"Managed to sell any of them?"*He asked casually as his horse had let out a huff of air as if they grew impatient in waiting for him for so long. Terrel sat down next to the steed, continuing to pat him as he looked off down the emptying street.*"Still managed to come back before the sun went down didn't I?"*He said with a low laugh. Terrel took out his waterskin, taking a sip from it as he seemed to be getting comfortable resting here for the time being.*"Don't mention it."*He told him.*"There's a flask in there with water in it. Probably gotten warm by now, but still good I'm sure."
Christine
*Nak'sem let out a small chuckle, grabbing the flask and softly feeling it with his hands; there was enough water to make some hot tea. The treton started rummaging in his bag and pulled out a small receptacle filled with coal.*
"Since it is pretty chilly out here would you care for some tea? I still have some herbs left from foraging through my travels... Also, yeah, i managed to sell a few of the totems and a couple bought matching necklaces." *In a low giggle, he mentioned* "I managed to make just enough to restock for the trip" *He pulled out a silver tea kettle along with a pair of mugs, placing one in front of Terrel and one in front of himself. He poured the water from the flask inside of the kettle and burnt the coal from the bottom so there was no evident flames but prominent heat nonetheless. Soon enough the water started bubbling and the treton dipped a spherical strainer filled with fresh herbs inside of the kettle. He finally sat down in front of the man, ripped the paper bag along the edge, and signaled Terrel's mug with an open hand. "I'm sure this will make you feel better. * He hummed*...Have *You* Eaten yet?"
Janise
*Terrel looked over at the mug, his waterskin resting just on his lips as he hesitantly considered the offer for something more than just simple water.*"I... Suppose if it doesn't poison me, I'll take you up on that offer."*Terrel eventually said, reaching for the mug and putting his waterskin away. It was a wonder how much people had to afford simple crafts that allowed the man money to pay for enough supplies to carry across the mountain. Perhaps Terrel underestimated the beauty of it. After all, he had two totem necklaces by now, but that remained hidden beneath his regal clothing. At the Treton mentioning the tea making him feel better, he raised an eyebrow in confusion.*"What do you mean? I'm feeling just fine. Don't worry about whenever I eat. It's typically when it's the most convenient for me."*He says, taking a sip from the mug.*
Christine
*As nak'sem took the first sip of the tea he found himself unconsciously raising his eyebrows at the poison comment, and in a joking tone he said* "Well, we *Are* Drinking from the same brew and I'm not planning to die anytime soon so you're safe, Terrel" *The treton proceeded to let out a small chuckle and began wrapping the mug with both his hands, in hopes to make them warmer* "I saw you tightly wrapping yourself in that red cloak earlier, the temperature does drop a considerable amount in the nighttime here so I thought a warm drink would help ya. Besides, it's always nice to share a meal with someone every once in a while... Or at least I think so."
*He pulled his now full bag behind his back and used it as a backrest. As he was making himself comfortable in this improvised talking-pit a few coins jingled in his pocket, and he proceeded to ask* "So, tell me more about these work offers over the mountain... I have to admit you left me hooked on that one"
Janise
*He lets out a snort of amusement.*"What doesn't kill you doesn't always mean it won't kill me."*The Silnari said in response before taking a sip of the tea and drinking in its warmth. He closed his eyes for a while, feeling a peacefulness that he could only feel in full seclusion with few things but his own horse for company. The serene feeling didn't last long, however, as he was broken from his thoughts at the question that followed.*"Right the jobs."*He said, glancing over to watch what people that remained on the street vanishing off for the night before continuing in answer.*"There's a new town being built in the West lands so there's been a great need for constructors, farmers, other shopkeepers and whatnot to keep it maintained. The main jobs as far as building goes, however, there is also a guild being in development, so if not sticking to one job there are others than ensure more traveling opportunities. Of course if you're just looking for decent pay for short time I'm sure you could find that easily, whatever you may decide to do."
Christine
"Hmph, you seem to know a lot about this new town. I was thinking I could stay until everything is pretty much finished since i'm in no rush and I am a wanderer after all. Plus I work better alone, takes less time." *Before he threw that first question at him, he could feel yet again a slight shift in the man's energy, almost as if he was in a pure state of calmness. Nak'sem almost felt accomplished seeing they both created a comfortable space and flashed a warm smile at his reflection in the cup.* "So, tell me more about yourself Terrel. You're quite the individual"
*The treton was notified by the grumbling of his stomach that he had indeed not touched the food since Terrel brought it over for him. He leaned forward, taking the fish that was laid over the paper bag and whispered a small prayer. As conversation flowed and some passed, the only thing left in the sky was a watered down shade of orange, signaling that nighttime had begun.*
Janise
"Of course I do. It's my friend's town."*The Elf said.*"Sounds like you wouldn't make a bad farmhand. Nothing but the fields and animals to work with."*He said to him while casually taking another sip of the tea before he eventually placed it back down and went to lean against his resting horse. The peacefulness allowed him to relax a bit, however, he still remained partially alert to the Tretan's actions.*"As far as what you need to know about me... I'm a Silnari that knows both not enough and too much as far as Elven standards go."*He chuckles.*"But you can just consider a Mercenary with a side business who's seen too much of the world."
Christine
"Of course i'd make a good farmhand!" *He giggled* "I like to believe I have the necessary skills and knowledge to bring a town to life, it's just... People merely take me, again, for a beggar or a low life they can give their pocket change to... Which is not *Too* Bad, i can't complain." *He spoke in a sarcastic tone* "In the end i've been living like this for the last couple months." *The treton finished the sentence in kind of a defeated tone, closing his eyes while reminiscing of the last couple months traveling on foot. Nak'sem paused for a moment before asking the question that was lingering in the back of his mind.* "And... If I may ask, why the disguise mr. Terrel?" *He looked deeply into the pig mask's pearly white eyes as he took the last sip of what was left inside his mug, leaving it besides him.*
Janise
"Well can't at least blame you for trying to make an honest living."*The Silnari said in return. He could see how the man would come off as such. Appearance alone wasn't in his favor, but people often had to work their way up one way or another. At the question of the mask, the Elf let out a low chuckle. He was often asked about it and each time he typically gave a different answer.*"Used to be a disguise."*He corrected him.*"The mask draws in more attention than it does keep it at bay. I've worn it so long in public that it's simply what people associate me with now. So I've never seen any reason to change that. It's kind of funny really."
Christine
"Well, to each one their own I guess" *The Treton let out a wholehearted laugh and raised both his hands in defeat.*
*As the night sky began cloaking both men in their improvised lounge, the area only being lit by the close by lanterns and the red embers from the earlier preparation. Nak'sem started worrying about his new friend not getting enough sleep since the oncoming day's trip back to the Town would be long, and it's better to travel well rested.* "Ah, mr. Terrel, forgot to mention that the brew I made us earlier is supposed to help you have better quality sleep, and... It's actually beginning to hit me now. *Nak'sem let out a raspy chuckle* "How about you? Do you have an place you and your horse can stay at?"
Janise
"I knew I shouldn't have drank that tea..."*He uttered under his breath. The Silnari rested a hand on his horse as. For a brief moment, the lull of sleep threatened to take hold. He shook it off soon after in an attempt to focus on something else.*"Typically, but it's a long ways away from here..."*He told him, coming to stand up and having to blink a few times to grab his bearings.*"I usually just stay in the local tavern, though I'd rather not leave the supplies out all night."*He turned his focus back on the Treton, the idea of suddenly hauling a bunch of heavy bags up through the tavern feeling like a distant thought.*"I'll tell you what, if you want to carry these all bags over to the room I'll buy a spare room for you to stay in tonight."*He told him.*
Christine
"You don't have to tell me twice, friend!" *Nak'sem slowly stood up patting some of the dust off his pants, yet again making the few coins in his pocket jingle in unison. He began inspecting all the bulk he was about to carry, figuring out how to arrange it on himself in the most efficient way possible. The treton managed to tower half of the supplies on his shoulder, slightly pulling on the neck of his shirt revealing a few of the dark tattoos that adorned his shoulder. The rest he bundled leaving a handle on top. Stabilizing the supplies with his arm extended overhead, he crouched down picking the rest up in a swift motion, almost as if he had to put little strength and effort to deliver the merchandise to its designated place.* 

"I'd take you up in the room offer but-" *He grunted, hopping a tiny bit and rearranging the stuff to make the trip more comfortable.* "-I'd like to see how far the sea is from where we are at... Maybe take a dip in if it happens to be close by... I kinda miss the water. I'll make do for the night, don't worry about me." *He said with honest intentions, also hoping to be less of a burden money-wise to the man. After all he did spend quite a lot on these supplies. Nak'sem thought about sneaking into the stables and resting there until morning, which was going to be the most possible outcome.* "Lead the way, im right behind you" *The treton nodded at Terrel, signaling he was ready to go.*
Janise
*Terrel simply watched as the man grabbed the supplies near effortlessly, explaining his plans with him denying the room offer.*"Riiighhhttt..."*He said slowly. Terrel could have said more regarding it, but it was clear Nak'sem was set on whatever it was he wanted to do and it was equally as clear that the Silnari was too out of it to worry about it. Grabbing his horse's lead, he gestured for the Treton to follow him before he began to set off towards the Tavern.*"We'll get the supplies dropped off first... Then I'll be taking Carl here to a stable for the night."*He said, explaining the brief plan aloud as he walked.*"You can do whatever it is you do afterward."
