Void Rift (rp) - Intermission

"Sorry, Eklir, but I need to go make some peace."
I say, turning to him then turning back to Aral'hrah.
"Well? Can you?"

 

The trio remain silent.
"Sure, but be quick. If you can."

 

"There's still two, but I'll be as fast as I can. Between Zarh'ghal and Valn'lara, which one's closer and where are they?"
I ask quickly.

 

"They're both outskirt tribes. I would get your mantis here first."

 

"I can get a mantis here, it's not like I control them. I'm on it, though."
I say, quickly jogging off to Mantis territory.

 

Again, no interruptions this time.
Except, you run into the Matriarch collecting berries for even more dyes in the middle of the forest. She jumps a bit when she notices you.
"Shhh, you saw nothing! They think I'm taking a nap!" She whispers.

 

"If you say so."
I oblige.

 

"Why are you back? You seem to come and go as you have something on your mind." She asks, still whispering and checking her surroundings periodically.

 

"I come bearing news, as I usually do."
I say, toning my voice down.
"Have you any plans yet? The Aral'hrah tribe seems to be with you for the most part, and we're getting to the alliance of Akli'il tribe as we speak, but it may take about two weeks."

 

"If they can really work with us, then I want to see it first. Orchid and a few others seem a little less discriminative towards the raptors, why don't you go take them with you? If my guard resists, just say 'Mural' and they'll do it anyways."

 

"Alright. Where should Orchid be?"

 

"Just go over to my residence and request that Orchid, Faelah, and Kuno follow you outside our home."

 

"Will do. Be safe."
I say, jogging off towards the vine structure.

 

Orchid's on duty.
"Oh, hey. Is it...?" She asks.

 

"It is Thirteen. I have come to ask favors of you, Faelah, and Kuno."
I say, slowing my pace drastically.

 

Orchid nods.
"I've been notified ahead of time. We will meet you back at the border, where we had left you the limbs of our disgraced."

 

"Alright. I'll be waiting."
I say, walking over to the location.

 

Five minutes later, Orchid and the two others approach the meeting point.
"Hey, Thirteen! These are my partners, Faelah and Kuno."
"Nice to meet you, artificial." Faelah says, holding out her hand for a handshake.
"Nothing like an outsider to help mediate." Kuno comments.

 

"It's nice to meet you two."
I say, shaking Faelah's hand.

 

"So, we're off to meet some less-bloodthirty raptors?" Orchid asks.
Faelah nods, half-bowing as she shakes your hand.
"Same." Kuno says.
