I still have to show up to work until the state officially shuts down.
Ouchie. I guess there's no "work at home" option for you?
On that topic though, I'm an introvert and have been working at home for six years now, so being quarantined isn't effecting me as badly as I imagined.
The Goliath continued along the path not far behind the human Paladin, Renault, gazing out as far ahead as possible for oncoming danger. Something certainly didn’t feel right at that moment, and the fact that the one leading the group stopped and grasped the pendant around his neck, elicited a raised eyebrow from the woman.
“What are you doing?” She whispered, standing only a few feet from his location. Vah’lux may have had some idea of what the human was up to, as he claimed to be a holy warrior, a representative for the gods as well as their right hand of justice. Perhaps he was simply praying, but that feeling in the air didn’t go away, and maybe something more was transpiring around the group.
For a moment, Joss was taken aback by Olivia’s coldness, wondering what in the hell could be so important that conversing with a friend would be a distraction? Of course, they normally thought such things, and shrugged it off as self-esteem issues or simply bad timing. However, it wasn’t always like that, not from what the Driver ever remembered. It seemed like within the last year or so, Olivia had become more of a reclusive, and less interested anything else but her work.
“Look, you don’t have to go, it’s no bother.” Joss said in a hurry, noticing the girl across the table gathering up her papers and other supplies. “You’re not leaving already? I just got here. Well, can I at least walk you out?” The breakfast sandwich all but disappeared into their mouth at the end of the question, not wanting a missed opportunity with a friend.
“Um, how about I give you a ride somewhere?” Joss took a big gulp of coffee to wash down the remaining food.
“Tread carefully, my friends.” Vah’lux turned to the others to be heard, her husky voice cutting through the ambient sound of the breeze rushing by. “Keep watch. Not only ahead, but under your feet as well. I suspect there may be other creatures lying in wait.”
This wasn’t something unfamiliar to the Goliath living in the region she hailed from, as a handful of small and large creatures spent most of their days burrowed under the protection of the land from that of the unknown and very unpredictable surface. Not too often does it happen, but when said creature feels threatened enough, they will not hesitate to leap from their nests and strike at invaders.
The large woman only hoped this was not one of them...
“Mhm.” With a slightly amused expression upon her face, the Goliath returned a glare at the trio of wild boars in the distance, their ivory tusks catching flecks of yellow-orange ambient sunlight. Oddly enough, it was as though she could hear the beasts whispering, wondering why such a motley group of adventurers had entered their domain unannounced. Who could blame them though? The group didn’t belong there, but it was all a big game nevertheless, and so there they were, trespassing on lands that should have been left to the wilds.
As the boars vanished into the thick woodlands, Vah’lux sighed, allowing the afternoon breeze to melt away the beaded sweat along her brow, cooling her massive body in the process. On the one hand, an animal hunt would be quite favorable considering the weather conditions, wondering what the meat may taste like from a land so far away from her own. However, she suspected there would be no real food aside from their rations until their quest was completed and they had returned to the human village. But there were no guarantees in the unknown.
The woman narrowed her eyes as she continued to survey the area for anything further that may be lurking in the shadows and otherwise, following the lead of the human Paladin towards the field...
