<hr/><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/8sMViis.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Masque (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=286197.msg14083251#msg14083251)<br/><strong>Aura:</strong>Gray, 2/3<br/><strong>Time/Date:</strong>Morning, Day One.<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Forest near cave.<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Robin, Azuri, Lyn, open.<strong>Mentioned:</strong>Auro<br/><hr/>Masque titled his head to the side, and listened for something. It's a very cat-like thing to do, but the thing is, some humans will do it, too; changes the way you hear things. He looked out towards the forest, because he was pretty sure he heard something besides the chitter-chatter, but it was also hard to hear over it. It's not easy to tell where his eyes are actually going, and that mask must limit his vision to some degree. At one point, he's staring right in Auro's vicinity as he scans the treeline, but he didn't seem to recognize that there was anybody there.<br/><br/>Being jumpy had usually been a life saver for him. Maybe this time, he was just a bit more kerfluffled than usual. His attention slipped back to the others. He considered saying something to Lyn, but Azuri seemed to take charge of the entire conversation... and, he had to admit, he actually liked her style. Pity she already had a partner. She took charge, she was thorough and pointed in her explanation. She also showed a measurable amount of stratagem and self interest, which he saw as good leadership qualities.<br/><br/>He actually laughs a bit at Robin's reaction to being chosen. "Yeah, it's fine. I survived the drop down into the woods, didn't I?" And he hadn't had something fancy like a flying lance to guide him; that had been pure acrobatics, with a sprinkling of luck. "You two can do a quick sweep of the forest, then. And hey, we don't know if we're gonna get more food baskets, so..."  He takes out some of the berries, and nuts he had gathered earlier, and laid them out into the basket. "Blues are almost always safe to eat. Black berries can be a bit risky. Nightshade berries look a bit like shiny black grapes, but you eat a few of those, and it could kill ya. Reds are also a bit of a gamble. White berries? Ain't nothing good ever come from a white berry, as far as I know." And he gave off a few other basic pointers about forageable foods they could find.  He's at least trying to be helpful now, instead of antagonistic, so that's an improvement, right?<br/><br/>He then went over to join Azuri by her lance, and assuming she was good with it, he'd mount it behind her. "My gun still provides good range, like his bow. It's just louder." Meaning it could potentially draw more notice, and to a lesser degree, she should be prepared for said loud noises. While he would try to avoid giving her a bad case of tinnitus,  Who knows what'll happen.  "This thing; does it work a bit like a motorcycle?"  He was curious about the way she 'drove' it.
