The Legend of Dragoon: Fate of the World

Veragwen shrugged, "I'm fine for continuing even if I am half carrying Nayash. I may not look extremely strong, but I worked hard on endurance." she said, smiling as she flexed an elegant but well-toned arm. "I always felt that was more important to protecting people than raw strength. What good is that strength if you're too worn out to use it, right?"

She gave Caelyn an even look, "I'm glad you're in good spirits, CaeIyn, but I don't know if you should be running around just yet," she grinned a little, "I'm also a little offended that you'd underestimate me so....perhaps in a day or two we can find out the winner, though."

She had been noticing the looks that Mara and Caelyn were giving each other. It was like....they both suspected the same thing but didn't want to discuss it unless in private. Vera decided it was best to let them do their thing. She wasn't one to pry and when or if they trusted her they would tell her on their own.

Veragwen smiled, "I haven't heard of many people running into snakes or scorpions Maybe a bee or two. Are you afraid of bees, Nayash? Most animals and insects around here won't bother you if you don't bother them. Also, I think a forest has far more places to hide than a prairie." she pointed up, "In the treetops for one. In the trunks too just to name a couple. And I don't think we need to worry about water. There's plenty at the cave and we have a good amount in our canteens to last us a bit."

"As I understand the plan is to make some more progress and then make camp. There's really no reason to stop right now unless someone needs a short break."

Veragwen shook her head, "No Caelyn, you need to stay with Mara. I'll go with Jerus. Perhaps when you've recovered you can go with him. I know this area the best and my bow will make hunting much easier. I'll go with him if he really needs it." she looked at Jerus, "For the most part the area around Seles isn't all that dangerous. That scorpion that attacked the town wasn't native to this area. Plus it's...ya know....dead now. If you can use those weapons of yours decently well you should be okay. But as I said, I'll come with you if you wish. It certainly is much easier to shoot an animal than it is to stab it."

She turned to Mara, "Either work. I suppose it depends on if you want to be able to hide in the forest or have good visibility of our surroundings. I wouldn't worry about dangerous monsters. The worst we've got around here is bandits or a bear. I can take care of either of those myself. We might make faster progress through the prairie though."

Veragwen eyed up Caelyn. "Are you sure? You're still not fully recovered yet....maybe you could help Nayash and I or Mara can take point?" she asked, concern clear on her delicate features. "There's no need to push yourself so."

She looked at Mara, she was pretty sure she knew what the girl was thinking, she didn't trust Jerus with information about the stones either. She had a few ideas, though. "Once we camp we should probably think about food. We do have some food with us, but I think it might be a good idea for someone to do some hunting. There's quite a few of us and the small amount we have won't last long if we don't supplement it somehow. In the meantime the rest of us can get camp set up and a fire started for when they get back." she gestured with her head at Jerus slightly while looking at Mara.

Veragwen looked back, and helped try to find Raena, "What? We literally just left Seles, how did she manage to wander off already?" she said as she looked around, "I hate to just leave her but we need to press on. Let's spend a little time looking and if we don't find her, let's get going. I'm sure she'll pop up at some point. She seems like the type to do that." she said, as she looked behind some brush and trees.

Veragwen shook her head, "We're not quite sure, Jerus. He did seem the type to enjoy that sort of thing, but I have a feeling that wasn't all. I intend to find out everything, though."

She smiled at Nayash, "Feel free to put as much weight on me as you like, Nayash, I'm stronger than I look. And I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Everyone I knew is gone but....now I have a greater purpose. A new life to live. I've always dreamed of doing something more....important? Something larger than protecting a small town that no one cares to visit... Perhaps that's not quite the right word, but you get what I mean...."

They arrived at the tent shortly and Vera went in to grab Nayash's pack. She slipped it onto her shoulder and returned to the woman's side, "This is yours, she said, shrugging the shoulder it was on, "I'll carry it for you until you've recovered. Are you sure you want to try that hammer, though? You're tired now in addition to injured...."

Yeah, it happens sometimes.
