"That's not true. Considering my boss is one of my own kind, I don't think he'd lie. I don't trust men easily." She scoffed. "I know you men are more likely to cause trouble." She crossed her arms and said, "Just find us a cave, okay?"

He pushed a couple of rocks out the way to show a shallow cave and started building the fire "You know Elves can be horrible people too you know" he winced slightly as he burnt his finger on the growing flame, and making sure his mask was still on tight "I once met a Woman Elf who was using a charm spell to pickpocket men, got to give it to her thats a clever move" he chuckled sharpening his knife with a stone.

She rolled her eyes and sat down beside the fire. She leaned against a nearby wall and looked back at him. "How come you wear the mask? Seriously, you look ridiculous."  She lightly chuckled as she put her bow to the side and took off her nearby bag.

He laughed "I could make up some story how it protects me from the Deities seeing my sins, but in fairness its too stop my face being plastered on a poster" He'd lay a skewered lizard near the fire as it starts to cook, and he slid the mask off "But I guess I can accept a truthful elf, and I wont ask for a name, Name's keeps people pinned to one stop" he'd smirk and continue writing in the sand watching Fissures of gas continue going off in the valley and sounds of wildlife barely clinging on to its existence "Oh and if you save this place you know that all this beauty and animals will die out?, I mean it has to make way for new life right?" 

"Well, I've never been here before." She said as she brushed her hair to the side. "So I can't say much of course. But what I've seen from you, you sorta live here." She looked back at him after he took the mask off. "There, now isn't that better?" She lightly chuckled as she got comfortable. "Call me whatever you like if you don't want my name."

He started laughing again "I just kinda make it up as I go, I wasnt even sure that plant was Aloe Vera till I bit it" he looked at the fire throwing another stick on "I dont live anywhere really, I mean I use to had a big fancy house with a family but threw that away just for a life changing mission of mine" he stood holding a stick high "Because Im going to steal from a-" a low pitched growl grew near the entrance of the cave making Darian grow silent.

The beast itself was a Wild cat, yellow teeth stuck from its upper lip and its yellow pelt looked unkempt and mangled, the look on its faced showed hunger which from Darian's best thinking was due to the lack of food and the smell of him cooking the lizard on the fire. He looked back at the girl almost pitifully "Can you fight?"

"Of course." She said, getting to her feet and grabbing her quiver of arrows and bow. She aimed st the cat and fired, aiming perfectly at it. "Wanna help?" She called to him.

He smiled picking up a dagger and a embering stick and running at the Cat head on "Try to keep up now Huntress" as he narrowly missed a paw, allowing himself time to slice the Wild Cat's leg and continued to back up towards a fissure "See I was thinking, what sort of gas came out of these cracks, I hoping its the kind I want"  he chuckled

She lightly nodded and continued shooting at the cat. She lightly smiled and ducked as it swung at her, jumping back quickly as she could. She looked back at him and said, "I can keep up easily, no need to worry about me."

Allowing himself a couple more slashes at the Big Cat before back over the line of the fissure dragging the Elf back with him as he swung the Stick through the cloud of gas with embers catching light and exploding in the face of the Big cat with the smell of Burnt hair and hissing filling the air before it died down.

Darian looked at the body of the beast they just felled and began cutting its pelt and teeth "Maybe if we're lucky we can get a good price for it, right "Points"?" he said as he nimbly cut through the flesh and meat of the cat.
