Alys chuckled at Evie's antics, eyeing the pair with perhaps a modicum of jealousy. She was unaware of their exact relationship, but it was clear that they were affectionate in some way. As someone with few friends of her own, it was always jarring to see close relationships in other people.

In any case, the glint that caught her eye turned out to be utensils. Alys reached down to pick up the spork-shaped object, tilting it this way and that in the scant light of the overcast day. The rain, though it had slowed, washed off any residual dirt from the thing. "Can we take these?" she asked aloud, glancing at Deimos for affirmation. It was a fascinating find, and she was always interested in the old and the strange.

She turned back to her pile of bones, making a few more selections and placing them in her basket. Then she straightened, stretching to relieve an ache that had set in in her back from being bent over the bones. At Deimos's instruction, she picked up her basket, braced it on her hip, and began to meander over to the other pile of bones.

Alys picks up a few more bones, the spork, and wanders over to the other pile of bones.

Noah
if there's a reason I'm still alive
when so many have died
Noah was thankful no one witnessed what happened to him. He had endured the mocking and jesting of both Evie and Deimos, and wasn't really sure he wanted to have it join the light rain around them before the woman who was just barely not a stranger. Sighing, the hunter stood and headed towards the others. While he did, still hidden beneath his cloak, he inspected the bones he had managed to retrieve. His brows knit together as he noticed something that hadn't caught his eye when he pulled the large bone from the rest of the skeleton.

Closing distance between himself and Evie, Noah lowered the hood of his cloak and pulled it off one shoulder. It draped over half of him in the brilliant colors it held when it wasn't activated, and Noah lifted the bone towards the warden. "Do you recognize this?" He asked her. Certainly Noah was assuming she would know -- the rumors of her brother's knowledge and book-loving nature definitely rubbed off on her, right?


Noah shows his bone to Evie and asks if she knows whats carved in it.

EVIE
like love is a bad word
Evie at least has the decency to wait for Alys to turn around before sticking her tongue out at Deimos, but it's a very near thing. If it were Noah perhaps she wouldn't have resisted, but best keep the wool over Alys' eyes as long as possible in regards to the juvenility of her new Wardens.

The utensils aren't anything fancy, but Evie is both sentimental and bird-minded enough to pocket them regardless. It seems Alys feels the same way, and the Evergreen grins over at her when she sees her doing it. She almost comments until Noah approaches with something in his hands, and the playfulness dissipates so she can give him her full attention.

Grimacing slightly at the question, Evie leans in to investigate the strange markings. "Sam was always the language guy, but I have all his books. We can take it home so I can reference them?" It's not a language she has memorized, but that doesn't mean she won't give a valiant effort for Noah, aided by her brother's collection. It would be up to Noah to determine if he was curious enough to bring it home.

DEIMOS
what tried to destroy you
didn't have the strength
“Go ahead,” Deimos announced in return to Alys, before wrinkling his nose at Evie once more as they moved along. The showers had begun to taper off, meaning their reprieve from the heat wouldn’t last much longer, and it made the Sword all the more anxious to start heading towards their next destination. “Pick and choose a couple, and then we can move on,” he announced to the group.

The bones here weren’t as plentiful, but there were enough around to ensure their prospects were far greater than before. While this time Noah didn’t find any further writing, scribing, or etching, he did manage to snag quite a few tinier bird fragments, including skulls and the outlining of where feathers would’ve been.

Alys ended up piercing through the bleached portions, and then upsetting a mouse who’d been making its home there! It squeaked and hissed, then ducked away, back into the reaches of some other domicile. Oh well!

Evie and Deimos were equally successful in their pursuits too – managing to grab a few longer portions to stash away in their bags. These weren’t as easily identifiable – but at this point, a bone was a bone, and would do just fine.

As the clouds began to diminish, and the sun began hovering back along the horizon in its treacherous summer promises, the Sword finally ensured it was time to leave. “Pack your things and we can head to King’s End.”

--

Final round! Pack up all your things and follow Deimos out. I’ll have the split thread ready to go!
still you stand

Perhaps it was a bit silly, to want to keep something as innocuous as a spork, but what can we say? Alys was a little bit like a magpie. She loved shiny objects. The spork, she thought, would add nicely to the little collection of sparkly, pretty things that she kept next to her bed in the Academy dormitory.

In any case, she tucked the spork away in her bag and moved on to the next pile of bones, largely ignoring her companions in favor of looking for more shinies in the dirt. Oh, and the bones. Because that was what they were there for, after all.

But this time, all she found for her troubles was an angry mouse, which hissed at her before scurrying off to its home. She stared after it, her brow creased in confusion, for she'd never met quite so angry a mouse before, before picking up a few more bones and tucking them away in her basket. As the skies began to clear, she picked up her basket and followed Deimos out of the desert.

EVIE
like love is a bad word
Success comes a second time, which is a relief because based on Noah and Alys, that luck will not be holding out for long. Especially as the rain begins to slow into a drizzle, clouds already starting to dissipate with astonishing swiftness beneath the oppressive heat of the sun. Glad for her drenched hair and clothes that would keep her cool until the sun dried her out, Evie puts her bones in her bag and catches up with Deimos.

It will be a lengthy journey to Kings End, but at least they will be leaving the desert. That's all Evie can hope for. Any longer and her freckles will multiply thricefold, not to mention the burns. Eager to leave, the Evergreen pops to Deimos' side and rocks on her feet, ready to get on the move.

Noah

Noah simply nodded as Evie gave him what knowledge she had. It was little, and though slightly disappointing, Noah’s curiosity was piqued enough for him to pocket the etched bone for later investigation and keep the other bones he gathered separate. With his cloak draped over his shoulder, Noah neatly arranged his findings as to not over weigh himself down on any side. Then, he followed the others. Moving out of the desert would prove to be something annoying, and so Noah offered himself. ”We can travel faster if we take turns carrying them.” Noah said to Deimos. ”But no one look in my eyes.” He warned, then used the pendant around his neck to shift into the massive basilisk. He let them climb aboard, and then headed towards their next location. Hopefully this would cut time in travel.


Noah shifts into a basilisk and lets everyone ride on to their next location.
