They boasted like Vikings, beating their chests and singing their own songs like it was meant to impress some great chieftain, or perhaps rally a population of hardened warriors into battle. Well, they certainly weren't at war -- not yet at least -- so she could only assume they were trying to impress someone.<br/><br/>Fen, at the very least, was definitely putting on airs. His lewd gesture and self-indulgent back patting was the obvious markers of someone with low self-esteem. He wanted to make those around him uncomfortable at the very least, and completely intimidated at worst. Considering the rather pronounced blush she tried to hide against Hermes' golden locks, he could consider his mission accomplished.<br/><br/>Korey took a moment to clear her throat, more than content to have her friend lean against her.

The girl supplicated the bleeding one as she came to a stand before him and offered her own hand, palm up, in return. "Whatever we have in store for us, it will do us no good if one of us is suffering from blood loss<i>and</i>heatstroke." She nodded dutifully despite the levity that toyed at the fringes of her tone. In no way did she think his wound was life threatening, but... Well, it was better to be safe than sorry, wasn't it? "Besides, it would make us easier to track." She added shrewdly.
