Shei blinked a couple of times before answering. One eye stung while the other did its best to analyze the approaching person; A Nord with a satisfyingly shaped mohawk. 

"Oh, *By the will of the nine*, a hand would be great, brother," The green one stammered, placing his pipe between his tusks as he wiped blood away from his dirtied eye. He dragged a smoke out from the pipe, pulling it away from his mouth and exhaling in a direction where the plume wouldn't smack the Nord in front of him. 

With his other hand, Shei reached for the Nord's. "May the divines bless you and your kind heart. You... *Ahem*." His throat was dry.
"You haven't seen any rabid beasts today, have you?"

While he was talking he approached 

"I've seen plenty, mostly wolves. But why do you ask?" He crossed his arms.

He then would turn a bit to reach into his satchel and grab a healing potions.
"Here friend drink this, you look like you need it." He told him as he tossed the potion towards the Orc.

"I've been sent to take care of some territorial beasts within Honeystrand Cave... But I doubt these wolves were said *Beasts*." 

Catching the potion now that he was standing, the orc gasped that he'd be so fortunate. He pushed the corktop off with a thumb, and tilted it back. A bitter taste of bug and flower lingered in his throat, but now his thigh and head had stopped bleeding.

"I appreciate your kindness to a stranger like me," Shei grunted. He set the empty bottle on the treelog, wiped the blood and spit off his pipe's mouthpiece, and offered the Nord a smoke.
"I'm Shei-Lah. I'm usually a bard at Jorrvaskr, but my Shield-Siblings want me to toughen up. Now. What's the name of this generous Nord I speak to, and what brings him here to the wilderness?"
Freddie
He would pass on the smoke.

"I am Frogar Axe-Man. It is a pleasure to meet a bard, an Orc bard at that. He introduces himself to the Orc.

"If you're thirsty still, have some of my water. If you're fine with sharing a canteen." He told the Orc and offered him a drink.

"That cave huh?" Frogar looked over.

If he took the drink or not Frogar would laugh.
"Hahaha! I've been to many caves, if you are ready we shall slay whatever lies ahead. Come friend. Have no fear, chest up high, let's face the darkness with pride and joy!" He would give him a slap on the shoulder to boost his confidence and began to power stomp towards the cave. A big smile on his face.

"*Frogar the Axe-Man*," The orc spoke aloud. "Very good title, I'll say." 

Shei liked names that sounded like they'd be in the titles of great epics or ballads. 

*That cave, huh?* 

He nodded as he rinsed some of the canteen water in his mouth before swallowing.

When Frogar encouraged the two to dive *Right into* The cave with a hearty shoulder slap, the orc was speechless. He really was going to walk right in? 

With a quick smothering of his pipe and grab of his satchel and steel war axe, Shei caught up with Frogar. He still struggled to find a proper sentence, scoffing at himself for his shock. 

"You have to forgive me, Frogar! I've been a city orc for too long, and my soul has gotten quite soft. If I wasn't in my head so much, I probably wouldn't have been bleeding like you saw me, back there. Since I *Have* The privilege of seeing such bravery in you, might I ask - What makes you so fearless when it comes to... *Slaying*?"
Freddie
"Any is a good time to die, better to be a true warrior and stare at the eyes of death. Then to cower infront of it. That's what my father told me anyways..." He gave a shrug.

"But in other words, face your fears and you won't have anything to fear. It's okay to be scared, but it's better to be brave." He added.

"Just push ahead friend! Nothing to fear! We have each other! Haha!" He gave a thumbs up and he kept on walking deeper into the cave.
