But Black As Well
In the western exploration, after some time, the fight had ended. More emotions were tense than blood had been spilled, but it was still an awkward time. The Platta here split into three main groups for tonight. They were of the Platta seeking the different organization ideas, as well as some who were more interested in Platta cooperation than a particular side. The mediator of disagreement (black) was in this last group, and they were thinking about how to resolve this. It was their job to come up with ways to resolve conflict with mutual benefit, but they couldn't find a clear way that both groups could be made happy at this time. What seemed best was separate cities which each tried their own style, but this also meant a clear division of Platta way which seemed unheard of yet reasonable.
Meanwhile, in the group favoring hierarchical organization, they did realize a problem they had ignored. If there was conflict over what to do, how could that be resolved without discussion? Up until now, they saw white as a task delegator but what to do in the event of disagreement? A mediator of disagreement role was seen as more needed but they didn't want to admit that discussions were a simpler solution here.
In the eastern exploration, the Platta engineer (yellow) continued to explore mathematics and writing about it. The broken fruit had made them wonder how it can snap from a tree yet the tree remain, as well as snap of itself, yet bring multiple smaller pieces? This seemed off because the fruit wasn't a part of the tree conceptually but was physically until what made it fall. "What made this work?", they asked themselves.
The mediator of all (gray) was also on this journey and seemed troubled. A different Platta asked what was causing this, as the exploration was going well so far. The Platta explained, "It is the discussions regarding the order of tasks. There has never been as great a divide amongst Platta ways. I fear this may be our last exploration where all Platta work together."

The Platta observe the creatures talk. They don't know what they are saying to each other, but it hints to the Platta they are social creatures given their willingness to discuss with each other in the front of unknown life. The return with the watermelon is seen as a return of the peaceful greeting, and Platta follow with more food sharing. The cloth that is brought to sit upon is looked all over for drawing and color symbolism.
OOC: What color and design is the cloth?
IC:
When the introductions are made, the Platta writer (dark blue) of the group notes this on some cloth with many colors, including some black dye which is in smaller amounts than any other color. The last words about the bringing of mathematics to them aren't understood but it is figured that the unknown life isn't aware other creatures that can communicate might have different languages. "Perhaps they, too, associate intelligence as a trait not of being form but of ability to communicate. The Platta might also be a first meet for them.", the caretaker (dark green) thinks.
The caretaker (dark green) attempts to imitate the intent, gesturing to themselves and saying, "Wriz" while pointing to themselves. The other Platta follow with their own names. The writer of the group's name is "Kifam". Time is made for Faw to introduce herself if she chooses. The caretaker also then gestures to everyone, including Faw, and says "Platta". If Faw doesn't introduce herself, the caretaker then specifically points towards Faw, and says "Faw. Snow Brute". The caretaker, not knowing the ending message, stops there to see what is said next. A Platta child of the group, named "Tini" tries the watermelon as more food is brought out by the Platta as friendly intentions are perceived.
