Natalia pursed her lips as the farms came into view, a smile playing over them as she scanned the area, coming to rest on a group of villagers.<em>"Finally, people."</em>She thought, and unwittingly spoke aloud as Rake began to greet them in his dramatically spastic manner. Sometimes with his dark clothes and attitude, she wondered if he was a villain in disguise!. That's when the two men started on their little vanity battle, and she shook her head with a sigh before letting it drop forward.<strong>"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You two should cool it so we can find out what's going on. You'd think they had seen bandits."</strong>She said as she dismissively walked passed the two, making sure she was a good enough distance from the spectical to avoid an unwanted splash.<br/><br/>Natalia then carried herself on the way to the village proper, following after Krusmid before a bad feeling all of a sudden welled up inside of her. They'd been on the road for she couldn't count how long, nothing but trees in sight without seeing so much as a single bandit. Then here, they have a village full of people that were running away?<strong>"Wait, there aren't actually bandits here are there!?"</strong>She asked with a yip, tapping her foot once. Sure, they could have been speaking of Rake, he was dressed enough like a bandit for someone to get that impression. Or was it their equipment?<br/><br/>Natalia then bit her bottom lip, and took a look behind her. She sure hoped their weren't bandits running up the hill behind them, that would not be the way she'd want to start a new adventure!
