Ruul's ZRP Party: Thread 6.2

"How'd you know it's a girl?" Kairo asked as he tilted his head to one side to look at the creature from a different angle. "Could be a boy, you could have just insulted it."

Calcifer glanced over at Kairo, his eyebrows furrowing as if to say, really?. He almost chuckled.

Ruul caught up, slowing down as he saw the two Gieru slip in the mud. "What do you have there, Darem?"

"It's a mouse-y, squirrel-y thing and he just insulted it," Kairo said.

The squirrel inspected the bandage around its arm and looked up at the growing amount of large people around it skeptically.

"Never mind that. Does it understand us? Entiende?"

Darem lowered his hands, "...Do these animals normally understand things like that?" Darem looked at the creature, "And I looked over it for wounds. Pretty sure I know the difference between a boy 'n a girl."

Kairo tutted loudly. "*mumblegrumble* spoil my fun *grumblemumble*"

"No, but I figured it was special since you bothered to use my bandages on it."

Darem rubbed the back of his head, "I uh...just wanted to help it." He grinned, "They should have somewhere that sells me in clock town, yeah? I can getcha more while we're there if ya want."

after looking over the party, the creature turned again towards the swamp. Hearing the mention of the town, it tapped Darem's shoulder and looked back in the direction of the town.

Darem looked towards where the squirrel looked, "Huh? Why d'ya wanna go that way?" He frowned, "Yer bright and orange. Y'should probably not walk into a field where somethin' can see ya." Darem scratched his head, "I can bring ya there, but we kinda have somethin' to do here first..."

"Y'know you can't keep it, right?" Kairo said. "We're meant to be saving the world. Ain't none of us got time for a squirrel-mouse-thing that may or may not be insulted." He glanced at Calicifer, grinning slightly.

"If'n she wants to stay, she can stay. 'Sides, she's goin' the same way we are after we're done here. Can't hurt." Darem crossed his arms.

"Yeah but... But... We're kinda caught up in the middle of a war. Ain't no place for a mouse squirrel thing."

"We have people protectin' the two young ones, yeah? Then I'm sure I can take care o' this one." Daren smiled at the creature.

Almost in defiance the squirrel plopped down on Darem's shoulder and stuck its nose up at Kairo.

"Haha! See! She even knows tricks!"

Ruul scratched his head, not sure what to make of any of this.

Darem smiled at everyone, "C'moooooooo-ooon...pleeeeeeeease? I'll even letchu guys name 'er!"

Jaruzak flew over the land along the road to the south with Fist relaxing in his arms. He kept his eyes down, scanning the dark laden land for signs of activity. After a short while he managed to spot the familiar spiky blue hair crowding off the road amongst a group that he recognised except for one. He circled once above before diving down in-front of them. As he landed, much to his displeasure, his feet sunk into the mud. It made him remember that tomorrow it was going to storm and that he was going to get even more mud on himself like last time. He looked at the group and sized up the Goron with them, then after a few seconds said, "So what are you guys doing out here?"

Quint was surprised at Jaruzaks sudden appearance and with Fist to boot. "We got worried that you were taking to long and Trace is finally feeling better. But I see you already made it back. Is everyone safe?"

"It's funny, they came back less than an hour after you lot left." Fist said as she got down. "They seem well enough, but they forgot to bring our healer back with them... sooo Chaos is having us go get her real quick." She said pointing towards the swamp behind her with her thumb.

"How do you forget to bring someone back?" Kairo asked looking at Fist slightly bewildered.

Jaruzak remained standing where he was. "What happened in the Temple is rather complicated and she declined returning with us, we are now flying there to make her come back. It's good to hear that Trace is better, but Quint I don't see why you didn't wait any longer, I told you that I wasn't going to let the slavers live for another day." He stated rather monotonously. Jaruzak then moved his gaze towards the Goron. "I do not believe we have met before, what is your name?"
