"Fur acts as protection. By protecting from the cold, and other outside forces, but you can't exactly take it of to protect yourself from overheating... And it makes it harder to treat wounds. Well that's how I imagine it, because it's almost like armour we create. But I guess you heat up faster with metal armour then with fur" *Ellena may not have been the smartest, but she sure was knowledgeable about armour. Whether it be metal, hide or what ever kinds of types*
Michelle
*Juna supposed Ellena had a point, though fur seemed more comparable to clothing than actual armor. It wasn't like it was going to save someone from an attack anyways.*"Yes... Though it does make the winter colder without it..."*Juna would say, at least glad she had to Gambeson on to provide some protection from the cold, not that she could bring herself to wear anything heavier. She liked feeling looser whenever she found herself needing to move quickly.*"Does... Metal armor get colder faster as well...?"*She'd ask curiously.*
Sharon
"Well metal conducts heat and cold, so which ever one is greater. In this case it would be the cold" *Ellena said as she scratched her head thinking about it. Knowing temperature was also you need for smiting* "But I guess you can ware fur or leather underneath to have some resistance"
Michelle
"Do you usually work on armor a lot...?"*Juna would question, suddenly coming a stop as she'd gaze around the area before veering off to the right.*"You seem... Very knowledgable about it..."
Sharon
"Yup. I come from a long line of smiths. Our family tree works all kinds of metal. Some even chemically and some in the mines. My family branch however mostly do armours... We can dabble in the other arts, but we're not exactly as good as other branches" *He said looking at Juna* "Why'd you suddenly turn?"
Michelle
*Juna gave a light tilt of her head at the thought. A whole family of smiths? Part of her wondered if Ellena was looking to make money in Salvania by crafting different kinds of armors. She was relatively new at traveling anyways, so maybe she planned on settling there for a while. As she asked why Juna was suddenly turning, the Canifor would say:*"This way will lead us to the main road to Salvania... From there it'll be a much... Easier path to follow..."
Sharon
"Oh. So you just know this place so well that you just know where the roads are?" *He asked trying to relate by thinking of how she knows her intire village out of her head* "Though we aren't all in the same place. We do have a main area where we hold gathering and where most of the family lives. Sometimes we even do switches there*
Michelle
"I..."*Juna paused, realizing she had to be careful with her words so as not to seem like she lived here.*"I travel through these forests a lot... They're... A great link between capitols and other towns..."*Listening to Ellena talk about her own home, Juna would question her.*"Kind of like... A tribe...?"*Juna didn't know much about tribes, but by description alone, it sounded similar to one.*
Sharon
"Precisely" *She said before pulling up a sleeve to reveal some purple markings on her* "And this is my mark of it... They aren't all the same and the colour and type of marking sometimes differ, but yeah" *She showing allot of pride in those marking she would then tilt her hair slightly and pull her loose white and lightly pink tinted hair to side to reveal some more on her neck* "They cover my entire upper body and some of my lower." *Just by her showing these, Juna would notice just how built she was, clearly indicating hard work. Her arm also seemed to have a few aged burn on them*
Michelle
*Juna would glance back at her, gazing at the markings for a short while before refocusing on what was ahead. She wondered if all tribes usually gave people markings like that. Juna was used to hearing stories about there being beastkin tribes, though it was a wonder how they'd be able to do something like that with all the fur.*"I... Didn't know Macens had tribes..."*She'd say thoughtfully, mostly use to Macens living out in the capitols and other similar places.*
Sharon
"Yeah, Macen have Clans, Tribes, Groups. Though my Tribe I guess can be seen as a Clan... Though we prefer tribe. Just feels natural, you know" *He said before raising Juna's arm up for bit. She would then shake her head and let her arm go*
Michelle
"What's... The diff-"*Juna would cut herself off as Ellena had suddenly lifted her arm up before shaking her head and letting it go once more.*"Wha... What was that for...?"*She'd ask in confusion.*
Sharon
"Was just checking sometime, don't worry. You were saying?" *She asked with a smile as if that was nothing strange*
Michelle
*Juna would rub at her arm absently as she would continue on walking.*"Looking for... What...?"*Juna found herself asking, completely forgetting her original question.*
Sharon
"Just checking you out" *Ellena would say in a joking mode. Clearly that wasn't why... Sort of*
Michelle
*Juna's ears would give a small flick before she would say:*"Um... Okay..."*She would walk on ahead, this time more hastily in the awkwardness until she eventually find the small incline she was looking for and would begin to head over to it.*
Sharon
"Could you slow down a bit. I'm still trying to enjoy the view" *She nagged as she slowly followed*
Michelle
*Juna gave a quiet sigh, slowing down slightly and eventually coming to a stop at the base of the slope.*"The main trail is just up here..."*She'd say, waiting for Ellena to catch up. It seemed the Macen was more focused on sightseeing than reaching her destination. No matter, it should be a straight shot from here.*
Sharon
"Saving you're going to leave me to get there?" *Alles Alles with a flight time of fear from getying lost again*
Michelle
*She glanced back at Ellena, saying in a tone of confusion:*"I... Thought you wanted to take the time to sight see..."*The Canifor would gesture up the slope, saying:*"It should be straight from here, no need to worry-"
Sharon
"But what if I get lost after enjoying the view. I don't know if you've noticed. But I'm not exactly good at getting anywhere in this new place *She said before eventually approaching her*
Michelle
*Juna's ears would lower slightly. Would she have to guide them all the way throughout Salvania? Surely not, there was much the Canifor had to get done today between hunting and working on the camp to prepare for her hatchling. Juna would fall silent, turning and quietly heading up the slope onto the path above before waiting for Ellena to join her.*
Sharon
"Just to the gates at least... Pleeeeease" *Ellen's beg with the biggest puppy eyes she could muater*
Michelle
*Juna would give a light nod before continuing to walk once more.*"There's nothing wrong with sightseeing... It can... Actually allow you to learn the terrain a lot more..."*She would say before gesturing down to one tree in particular. It didn't seem any different from the rest but she seemed to find need in pointing it out.*"Like that tree down there... That was... Where an assassin tried to shoot me once..."
Sharon
"Oh. Did he sucseed?" *Ellen's would ask a bit concerned for her fried*
Michelle
*Juna gave a light smile.*"No... They missed their shot and... Before I could react... Someone else came and..."*The smile faded once more, leading to a sigh.*"Killed them..."*She could still remember the strong smell of blood filling the air, merciless acts from both of them. Juna didn't want to become the same, but sometimes it was necessary.*
