<strong>Solo Branning<br/>Time; Day 1, morning<br/>Location; Fareway and the surrounding Fields<br/>Tagged; Neria</strong><br/><br/>Solo smiled as Neria shook his hand in return, he had a partner! Yes! Mentally fist pumping, Solo smiled as he dramatically pointed towards the forest, before Neria asked him if he had been travelling for long...well, not asking, stating he was a novice really. And he couldn't argue, he was a novice. This was his first time in the world on his own, and he didn't really pay attention to the lessons his father gave him, only his mother's survival guides. So, instead of demanding her reason for asking this, being fully aware it'd be pointless even responding since she too would know his response, he simply nodded. It was all he really could do. Then she warned him about the forests, or more accurately the creatures within. Now, when she said creatures, Solo thought at most those cute Slimes (see Beastiary) that would jump around town with their adorabe smiles, the cutest little pet you'd see. But for all he knew, she could be right, so dropping his dramatic pose, he decided to simply follow Neria; the irony was incredible, the wayfarer was being led by a cleric from another world!<br/><br/>As they entered the forest, Solo explained "Well, from what I know, the creaures in Fantasia are a huge wide variety. But on Merc, or at least Fareway, the creatures stay in their little places. They are often docile, but there are a few more...feral creatures." hopefully not frightening her, but the again a woman like her probably would have seen much more frightening things than he had when she went out in her world. As she knelt down, to look at the tracks, she stated they maybe deer tracks, to which Solo's eyes lit up brilliantly. "A deer? I love them! So majestic, graceful..." He said quietly, afraid to startle it if it did exist. And then the branch snapped, Neria instantly into combat ready position. Solo, from this drew out his sword, facing the bush, which then startled the deer ahead of them, a comical sweatdrop rolling down Solo's aggrivated face. Suddenly, a group of Slimes hopped out of the bushes and stood before them, to which Solo laughed. "Its only Slimes! They won't hurt-OUCH!" He was interupted by a Slime launching itself at Solo, to which he snarled at them. "Alright, they will hurt you." he clarified before drawing his sword down on one, knocking it out easily. They weren't too hard. And he merely stuck down another two, leaving the last three to Neria. Solo watched the cleric to see what she could do...
