On The Road - Emprise du Lion and Western Approach

[the_effect_she_has]

WHO: Christine Delacroix, Merrick Ashara, Samouel Gareth, Korrin Ataash, Kain Highwind, Katniss Everdeen, Cremisius Aclassi, Rachette Dakal, Salvatore, Dismas, Clint Barton, and Fenris
WHAT: Movin' right along, to our separate missions ...
WHEN: First week of Haring
WHERE: The Frostbacks - riding, camping, general hijinks
NOTES: Warnings for sarcasm and probable showing off.

The journey through the Frostbacks is, of course, a grueling one, but only if you are traveling alone. The Inquisition scouting forces are, without a doubt, not alone. Not by any stretch of the imagination.

So clearly, new stories and new friendships or hatreds are just waiting to be written...

"I didn't ask for your life story," Merrick says pointedly once she's done, but he does take it all in. He still doesn't quite understand it, but it's of no relevance to him either way. He watches her carve as he smokes; her technique is different than his, and inferior in his opinion, but she's not bad at it.

"I don't put much stock in the Old Ways," he remarks, adjusting his feet so they're as close to the fire as they can get without burning. "It just felt right, being in the woods. Made sense."

She arches an eyebrow at him, because he may not have asked but he listened anyways. She is starting to see why the others talk about Merrick that way - he does not want to show he cares. She's ... been there more times than she cares to.

She blows the shavings away, still working on her chess piece. "I do." Not said defensively, just said as is. She looked over at him sharply at that, before she smiled a little at her carving. "The woods are the only place that make sense."
