*The Elf would follow after him, his horse being tugged along while the Wolf pup would walk at his heels. With each time they'd turn, Terrel would try to make note of it in the event of him having to make his way back to the main path. Occasionally he'd notice one of the chipped trees, seeing them pop up more and more as he continued to lead him to his camp. Only when the Oni began speaking again, would Terrel eventually turn his head to look towards him. He'd listen to him speak about experience on the island, being told he had to fight there. Maybe Terrel could put together quite literal pieces of the story. He mentioned hiding away from Elves earlier or something of the sort. Perhaps he could figure out their business in it.*"Who made Goro fight...?"*He'd begin slowly, knowing full well it was probably a sensitive topic for the Oni.*
Jesse
*The Oni would continue walking and following the marked path. Taking another moment to think after the Elf questioned him* "Many.." *He'd struggle with his words but recall some from his past.* "Tu.. Per?" *He'd add on, As the two walked the trees would grow more and more spread out than the dense forest they were in prior.*"That.. Goro heard on island" *He'd say as the ground became more uneven as they reached the base of the mountain he called home.* 

*The Oni would begin crossing a small open field, A large cave opening up ahead. As they grew closer, More signs of life would begin to pop up- small half destroyed crates, a sleeping mat and even a few branches propped up near the entrance*
Paul
*TuPer. Well that didn't seem to narrow it down any. He wasn't even sure if that was specifically a name or a group of people. If it was just going based on what he heard however, that word could have applied for many things.*"Why... They want Goro to fight?"*He'd decide to ask instead. Hopefully those would give better detail. Terrel looked around the forest as they came closer and closer to the 'big rock' Goro had mentioned before. It seemed that it was cave he meant which Terrel could only consider was close enough to what he said. He'd take notice of the different crates and other objects that would suggest someone staying out here. He supposed the Oni wanted to isolate a bit after what happened, but surely it would get boring after a while. Maybe he could ask what he's planning to do out here. Simply trading with whoever came by and surviving out in the forest? Surely there's more to do than that.*
Jesse
*The Oni, reaching the cave would take the pouch out from his shoulder pad and toss it into one of the boxes near the mat and the remaining rabbits and sticks into another box a little further back, Taking a seat just infront of the caves entrance, The inside not completely dark but a few spots further back dripping with what could only be assumed water.* "Money.. They all watch" *He'd say with a sigh, Looking up at the elf.*

"Goro.. Stayed inside small ship.. Daytime." *He'd say reluctantly, His face showing that he was really trying to think of what to say next.* "Would fight when dark.. Otherwise hurt." *As he finished his sentence, He'd reach up with his right hand and slap it down onto his left shoulders tattoos.* "They did this to Goro.." *He'd say while rubbing it lightly.* "They kept Goro for.. Long time.. Wanted to keep longer.." *As he sat there, He'd watch the elf and his animal companions.*
Paul
*Terrel would walk up to the cave entrance, watching Goro reach inside for something before taking a seat just at the entry way. Deciding to follow suit, Terrel would find a place to sit down at near the base of the cave, giving space to the Oni while still allowing the Elf to face him. His horse would wander a bit, finding a small patch of grass to graze at while his wolf would slowly walk over to him and rest his head on his lap in seeing them not going anywhere.

Terrel would listen to him explain why they had him fight, drawing down to the conclusion that he was a pit fighter of sorts, having to fight for either entertainment or maybe assassination of others in a way. Whatever it was, he didn't seem to like it and going against what they said only seemed to injure him in the process. The Elf's gaze would travel over to the tattoos, hearing him struggle a bit to get the last part of info out properly. Giving a brief shake of his head, he'd decide to ask:*"Why make Goro fight?"*The Elf would decide to speak slower so as not to have so many pauses between his words.*"How Goro get caught up in fighting?"
Jesse
*His face a little expressionless, He'd lean his head back against the rock. His hand still rubbing over his inked skin.* "Grew up Tu'perkan.. Island." *He'd say with a slight pause, Glancing over at the elf, believing that's the word he was stuck on earlier.* "Goro taught by man.. Unlike goro red.. Similar to pig.. Trader.. Bad trader." *He'd then lean forward and lift his kanabo off his back, Sitting it on his lap as he inspected it- Parts of it splintering from use, A few metal studs missing and an obvious red tint on both the wood and metal toward the tip.*

"Goro had enough.. Lost track 10 years." *He'd say with a soft grunt.* "Goro took people boat by force and left.."
Paul
*Tu'perkan Island. So that's what it was called. He'd listen to him comment about meeting some trader, most likely elven by the description of him somehow having to do with him ending up in the pits. He'd watch as the man took off his weapon to sit it in his lap, its use obvious with the reddened shade of it. 10 years of fighting before he finally escaped. It was pretty impressive to have decided to after such a large amount of time. Terrel would bring his hand to lightly pat at his wolf.*"Goro spend rest of life trading and living in forest then...?"*Terrel would finally ask. He wasn't sure how old the man already was and it wasn't like the 10 years gave him a proper measure of just how young he was fighting for a decade of his life, but if becoming a forest dweller was what he planned to do, who was Terrel to say otherwise after what he had to put up with?*
Jesse
*The Oni would continue to run his hand up and down the splintering and stained wood of the Kanabo, Taking a little bit of time to reflect and think of what he would do. A little puzzled by the question presented, After a minute of silence he'd finally speak up.* "Goro.. Does not know.." *He'd continue to look down at the kanabo, Twisting off a few of the splinters.* "Goro.. Would like speak more.. Lonely" 

*It seemed he was rattling off his thoughts of uncertainty, Having completed his original goal of escape. He was lost, Not many knew of his existence as he made it that way regretfully.* "Goro.." *He wouldn't finish his sentence as he stared blankly at his weapon.*
Paul
*So he didn't have any plans then. Terrel would rest his hands behind him, leaning back a bit as he'd stare around at the forest that surrounded them. It was peaceful, though one cannot expect to get much interaction out here.*"Goro won't speak much in forest... Only animals and trees to keep company..."*He'd point out.*"More people in Capitols... More to speak to..."*Terrel tried imagining the Oni walking through town in the state he was in now. There was no doubt he'd be a bit intimidating to most. He wasn't even sure if there were any other Oni's around here. It was mostly dwarves as far as he knew.*
Jesse
*He'd let out a sigh, Leaning back against the rock with the kanabo across his lap, Legs crossed.* "Goro.. Doesn't know groups.." *He'd say with a somewhat staggered tone, A little fearful of crowds incase they were the ones who had once wronged him in the past.* "Goro is afraid.." *He added on sheepishly, His tone a little more docile than before. Closing his eyes as he inhaled deep.*

*The peaceful nature of where Goro lived seemed to keep him there, His own attitude adjusting with his long stay.*
Paul
"Goro not afraid of pig man."*Terrel would say before thinking it over a bit. Maybe it wouldn't be the best idea to take a man who's been sitting in isolation into a large crowd of people. Heck, Terrel wasn't much of a crowd person, but at least he interacted with people over the years.*"Goro travel places, meet other travelers on road. Less crowds, more talking to others."*He'd suggest, figuring traveling between the Capitols was much better than going directly through them.*
Jesse
*Taking a moment to process the suggestion given to him, He'd glance over at the pig masked man. He hadn't quite considered the possibility of travel as he felt safe where he was.* "Pig.. Travel?" *The Oni would question the Elf, His now open eyes starting to regain a little hope from his previously defeated state. Sitting up a little.*
Paul
*Terrel would nod in response to his question.*"Pig travels lots. Pig travel for work."*It was something he had grown used to in time, always being on the move in traveling from Capitol to Capitol in order to find work. Perhaps one day he'd consider settling somewhere, but for now, there were always more places to visit, business to settle, and allies to meet up with.*
Jesse
*Goros face would seemingly light up, Full of a new found hope, Given to him by the pig masked elf. The simple suggestion would help shape the Onis mind and determine a future for himself that was previously unknown to him..* "Goro.. Thank pig.." *He'd say with a little break.* "Goro would like travel.." *He'd say with a grin, Scoffing a little as he stretched his arm out a little.*
Paul
*Terrel would nod in recognition to the Oni's gratitude before gazing around at the camp set up. With him seemingly excited at the idea of traveling it was a wonder of how prepared he was for it what with it not seeming like an option to him before.*"Goro should prepare for travel. Traveling take time. Traveling take resources in time."*He'd say, trying to give off the message of needing to make sure he was supplied for it unless he wanted to be in a situation where he'd actually have to go to a Capitol for needed essentials.*
Jesse
*The Oni, Still hopeful and the smile seemingly not fading off his face any time soon would softly nod in response.* "Time.. Alot.. Goro need to learn." *He'd say as he began to stand up, Using the Kanabo to lean against as he got to his feet. Once up he'd walk into the cave and search through some of the boxes, Seemingly in search of something.*
Paul
*Terrel would slowly stand up, allowing his wolf the chance to get up as well as he'd watch Goro walk around, looking between boxes for what was presumably supplies. His gaze traveled to the Kanabo, finding himself saying:*"Best wash off blood. Some no like sight of it."*Turning around, he'd head over to his horse, giving him a gentle pat on the side as he neared him.*
Jesse
*The Oni, still searching for some items and tossing them into a sack, created by what was his sleeping mat would call out* "Goro.. Likes reminder.. Goro tried cleaning though" *He'd say as he got the last few items. Taking the boxes and turning them upside down, Pulling some ropes around the mat as it tightened and strung up into a medium sized bag. Full of supplies he believed would be useful, Though holding something in his hand as he approached the elf.*

"Thankful." *He'd let out, Standing before the elf and holding out the items. A collection of little roughly carved out totems of various animals the Oni had seen in his time here. A rabbit, wolf and pig being something he had seen often, being the easiest to make out.*
Paul
*With it seeming like the Oni was about packed, stating that he wanted to keep the memories of the fights while still promising to clean off, the Elf would climb up on his horse's back. It seemed it would be about time for him to get back to traveling as well. Terrel would look at the totems as they were presented to him, part of him unsure of whether or not the Oni wanted him to take the totems or were simply showing them off to him. It seemed like a collection he must have been making out of boredom, though being willing part with them upon readying for travel seemed odd in his eyes.*"For... Pig...?"*He'd question as he pointed to the totems.*
Jesse
*The Oni would nod with a smile, Continuing to hold them out to the Elf. The rabbits that he had once strung from his waist woke up and would quickly exit the cave- as he freed them whilst getting ready, The sack was tied around one of his arms and dangling down opposite the Kanabo.* "For pig. Friend." 

*He'd say with a smile, The wooden totems clanking lightly against each other as he continued to hold them out with shaky hands* "Keep.. One.. Think goro.." *The Onis eyes still full of wonder, The smile wide and unwavering.*
Paul
*A faint grin would form on the Elf's face as he'd reach out to take the pig totem. It didn't take much thought for him, seeing as it matched with him either way. Deciding to keep it in his hand, he wondered if there was a way to string it on something so that he could just wear it around his neck rather than casting it into one of the saddlebags.*"Pig think of Goro."*He'd say with a nod.*"Be wary of others, others with bad intent."*Goro didn't seem like such a bad person given his circumstances, hopefully he could avoid getting stuck in the same situation again. It would be such a shame after the glimmer of hope he had for new adventures. The Elf didn't doubt his fighting capabilities however. He was sure Goro would be fine.*"Elf depart now. Must continue travel."*He'd continue, tugging his horse's reigns to turn him around.*
Jesse
"Keep safe.. Pig" *The Oni would tell the Elf, Turning back to his camp and offsetting some things. Covering up most of his tracks as best he could, Leaving the remaining animal totems against the entrance of the cave and keeping the wolf one on his belt before setting off in another direction. Re entering the woods and staying off the path as he ventured back into the wild, A lot more hopeful and with a newfound sense of adventure.*
Paul
"You too Goro..."*He'd say after a while. Patting at the saddlebag, he'd get his wolf to hop up into it, and after a bit of struggle, the wolf would vanish inside of it. The Elf would tap a heel against the side of his horse, causing him to slowly trot off before Terrel would glance back once more and give a faint wave to the Oni as he departed. Soon enough the Elf would vanish past the trees, his new pig totem resting in hand.*
