[Yavia]

(Aww, the goat is sooo sweet!!! Love it. )

slightly bewildered what just happend Antaka stares at Mehadrin. Why did he slap Toad? That was absolutely unnecessary. No wonder Toad broke up with him. She would have done the same. (by what she saw she thinks they had been a couple but ended in great dislike. Being gay is normal to her and her tribe)
"I do not doubt your fiery as I witnessed your temper, as you might have noticed I am standing right here. I would like your further Argumentation being without the use of hitting people, if you don' t mind." She smirks shortly. "Oh! We do have a nice warm forest downstairs, maybe that fits your wishes?"
She was tempted to send to Wander to just shut the floor if Mehadrin was downstairs. But that was mean and just a very short thought. She had been mean enough lately, maybe she has become the monster of her dream? Not bloody but vicious. She needs to get back to her tribe away from this foreign people with foreign habbits she dislikes. Or she just needs to clear her head...

[Berit]

Mehadrin sits down and moves his hands over his legs, as if they are aching...

"Forest? what would I want from a nasty old forest?... No... I will stay right here... so that Wander there... that sick blind guy? he is the leader?..."

Wander looks a bit offended as Mehadrin just said he was sick and blind, but then Mehadrin bounces up and surprisingly seductively walks to Wander, and sits on his lap! Wander  looks totally baffled and worried of the sudden contact!... Meharing looks at Wander's face...

"hmmmh... but there is something there... you are quite the looker... at least you don't have an ugly nose and haircut as Toad has... so... how big is this... territory of your... oh leader..."

Wander looks surprisingly angry...

"Excuse me??..."

Mehadrin slightly strokes his chest...

"there now, don't be angry... I'm just... afraid... alone... Toad left me to the mercy of starvation... but... you look... kinder..."

Wander looks at Mehadrin and doesn't like his approach, he doesn't know him and he sits on his lap!... Wander's eyes seek out for Antaka, so he knows he is not alone with Mehadrin... Wander says angrily...

"please, sit somewhere else... my legs are getting tired..."

But Mehadrin doesn't listen and strokes his chest again, Wander pushes him off his lap and surprisingly seems more chief material than usually when he says...

"I told you not to sit there! know your place and don't touch me ever again!..."

Mehadrin rubs his butt on the ground...

"Owie!... you are mean!... I must be treated like a flower!..."

Wander looks at Antaka... he seems worried that Mehadrin said something mean to Antaka before...

[Yavia]

("Wander looks at Antaka... he seems worried that Mehadrin said something mean to Antaka before... "I don't understand what you mean with -said something mean...before-. Before Mehadrin gets into the cave? Why is Wander worried?)

Antaka gets between both of them to step in if something will happen. "Flowers don't get hurt when tossed on the floor. They don't get broke, they just regrow. They can be cut and just regrow. Do you want be handled like this? Okay. If you don't accept peoples wishes I will plant you outside next to the dead monster. So sow yourself on a fluffy fur and lets have a nice little chat. Where do you come from and how did you ended up here? And why you want so desperately talk to a leader?" she wasn't sure what will happen next but she was sure to aid Wander because he is sick. Or kind of. What a successful push that have been...

(Antaka will interfere if Mehadrin tries to touch Wander again. She will grab him or shove him back again. But without much force. Dice 2)

[Berit]

(I meant when Mehadrin and Antaka were talking, just before he went on sat on Wander's lap, Mehadrin was a little sassy towards Antaka)

Mehadrin pouts and sits on the floor and angrily says to Antaka...

"I was talking an´bout a delicate and beautiful flower, not about a WEED like you!..."

Wander looks at Mehadrin and booms...

"DO NOT insult her like that!! Antaka is not a Weed!... I'm beginning to realize why Toad wished to forget everything about you!..."

Mehadrin looks in the other direction like his bored, not caring if someone shouts at him or threatens him, he explains to Antaka...

"I am from a beautiful place called Aman... it is surely something far better than what ever hole you crawled from... There I did what I do best... was beautiful and charmed anyone who could promise me a better life... I started way down... but in the end I was at the top... and my beauty finally bought me what I sought after most... freedom... my beauty alone saved me from slavery.... years and years of slavery... and..."

He looks with this sharp green eyes at Antaka...

"I have no plan of being at the bottom again... I have no plan of talked to like dirt... I am better... I NEED better..."

Slowly he rises, looking almost angry in his passion to be in the top...

"I DESERVE better!... I am beauty incarnate!..."

Wanders anger towards Mehadrin fades a little when he heard Mehadrin was a slave... Mehadrin might be very broken from the inside because of his place of origin... Wander gently touches Antaka's arm, as if the ask her not to lose her temper towards the red headed princess...

[Yavia]

Antaka understands Wanders Gesture. She was called a bird and now a weed, okay, that seems to be the use here. She understands now why Mehadrin was so eager to talk to the Leader. But how did he get up from the bottom with being a jerk? So the golden Rings are from being a slave.
"How did you end up here, if you earned your freedom and your place on the top in this beautiful place called Aman? Did you leave Aman willingly or have you been ripped out and tossed to this place like a common weed?"

[Berit]

(Damn! I wished antaka would shake him up a bit!)

"I am no common weed, don't mix me up with you..."

Mehadrin says,then looks away..

"I had to leave Aman, As the one who was giving me the sweetest of life full of luxuries was suddenly assassinated... I might have been recaptured as a slave... so I ran... lived a couple of years with whoever could afford me... but then... I got pulled to this, horrid place!.."

Mehadrin lifts his arm to his forehead very dramatically!...

"It is so cold here! nothing beautiful anywhere! I almost STARVED!... and then, I met Toad..."

Mehadrin calms down...

"He helped me to stay alive, and I figured he had the most so I seduced him... with face like he has, he was so desperate for someone to love him, what a fool... no one will love someone so ugly... and to even believe that a thing like love exists! what a joke! Well with him I pretended... until he couldn't give me more... he was a waste of my time... but here, I might find someone to take care of me..."

Mehadrin hugs himself... then looks at Antaka with his sparkling eyes...

"So... I wonder who will have me... maybe you could keep me warm, hmh?..."

[Yavia]

(I'm not sure how Antaka could shake him up. He doesn't seem to bother... But on my way to the achievement... Platinum trophy here I come )

"Keep you warm..?" Antaka accented every word. His overacting was still a laughing bit but she was angry in an instand how he speaks about Toad. Only because of his appearance! This little stripe of hair at Mehadrins chin don't look sexy at all! "I don't get the concept of your way to the top. Aman must be populated with stupidity. What should I give you if I'm just a weed? Do you even listen to yourself? So you get out of slavery and now let others be your slaves? You need help to stay alive? Can you do anything by yourself? Do you need assistance to have a dump, like an old man?" she turns to Wander. "Please let me plant it outside, please."

[Berit]

(you know what I mean! a little bit of punching never hurt anybody!)

Mehadrin looks at her again brushing her anger off like it's nothing...

"Darling... You do have more than me... you have a role here... you have beads, you have a weapon... you have lots of clothes..."

Mehadrin leans towards her, slightly touching her with his shoulder, he is obnoxious but there is something surprisingly pleasant about his scent... He looks Antaka deep in her eyes...

"and you look warm... and its very cold here... hold me..."

Wander looks at Antaka and tries to calm her down...

"Maybe he has had a rough night when Toad wasn't around? maybe he is mean because of hunger?..."

Mehadrin just leans on Antaka and looks her in the eyes...

"My pretty warrior... do you not like what you see?..."

[Yavia]

(ROFL - Mehadrin oh my goodness - * wipes tears out of my eyes* I can't punch him with no reason. And he is taller than me, isn't he? But the idea of Antaka carry's him outside to plant him like a Flower in the ground just hunts me now. I have to draw this  )

"Maybe he can go for a hunt if he is hungry", Antaka snarled to no one in particular and moves away from him in hope he might fall off the seat. "Maybe he learns not to insult the ones he begs for help later on." She looks at Wander. He makes her wonder. He definitely has a softspot but his words spoken in anger have been strong and mighty. She looks back at Mehadrin. "Do you wear clothes as one give you some? You brushed the furs away like you never wanna see them again. Nearly naked seems to be the only thing you can get anything. But nah, not my type. A pity I don't like a lot of you. The thing I like is that you're funny. You talk without any common sense, you act weird and you don't listen. Really I can't take you seriously." she bows slightly in his direction. "Not a good start to convince me to do anything, thistle" She pushes him away if he gets to close. This scent makes her uneasy. There was something going on, maybe this was the reason the people did what he wanted?

[Berit]

Mehadrin almost falls over when Antaka suddenly moves... He looks at Antaka from beneath his flaming red hair... it is surprisingly hard to look away from him, even if he is a jerk... Mehadrin says...

"Look... we both know it... we know how the world works... others are with you just because they want something from you, and it is not your personality... a lesson I learned young... and the thing everyone wants is my body... that is a thing I can give you if you give me something back..."

He seems so sure of his words, it is surprisingly sad that he really thinks that is the way the world works.. Mehadrin stretching says...

"Like my parents, they gave me up to be a slave for wealth..."

Toad happens to come back down, looks at them but doesn't want t strike a conversation with them, he goes to Wander...

"my Good man, I would like to ask of a favor... could you assist me on obtaining few of these heatstones? amount that fit's a bucket would do well..."

Wander nods and focuses... soon the stone floor moves and heatstones rise from the ground, Mehadrin SCREAMS like a woman in horror movie and immediately hugs Antaka to feel safer!...

"Wha-What just happened?? what was that!?! i-is it dangerous?? am I safe??..."

[Jeb]

Moondrop leaves the cave hoping her aching head will be soothed by moving outside the small dark cave. She drops down to sit, breathing deeply as she tries to grasp at the memories.

Could she really have known Marut before? In all of her memory, she can't ever recall meeting another elf before. Now, to have run into Marut twice in a hand-span of seasons seems incredible. Still, someone must have taught her to speak and hunt. And the fact that she has suddenly been placed near him makes it reasonable to think that it has happened before. It could have happened many times, too long ago for her to remember. Maybe there is some connection drawing them together.

She thinks of the nightmares that Antaka and Laluna had, seemingly related to this "danger in the mountain." Could it somehow be bringing her these memories as well?

Marut said he had no memories of being in a tribe, but she decides to go talk to him again.

[Berit]

Moondrop walks to Marut's den and finds him sitting near a boiling pot, he tosses pieces of sinew, cartilage and fat into it as he is cleaning the rendeer carcass... Marut's hands look like they have seen a lot of work like this... His bow is near him at all times, it too is worn from use... Marut's silvery eyes turn to look at her...

"Still hungry?..."

He asks while making room for her to sit...

[Jeb]

Moondrop sits down but shakes her head at the offer of food.

"The strangest thing just happened. I went to Yare's cave, and suddenly had a memory of being abandoned. I was young, but you found me, and cared for me. Then the earth rumbled and cracked and we were torn apart."

She looks at him intently to see his reaction. "Could that have happened?"

[Berit]

Marut stops what he is doing for a second... The slowly turns to look her into her eyes... He doesn't say anything, just looks at her, puzzled... The fact that he doesn't immediately brush it off makes it feel like it really could have happened... Moondrop looks at his bearded face, the thing She remembers clearly is that he wasn't so hairy back then... Marut slowly turns his gaze back to the boiling put... Moondrop even knows what he is making, was to cover his bowstring... His own brew... Marut looks at her again with an apologetic smile...

"If I Lost you... That means I never was that good of a father to you... I'm sorry..."

[Jeb]

"Ah, well..." Moondrop says while standing up and brushing off her hands. "What's done is done."

He is so obviously in the hunt that she doubts he'll know any more information about her history, but there is something he might know.

"Have you seen any strange animals about?"

[Berit]

"Strange animals?..."

Marut asks and looks at her eyes again, clearly trying to remember the past... and looking sad as he doesn't remember such an important event... but suddenly Marut asks...

"You think we could be related?.... I don't know why I feel that way... but I remember holding a baby for... someone... blood related... faces are long since lost to me... but that baby... kinda looked like you..."

Marut looks at his hand, he has five fingers and she has four, Marut doesn't know how it could be...

[Jeb]

"Could be." Moondrop picks up a fallen twig and idly stirs the boiling pot. "We're meeting now. It could be we've known each other before, though neither of us remembers it."

Her expression turns wistful. "Alone, hunting, foraging...it's easy to forget that time is passing. Snow falls, the world turns green, then dies again. You don't know how many times."

She is quiet for a time, then snaps back from wherever her mind was. "But something is bringing back these memories. Why now?"

[Berit]

"Yeah..."

Marut says when Moondrop mentions how easy it is to forget when living the life of a lone forager in the woods... He looks back at her...

"I'm sorry I forgot..."

But then when She mentions the sudden memories, Marut nods...

"I have noticed that too, I've been remembering things from the past... like something is knocking on the doors of my mind here... but... I do not know what it is... I've also seen... ummh... vision... of sorts? dreams?... like the mountain over there is... evil somehow?... that is why I don't want to go near it... and sometimes at nights I've heard... strange screams from the darkness..."

[Czarine]

Laluna growls and giggles playfully when she "wrestles" with Stormsong. The physical activity helps her clear her mind.

She suddenly halts when she sees a white, fluffy creature a few paces away from them. She's even more curious when it baa's and approaches them.

"Well this is something! Are you lost, little one?" she speaks to the creature, even if she knows it doesn't understand. She's surprised that it doesn't seem to be scared of Stormsong.

[Berit]

the Goat happily rushes towards her! it is hungry and thirsty and unable to survive on it's own even if it's fur is long and white... it has been so used to getting what it needs from someone that it has no idea how to search for it's own food... as it rushes to Laluna for safety and comfort, Stormsong suddenly crouches down licking its lips! he is ready to lunge!...

[Czarine]

Laluna is surprised to see how utterly without fear the goat runs toward her! It must've been lucky to survive on its own this far.

Laluna notices Stormsong's pose just as the goat's getting near them. Laluna pounces on top of Stormsong's face, holding his snout.

"Stormsong, wait! This one is not food!" she exclaims.

(Laluna's roll: 5)

[Berit]

(Stormsong Rolls 3! Laluna wins!)

Laluna Jumps on top of his face and manages to keep him under control, Stormsng tries to get away from Laluna's grasp but soon both hear licking... the Goat gently licks Stormsong! Stormsong is so surprised that it snarls at the goat... the Goat slightly moves it's tiny Goat tail and comes closer to get warm near Stormsongs big body, Stormsong jumps and backs away, the goat follows, suddenly Stormsong loses his shit because the animal keeps following! He runs away while leaving a yellow piss stream on the snow! he got scared because the animal kept coming at him!... the Goat baas longingly after him but quickly turns to Laluna for warmth...

[Czarine]

(Yay! Go Laluna!)

Laluna struggles to keep the big wolf at bay, but to her and Stormsong's surprise the goat seems totally fearless of Stormsong! Laluna stares at it incredulously when it licks Stormsong, and forgets to hold Stormsong back... She's even more surprised at Stormsong's reaction, and cannot but laugh when he runs away from the tiny goat!

She looks at the goat smiling and curious, when it finally gives up on following Stormsong and comes back to Laluna.

"Now, what are you to be called? Wolfsbane?" she laughs.

[Berit]

the Goat just happily responds to her question...

"Baaa-aaa!..."

and shakes its tiny tail again... Laluna notices that there is a bit of rope amidst the Goats woolly fur... it is too thick to be an elven rope and it smells of humans!... the Goat really has been a pet for the humans, maybe it was even intended to be a sacrifice for the mountain but it escaped... the Goat rubs it's head on Laluna... it likes her... the Goat Baas again, clearly asking for food...

[Jeb]

More talk of the evil in the mountain! Screams and dark twisting things sprouting in yet another mind. Moondrop throws the stick she was holding into the bushes in frustration.

She asks Marut, "Why do you stay here?"
