Well, then, she'd just keep an eye out for anything that could be gathered. Someone would find use in it. "That's why I'm with you - as I am a blade..." a one that, for Kiki, was hard-earned, "We can probably go far enough to find something nice." Kiki didn't venture too far beyond Zinris herself - it was dangerous here. When she wasn't alone, however, she was much more brave.
"It really is." Kiki said, "I've been out often enough, but there are things further out on the island that we need to know about." Actually, they might run into earthlings. That would be... unnerving, to be sure. Kiki had heard that the earthlings of this island's eyes glowed... creepy.
"Other than what we're here for, anything you want to try to find?"

"Good call." Medicine was always needed. Warriors they were, and thus they would get wounded. In Yael's toxic land, a wound could be fatal without medicine. "Isn't everything in Yael kind of a body of water? Mud, but water..." Then again, the Elaria wouldn't know that other lands were different, that in the Tale mud did not lie thick and stinking on every part of the ground, or that it hardly rained in Sauti.
"I know what you mean, though - if we keep going this way, we should come across a pond, and beyond that, the river that feeds it during the monsoons."
Which were a season. Kiki had recorded it's start and stop dates every year, and she knew when it was, and what it did to the ground and soil and animals.

"Well, both of them welcomed me here when I arrived. Lumikani spoke up for me, and Zandala helped me fit in with the others..." Kiki had come a long way from that, though the past wasn't as far off as she might have liked. "They've always been... strong women, willing to offer a hand to a Sister when no one else would. They stick to their convictions, and will not be shaken." She smiled at Lumikani, "I don't don't think that has changed."
"Well, being wet isn't a bad thing, exactly..." Kiki said, backtracking, "It's just... a different kind of wet. You should definitely visit the mainland, though - it's a beautiful place. Especially... Jauhar." Chibale was a different kind of pretty.

“Sounds like my moms.” Kanika smiled, she loved hearing about them. She wanted to be exactly like that. Loyal to her sisters, always lending a hand to those who were in need, all the while being strong. Kanika swore she would stick to her own convictions, as she had with Niva, and she would be unshakable in those beliefs.
“I plan on it,” Kanika said with a nod of her head. “We need to see firsthand what is out there, it’s nice that the alkidikes want to always tell us how it is, but there’s nothing like touching and feeling it on your own.” Kanika paused. “Sorry, your alkidike too. It’s just a bit frustrating sometimes.” Hopefully she hadn’t offended her.

"I understand - don't worry. But..." Kiki's voice grew wistful, or perhaps a little pained. "Jauhar is a long way away. There is so much between there and here; the desert, the plains, the mountains..." And of course, the jungle itself. Would they ever be allowed back to Chibale, even? Ever? If not, then the word of the Alkidikes would be all that the Elaria had to know Aisha. Maybe her word would be enough...
Her feet squished softly into mud - the sort that hinted at water running deep within. She paused, crouching. "We're nearly there. Keep an ear out - we don't know what else might be seeking water." she whispered, stalking forward cautiously. There might, after all, be something that would consider them edible.
