Normally Wyatt would have been able to keep pace with Kaelmourn during travel, but the pain of his wound combined with the cramps he had gotten from eating as he travelled slowed Wyatt down considerably.He finally emerged from the forest to re-join the party to see Drugo circling around what he had to assume was their camp.

Oirendial walked over to Drugo and the druid, feeling clearer of mind no that she was turned away from Kaelmourn. "My mother was an elf, my father a human. We lived in a land far away. That is all you should know" Shame welled up in her. She had never known what tribe her mother belonged to, or even that there were elven tribes. Her mother had always behaved in line with the humans in who'se town they lived. She turned to the druid. 'I fear your mindset, druid, you seem to be one with the forest, move around as if there is no hindrance, find exactly what yu need when you need it. I fear that when the time comes where you can make a choice between my life and the life of a critter you befriended or a deer you could use, i'd be dead."

Kaelmourn sighed as he was ignored and placed down his finished arrow, picking up another one of his sticks and working at it with his blade. He wasn't sure if he should feel angered or sad for being ignored by the woman who was sitting by him but a mere few seconds ago but he let it go. It wasn't worth wasting such effort on a stranger. His thoughts were interrupted as a Raven flew in towards him and perched on his leg. Strapped to its leg was a small scroll.
He unfastened the letter and read through it thoroughly before rolling it back up and tucking it into a small pouch on his belt. Reaching into the very same pouch he pulled out another, similarly sized piece of parchment as well as a capped-bottle of ink and long-feather from his pack. Unscrewing the bottle he dipped the tip of the feather in and began to scribe onto the small scroll for a few short minutes with the occasional pause to collect his thoughts. Eventually he signed it down at the bottom and rolled it back up, tying it closed with the same string from the previous message and attaching it back to the Raven's leg. He waved his hand at it aggressively until the bird took off into the air with its message and was soon out of sight.
The Ranger got back to work on his arrows...

Oirendial thought the time for talk was over. She shared more with other people in th last few days then in months or even years before and it made her uncomfortable, also, she feared she had angered the druid so she wanted to put some distance between them. If he were to cast a spell, at least she has time to react to it.
She went up in the trees and settled in a tree near Kaelmourn, though she was happy to get away from him before, she felt that shold the druid try to start a fight, Kaelmourn would be the safest to have around. A seemed stronger then the samurai, physically they might be equal or not, but Kaelmourn is the leader, and there has to be a reason for that.
"How long will we be waiting here before we move on? It seems our party is all here. I feel that if we stay in one spot together for long, without something like travel to busy our minds, our party will either fall apart or start killing eachother." Her voice wasn't threatening, but had an undertone that she was sure it would hapen so. She assumed that Kaelmourn new how to read a tone and would understand that she meant that she would leave or kill someone if they stayed here for more then a day.

Kaelmourn moved a bit faster on his work now that he had dealt with the business that the Raven had presented him, a bit of vigor in his stride so to say. Whether or not it was out of irritation or success was anyone's guess but his blade carved into wood at a brisker pace now. Though he didn't pick up on what the Half-elf was meaning truly, it wouldn't have influenced his answer anyways. "We are only here for a day, then we continue moving."
The Drow finished his current arrow half-way before setting it down for a brief break. He rolled his wrists about to keep them stretched out and took a quick sip from his waterskin. He had a lot more arrows to get through, and only one day to make them. Perhaps fate would smile on him and his efforts would be well-made.

Oirendial looked at the arrows Kaelmourn was making. Content with his answer. "Should you hve broken, arrows or find broken ones as long as i'm with you, give them to me, i can mend them and restore them to their glory. Don't see this as a favor, i'm merely trying to keep myself alice, and a ranger is stronger when he has arrows to shoot" She wondered if he would even let her touch his arrows, seeing as how he shuddered at her healing touch earlier.
"What is your relation to everyone here? You and drugo traveled together a long time it seems, but the druid ignored the order you gave him, so i don't think he's a part of your travelling band, and as for the human, he seems but a stumbling fool so far. Why is he here?"

The Pirate Lord stretched himself out and blinked once under his hood as he let out a soundless yawn. His arms crossed over his chest and his eyes went up to the tree above him to look at the half-elf. "Never underestimate a being, especially a human. That was a mistake I made too long ago. As for the Druid, he is here on his own accord." Kaelmourn watched her for a few moments as if trying to figure her out like a puzzle. He apparently didn't get the answer he desired from such as he then moved his head back down to look across the sunny plains from his shaded tree.

"I like the forest, not the plains, when we are out there i feel exposed, vulnerable." She sighs "I shouldn't have been here in the first place, i shouldn't have left my forest." She remembers wondering if it would be a good idea to explore around her forest and getting lost on the plains, the heat of the sun messing with her vision, surviving of any creatures she could find. Being lucky she even got there alive and now she was tangled up in this travelling party (OOC, this happened before choosig my starting point in the world ofcourse) . "At least i'm going home now." With that, she rested her head back against the tree, not sleeping, but taking all the rests he could since the travels to come would probably be dangerous.

Drugo listened to everything while he was sharpening his katana. He kept pushing forth and pulling back on the peace of whetstone before looking over to the druid and saying, "If you wanna see what my blade can really do, watch this." Drugo got up from his log, turned around and held his blade with two hands. He slowly raised it up high. The sword then went down very quickly and made his cutting look like a magic trick as if his sword went right through the log, and ended with a loud crack. Drugo then quickly sheathed his sword with great precision. Happy with the results he then kicked the log to show that the log was now in two. Just then Drugo laughed happily, knowing his katana is back in shape. He looked over to the druid and noticed his facial expressions showing great disgust. Realizing that that log was the only log he can sit on and relax on, all he could say was, "Oh..."

Oirendial suddenly heard a loud crack behind her and in a swift movement she pulled out her crossbow and put an arrow on it, scouting around quickly, crossbow at the ready. After watching for some time, seeing no danger, she relaxed, yeling back at Drugo "What was that?" Her heart should be racing by now, but it was steady as can be. She shivered at how comfortable she got with things like this. Being suprised by wild animals thinking her to be prey was something she had gotten used to.
She looked at Drugo, standing calm and with blade in it's sheathe, although he looked somewhat put off balance. She tought to herself, did the druid cast something on him? She readied her bow again this time aiming for the druid.

Drugo turned around and saw the half-elf. "Nothing is wrong.", Drugo said with contempt, "Just showing a little magic trick." Drugo stepped aside to show the log split perfectly in two. "The druid has nothing to do with it, in fact I doubt he liked my magic trick at all." He then slightly grinned at his own little joke.

Oirendial calmed down. "I heard a loud noise, and since we were attacked by skeletons yesterday, I was still on guard. Sorry if this somehow offended you?" She was confused by his reaction. She took a hint from Kaelmourn and statred checking the bolts she had for her crossbow, even though she was not capable of crafting new ones herself, she could mend the ones she had back to perfection. "How is your blade so sharp? A normal sword would need at least three cuts to get through a log like that."

Drugo grinned at her last question. "I will show you." He got down and crossed his legs. The tie to the sheath loosened and Drugo pulled it out on his lap. The sheath displayed many different symbols and designs. He then slowly pulled out his sword. His sword wasn't ordinary. He looked at the half-elf and made himself look serious and said, "It takes time and a lot of training to use the full potential of this sword. It is sharp for a reason, can severe body parts and limbs. I, however, never use the sword unless I need to and this case I checked to see if it was in good shape." Drugo then hold the sword in front of him with both hands to show the half-elf its designs. On it, there was a black dragon and on that black dragon there were yellow eyes. To Drugo it represented himself as a great creature, but unknown to him the black dragon is a dangerous and destructive creature. The blade was sharp and deadly.

"Well, if we ever get into a melee i'll be sure to stay away from it, my quarterstaff won't be usefull" she said with a smile. Knowing someone in her party had a ssword that could slice with such power and finesse, and had the skill to wield it made her feel safer about this journey. She felt restless, staying so close together with the same people would make it hard to keep her secrets and still find out the secrets of the others. She wanted to get a move on. "How do you hunt?" it was a basic question, but she wanted to know if Drugo was proficient with ranged weapons as well or could only wield his katana, on the other side, if he could catch wildlife with a katana only, that was more then enough to be feared too

Drugo then put his katana back in its rightful sheath. "If you give me a sword, I will cut with it; if you give me a bow, I will shoot with it. However, I don't hunt with deadly weapons. There is no honor in killing something helpless."
