Kuan was on the verge of sinking her face into her hands, unable to muster up the mental energy it would require to debate with the ork, when Swarm's words caught her attention.

She blinked at him, at first confused before it clicked. After all, she didn't really think about her eye color that often!

"What...? Oh. You mean the blue and violet?" she asked, and shrugged. "I was born like that."

"We find it to be divergent to the norm," Swarm said. They placed their hands together, and returned their sight to the path ahead.

"It is rather interesting to us."

"It's uncommon, yes," Kuan said with a small shrug. Truth be told, few people noticed the difference unless they looked closely.

She looked away from him then and to the stream, then at Gutztomp. "If you can hunt well, then surely fishing should be easy for you?"

"Fish is too slippy," Gutztomp replied. "Dey slip right outta my 'ands."

"The Swarm," Swarm started, and they placed a hand on their chest.

"Will fish for the hunting party. If we hunt, or disturb the environment too much, our prey might take notice. It would make our task... significantly more difficult."

Swarm looked to Gutztomp.

"We realize that this may not play very well to the large one's strength. However, a swarm, no matter how small, must utilize the talents of all members if survival to the next breeding cycle is to be possible."

A pause.

"We are aware our metaphor is not perfect."

Kuan met Swarm's statement with a blank stare.

This was the weirdest goddess-be-damned questing party she had ever been a part of. Hands down. A large angry green man and a bunch of bugs in human clothes. Holy Inima, she was never going to get used to this.

"Yes. Right," she at last, finally breaking her stare with a blink. "That sounds agreeable. Whatever gets fish in our bellies with the least amount of trauma to the surroundings." She ran a hand through her hair and looked to the ork.

"You must be patient. You'll be able to utilize your strength when we encounter the Kirin. I promise you, we will need your power then."

Gutztomp let out a disappointed sigh.

"I make fire den," he said stalking off to get firewood.

Swarm waited until Gutztomp was out of earshot, and then looked to Kuan.

"We sincerely hope he doesn't fell any trees," they said, and then turned to fully face her.

"There is a river, not too far from here. Are we right to assume that you will take up the duty of setting up the campsite?"

Kuan rubbed the bridge of her nose, shaking her hsad. Hopefully no trees were harmed, indeed!

"Well, being I'm no doubt the only one here that even really needs a campsite...yes, I'll tend to that," she said with a nod, before pursing her lips. "Are there...any specific needs you have or...?"

"If you could site the camp near a hollowed tree, or a burrow, we'd appreciate it," Swarm said, and they went off towards the river to gather some food.

That was easy enough to do.

So while Swarm went off to fish, Kuan located a hollow tree and started to unpack her gear with the efficiency that came when you've done this many times before. She staked out the small tent and then assembled it, then went about digging a shallow fire pit. When that was done, she scouted around for dry branches and leaves for kindling, and piled them by the pit before she knelt and brought out her flint.

Soon enough, she had a small, merry fire burning, and she sat beside it carving a few small, extra branches she'd found to make the tips nice and sharp and perfect for roasting fish.

Swarm returned after a short while, definitely getting a decent amount of fish much faster than any normal human could. Around six salmon-sized fish dangled from his hand, tied to the fabric by small loops of spider silk. Each fish looked to be gutted already, and the only sign of damage was that each fish had a single hole right in the head, going all the way through one eye and out the other.

"we have brought fish," Swarm said.

"Has our green-skinned friend returned?"

Kuan looked up and squinted, glancing around the area.

"...Now that you mention it, he hasn't," she said with an arched brow.

"I definitely hope he hasn't gone off to catch the kirin on his own..."

Swarm stood still, for a few moments, before nodding, although the motion was stiff, and looked a bit rehearsed.

"We disagree. We postulate that the orc wandering off in a random direction leaves us with a significantly higher survival rate. If the kirin know we are coming, it will surely be more prepared to fight us."

"We also believe the orc would never have survived the encounter."

Kuan snorted at that.

"No, most likely he would not. Dealing with a kirin requires a little more finesse than brawn. They're powerful beasts."

She drew in a slow breath. "Which reminds me, we should come up with a plan for how to deal with it when we do encounter it. How much do you know about kirin?"

At Kuan's question, Swarm was quiet for a bit.

"We do not know much. We know they are strength and fire. The fire is what concerns us the most," Swarm said.

"We can ward ourselves, and you, and we know magic that can combat the Kirin."

"The fire is what will be most problematic," Kuan said with a nod. "And their luck. They are very lucky creatures, and some say they can actually manipulate it. I'm not sure how true that is."

She poked at the fire, stirring it, and carefully fed it a few more dry sticks. "Fortunately, I too have magic. I can...erode luck, so to speak. My hope is it'll be enough to neutralize whatever the kirin can do."

"We believe it will prove valuable," Swarm said, seemingly transfixed on the crackling fire in front of Kuan.

"For a being such as Kirin, their fortune weaving is intrinsic. It is intangible, and an instinct. It will think like it has the advantage in that regard, and act accordingly."

Kuan blinked. That was true, and she hadn't really thought of it that way.

If the beast just took its skill for granted, and just assumed it would work...oh, yes. That would certainly give them the upper hand. Wouldn't it?

"Hmm...you may be right," she said, and reached for a fish. "Have these been cleaned yet?"

When Kuan picked the fish up, she'd notice that there was an incision in the belly, and the eyes and organs were missing.

"We have already consumed our share of the fish. We will eat whatever meat the group doesn't."
