[F.O.E.]

The spider laughed indulgently at the child's question.
"No, tiny human. I'm not a mercenary or a guard. I'm a Bael."

"Um... I was asking what your job was, not what your race was."

[GiglameshDespair]

THe spider looked somewhat confused. She'd already answered that question.
"I'm a Bael. I do what all Bael do. I don't only have one 'job'. That'd be weird. "

[Caellath]

After trotting around the upper areas' patrol to make sure no enemy was approaching and they seemed well enough - Lestat did look like he had seen the worst of the fighting - Aenbarr nodded to his companions before returning to the place he had just left.

"Since you're both drifters, how about you join up with us?" The question was directed both at the Doog and Larini, though he focused his attention on the monster man, apparently realizing something. "By the way, I did not catch your name. Mine is Aenbarr Creidhne Mawr. Was it you who saved the child?"

[GiglameshDespair]

"It depends. Will I get money to eat if I do?"

[Caellath]

"Being hired means you're paid with money."

[GiglameshDespair]

"Good! This spider has been wondering what it tastes like." She snapped her talons in realisation. "Ah! They must be the fluffy animals outside the city!"

[Caellath]

"Money is something with trade value which you exchange for food. It is not edible."

[GiglameshDespair]

"...eh? Why would people give you food for it?"

[F.O.E.]

THe spider looked somewhat confused. She'd already answered that question.
"I'm a Bael. I do what all Bael do. I don't only have one 'job'. That'd be weird. "

"Oh, are all Bael like you? Cause Ms. Annelida seems to just sell silk and do nothing else."

After trotting around the upper areas' patrol to make sure no enemy was approaching and they seemed well enough - Lestat did look like he had seen the worst of the fighting - Aenbarr nodded to his companions before returning to the place he had just left.

"Since you're both drifters, how about you join up with us?" The question was directed both at the Doog and Larini, though he focused his attention on the monster man, apparently realizing something. "By the way, I did not catch your name. Mine is Aenbarr Creidhne Mawr. Was it you who saved the child?"

While the child was distracted by Larini, Isaac had stood up and streched.

"Truth be told, I've been looking for a group to join so I see no reason to refuse. My name's Isaac Solaz and yes, I did save the boy; ask him or the Bael if you have doubts."

[Caellath]

"...eh? Why would people give you food for it?"

"Trade value. Coins are paid for services so you can buy more than just food, goods like shelter or clothing. I can teach you about that later if you want, but the important part is that you'll get to eat."

He then turned his attention to Isaac.

"No need; what I've heard so far seems enough."

[Haspen]

Suddenly Isaac could feel something very very strange - someone was rubbing his ears from behind.

That was Andala, smiling brightly at those lovely perky little ears.

"Mm, such lovely fluffy cuddly little ears!" She paused when she noticed she was a bit too forward.

"Oh, oh, sorry! Couldn't resist."

[F.O.E.]

At this point in his life, having traveled throughout almost all of the continent save Sanctuary, Isaac had grown accustomed to ear rubs, unexpected or otherwise.

"It's no problem," he said, dismissing incident.

[Haspen]

"Really??" She reached up and gave his ears just one more rub.

[Tiruin]

"Oh, hello there Elysia. How goes the battle? I found my gear; apparently one of my companions though it'd be hilarious to hide them. Is there anyway I can help?"

"I'm part of the militia assigned to this part--you could help by tagging along with me and the others here, acting as security or just aiding us along the way just as you did before. I'd be happy to be with someone of a kind heart (pay included). Or help the townsfolk here learn to protect themselves; Meles may need more able hands, as I've a feeling we'll be reassigned soon given the recent commotion."

She smiled as she looked at the rest--everyone was alright (sans some of the invaders). Then a thought hit her.

"Though we could use the initiative now and find out where these ruffians came from. They're all well-equipped for a raiding party. Maybe they've a camp nearby?"

[GiglameshDespair]

"Trade value. Coins are paid for services so you can buy more than just food, goods like shelter or clothing. I can teach you about that later if you want, but the important part is that you'll get to eat."

"That's weird." she saidm but left it at that, satisfied things would be explained later.

The world outside the tribe was so strange.
