Harmony looked at Robin, seeing her flush, then shake her head and agree to hunt. Then Harmony glanced at the others for their opinions. "Sounds good to me," Brian agreed.

Sky looked on, leaning against a big tree trunk. He felt a little upset, as he always did when people started to go out hunting. Why can't I hunt like everyone else? Sky thought as he watched Rio kneel next to a clear river. She looked concentrated, her hands hovering just above the water. She slowly, so slowly, slipped her tan hands into the water, and then shot forwards. There were a bunch of splashes as she lifted a fish out of the water, shimmering in the sun. She turned, fish still flopping in her hands, and walked over to a wide flat rock where she held the fish down with one hand, and then with a swift moment, chopped the fishes head off.

Sky looked over to Devon, who was up in a tree picking small yellow fruits off a tree and putting them in her bag. He never learned how to climb a tree. Essentially, Sky was useless.

-- not pingworthy --

- Robin glanced at Sky, who seemed to be uneasy. She took out her bow and walked over to him. "Do you wanna come hunting with me?" she asked, slinging her quiver over her shoulder. "It's really easy," she smiled at him.

ooc; Ahh, short. I'm probably not gonna be able to post until Monday. :/

Harmony watched everyone assemble into individuals or groups to hunt, and felt a little lonely because if she didn't find someone to hunt with, she would have to hunt alone. And she wasn't going to go near Brian and Fawn.

She blinked, turning around and spotting Marko. Should she hunt with him? They had already shown a little bit of interest towards each other, but if she went with him, she might suffer from humiliation. So she left herself staring dumbly at Marko while she debated weather or not to hunt with him inside her head.

OOC: Awww :(

Marko felt someone's gaze on him, nd turned around to see Harmony staring at him. He stared back for a while, and then took his boomerang out from where it was strapped across his back. He turned and took a few steps into the forest, and then turned back. He tilted his head a little towards the forest, telling Harmony to come. He turned and walked into the forest, not waiting to see if she'd come.

Harmony quickly glanced away after Marko had stared back, but then looked back up to see him tilt his head towards the forest. He wanted her to come? But then Marko turned and walked into the forest without waiting for her. She stared at his departing back for a moment before making her decision and followed Marko into the forest.

Robin shifted her bow on her shoulder. "Nevermind, then. I'll go by myself." she muttered, turning away from Sky and walking into the forest. She walked for a while, not stopping. There was lots of prey, but mostly, she ignored it. She sat down at the base of a tree, leaning against the trunk. For some reason, the kiss between Harmony and Marko... well, honestly, it bothered her a little. She wasn't sure why, though. She let out a sigh, and closed her eyes. She didn't want to go to the summit of the mountain and fight the Soul Eaters. She had a feeling something bad was going to happen. Well, obviously something bad would happen; people would get injured. It wasn't just that, though. There was something particularly foreboding about it. After a few minutes, she stood up. She took a handful of hazelnuts from her bag, crushed them in her palm and used them to oil her bow. She pulled back the bowstring when she saw a pheasant, and let the arrow fly. It sank into the trunk of an oak tree behind the pheasant. She swore, and walked over, pulling the arrow out angrily. "Whats wrong with me?" she sighed, rubbing her face.

Sky opened his mouth to say something, but Robin was already leaving. He looked around some more, feeling lost.

Marko turned to Harmony and held a finger to his lips, and then turned back around and kneeled on the soft forest floor. He motioned for her to do the same, and then pointed to a deer nibbling on some grass within his boomerang distance. Slowly, he reached behind him and took his black striped wooden boomerang out of the strap across his back and held it carefully in front of him. His eyes narrowed in concentration, Marko quickly marked in his mind the best angle to throw, and with a snap of his wrist the boomerang went sailing, arced, and hit the deer in the head, stunning it. "Aw, yeah!" Marko cheered and then using his hand to support himself, he jumped over the log and crashed through the bushes to the deer, laying on the ground. It was breathing, but giving up now that he was here. "It's scrawny, but it will do," Marko said to Harmony, and then he shut his eyes and killed it. He hated killing the animals, but he had to if he was to survive. Marko took a deep breathe to calm his thoughts, wanting to put a mask over any weak emotions. Especially since a girl was here. Marko picked the deer's carcass and held it in his arms. Glancing at Harmony, he looked like he was about to say something but then shook his head slightly and continued on to the clearing at the base of the mountain.

Sam panted now. "Wh- when do we stop?" She asked Nathaniel as they trekked up the mountain side. She squinted up against the sun's harsh rays. (not really sure if it's sunny, or if they are even moving still. w/e))

- Robin was downwind from a roe buck, her arrow aimed straight at its neck. She pulled the bowstring back and was about to let go, when someone across the other side of the clearing yelled, "Aw, yeah!" The buck looked up, saw her, and made to move. She shot, but it was already gone. She gritted her teeth. "What idiot was that?" she growled furiously, pulling her arrow out of the soil. She set a few snares, but they didn't turn out very well. Doubtful they would catch anything. Then she set off in the direction where the yell came from.

After a few minutes, maybe ten, she came across Marko and Harmony. Marko was carrying a dead deer. She looked at Harmony, then at the deer. Just as well she hadn't shot that roe buck, they'd have to much meat on their hands. She was angry, anyway. "Thanks alot for scaring away my buck. We're all hungry, it would have been a good catch." she snapped, glaring at Marko. She knew it wasn't Harmony; the yell definitely came from a male. She shook her head, and turned around, muttering insults under her breath. She was contradicting heerself, she was aware of that. The buck would have been a good catch, they would just waste alot of meat. She didn't take it back, though. Too proud.

"Wh-when do we stop?" Sam panted. Nathaniel glanced at her. "Just a few more minutes. I'll take your bag. It looks heavy," he said, taking the bag off Sam and slinging it over his shoulder. He was carrying alot of stuff, and it was really sunny and warm, but he didn't complain. "I'd say about... now." The top of the mountain was more or less flat; a good location for a battle. He put down his stuff and looked around. "This'll do. We should get ready for the fight."

ooc; Lol, Robin is so tempermental... :') And yeah, its sunny. In the battle (Soul eater vs. random..tribespeople..) I had an idea for Nathaniel and Aaron. So, awhile ago we said that Sam was going to push Nathaniel off a steep cliff/hill thingy, right? My idea was Nathaniel is fighting with Aaron, close to some edge, and Aaron tries to kill him, so Sam pushes Nathaniel off, but Aaron falls down with him as well. Since Aaron is pretty useless to me, I could kill him off, and have Nathaniel injured a little bit or something... How does that sound to you? (I suck at explaining, but.. oh well. XD)

Harmony sat on a large rock, watching Marko hunt the deer. It was a nice hit, but his reaction was what made her cringe. So immature, she thought, disgusted. But even so, she felt like she couldn't help but like that immature part of him. But only a little. She would prefer a more serious guy, but maybe it would be a nice change...?

She looked up at Marko as he glanced at her, and waited for him to say something. But he turned away, continuing on nearer to the clearing. Did he want to say something? His face sure looked like it, even if he didn't. Harmony rose, stretching a bit, before quietly following Marko. She felt like a little lost puppy dog hopefully following someone. Pathetic. But she couldn't really do anything about it. Being with Marko was better than being with no one.

Then she heard footsteps heading towards them, and she turned to see Robin angrily snap at Marko, then faintly hear her mutter insults under her breath. "I'm sorry he scared your buck away." She felt like she had to apologize for him, even though she didn't do anything. "You can, um...hunt with us if you'd like." Stupid Harmony.

"The fight?" Eliza was out of it, and the only words she had caught were "'We should get ready for the fight.'" She stumbled, slightly collapsing to the ground. She put her face to the dusty clearing. (lolwut? XD I'm not sure what she's doing...)

-- What if, instead of Sam directly pushing Nathaniel (Because I don't see why she would do that to him XD ) she pushed Aaron, trying to get him away from Nathaniel, but Aaron's grip on him is too strong and they both go down, Aaron dying and Nathaniel injured?? --

Marko chuckled at Robyn's temper. "Thanks alot for scaring away my buck. We're all hungry, it would have been a good catch." He raised his eyebrows as Robyn spoke. "Sounds like someone's a little... Jealous," Marko teased, smirking all the while. He turned and continued walking, but stopped as he almost stepped on a baby bird on the ground. He slid the deer off his shoulders and kneeled, a look of concern on his face. He cupped his hands and gently scooped up the bird, and then looked up into the tree above him, searching for a bundle of twigs that would indicate a bird's nest. Seeing it, Marko pulled himself up on the lowest branch, holding the baby blue jay tight, but not enough to hurt it. He reached up to the nest a bit higher than him, and slid the blue bird into the nest. It tweeted and Marko watched it for a moment, and then swung down off the tree. He picked the deer up again and looked at the girls. He said nothing and continued on his way. He couldn't leave the bird there for the sake of his reputation as a trouble-making careless flirt. @ isadora "Just a few more minutes. I'll take your bag. It looks heavy," Nathaniel took her bag from her shoulder, and Sam blushed as tingles spread over her arm where Nathaniel touched it. "Uh... thanks," She shook her head, clearing any thoughts of that. No, stop it Sam She scolded herself, and then stopped beside Nathaniel at a flat part of the mountain. "So now... we wait?" Sam walked over to a bit of shade beneath a scrawny tree and sat down picking up a nearby pebble and admiring the patterns.

- "I'm sorry he scared your buck away." Harmony said. Robin blinked, astounded. She cringed, feeling guilty. "Its okay." she said. "You can, um...hunt with us, if you'd like." Harmony offered. Robin shook her head, declining the offer. She had already stormed in on their privacy without really thinking. "Sounds like someone's a little... Jealous," Marko teased. Robin stopped short. "Oh, yeah, you've got me. I'm so jealous Marko, because I'm so in love with you." she said sarcastically, rolling her eyes. She watched Marko, confused, as he knelt down, and gently picked a baby bird off the round. He reached up to a nest, and slid the bird in. He looked concerned. Then, saying nothing, he picked the deer up and continued on his way. Robin looked at Harmony, surprised.

"So now... we wait?" Sam asked, taking shelter in the shade of a scrawny tree. "I guess so." Nathaniel replied, taking a leather pouch filled with water from his bag and walking over to sit next to Sam. He watched Eliza collapsing and putting her face towards the ground. He blinked. "Uh.... are you okay, Eliza?" he asked.

ooc; Lolwut. And yeah, it sounds like a better idea, because... yeah. She wouldn't just push Nathaniel off a big cliff, they're on the sam side XD Okay, so that sounds fine. :3

-- righteousness c: --

Sam stared at Eliza, and then got up and walked over. She picked Eliza up by her armpits and helped her over to the shade. She set her down int he spot to the other side of her, and then sat back down next to Nathaniel. "Probably just the heat?" Sam shrugged, and then looked at Eliza. She took her bag from Nathaniel and set it in her lap, glancing at him and then Eliza. "Where'd Landin go?" She asked, frowning.

Harmony nodded to Robin after she declined her offer. "Alright then," she said. She then watched Marko kindly return a baby bird to the nest, seeing Robin look at her out of the corner of her eye. Harmony to return the surprised look, since she was also surprised herself, and silently followed Marko farther on.

Eliza closed her eyes, nodding slightly to Nathaniel. "I'm fine..." she said drowsily. Then she felt arms take her by the armpits and assisted her over to the shade. "I'm...okay," she insisted. "I'm just...tired, I think. I just feel...like a useless sack of potatoes." (I seriously don't know what's wrong with her. XD XD XD Maybe she could be affected by something?? )

-- I don't think she should yet, with the battle so soon and all... --

ooc;Not sure what to say for Nathaniel... or Robin. +__+ Still in this?

ooc: sorry was out of town and didnt have any means of reaching a computer :D Yeah I'm still in this

bic: Fawn watched everyone depart to go hunting, She looked around confused, feeling just a bit forgotten. She pulled her bow off her shoulder testing the string and then turned to walk into the forest but stopped when she saw Sky leaning against the tree by himself." Hey Sky, was wondering if you wanted to come with me and hunt?" She asked smiling at him.

ooc: so whats going on with the soul eaters?

" Hey Sky, was wondering if you wanted to come with me and hunt?" Fawn asked him. He looked pained. "Um... I don't think I'll be of ay help to you... I can't hunt really," He said, rubbing his neck. "Thanks though," He nodded gratefully. He was loud, he'd just scare away everything.

Fawn laughed but smiled at him." That's alright, I would like some company anyway. Come on." She said noticing his pained look on his face. She had known Sky since they were little, but they never had really spent any time to get to know each other." It doesn't matter if your bad or not, you just need to learn how to be quieter with those monster feet of your." She joked.

" It doesn't matter if your bad or not, you just need to learn how to be quieter with those monster feet of yours," Fawn joked. Sky rolled his eyes, but followed her. "I feel like I'm stepping on every stick," he said as he crunched his way through the forest.
