"It's a trait."*He stated with a shrug at the Macen.*"Some get used to it, some don't, but hey that's just sarcasm at its finest."*Terrel turned to the horse's saddle bag and opened up to take out a few cooking utensils from it while his horse looked between him and the Aize lazily.*

"When things are all said and done, I like to find the humor in them."*He said, glancing back towards the Macen.*"Think of it as a relief to what goes on around you. Or don't, no need to take a pig man's word for it or rather just a man's word for it since you've figured it out."*Terrel said the last part with an incline of his head before he eventually closed up the saddle bag, having gathered what he needed.*

"Since meat isnt an option right now how about a nice vegetable soup, if you give me the ingredients i can make one for us. All id need is an assortment of vegetables like potato carrots onions celery and seasonings, oh an water. I can make a very nice vegetable soup."

*He starts gathering sticks and dry grass to make a fire with as he talks, he also gathers a few stones along with the kindling.*
Robert
"Sounds intricate."*Terrel said as he reached back into the saddlebag to take out the vegetables and spices Aize had requested. He reached in to grab a leather pouch, a sloshing noise coming from within it to signify the liquid it carried. He eventually closed the pouch, bring the items over to the Macen.*

"I got, potatoes, carrots, onions, and some seasonings."*He says, placing the objects down as he named them.*"And a little bit of water if you can make do with that."
Phillip
"This is plenty thank you, now all we need to do is set up the cooking equipment then i can start cooking. Also it isnt that complicated its just alchemy, you mix ingredients together to make a reaction happen its no different then making medicine."

*As he says this he puts all the rocks he gathered in a circle and removes the grass from around the rocks as to prevent the fire from spreading, he then sets up a few twigs to act as the support to hold the pot above the fire to make the food. After this he puts the kindling in the rock circle ready to light ablaze.*

"Alright its all ready, now we just need the pot and a way to light the fire and i can begin cooking, do you have flint or glass or a bow?"
Robert
*He rose a finger before pointing it towards Aize as he mentioned the soup not being that complicated.*"Sarcasm."*He said with a cheesy grin, before turning away from the Macen. His horse had laid down where it once stood, seeing that they were going to be stopping for a bit to eat. Meanwhile, his Furrow had begun making progress, climbing up his ruffled strands of hair and making its way to the top of his head to gain new height. It began letting out a few chirpish like noises as it sat there.

Terrel walked around the opposite side of his horse and kneeled down to grab a piece of flint from the saddle bag on the opposite side before rearing his arm back to throw it over to the Macen.*"Here."
Phillip
"Ah my mistake i didnt realize it was sarcasm and thank you my good sir i shall now begin preparing the food."

*Aize used the flint on the pot to make a few sparks which then went down into the dry grass and twigs, as they did aize blew a bit into the now smoking dry grass and it lit ablaze. After the fire got going aize poured the water from the pouch into the pot to let it begin boiling. Aize began inspecting the vegetables and nodded for a moment he then sat up and walked away for a moment coming back with a relatively flat rock and he then sat it down by the area with the vegetables, he dusted the rock off making sure it wasnt dirty the best he could, and then he began chopping the vegetables up on the cutting rock. He would toss in the vegetables in once they were thoroughly diced, and once he was done adding in the vegetables he added in a few spices like pepper and salt, he stirred the pot about every 5 minutes and adding in kindling to keep the fire going and in about 50 minutes the soup would finish cooking.*

"It's the subtleness that always catches them off guard."*Terrel gave his horse a pat on his head before walking over to the small cooking area and taking a seat some distance away from it. He grabbed the Furrow off the top of his head and placed him down his lap, gently patting its back as the Furrow tried to scramble along his leg in haste. The Elf smiled down at the bird-like animal while it tried biting at his gloved finger with little success.

He leaned back, using one arm to keep him hoisted while he waited for the Macen to finish making the Vegetable soup. A light meal for the both of them, though still there was a while of traveling ahead of them before he made it to the next town to see what jobs or ridiculous tales were there, though part of him doubted the mad scientist planned on following for much longer, perhaps it just depended on how long it took him to learn.*
Phillip
*After a little wait the soup finally finishes cooking and its smell wafts through the air its a subtle smell of vegetables with a slight scent of salt mixed in it. And as it finishes cooking aize fills two bowls and gives one to terrel as aize takes a seat beside him as he enjoys his soup.*

"I am curious what is it that you hope to achieve what are your goals for yourself, is it fame riches power woman peace chaos, or perhaphs yuu just enjoy the adventure of traveling and fighting, if you dont wanna answer me its fine, i just felt it might make a good conversation while we ate."
Robert
*Terrel lifted the bowl up and took a long, drawn out sip from it before lowering it away from his mouth. He snorted at the Macen's question.*"A few of those things carry interest, but no it's not one of my main goals."*The Elf relaxed and rested his half eaten bowl on the ground, providing opportunity to the Furrow as it quickly scrambled off his lap towards the food.*

"But I enjoy the combat, it's something I'd never get to do back at home and sword fighting... Well, I always wondered how good I could get with just a blade and a long road to travel."*He held his palm out, holding it upright as a red glow began to emanate from it.*"Most other Elves are accustomed to using magic, but I'd figure there's more to fighting than just natural ability."*He closes his hand around the glow, putting the light out.*

"If I trained hard enough to a way of combat that I'd never get to use otherwise, who knows how far I could get."*He said with shrug before finally looking over to the Macen.*"I'm already out here now with nothing more than a mask to my name, but hey that's enough of me for now. Not many would take a pig man seriously."*Terrel brushed at the side of his cheek where he had been punched, irritation rising from the touch though instead of reacting, he merely grinned.*"I'd like to show them otherwise."
Phillip
*As terrel spoke aize drank his soup and listened to him, and when terrel finished speaking aize put his bowl down beside him and then began to speak himself.*

"Thats quite the interesting goal and one i have many ways to assist with but we can discuss that later, i respect you for taking a path that is harder out of curiosity and a chance to do something new. That is a goal any scientist should understand since thats one of the core aspects of science trying something new even when its harder compared to another path."

*He picks up his bowl of soup and takes a sip before setting it right back down and continuing with what he was saying.*

"I do wish you luck on your path to try and become a great swordsman i think you will accomplish it in time, but i wanna suggest you learn to fight without a weapon aswell as with a sword, you never know when you will be in a fight with no weapons, and id hate for all your work to be snuffed out just cause you couldnt use a sword."

*As he finished speaking he finished his bowl of soup off and set the bowl down beside him letting out a burp* "Excuse me that was quite rude"
Robert
"You make a valid point."*He said.*"I don't usually work on hand to hand combat, but I'm sure that was obvious."*He reached over to grab the soup sitting next to him, only to find that the Furrow had fallen in and was swimming around helplessly. Terrel grabbed it by its tail and placed in it the grass, deciding that maybe it was best not to eat the soup after the Furrow has basically bathed in it.

Terrel poured was left out, reaching down to give the Furrow a small stroke before he even fully stood back up. As Aize had let out the burp and quickly apologized for it, Terrel balled his hand into a fist before giving a single beat to his chest and letting out a belch.*"Never apologize about table manners to a pig of all things."*He said, swiftly turning away from the Macen as his cloak dragged behind him while he made his way back to his horse. 

The Furrow quickly hopped up and climbed up his cloak as he passed by and, upon the Elf's approach, his horse had begun to get back up to its feet to ready for departure.*"Now let's go before we run out of daylight. Next town is still a ways from here."
