[color=Gold][h2]Goblin Barth[/h2][/color] [hr][color=Gold]Arming himself>>>Following After Nyma//Day 4//Afternoon[/color] [hr] [@Crusader Lord][@Jangel13] While waiting for a response from the female goblin, Barth took time to get used to his immediate surroundings. He was standing a few feet away from Nyma, wanting to give her a reasonable amount of space in the event she told him to scram, and as such was just outside of the circle of younger trees she was examining. Leaving her to her activity for the time being he moved off towards her side, his fingers trailing along the bark of a particularly large tree. He tilted his head back, straining to see the very top of it. While gazing up he noticed that the sun had begun to make its descent. Barth’s head snapped back down once Nyma addressed him directly. He turned around to face her, leaning against the tree which he found surprisingly comfortable. At her inquiry he took a moment to ponder on it before he nodded in agreement. [color=gold]”That sounds like a great idea! Besides it is probably safer for us to stick together anyway. We have no idea what may live out here. So it’s nice to have someone to explore with.”[/color] Barth gave her a friendly smile as he spoke, glad to see that he and Nyma seemed to be getting off to a good start. When she returned her focus to the small trees he couldn’t help but tilt his head in confusion, wondering what she could be doing. It became apparent soon enough when she yanked one out of the soil and began swinging it around. Barth dropped his head as the thought of arming himself had never even crossed his mind until she had done so for herself. He knew that moping around about his lapse in judgement wouldn’t help him in the slightest, so instead he turned his attention to finding a suitable weapon. He saw a few rocks laying around near the tree he had been resting against but decided they wouldn’t suit him. Continuing his search he quickly stumbled upon a fallen branch. It was about six inches shorter than he was tall and mostly straight save a couple of curves along its length. Bending down he picked it up and once he stood he took a moment to hold it horizontal while lifting it up and down a few times. It wasn’t so heavy that he would have trouble wielding it but seemed to be sturdy enough. Adjusting his grip so that he was holding it with both hands he spun towards a nearby tree and swung the branch against it. He could feel the vibration of the hit through both of his arms but he was satisfied as his new weapon had survived the impact. He placed one end on the ground as he decided that he may as well use it as a walking stick. [color=gold]”Let’s just hope that our travels are rather uneventful!”[/color] Once again a big smile came to his face before he followed after her.
