[OOC: i think she's been up there quite a while, teal... me and rach worked out that she's been up that tree roughly two or three days... maybe Jan agreed that day, and has been looking for her since then...]

Smick tried to keep his head down, shivering. He could see the glances of the villagers, and could tell that he wasn't welcome here. I gotta find Ludd... he thought. Out loud, he said: "I doubt that he's likely to attack any of us individually in the town, I think we'd be safe going our own separate ways now, yeah?"

The bright-green-skinned mudokon that he'd never really learned the name of nodded. "Agreed." He began to walk off. As he walked away, Smick realised that he'd never heard that mud speak more than two words at once in all the (how long was it?) five months they'd been working together, tracking Malice. He'd generally been pretty quiet.

Smick turned to Hoan. "What did you plan on doing in the town?"

The lithe mud smiled. "I thought I'd check out the area, and ask around a bit. I'm probably more likely to get to talk with the villagers if you're not around, no offense intended, or course..."

Smick nodded, biting his lip. "Yeah, I understand." As Hoan sauntered off, Smick bent down to Aura. "Do you have anywhere you need to go?"

The little slig was looking around, anxiously. "I need to find my companion, Jan, but I don't know where he is..."

Smick looked around for a moment, following Aura's searching gaze. "Well, I need to find my companion, Ludd, and I don't know where he is either." He cocked his head to one side and looked down at Aura. "Shall we search together?"

Aura sighed. "Why not?" Smick smiled, and lifted her up onto his shoulders, and they wandered away together...
