<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>Inside Cave -> Outside, forest<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Open<strong>Mention:</strong>Death Stalkers<br/><hr/><br/><em>Eh, screw it,</em>he decides. He goes darting back through the cave system, back towards the exit. He's hoping that the Death Stalkers have gone off elsewhere in pursuit of the fleeing students. Should he happen upon them, he'll just Ghost and stealth his way past; a scrap on his own would only end one way, and he wasn't in any hurry for a dirt nap.<br/><br/>Whether by luck or skill, once he was safely away from their nest, with what he presumes are the relics safely tucked away into a pocket, he started to take things easy. He always kept his ears pricked up and listening for the tell tale signs of Grimm activity; every so often, he had to shoot or stab a Beowulf, but mostly, he just avoided things. As time was dragging on, and he felt himself hungry, he would occasionally stop at any berry bushes or fruit growing trees that he could identify as edible--and he had a pretty extensive knowledge of what was, and was not, meant for consumption--and started gathering some of them.<br/><br/>This could take a while, after all, and who knows when he'll have the chance to gather food? He doubted lunch was going to be provided. Considering he is stopping semi-frequently, and making noise as he gathers things--even a few medicinal herbs--he is generating more noise than his usually thief-y self would be comfortable with. Noise that might be noticed, by potential foes and allies alike.<br/><br/>...And then there's the occasional gunshot, when something needs to be put out of its misery. That's also a pretty good indicator that a non-Grimm is moving about, too.
