Initially, Engage To Heal had wanted nothing to do with the festival his Acha ally had described to him. His mind had immediately gone to everything that could go wrong, and as for the tribe Fury was involved in -- he wasn't ready for that type of environment just yet. Instead, he'd taken her up on the suggestion to seek out firewood to keep the bonfire going, picking past throngs of cheerful, celebrating kin to more secluded ground, beginning his search.
Despite the Kio's large frame, and how utterly different the Swamp was from the plains he'd called his home, he moved quietly and cautiously through the mire. Even as his eyes scanned for pieces of viable firewood, there was an underlying tension to his muscles, ears ever-alert for the sound of any disturbance that might require some quick dealing with.

With a splash like that, it was hard not to grab some attention. Engage To Heal was immediately on the defensive, swiveling to find the source of the sound and startling at the sight of the other Kiokote just a little ways away. He shook his head and when he opened his eyes, she was still there. It was hard to say whether that was reassuring or not, but he hesitated for only a moment before beginning his approach, ears laid flat back.
"Firewood?" he questioned, hoping she'd get what he was trying to ask -- he could only assume she was involved in the festival also. He carried some kindling on his back, obviously put to the same task, but at the last second the buck's hoof stepped into a puddle far deeper than it looked. Caught by surprise, his body lurched and sent the wood tumbling into it.
At that, he could only snarl in frustration. It seemed both Kiokotes were having some difficulty with this terrain!

The doe's stuttering was not lost on Engage To Heal. She was clearly fearful, though whether it was of him specifically, or just timid in general, he couldn't know. He only watched her carefully as she moved towards a promising piece of wood, then, grunting in assent, the buck moved to join her in hefting the heavy piece back.
While he hadn't expected nor wanted to work with another kin, Engage To Heal could at least find this doe agreeable. Of course, he wasn't so quickly put to ease, but he at least felt safe enough to focus more on the task than any danger she might present -- clearly none at all.
Taking only a moment to decide the best way to carry this back, he then nosed his way under one side of the log, until part of it was laid across his shoulders. Nodding to the other side of the lopsided log, he directed, "There. We walk together." So long as they kept it balanced between the two of them, their mouths would be free to pick up any more pieces of wood. Speaking of... Engage To Heal glanced away for a moment, spotting more fallen logs nearby, but by the looks of them, they were far too wet to be of any use.
He grumbled a little at that, but waited patiently for the doe.

While her speech might not have been the most confident, the doe's steps were sure-footed as any Kio's, and Engage To Heal was satisfied. With their pace set, he could refocus back onto their task, eyes darting around for any viable kindling again as well as, instinctively, any threats the swamp might pose. After all, they were in a bit of an awkward position should fast action be required.
Introductions completely slipped Engage To Heal's mind -- but, didn't such pleasantries always slip his mind nowadays? He glanced at Foolproof on her side of the log, not far at all really, and quickly looked away with a snort that might almost have been amused. The name seemed appropriate. Fool had become a familiar nickname to him, when he'd refused to give his actual name, just as he did now.
"Ah—I don't think so," the buck answered, not unkindly. It was possible that she might even mistake that dismissal as his name, I Don't Think So, but anything was preferable to uttering the name he'd come to resent. Engage To Heal simply carried on, spotting a tree with a low-hanging branch and giving a quick nod towards it before guiding them towards it.
He managed to snap it off cleanly with his teeth, taking care to keep the log still balanced across his tensed shoulders as he reached up. Provided Foolproof wanted to talk any more, Engage To Heal could probably try talking around the branch now in his mouth. As if his voice didn't already sound garbled enough with his gravelly tone!

Engage To Heal was surprised by the sudden burst of determination from the timid doe. She looked like she had the right idea, though he had to keep himself from warning Foolproof not to overburden herself, the log digging into his shoulders an ever-present reminder. Still, she was proving herself to be a useful companion, leading them straight to another good piece. He hesitated a moment, then craned his beck to place the branch he'd already collected onto his back as well, before picking up the next one. When it came down to it, it just felt good digging this teeth into the bark.
Between the two of them, they had collected a good amount of firewood. They could probably head back to the festival now, but the thought of it still gave Engage To Heal a stab of dread. Among the throngs of kin gathered around the bonfire, he would catch glimpses of phantoms -- kin who he knew were meant to be dead, only to reveal themselves as strangers, a trick of the dancing firelight, driving him into the relative isolation of the Swamp again. However, he could not help but wonder about Foolproof. Engage To Heal had not allowed himself to meet many Kiokote in the Swamp, of the already very few tenuous relations he did have. This felt like an opportunity, though for what, he wasn't sure.
"Did you come from the Plains?" he rumbled out what must have seemed like a non-sequitur between the pauses of their sparse words. It was not a topic he himself liked to discuss, at the risk of dredging up bad memories (that were always present anyway), but it was a question he felt a yes or no would suffice, and what he expected from his just-as-quiet companion anyway.

Chibi_Kokoro143 Oh hey, I re-calculated my points and it turns out I have enough. I don't know where you're at with points, but in case we both have enough, did you want to continue with the RP once we finish rolls? |
