[u]Multitudes Before the Divides[/u]

[@Valkyr]
The Platta observe the Saurians some of that morning. The language is not understood, but  the Platta see them discuss similarly to a Platta camp, but the coloration is drastically different. The color of green as well as earlier fishing witness make the Platta think about their symbolism. The impression given was that they would likely beings that valued life and were protective of it.

That day, they approached. The plan was done. With a cautious approach, fish was left in front to show peaceful intentions. The Platta would observe how it was responded to. The caretaker (green cloth around the neck) of the group, Yisso, would be near and then attempt to communicate, starting with the word 'food' and work from there. The children of the Platta group would stay in the back to observe, and in the event of danger, they would be able to escape the soonest.

OOC: If this moves too fast, let me know.
IC: The Platta acknowledge the ability to move, and explain about what is coming so Faw won't be confused. Using the words taught earlier, and new ones if needed, the way of the occasional discussion is explained, and the general patterns. This includes how all known Platta meet up to discuss discoveries, plans, and ideas. The cloths represent the roles the Platta speak for and from. There are also mediators to help make sure the discussion goes smoothly. Some Platta have been more in favor of longer discussions, and some have not been. But overall, that is how their system works.

The next day, Faw is brought to the discussion but it is explained if she would prefer not to join in, they would understand. The Platta talk about various things including Faw, what she has said, and explain the consideration of her joining. The Platta would hear what Faw has to say about the Platta doings if she is willing.

Other items discussed are the mathematical writing system and how it works, the symbolism of the times, various food sources, ideas of art, and the growing trend towards the hierarchical system. Those in favor of it leave soon after that for it is concluded the Platta with white cloth will explain their future tasks. Faw's presence makes some wonder if she should be a task delegator. Others think she should be considered as an equal. Faw is told of this happening.

Later, the plans for future explorations and discussion are made. The Platta are planning to go in four directions as before, but not with the same members. Faw is asked where she would like to join in.

The mathematical writing system developed earlier was being used to dye the findings everywhere from now on.

In the southern most camp, the Platta began to explore more. The result of the previous discussion had led to a divide amongst the group of how to progress. As the Platta with the white cloth had not joined this expedition, those present who saw that means of organization preferable now had to discuss again. The Platta who preferred the discussion saw this as disturbing. For now, a compromise had been reached. Those who would prefer to be directed rather than cooperate would be a sort of assistant to the others. This made the ones who preferred discussion more so uncomfortable. Upon the journey, though, they did find it did make more time to observe the world and consider what it was symbolizing.

It was also noticed that the river had begun to go sharply east and remain that way. As the Platta followed the river, some new life had been seen. In one far-range expedition, the first Arsuron were observed traveling together, and the presence of tools made them halt sharply. Was more life out here? It seemed so. A new cloth was quickly retrieved by a sentry to give to the map maker, and quickly the Arsuron was sketched with the symbols for 2 as well. They watched to see what they would do, as the copper swords were seen as mysterious large knives of brown and yellow, the colors of horror, humility, and things not of nature. The Platta observed closely, and drew about what they did.
