Chorovis, slightly concerned with Chiclsaloon's strange misjudgment of Sosay's character, turns toward Soay, and, with a mouthful of food, asks, "Yeah, wha 'ou looin' at that lade 'or?" He swallows his mouth of charred meat (which he had to make note to never allow Chicsaloon to cook his meat again). "I mean, it's a finely crafted blade, but why take so much time inspecting it?" Chorovis scratched the newly formed whiskers of his neck and chin.

"Oh, this blade?" Sosay said as he briskly unsheathed his dagger, "I've already gotten blood on this blade," he said cooly with wicked grin. Staring at the dagger again, he continued, "and before my time in this realm is up, I intended to have far more blood covering it..." Sosay then slowly put his dagger back in its sheath as he nonchalantly said "You're both more than welcome to assist me in my quest." looking at Chicksaloon he then said, "Or are ya too squeamish for that?"

Being challenged was never a favoret thing for Chicksaloon, and there was time when any challenge would be met with lethal combat, but his time on the surface and with the Fire Knights had left him with more self control, if only for his own survival. None the less with the last word of Sosay, Chicksaloon smiled rather sadistically as he held his hand out, palm up.
"Knife."

Realizing that he was still talking with an orc who could kill him in one strike, with a grin, Sosay chuckled at Chicksaloon's response,
"Remind me to never try to provoke you more so then I just did." he said as he scratched the back of his head with his hand. "It's difficult to remember that you are an orc with the well developed social skills that you have." Sosay snickered as he stood up and said, "And with that I'm off to bed, good night everyone." as he walked back towards his tent. As he was about to enter his tent, he saw a burning ember fly to the foot of his tent and heard Chicksaloon shout "How is that for Squeamish?"
Completely ignoring the orc, Sosay took a second to crush out the ember with his foot as he entered his tent.
"Fucking Orcs..." he mumbled under his breath quietly enough so that no one could hear him.
Lying on his bedroll, Sosay felt a mild sense of embarrassment from his outburst. "They didn't need to know any of that." he thought to himself. "Why didn't I just make something up? Why did I need to reveal so much? Why do these problems of my past need to haunt me so?" he contemplated in his mind.
These thoughts would consume Sosay for the next several hours as he tried to gradually fall asleep...

The chuckle was just a bit more that Chicksaloon could handle. He took a few deep breadths and once he realized the well dressed man was not going to hand over his knife chicksaloon took his left hand and plunged it into the fire as the man walked away, riffling around in the embers he gritted his teeth making no sound, showing no sign of pain. at last he found a large, and very hot chunk of burning ember and ripped it from the fire, his hand sizzling and the smell of burnt flesh wafting in the air. With a momentary pause he clenched the ember and drew his arm back as he threw the ember it flew past Sosay at shoulder height and landed in the open door way of his tent.
"How is that for Squeamish?"

Chorovis watched as Sosay left the fire pit, and when he was finally out of sight, whilst ignoring Chicksaloon's actions, asked the remaining group, "Did any of that seem a little off to either of you? I mean I may just be over thinking it, but just then, he didn't seem his regular self. Then again, we haven't known each other for any amount of time that could be considered long, but from how he's been acting, and how he acted just then...something's wrong...he seemed too...confident. Not his relaxed, daydreaming self... Of course, I'm only thinking out loud, so it may not make much sense...but... He's definitely hiding something." Chorovis scratched the scruff that was now forming on his chin and neck, both wondering about the man who refers to himself as Sosay, and what the others believe.

Chorovs took a large bite out of the charred meat in his hand and wondered to himself, *You know, the taste is awefull, and I should never have trusted Chicksaloon to be able to prepare food properly, but you kinda get used to it after a while. Besides, it wouldn't be the first time I'd eaten an Orc's horrible attempt at cooking.*
"Well, something to think about I guess." Chorovis finished and stood up, finishing his chunck of meat and taking a large swallow of water. "See you ladies later." And with that, he bowed and moved towards his tent.

The next day, Chicksaloon awoke early and made his meal before everyone else awoke. Saddling Talal up he set out ahead of the party to scout the footing. Along the way he spotted several sighs of habitation by something other than animals as he passed thrue the mountains. He stopped about 2 miles out side of camp and set to making a smoke fire for the others at camp to spot.

It was still grey out when Chorovis awoke. Nightmares of that fateful night still haunted him, and although he wasn't tired, his sleep was not pleasent. "When will they end?" He muttered to himself, as he stepped outside the his tent.
The embers of a recent, yet small flame, glowed dimbly in the cloudy grey sky. He stared at the embers for several minutes, then looked to where the Orc had lied, and then to the smoke rising from a good 2 miles away. "Early bird..." He started, but trailed off as he moved to get his supplies ready for the day long ride.

"Alright you two," he called to the two who had surprisingly slept in. "Time to get your sorry asses up; we got shit to do, and not much time to do it." Chorovis slammed the flat side of his sword against his steel shield, making a loud clanging sound as he walked past the two tents that still stood erected. He heard some rustling sounds as he continued banging his sword and shield together, followed by a loud growl and someone calling, "Must I silence you myself?!" By the sounds of it, Jaegar was the growl, and Sosay had yelled, but at least at they had awoken, and that was enough.

Mean while 2 Miles away.
Chicksaloon had made a nice signal fire but he knew even if they were already awake, something the comfy confines of the city did not promote that they would still be at least a hours ride away. To pass the time Chicksaloon began grooming Talal, a habit he had picked up from his time with the Fire Knights.

The day was young, and Chorovis was ready for action. He was being led in his usual place, right behind Sosay, but right in front of Jaegar. It was a quite a while before they met back up with Chicksaloon, but there was no mistaking the bulky Orc and his lizard, even from a distance. Though, Chorovis's mind was still on other things...

Seeing the rest of the group come over the hill a ways off Chicksaloon made heist in getting his gear back together and mounting back up for the continued journey. He waited for the group to get with in a couple dozen feet before speaking.
"Bout time you lot caught up, the City has made mush of you all."

Chorovis continued thinking, hand on his chin. When he heard Chicksaloon's comment, he simply waved it away with his hand. *What is Sosay's true goal? How long will he keep this charade up? What does he mean by 'getting more blade on it'? Likely a cover story, but then what is it that he'd need a cover story?* The way Chorovis sat on his horse was different now; he was no longer fidgeting as he rode, but instead simply sat and thought, as if he did not remember how uncomfortable he was earlier.
Chorovis looked at Chicksaloon for a while, before he finally said, "Lets go," and headed off towards the front of the group.

Chicksaloon fell in with the group letting Titanis take the lead and falling behind him. It was not long however before his contemplative state nearly cost him his life as his hore stumbled and nearly tossed him to the valley floor below.
