothing comes of it, we'll still go farther than we did yesterday. If it'll make you settle down some, I don't see the harm in it. I could use the time to take a little nap, myself." Artemisia looks to the rest of the group and asks, "Anyone else have anything to say about it?

"As for eating ... well, it's alive. Even plants eat. I would suspect it only eats meat, given its ... inclinations."

Enko nods in response to Artimisia and holds the piece of meat close to the creature. "H-hey. Can you here me? I've got some breakfast for you..."

OOC: Can I do a heal check or something on it to see how close it is to awaking?

"I'm going to partol the area. I doubt very much it's gonna talk with me around, and you definately don't want Growl here when it starts moving."

"The forest will provide, don't worry," says Thane simply. "Don't throw out any food, I'll see to it that it's edible if we need it." With that he heads off with Ryan, probably for largely the same reason.
