The First Age of Man

[KirayaTiDrekan]

"Without telling us? No. He is gone. I fear our talk of magic and what he has seen was too much for him. He is too ingrained in the traditional ways."

 

[Voda Vosa]

Sheng Shemin

Sheng scratches the back of his head at Seerah's words. "... But where could he go to? Ye think he's trying to get to your tribe first to warn them about ye?" he then gulps. "Or me?"

 

[KirayaTiDrekan]

"I don't know. He was an outsider to the tribe just as I was so I don't know if his word will carry any weight with the chieftain. Inguar, do you think he would do such a thing?"

 

[Shayuri]

"Sialfi was an outsider once too," Niraya says quietly from the corner she'd been observing everything from. She eyed her spear in particular. The mental image of Sialfi taking it, standing over her, with no one else conscious, was a disquieting one. Had he been tempted? "He could have done much worse. He even tried to make sure nothing would surprise us when he left."

She waves a hand at the trap.

"That took time, and effort to do. I don't think he'd have bothered if he couldn't stomach us. There must be something else going on."

 

[Axel]

Tekai had been quietly sitting and thinking while the others discussed. "We might be confusing a things here. If Sialfi hated Seerah and Niraya so much he would have just slit their throats while we all slept, before leaving or killing the rest of is. He may have some things in his head that need to be sorted out and wandered off, getting into trouble."

Tekai sighed, not really wanting to add the last idea that had popped uninvited to his head. "Or he might be so unhappy that he has taken his own life, so as not to burden us. Whether he took food or not could tell us his plans." He stood and walked to were the food supplied were, on and around the cart.

Inguar sighs as he takes a look at the other side of the bushes. In case there are further surprises. “There is no certainty as to what he will do, he’s a conflicted boy, and the way things are, I cannot blame him. I doubt he would have great sway with Hjalmofir, but with others he could stir up conflict.”

[sblock=Tekai]Tekai steps through the bushes, first noticing the sunlight shining down, the air remains chilly, but it is a welcome relief from the constant overcast and snow. As Tekai walks out to check the cart, he notices that the supplies have definitely been rifled through, but more importantly he notices that Botheidr is absent. The horse’s trail indicates a slow walk, with human foot prints beside them heading back the way the party came from.[/sblock]

 

[Axel]

Tekai returns to the cave, looking worried. "He has taken Botheidr and a good measure of food, then gone back the way we came. I think it was his free choice to leave us."

 

[KirayaTiDrekan]

Seerah nods, unsurprised, "Then we should respect his wish and not pursue him."

 

[Axel]

"Can the cart move without Botheidr?"

 

[Piston Honda]

Inguar speaks a bit solemnly. “Aye, Volnir can pull the cart alone. Unfortunately, it’d be best to lighten the load.” He heads outside to the cart and looks around for a few moments before returning. “He’s got some of my medical supplies, food for himself and Botheidr; from the amount taken, he has more than enough to make it back to the tribe, if he knows the way.”

[Sblock=OOC All]Food supplies have been drained, everyone remove another day’s worth of food supplies.[/Sblock]
