Tseth: He nods in agreement with Juni. "Yeah. The sooner we're out of this forest, the better." He starts following Rhiv back through the forest.
Alex: I guess I'll explain school, too. Still can't believe he doesn't know what it is. "Well- it's a place where kids learn things. Most kids go to school where we're from, though every species has a different way of teaching."

Resh: He nods and follows Rhiv and Tseth, still holding Juni’s hand.
Juni: She stays close to Resh, holding his hand with both of her hands.

Salmook: he leans forwards onto his elbows, interested. "But can't they learn from their parents? Pater teached me everything I know, and I know a LOT. I bet he knows even more, and he hasn't told me yet."
Rhiv: he grimaces as he walks on. now that the adrenaline's wearing off, he feels sore all over. maybe some sleep would be nice? NO. keep walking. the added weight of his loot isn't helping, but hell, what's a battle without any trophy-taking? he powers on shakily, tracking the path they took to get here. just when he feels that he's about to pass out, he hears Salmook's voice up ahead. they're close.
language
Tseth: He watches Rhiv as he walks. He looks pretty beaten up. "Perhaps we should rest for a bit before we keep moving." He says this as a general statement, but he glances at Rhiv again after he says it.
Alex: He looks up at the sky for a moment. "Well, yeah. I learned a bit from my parents too. But school was like… a place where you can learn things parents can't teach. Some things are too difficult to teach themselves, or things they never learned." He thinks for a bit. "My father taught me a bit how to fight- but I had to learn light magic in a type of school. No one in my family knew it to teach me."

Beatrice: she just stands there, MENACINGLY

Resh: He looks over at Rhiv. He looks like he’s about to collapse any minute. “Yeah, that’s a good idea.”
Parvus: He goes silent as he falls asleep, curled up into a tight ball.
pets
Salmook: he takes a minute or so to think about that. is there anything Pater doesn't know? Salmook doubts that.
"Well, Pater never-ever-ever said anything about school. He says I know just enough and that's ok."
he smiles a little at his drawing of… a graveyard with floor-mouths. "Done!"
Rhiv: now you've done it, you creaky old bone. FIX IT. he takes a deep breath and stretches, cracking his back. "I'm fine."
he's muttering. not convincing enough. FIX. IT. "I'm fine!" he turns and pretty much snaps at Resh and Tseth, his chest heaving.
"I'm fine, and I don't need to rest, and I can walk on my own." he stands there sweating and seething. And then he faints.

Tseth: He looks surprised at Rhiv's sudden outburst before he collapses. "Interesting last words before passing out." He carefully puts the sleeping Parvus in one of his pockets, before walking over to Rhiv and hoisting him over his shoulder easily. He looks back at Resh and Juni. "Let's keep moving, then."
Alex: "If that's what he says." He looks at Salmook's drawing, trying to understand it. He points to one of the floor-mouths. "What are these supposed to be?"
public
Resh: He rolls his eyes at Rhiv, then looks at Tseth and nods.
Juni: She stifles a laugh at Tseth carrying Rhiv like a sack of potatoes, then nods with Resh. “Yeah-“
Parvus: He stirs and chitters a little bit, before quickly settling back down.
pets
Rhiv: he's generally just being an unconscious body.
Salmook: he looks up at the sky as if thinking of the best way to word it. "It's… they're snappies. Those are scaries, too. You think it's all safe and then BOOM!" he points at the middle of the floor-mouth. "If you step in the middle, it bites you. Really hard!"
language
Alex: A look of realization crosses his face as Salmook speaks. "Ohh. Traps. We don't really use those in wasteland. Yeah, they're dangerous." I guess neither of us meant a literal graveyard. I thought he did-
public
Resh: He sees Alex and Salmook up ahead, and speeds up his pace. He soon gets within earshot. “We’re back. Juni’s safe, can’t say the same for the people that kidnapped her. Also, Rhiv passed out on our way back.”
pets
Salmook: he looks up at the sound of Resh's voice, and… HOLY STICKS- what happened to Pater?! Salmook is on his feet in a heartbeat and right in front of Tseth in another. "Pater! What happened to- Pater! Wake up!"
Resh's words finally sink in. Pater… passed out? Why?! the lower half of Rhiv's pants are soaked with blood, but it's hard to tell whose. Salmook looks over to Alex. "P- Pater's going to be okay, right?"

Tseth: He nearly runs into Salmook when he gets in front of him. Luckily, he didn't. He places Rhiv back on the ground. "Don't worry about the blood. It's not his. I think."
Alex: He looks relieved seeing Tseth back, but it's quickly replaced by concern at seeing Rhiv. "I'm sure he will be, but if he's just passed out, I can't wake him up with anything. He'll need to do that on his own."

Juni: She watches the others for a few moments, then climbs up a tree and just kind of chills there.
Resh: “Oh- the little fuck got kicked, I think. The little dragon, not the furry little fuck.”
Juni: “Have you ever considered just remembering their names?”
Resh: “Nope.”
