*Terrel glanced up towards the sky for a short moment, unconsciously trying to figure out which direction they were going in so as not to stray too far from the route they were already taking. She seemed to have her own plans for the day, which Terrel figured he could just take as opportunity to relax in that case. The camp was bound to only last them a night anyways, though if they took their time traveling through Hombaxia, he supposed they'd be here for a while. His attention was caught once more as she pointed out the clearing she mentioned earlier.*"Not a bad place to make camp."*He commented, knowing full well that with the desert as a comparison, any other place seemed good.*"Looks like we beat sundown this time."*He gave Carl a light pat, moving on ahead to make his way over towards the clearing while his horse attempted to curiously sniff at the grass growing in the area.*
Alta
"Aye, the shade will do us good. Might be out of the desert, but the heat is still too much to lounge about in. At least the air is clear... The *Uha* Favour our journey, I would say."
*She mused aloud, noting Terrel's relaxed pace and slowing down in kind. The prospect of hunting was an energising one, but not enough to combat the slow sapping of strength the trek through the desert had given them. Her ears perked as the trees grew more plentiful, twitching and swivelling subtly at each familiar sound.*
Vanessa
"Uha?"*He questioned her, leading his horse to a nice place for him to graze. Terrel took off his cloak from around him, throwing the red fabric over his horse while the animal grazed. He probably would have been better off not wearing armor this whole way here, though the Silnari knew better than to trust that there wasn't at least one person out in the middle of nowhere looking for an easy target. At least things here seemed more peaceful though, besides they were still far enough from the warzone anyways.*
Alta
"The Silnari have their gods and spirits, we have ours. The *Uha* Are the most powerful of the spirits of the world. They are in the sky, the sun and the trees - anything in nature, there are *Uha* Who preside of it."
*Ikehara explained, her tone growing ponderous as the glimmer of faith shone through her usual cynicism. She mirrored Terrel's actions, unbuckling the saddlebags and feeding Ures a morsel for his good work.*
Vanessa
"Hm."*He said idly, glancing upwards for a brief moment before looking back at her. Terrel never really believed in the gods, not even the Silnari ones. Though he suppose luck is also a thing here.*"Should probably start setting up camp. If you want to refill the flasks for the time being, can do that while I start getting things set up here."*He suggested.*
Alta
"Psh... Aye, hand yours over. Should be a river clear enough for filtering nearby."
*The small noise she made seemed to be disappointment, the elf barely reacting to the talk of gods. She supposed there were always unbelievers, even atheists despite all the signs. Looping all their flasks onto a length of tied rope, she made to journey into the foliage, following the sounds of running water.*
Vanessa
*Terrel handed her the flask, watching as she headed off before letting out a light sigh. The hardest part of the trip was over, at least they still had more travels on ahead. He turned away, taking off his armor piece for the time being to finally get a breath of air with how hot it had been. The breeze felt a lot cooler now, most likely from the help of all the sweat collecting from the day. Terrel sat his armor and weaponry down near his horse, eventually reaching into Carl's saddlebags for the supplies he'd need to get camp set up while Ikehara was gone.*
