Their small band had arrived in a forest of sunshine and magic, or so it seemed. The particles floating through the early spring sun were like twinkling fairies, the beds of flowers their homes and the forest they stood in their land. Well, it wouldn't be the fairies' for much longer. Chusi stared at the trees, the clearings and decided somewhat selfishly that this is the place she wanted them to settle. But she wasn't one to force her will onto anyone. She wanted their comments too - especially Arrille had to like it here, for he was perhaps the closest friend she had right now.

Ey, ya guys - whatcha think 'bout this place? Any good? She asked, wonder filling her tone, clearly admiring the place they had stumbled upon.

She smiled back at Arrille. She had not expected her friend to go along with her crazily ambitious idea, but here they were. Perhaps better than ever. To get out of the shitshow that was Grimnismal and the tension that came from being so close to Drageda might have been the best idea she had had in a while, but she still had to see.

She raised her brows at Koji then, surprised she hadn't thought of that herself. O'course. She said, somewhat in aw. Ya know much 'bout herd patterns? She asked him, noting only a small portion of her training had been about food and where to find it. Ravensblood Forest had a lively community of critters and she remembered a herd nearby, but she had never really been interested. Guess that was going to bite her in the butt now.

Lastly she turned to Kyera, perhaps the nicest girl Chusi knew. She seemed pretty down to earth and okay with a lot of Chusi's seemingly strange ideas. We should get sum borders up too if we gonn' stay here. She added. A good defense was the best offense in her book, and the locals of the Tuktu should know there was a new Sherif in town. 'n anyone gud at mappin' out the area?

She nearly glowed like a proud lightning bug when all the skills of her team were brought to the table. They had a tracker, a somewhat scout (though she wouldn't mind scouting out the area a bit herself) and even a plant identifier. They were definitely great assets to what Chusi was trying to start with them, no matter their youth, limitations or other things that might hold them back. As long as they stuck together, nothing could go wrong on the field of someone not doing anything!

Dun't go too far, Arrille. We dunnow what kinda wolves might live 'ere. If ya find any trouble, just come back asap, kay? She said to him sweetly, clearly just worried for him and the group.

That's sow cool Koji! Mind meh taggin' along? I wanna learn. She asked hopeful, ocher eyes glimmering with wonder.

Ya too Kyera! y'all, I have so much to learn from ya. But imma good fightah if anyone wants some sparrin'. She was proud of her warrior status, perhaps more than of her scout one.

Oh she worried alright. He had already been marked by some other thing and she would hate for anything more to happen to him. He had gone through enough, she believed, not noticing that she had gone through some pretty messed up stuff as well and was feeling rather alright - safe for the grief of her family and her long lost loverboy that was still on the coast.

Mah feet are burnin' ta explore a bit. I'll catch up later. She chipped to the charmer, a smile settling on her pointy features. She nodded to dismiss Arrille and Kyera, not knowing she'd never see the nice female again most likely.
