[caverncity]

You've spent one day at rest in the mountain. You can have two more if you need them, but that might not be wise, seeing as you actually have the chance for a head start. Your call, travelers.

While you're deciding, the cavern dwellers are still quite hospitable. Some of you may even be given gifts; best not to lose those any time soon. The road ahead may be darker than you've yet seen.

[ mission: decide when to move on. optional: butter up a local, maybe get cool swag. ]

...Or over it.

[ reaches over and kind of rearranges the scarf so he can see her features. ]

And yeah. I'm pretty surprised you see things that way. Most people...not so open to accepting what isn't exactly human.

[pareidoll]

[tries to adjust it so that it sits right. not a fan of this look, but it would have been useful for the desert]

Everything should deserve a chance, you never know when something might surprise you in a good way.

[dalek.granted SHES MADE SO MANY MISTAKES WITH THIS PHILOSOPHY.]

Though I think now days, I've taken to more of a gut instinct.

[thisbites]

What does your gut tell you about me?

[ is he flirting. ]

[ might be flirting. ]

[pareidoll]

[whatabouturgirrrrl]

You pass the test for credibility, but there's something else up your sleeve.

[tilts head with a quirked eyebrow]

And you want something.

[thisbites]

You're right to trust your instinct.

[ leans back a little. ]

I want to help you lead this group out of the mountain tomorrow.

[pareidoll]

[thats what i tohught.]

With that face and that ass, you're welcome to do anything you want, darling.

[sorry that was long overdue, now it's out of her system]

What did you have in mind?

[thisbites]

[ excuse him he's just going to be a little

flustered for a second here. not used to them coming on so strong. ]

[ gets his sentence going on the third try. ]

If I tell you, will you swear to keep it to yourself? You can't tell that Sam guy, or his brother.

[pareidoll]

[worth it]

[eyes him like there's really only one reason why she'd be keeping something from them]

[she's just collecting secrets, isn't she.]

I won't unless it becomes a problem, you understand, right?

[nothing personal, group security, etc]

[thisbites]

It's not a problem. I won't be a problem.

[ checks their surrounds to make sure no one else is going to happen to see this. ]

[thisbites]

[ a bit of glow for you clara. ]

I can see, hear, and smell things that none of the rest of you can see, hear, or smell. I can help us find the path out.

[pareidoll]

[whoa dude]

[slightly mesmerized for a moment]

Aha..um. Right. Brilliant...

[thisbites]

[ looks her in the eye, not blinking. ]

So.

[ red glow fades back to just normal, sparkly green eyes. ]

You'll let me lead with you?

[pareidoll]

[takes a moment before nodding]

I don't see why not. Never thought it should be a one woman show anyway.

[thisbites]

[ yeah. he can handle co-captains. ]

Then first order of business, we need to move on soon. Tomorrow? We've all had a chance to sleep and recover.

[ a thought! he's having one. ]

And those guys won't have any way to find us if we're still stuck in this mountain for much longer. They could already be waiting at the next stop on the map.

[pareidoll]

[dont forget sam is also apart of this in some way]

It's been difficult telling how long we've been here. The sooner we leave the better, honestly.

[thisbites]

One full day, and two nights. We're on the second morning.

[ tied to the moon. you're welcome. ]

But why lose a headstart when you've got one?

[ he has a plan for sam. ]

[pareidoll]

[u better play nice]

It's not like that.
