((K'ile finds K'haali outside of town))
K'ileTwinflame: What're you doing out here?
K'haaliThalen: I'm asking myself the same thing!
K'haaliThalen: Luha ran off; and Ailia went after her on chocobo, but I couldn't tell you where in this weather
K'ileTwinflame answers easily, "West. So much for taking shelter from the rain, huh?"
K'haaliThalen: ....and which way is west?
K'ileTwinflame: Come on.
K'haaliThalen motions to lead on
K'ileTwinflame: Leave it to Yohko's woman and kid to run off on us in a storm.
((Someminutes later...))
K'haaliThalen: You're lost yoo....
K'ileTwinflame: And now I don't have the scent anymore. The rain's pulling up all the dirt and stink.
K'haaliThalen: Well, town's back down this road at least. if nothing else
K'ileTwinflame: Feh. Alright, let's back-track. We'll have to wait for them to come back.
K'haaliThalen: I'm sure they'll be fine on their own. A little rain isn't going to kill them... perhaos they need the quiet time anyway
K'ileTwinflame: Maybe. How long can this rain last?
K'haaliThalen: Looks at the sky, apparently made out of a sponge. "soon?"
K'ileTwinflame utter in exasperation, "Those women better not make us wait too long."
K'ileTwinflame stands with his arms crossed, brooding, "Let me know if you see them."
((Backin Drybone, having waited for a time...))
K'ailiaYohko: oi oi!
K'ailiaYohko: Come on ya two!
K'haaliThalen welcomes K'ailia Yohko.
K'ileTwinflame: Hm? Where the hell'd you go?
K'ailiaYohko: Ma thinks we found the perfect spot!
K'ailiaYohko: les go!
K'haaliThalen: K'ile's nose failed us
K'ailiaYohko beckons to you.
K'ileTwinflame: Oh, she just runs off intot he ran and sents a messenger back to get us, hm?
K'haaliThalen Don't bean old sour-puss
K'ailiaYohko laughs.
K'haaliThalen grins
K'ileTwinflame: We decided to wait out the storm cause she was being all cold and pathetic in the first place.
((Headingout of town))
K'haaliThalen: I thoguht you said they ran West!
K'ileTwinflame: THey must've ran back east.
K'haaliThalen: Your nose isn't what it used to be
K'ileTwinflame grumbles.
K'haaliThalen: No shortage of game or water
K'ileTwinflame: If you like goats.
K'haaliThalen: It beats sandworm
K'haaliThalen: Maybe the cold has made his joints sieze
K'ailiaYohko laughs at you.

((Arrivingat that giant goobbue corpse in far eastern Thanalan, the rain suddenly ends and then sun comes out))
K'ailiaYohko: this is the place
K'haaliThalen: What is that?
K'ailiaYohko: A dead goobbue
K'ailiaYohko: Yay! rain stopped!
K'luhaHaaz: The rain stopped..
K'luhaHaaz: I feel like that's a sign or something...
K'ailiaYohko smiles.
K'ileTwinflame shakes water off his arms, "Finally." And he fixes K'luha with a glare, "The hell is wrong with you?"
K'haaliThalen: If that's not auspicious I don't know what is
K'luhaHaaz: What?
K'ileTwinflame chews on his words for a moment and then shakes his head, "Later."
K'luhaHaaz flattens her ears to her head and glance at the other two. "Well, what do you two think?"
K'ailiaYohko: Plenty o' plants. An up that hill be goats with lots o' meat
K'ailiaYohko points.
K'ileTwinflame: ... It's a little creepy.
K'luhaHaaz: The giatn dead carass you mean?
K'ileTwinflame: It's eyes and teeth.
K'luhaHaaz seems lost in thought.
K'ileTwinflame: Gotta love the view, though.
K'ailiaYohko: What ya think sister?
K'haaliThalen: It is lovely; but a view doesn't make a good place to settle. I want to survey the area better
K'ailiaYohko: an' we'd have privacy too
K'ailiaYohko nods.
![[Image: 2249025.jpg]](http://assets-cloud.enjin.com/users/1561967/pics/original/2249025.jpg)
K'ileTwinflame crosses his arms, looks down at K'luha, "This is a nice hole, but we need more than one pretty campsite. We need land to move around in."
K'luhaHaaz: Did you look at the lands on your way here? It's only Drybone and they mostly stick to themselves. All that other land is free. Not to mention there's a bridge to the east with more unfettered lands.
K'ailiaYohko: An' a lot o' these plants bare fruits.
K'ileTwinflame: I was watching. K'haali! What do you think of the resources here?
K'ailiaYohko: An some can even be used fer medicines.
K'haaliThalen: These plants are certainly of great value; even if there isn't enoguh here to support the tribe, if those rains occur frequently we can try and grow more
K'ailiaYohko: an up that path be lots o' game.
K'ailiaYohko points.
K'ailiaYohko: plenty o' food
K'haaliThalen: I want to survey the surrounding land now the weather's broken. There's no doubt game, we at least stumbled upon those; but accessible water
K'ailiaYohko: Water, I found a lil lake up this way
K'ailiaYohko: It was how I got back ta drybone.
K'ileTwinflame: Another thing to look for is alternate camp sites. We should pick out three or four.
((Upthe hill and back in the plains, there's a decently sized watering hole not too far off!))
K'haaliThalen: Well this is ideal; water, food, game.
K'ailiaYohko: Maybe they jes dun care about this land yet.
K'haaliThalen: I daresay we might all become fat and spoiled living here
K'haaliThalen bursts out laughing.
K'luhaHaaz: No. There's one problem.
K'ileTwinflame shakes his head, "This water's only here because of the rain."
K'ailiaYohko: Or maybe we've gone beyond Ul'dahn lands?
![[Image: 2249027.jpg]](http://assets-cloud.enjin.com/users/1561967/pics/original/2249027.jpg)
K'luhaHaaz: There's an Amalj'aa Encampment just south of here.
K'luhaHaaz: That's why they haven't settled here. Because the Amalj'aa are trying to do the same.
K'ileTwinflame idly pulls at the leaves of the plant next to him. "How south is just south?"
K'ailiaYohko stretches.
K'ileTwinflame watches K'luha walk off unhappily.
K'haaliThalen seems lost in thought.
K'ailiaYohko: Can't be as big a camp as the one we passed in Sagolii
K'ileTwinflame: K'luha and I can scout out the Amal'jaa camp. You two don't need to worry about it yet.
K'haaliThalen tosses a rock across the water
K'ailiaYohko: want us ta scout north?
K'luhaHaaz: Maybe a day's walk south from here.
K'luhaHaaz: That's my estimate.
K'ileTwinflame: A day's walk isn't far enough to be comfortable.
K'luhaHaaz: Like I said. That's the problem.
K'haaliThalen looks dejected at yet another good opportunity running into a snag
K'ailiaYohko: Course, maybe the Amalj'aa jes got a tiny lil encampment an haven't spread up anymore.
K'ailiaYohko shrugs.
K'ileTwinflame: Still not a big enough problem to knock it out of the list. It's got good resources and nobody owns it far as I cn tell.
K'ailiaYohko: An' we'd be able ta get fed real good.
K'luhaHaaz closed her eyes and crossed her arms, thinking on it.
K'ileTwinflame: How's the trading at that Drybone place?
K'ailiaYohko seems lost in thought.
K'haaliThalen: Unless you sell funerary goods....
K'ailiaYohko: Ma' an' I when we headed ta Gridania, our wagon went by another settlement at a bridge.
K'ailiaYohko: Why dun we check their markets?
K'luhaHaaz: Highbridge. They do okay trade.
K'luhaHaaz: Not to mention wer're only a day or two from the South Shroud.
K'ileTwinflame looks at K'luha. "Okay's good enough for us. We're not trying to get rich."
K'luhaHaaz nods.
K'ailiaYohko: Well... if we all in agreement.
K'haaliThalen shrugs.
K'ailiaYohko: We should prolly map a good course fer the tribe ta travel ta get here.
K'haaliThalen: I'd certainly like to get a better look at the lands
K'ileTwinflame: I'm going to stay out here until someone secures a time to meet with Ventus. No better way to judge the area than live off it.
K'ailiaYohko nods.
K'luhaHaaz: That's true. I'll send him a moogle message from Drybone then. Hopefully he'll respond quickly.
K'haaliThalen pouts. "I was planning on doing the same, but with you around you'd likely eat all the goats!"
K'luhaHaaz laughs at K'haali Thalen.
K'ileTwinflame: K'luha. You and I will have to walk down and scout out the Amal'jaa camp. That's a couple days there. You okay with that?
K'ailiaYohko: So who goes back ta camp ta tell the elders?
K'luhaHaaz nods to you.
K'haaliThalen eyes turns to K'ailia
K'ileTwinflame: We haven't decided anything yet, so there's nothing to tell the elders.
K'ailiaYohko: Okay.
K'ailiaYohko: What ya want me ta do?
K'luhaHaaz: Perhaps try and get in contact with Ventus again. Set something up perhaps.
K'luhaHaaz: I don't think K'haali should be out here by herself though.
K'ailiaYohko: I can do that when he stops sleepin'.
K'ailiaYohko pulls out her necklace with the linkpearl.
K'luhaHaaz: Then perhaps you should stay with K'haali then while you wait for him.
K'ailiaYohko: Okay.
K'ileTwinflame: Why not? K'haali, you scared of a bunch of goats?
K'ailiaYohko: Actually... there's wolves out here too.
K'luhaHaaz looks irritably to K'ile. "That is what I thought a long time ago K'ile. And we all know how that ended...."
K'ailiaYohko points.
K'ailiaYohko: like thatone over there
K'haaliThalen: This place seems like paradise compared to the sagolii and I spend plenty of days and night out by myself.
K'ailiaYohko: Oh there's high bridge
K'ailiaYohko points.
K'luhaHaaz: Still. You could be overwhealmed in your sleep. Or run across trouble you can't handle. I would feel better if someone where with you.
K'ileTwinflame: Kluha's right, but it's up to you, K'haali.
K'haaliThalen: I'll have K'weh for company!
K'ailiaYohko: Well I can always go see about settin' up a meetin' with Ventus.
K'ailiaYohko: While she scouts.
K'ileTwinflame smiles, and says, "Well, at least for the first night, I'll be within a stone's throw of the goobue. You can all stay with me if you want. After that K'luha and I will be on our way to the Amal'jaa camp.
K'ailiaYohko nods.
K'haaliThalen: So, rendevous here, tommorow morning before you depart?
K'luhaHaaz: That works as well as anything.
K'haaliThalen: Well; at the goobue.
Younod to K'haali Thalen.
K'haaliThalen: That suits me just fine; you watch - by tommorow morning I'll have found and prepared a full set of hunting gear entirely from local resources, just to prove it's viable!.
K'ailiaYohko laughs.
K'ileTwinflame: Hah. If you did that I'd be impressed!
K'luhaHaaz: Where shall we stay tonight then? Here?
K'ileTwinflame: I'll be setting up camp at the goobbue and then hunting dinner.
K'luhaHaaz: I'll stay with you then I suppose.
K'ileTwinflame nods to punctuate his statement, and then turns to head back there, "I'd like it if you did. The two of us together can hunt something more fun!"
K'luhaHaaz smiled faintly and nodded. "Alright then. Will the two of you be staying here as well?"
K'ailiaYohko: Aye
K'haaliThalen looks to the hills to the north. "I'd rather hoped i might explore north before nightfall and set up camp along the ravine in a secluded spot.
K'ailiaYohko: Lily has my belongin's
K'ailiaYohko: So I can get some hand ta hand practice in.
K'ailiaYohko nods.
K'luhaHaaz: Alright. We'll meet back here tomorrow morning. You should set up your campsit.
K'ileTwinflame: Enjoy your mountains, K'haali.
Youbid farewell to K'haali Thalen.
K'ailiaYohko: I wonder though
K'ailiaYohko points.
K'haaliThalen: Maybe i like rocks!
K'ailiaYohko: what are them giant glowin' rocks?
K'luhaHaaz laughs at K'haali Thalen.
K'haaliThalen: But, see you in the morning
K'ailiaYohko: they shaped so weird.
K'luhaHaaz: I don't know.
K'haaliThalen: They remind me of aether crystals, but, collosal
K'ileTwinflame: Can't you ask your teachers, K'ailia?
K'ailiaYohko: Aye, when they pick their pearls up
K'ailiaYohko: hehe folks sleep a lot taday
