[IC] Aftermath

[Vortex]

Sale made his way to a old town and saw the two men from before sitting there makign preparations, Sale leaped, rather than walked out of the shadows and said "Hello again!"

[crazyman6699]

Alagrath was bent over sorting out supplies when he heard a voice behind him. He turned around with a knocked arrow pointed at the stranger, something he knows all to well.
"Who are you?" He demanded.

[smarty0114]

John saw Algarath and Sale and walked over. "Your one of the other people from the river. You know you've got a knack for sneaking up on people."

[Vortex]

Sale turned to Algarth "Well I'm quite insulted you don't remember me I must say!" Then he turned to John "Ahh.. Yes sorry about that"

[smarty0114]

"Have you come here to stay?" John asked Sale

[Vortex]

Sale was being wary as not to alert them that he had a clan backing him, "For now... Yes"

[smarty0114]

John didn't trust Sale. He was sneaky and he seemed hesitant to answer too many questions. "Well for now help Algarath search the town for supplies."

[Vortex]

Sale thought this was a perfect opitunity to asses this town of worth before reporting back to his clan "Very well" he turned to Algarth "Come"

Riley followed shortly behind the others but hesitated when she reached the small gate. Did she really want this? Isolation can be handy, besides, she didn't know these people. She entered anyway with her arms crossed. "Hello... mind if i help out for a week or two?" A week wouldn't hurt, would it?

[crazyman6699]

Alagrath turned to Sale, "Oh yeah that's right. You were by the river weren't you. Sorry about that, but I didn't get the best look at you before."
Just as he was finishing his sentence, he heard someone near the gate. Alagrath turned around.
"Hey it's Riley."

[smarty0114]

John looked over at Riley and smiled. "We could use all the help we can get," he said as he started cutting the cooked animals up to be served. "Foods ready!" he shouted to the others.

[crazyman6699]

Alagrath walked over to John and sat, cross legged, near the fire. He grabbed some bits off of a squirrel and started eating.
"Thanks. I was starving." He said.

[Vortex]

Sale himself was not starving as his tribe never went hungry, for that is the benefit of numbers, so he quietly picked at his food for he expected that the rest of the group had jot eaten for several days, so they would not question his picking he said "Did you know some one was behind a tree watching you people?"

[Gabby2614]

Riley joined them and started nibbling on a piece, It felt nice to be in a small group like this. She sat back on a nearby log and sipped her bottle of water slowly.

[smarty0114]

John ate his food, quickly but neatly, giving off an air of civility. "Where ere you guys before?" Johnn asked, interested to hear their stories.

[Vortex]

Well that's odd if he found out somebody was watching him from behind a tree he would want to inquire but apparently these people are different as they do not seem to care, he turned to john "Perhaps you should say first.., in order to establish trust..." He said.

[smarty0114]

John nodded. "Well my parents and I lived on our own in the forest for a while. And then last week my parents were killed by bandits. And so I've been on y own since then. Kind of a weird feeling."

[Vortex]

"I see..." He wished he did not ask as he did want want to get attached or feel sorry for them as he wanted to dispose of them as quickly as possible if need be. It now seems that it was his turn, he was not sure wether to lie or tell the truth eventually he decided to tell the truth as it would have less complications "I come from a tribe of desert warriors, who would raid, trade and plunder as we had no means to grow food in the desert, when I was young however there was a schism in the tribe so my family and others left forming a new clan in the forest, we have been there ever since" Sale purposely left details like his uncle being leader and he being the heir, among other things, out.

[smarty0114]

"Wait? You're part of a clan?" John asked,reaching for his already knocked bow. Damn it. He may have just lead a clan to his oasis. Stupid stupid stupid.

[Vortex]

Sale instantly knew he should have told a lie, he sighed "Yes, yes I am. Now I suggest you put that bow down, I was raised in the great warrior desert clan of the Tal'Akman! I have had years of experience of fighting and hunting so fighting me would not be wise" he said bitterly, in fact Sale may have been raised in a great warrior clan and had years of fighting but the truth is he was rather bad at it so for the most part he relied on his silver tongue and sharp intellect.
