Tree Lords I

"I wonder how long she will take?" Jeremy idly muses.

((OCC) Did Jeremy find any thing to supplement the rations while looking?)

[JadedDM]

(OOC: Oh, right, I nearly forgot. In twenty minutes, Jeremy manages to find 4 pounds of fruit and vegetables to supplement his rations, no roll needed.)

[Breila]

When Jeremy returns, Babushka smiles at him. "That was a very good idea" she tells him. "Next time, I will go." She helps him prepare anything that needs preparation.

[Jerrard]

"As long as she takes." Jerrard suggests. "Gentlemen, the ladies wish to bathe, perhaps we could move away? Out of sight but within earshot? Babuskha, Imani could you stand guard? We will be out of the way... My dear." Jerrard offers his wash kit to Malika, and a blanket. "This must be strange, we are used to living like this." He gives her a smile and ushers the men away.

[Jenara]

"Yippie!" Locky cries, pulling the armor over her head without a care. "Can I swim?" She asks Babuskha.

[Breila]

"I don't know if you CAN swim, Locky, but if you do, I don't see why you shouldn't do it now" Babushka answers with amusement.

[Jenara]

"Well I can paddle!" She giggles as she pulls off her clothes, running naked she splashes in the river. "Ooo it's c..c...
Cold!" She shivers.

[JadedDM]

"Ahh, geez, Locky--wait for us to leave first!" Ulster complains, covering his eyes.

Thuskar shrugs. "There's nothing to see, Ulster. She's a kender. Relax."

Ulster and Thuskar grab their things and walk away with Jerrard (and presumably Jeremy?), out of sight of the women.

[Jenara]

(Lucky she is a Kender! Or else that would have offended her!)

Splashing without a care Locky giggles before running over to Imani. "Come on!" She shouts, "It's cold but nice."

---------

"I am almost used to that." Jerrard comments with a sly smile, "She may be a Kender Thuskar, but she is still female." He walks away, shooting Malika a little glance.

[JadedDM]

Thuskar frowns at Jerrard as they depart. The mage's sly smile and little comment clearly disturb him. "She has the body and the mind of a child, Jerrard. By the sword of Kiri-Jolith, and here I thought Ulster was the one who seriously needed to get laid."

"Hey!" Ulster objects.

[Jerrard]

"You misunderstand me. I find her somewhat amusing, she can be quite cute like a child. But she is still female and deserves respect as such."

[JadedDM]

"Being female automatically makes one worthy of respect?" Thuskar asks.

"It's a Solamnic thing, I think. Chivalry, and all that," Ulster says.

Thuskar shrugs. "I don't know anything about that; but in any case, I wasn't disrespecting her. I was just pointing out that only a pervert would find her physically attractive."

"Or another kender," Ulster points out.

"Well, yeah, of course," Thuskar agrees. "What do you think, Jeremy?" he asks.

[Jenara]

"I am neither." Jerrard responds, "Women are worthy of our respect, all women."

Meanwhile Locky splashes.

[HorizonsDream]

Imani looks down at Locky for a moment before she runs off to splash in the water again. She was feeling kind of dirty. "Babushka, would you keep guard while I clean up a little?" Imani asks. "I'll take over once I'm done."

[agamotto]

"I try not to notice these things. I just want to get the food to the campsite and make dinner. Such as it is." Jeremy sighs.
