She reached out her hand as if to clasp the changeling's shoulder, but thought better of it when she saw the blood and gore clinging to it. "You fought the way you know how, and it helped. I was glad to see you in action. If we're going to travel together, we need to understand each others' capabilities. I look forward to our next battle!" She sauntered away, giving a shake of her hips to entice Talai's gaze if she were so inclined, and slipped her arm around Sresk's waist in a quick side-hug as they passed each other.<br/><br/>Her first stop was to see Telamon, clasping his shoulder in camaraderie. "Thank you, friend! You came for us when you could have stayed away. We won't forget this, and I'm proud to fight by your side."<br/><br/>Next she strolled around to Muriel. "I'm fine," she said with a grin. "This is all the snake's blood, not mine. But you're free to examine me any time." She winked at the half-elf, canting her hips again. "I'm glad we've got a skilled healer and alchemist with us. I doubt that will be the last venomous creature to cross our path here."<br/><br/>Next, she took a dip into the ocean to wash the worst of the blood off her body. She strode back onto the beach, the scars and tattoos on her naked body gleaming in the firelight, tying her hair up into braids as she walked. She rummaged under the boat for a few things, then wrapped herself in her red fox fur skirt, rendering herself at least half-clad. She knelt by the snake's carcass, and placed her silver holy symbol of Erastil around her neck, where it nestled between her breasts. She looked over the body, her voice becoming somber now.<br/><br/>"Erastil, I thank you for this kill. For all that we raged and cursed in battle, it was only an animal, and acted only in accordance with nature. Thank you for letting us keep ourselves and future travelers safe from its predation. May its spirit move on in the cycle of all animals, and may we use its body to support our lives in this new land."<br/><br/>She made a gesture of reverence to her god, then smiled at the others. "Don't let me stop you guys - I just had to say a few words for Old Deadeye." She assumed that Telamon would have been feasting on the raw carcass already (and maybe Sresk too, she wasn't going to judge), and now that her prayer was complete, she felt free to attack it herself. Of course, the snake was huge, with far more meat than they could hope to eat in one night. She began by stripping a small section of the body of its scales, and carving off a bloody chunk of meat to roast over the fire for her victory meal. A single rib came free of its skeleton as she worked, and she held it up to the light, marveling at its size. "I've seen pythons that could crush an ogre in their coils, but nothing like this. Something tells me this won't be the last surprise for us in this land."
