[finally.

as if waking up a total wreck after that night of drinking hadn't been bad enough, right? yuri may have gotten the better deal of the two, but it wasn't really all that good. but then couple that with getting dropped in the jungle mid-recovery and flynn's tendency to have to run ahead and be a white knight, and now more than 24 hours have passed and they've barely spoken a word to each other.

not that yuri has much reason to thing it'd go poorly after the way flynn reacted to their late-night endeavor the previous morning, it's all but out of his mind already. things are fine, right? they both accepted what happened and they'd just move on. minimal yelling from flynn and even less pearl-clutching isn't something he'd about to take for granted, after all. let the topic drop; weird as his reaction had been... it's just better that way.]

Ugh... [still, waking up after sleeping on the ground in a vast jungle isn't the follow-up he wanted. he sits up, running a hand through his tangled, disheveled hair, and looks around. he's definitely groggy, but it's not like there will be any coffee to help with that.] I remember the part I don't miss about leaving cities. What I wouldn't do for an inn right now...

[it doesn't matter whether or not flynn is awake or listening, since repede is lounging beside him. that's good enough, even if the pooch doesn't care—he doesn't get those luxuries even at inns most of the time, after all.]

Comments

Yeah, can't say I found much else either. For now, we probably should stray too far from the rest. It seems like a lot of us are here, we may be able to cover some ground if we're careful.

[he's not all that interested in just teaming up with anyone, and a group of 100+ people seems more like herding cattle than actually making progress.

before he can say much else, repede appears from some of the foliage—it's probably tough to say whether that timing is convenient, or if repede intentionally waited while his owners sorted out their issues, but there he is, ready to... not stick around and wait any longer. even the dog is silently saying "let's go" at this point.]

[thatdamnknight]

[two of th-- ah, three of them, as the dog walking by reminds him, ought to be more than enough to get things done. everyone else has their own problems to worry about so no need to involve more people than this.]

Yeah, I agree, though we should find a place to set up camp prior to searching around. [flynn stands, allowing himself a casual stretch that wouldn't have been nearly as permissible around anyone else.] It shouldn't be too difficult to make some simple housing, possibly some makeshift weapons, too.

[between aurnion and knightly training, they'll be set. chances are he could even get a solid fire going despite the less than desirable environment for it. yeah, it won't be too bad out here. the worst of it is just the oppressive air, air that seems to be getting more and more difficult to breathe.

a slightly apologetic smile comes from flynn's end toward repede. they may have overdone it a little today and the one who suffered for it was their third companion. a mental note gets made to give repede an extra good belly rubbing later as an apology.]

Sorry for the delay, Repede.

[fatalstriker]

Maybe, but we don't know if we're gonna be sticking to one area yet. Better off seeing if we can get out of one area before we start setting up shop.

[it's obviously not an issue to yuri about being able to set up camp. he knows that flynn could probably build a whole city if he really wanted to... but it doesn't necessarily seem like the best idea right now.

not until they have a better idea of what's going on. if the group ends up moving in their efforts to find... well, anything resembling civilization, they could just be setting themselves for a whole lot of work for no good reason. especially considering repede doesn't seem to have anything useful to report back; he's just waiting for the two idiot now.]

[thatdamnknight]

[hmmm fair point. they are weaponless, but getting a look around really could be beneficial in the long run. flynn considers the option momentarily before nodding.]

All right.

[exploring a little first can have its perks. repede has his weapon, flynn himself has his magical artes and yuri, even without sword, can still handle himself. no matter the danger, they ought to be fine. it IS them, after all.]

Let's get going, then.
