Kuan arched an eyebrow at Swarm, because she still hadn't really wrapped her mind around the idea that he was not a thing, but things. Insects. It was, without a doubt, the creepiest, weirdest thing she had encountered, and she somewhat wondered if the Maharani would have granted his request had she known.

While the ork groused, she stepped a bit closer to Swarm. "What is it you'll do with the land given to you, if we're successful?"

Swarm's head turned towards Kuan, an odd mimicry of her movement. He didn't really have any visible emotions, since his head was little more than a head-shaped bundle of rags, but even then, there was a certain degree of reservedness to him.

"We do not yet know. It was a 78 percent consensus among members that having a plot of land would be beneficial to furthering the swarm."

Rhindeer

"Furthering the swarm?" Kuan repeated, her eyes narrowing an increment.

"For what purpose?"

"We do not yet know, a consensus has not been reached. Some want to build a hive structure, so that members may be housed without being a part of the mobile Swarm. Others believe such a thing will put us at odds with the human colonies," Swarm buzzed.

"Others believe we should seal the land off as a safe haven for the hive. A small minority wants to construct a giant spiderweb."

Rhindeer

"No," Kuan said, grimacing at the mention of a giant spider web. She rubbed at her eyes. "Just...no. No giant spider webs."

Swarm looked at Kuan, something made all the more disturbing by their lack of facial features. Still, she was being watched by millions of little eyes, all hiding beneath his wrappings.

"It is unlikely that proposition will reach fruition."

Rhindeer

"Ensure it doesn't. We've had enough problems with...nasties that shouldn't be here," Kuan said, recalling with a twist of her lips a recent case involving a certain murderous plant that had apparently taken out a woman's face--and brain, for that matter.

"In any case, we should be stopping soon. Just a little further, and we'll break for the night."

DaGlobster

"Must we?" Swarm said, a somewhat sad tone in their voice.

"We do not require rest. If we can continue moving, we would save mucb time."

Rhindeer

"You may not require rest," Kuan said with a look his way. "I, however, do. You could make yourself useful in the meantime by reconnoitering the area. See what you can find out. You say you have connections, correct?"
Adamaris // Aderyn // Aki // Alexander // Angel // Axieva // Beatrid // Briar // Cadmus // Corryn // Einin/Owl // Emery // Fang // Faolán // Faris // Frost // Hayate // Ife // Jayari // Jirou // Juniper // Katxiel // Khaiya // Kota // Kyran // Liam // Makani // Max // Maya // Mei // Nakato // Naovi // Nasrin // Niaaki // Niamh // Noor // Pepper // Qiana // Qismat // Quinn // Raxta // Riyarin // Rook // Sachi // Sahar // Siobhan // Simonea // Sita // Song // Summer // Valor // Yasmin // Yiroa

DaGlobster

"I do, and I have been," Swarm answered plainly.

They held out an arm, and one of the flies they'd sent out came back, resting on the palm. It buzzed in place for a few seconds, before crawling back underneath the rags that Swarm was wrapped in.

"The jungle gets thicker ahead, and traces of bears were found as well. If we continue on our current path, we risk altercation."

Rhindeer

"Hm. Then what do you suggest?" Kuan asked, looking over at the strange...being...that was Swarm. "Bears aren't generally an issue unless you bother them. And we do need to keep heading that direction."

When Gutztomp overheard them talking about bears he jumped into the conversation.

"Bears are nothing," he said. "I fight dem all the time. They got lots of meat on 'em. A good sized bear will last me all day."

DaGlobster

"We did not state that bears were an issue. We were simply stating the possibilities. Our scout detected multiple tracks, all with the same age. Pack bears might be present."

Swarm made it a point to ignore Gutztomp's posturing, and kept focused on Kuan.


Rhindeer

"We...are definitely not going to be fighting, or killing, any bears," Kuan said with a sharp look at the ork. "Our path will be one of the least amount of violence--to the land and to other creatures. And we're definitely not to harm the Kirin. Is that clear?"

Gutztomp's shoulders sagged in disappointment.

"But dat's no fun," Gutztomp said. "How 'bout just one. I'll eat da whole fing. None wasted."

DaGlobster

Swarm shook their head, and looked to Gutztomp.

"The sounds of conflict might push our quarry to flee. You must reign in your baser instincts."

Rhindeer

"Precisely. The point here is to be as unintrusive as possible. If you're hungry, there are plenty of streams. You could fish," Kuan said with a look at the ork.

"Fish," Gutztomp said in disgust. "You can't hunt fish."

DaGlobster

"The brute's concept of hunting is rather skewed," Swarm snarked.

"It's true, fish aren't hunted. They're fished. But they provide sustenance all the same. If it comes to it, we will fish for the group. Although many of us have renounced an aquatic life in favor of The Swarm, we would be more than glad to return to it, if only for a moment."

Silence for a few seconds.

"Kuan, your eyes are a different color."

Wicked Basket

"Your concep is skewed," Gutztomp shot back. "I can hunt much better den you, bugman. My trophy wall is full of things I killed. You bugs just eat da dead fings dat I make."
