For the Map Group: After taking down the assassin, morale is teetering and everyone is weary. At least you've finally reached the village, which doesn't look at all how you might have imagined it: everything is bright and tidy, and the smoke you'd seen from afar had been nothing more than the bakery's chimney. As you enter the town, you notice there are people walking around, seemingly oblivious to the carnage in the canyon.

For the Compass Group: You're tired of walking. There's a long stretch of orc and corpse-free land, and it would be a perfect spot to camp. After the beating you endured in the caves, there's no way you could keep going without taking a break.

[ mission: rest and recuperate. ]

[and here they walk in looking like they've crawled fresh out of purgatory]

Oh thank god...

[scantilyclad]

Do not thank god, girl. Thank yourself. 'Twas your bow that felled the assassin.

[ checking the compass, and looking at ruby over the top of it now and again.

not looking too hot over there. ]

[scantilyclad]

As is always the case, when one is dealing with assassins. But I am hungry, and there are better things to be thinking about.

[ heads towards the bakery ]

[crotchbite]

I've been through worse. [ rummaging through her bag to get the last rum bottle she stole :( the booze oh no ] How are you feeling?

[butgrandma]

I'll soldier on.

[this place is wacky and traumatizing at every turn but she doesn't want to be the slowbus that holds everyone up]

[gets up and wipes dirt off her pants to go sit next to hel]

Let me help you with that.

[crotchbite]

You'll soldier on, huh? [ yes you definitely look like a soldier on type of person

mhmm. ]

Are you sure? [ because it's not just a scratch
it's a gross orc bite. ]

[butgrandma]

You were hurt protecting us...me.

[awkwardpants. she was really the only one aside from belle that wasn't jumping into the fray]

[she boiled some water over their campfire earlier so that they could clean up a little, so she'll just go retrieve a warm clean rag and sit back down]

So it's the least I can do, right? Make myself useful.

[holds hot rag and waves for her to give her her arm]

[scantilyclad]

If you must.

[ she isn't paying for your food. ]

[crotchbite]

I was hurt because we were tricked and ambushed. [ watched her go grab the rag and then pulls off shirt

pinuply.

looks at dirty shirt. she wants a shower sssso bad. ]

You're useful. [ oh well. gives arm ] With your nose and all.

[jiffles]

[ shalalalaa. brooding away from everybody. ]

[ can we just forget that. ever happened. ]

[butgrandma]

I know, it's just-

[she's been over this before with emma and all of them. emma seems to think she's capable of anything but ruby still isn't convinced]

-it's nothing.

[smiles reassuringly but blinks when she deshirts and quietly presses her lips together. could have just rolled up your sleeve but that..that works]
[touches rag to the cut and gently cleans up around the edges]

[crotchbite]

[ no ]

[scantilyclad]

[ turns and looks at nick. and hook. ]

[ breathes out through her teeth. ]

One meal.
