Keepa blinked, narrowing their eyes at Ashiek from the poke, their still mostly obscured by the hood and the scarf. That kind of attention is the exact reason he started covering up, doing what he could to hide himself from others. However, he was mostly ignored back in he tribe and wasn't too used to the attention until they had started the journey and they were...made aware.

The bunny slugged Ashiek in the shoulder while he was backing off.

I disapproved of being seen as an object that jokes were being made about being sold. I was out here for knowledge and glory with the two, and I feel like I've done little to earn any respect. Besides the jokes about being sold, the teases about belonging to Ashiek were almost enough to make me cry at times...but I supposed it was better than living in the tribe. I have money, I have food, I have...friends? Well, I had Skylar, she couldn't see me, and I guess that's why I was fond of her. She was always so kind, I couldn't help but share my food and water with her when she needed it; I could see why the others protected her. I guess I've begun to adopt that purpose, my current one is laughable, at best.
Fortunate, grateful, honored? I was a little unsure how to word how I felt about Xurga. At the least, I felt safe having someone so big standing around. I could hold my own in a fight, but the insurance of a hero on your side...Hmm.
And then there was Ashiek......I wish he wasn't so mean, sometimes. Okay, so I don't really know what I think about him. I mean, something about how he talks about me makes it hard to speak...so I hope he got the message from the punch
