█ █The Elden Prince█ █ Jhann was more saddened than angry by the departure of the two soldiers. He truly hoped they would get back to safety before the sun had set completely, though he doubted that. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath and turned back to the other party. "Please, forgive them. They know little outside Naiøria. Perhaps it was unwise to leave without someone more experienced in the Skaglands..." He noticed Taya hiding and felt a pang of guilt for his men's words. "Do not be afraid, Taya. You have my word that we will not harm you or your companions." He listened carefully to Fawkes' words. "I trust you on that, but hope you are wrong. They may be ruled by fear, but they are good men at heart."

-Ordo Vadamee- Ordo turned to Taya as the people ran off. "No one will harm you. I promise." He turned back around to face Jhann as he talked about heart. "Fear is a sign of cowardice. If they were good and brave, they would not have ran." He looked at the camp before gathering some branches and sticks. Any wood he could find really. Kneeling down he opened his mouth, a flame flying out and igniting the wood. He revealed one thing about himself just then, dangerous as it may be, he was one trick less if the guys got violent. Taking his weapons off his back he sat down on rock and looked to the others. "Fire."

Taya soon nods her head as both Ordo and Jhann saying that she had nothing to fear so she takes a breath to calm her racing heart so she took her hood off so they can see her face was seen then she sat down then she took out her small harp that she made then her tail drapes and lands on her lap then she started to play and hum to herself but a little loud for the others to hear as her eyes closed so she can be more focused on her music in hopes to calm the others.

█ █The Elden Prince█ █ There was more murmuring behind Jhann as Talyc breathed fire on the wood. Jhann was surprised momentarily, but remembered reading about the Dragonborn, what little there was to read about. "A useful ability. You're of the Dragonborn, yes? While combat is intrinsic to your species, it is not of mine. I partially disagree with you, Talyc. While they let their fear overcome them and their discipline leaves a lot to be desired, valour is not the only virtue. These men were unprepared for this encounter and their thoughts were with their lives and families. The fault lies with me for not having prepared them better. Evidently, I require more experience." Jhann unbuckled his scabbard and placed it on the floor. He then unfastened his crossbow and quiver and placed them on the floor as well. He requested this of the remaining soldiers. Hesitatingly, they complied.

-Ordo Vadamee- Ordo chuckled a little. "How little people know of my kind surprises even me." He stood up and walked over to one of the abandoned swords. Grabbing and bending the blade in half. "You use a weak steel. And before this I was a blacksmith. Worked in Makers forge under the eyes of the Stomefather. My hammer forged from the heart and tears of the Stomefather." Dropping the blade he walked back to his seat. "Fighting only became involved in the last few years. But it still happens, a chief dies, the mean compete in battles to the death, last man standing is chief." He leaned back and listed to Taya play and hum. It was good and even her hums were beautiful. "We judge people by their words. Your words are your bond. You say you'll do something, you do it."

█ █The Elden Prince█ █ One of the men trembled at the sight of his ruined blade. "Impressive. However, you have deprived one of my men of his blade." Jhann said with a raised eyebrow. "Perhaps you could impart on me knowledge of your people then, Talyc? In exchange for the bent sword?" Taya's music washed over the men, calming them. The two with intact blades even seemed to be enjoying the moment a little.

Taya listened to the others speak around her then one of her ears twitched of the sound of a broken blade but she soon relaxed as she slowly opens her eyes as she gazes at the fire but she continues to play her music to calm the others and herself but her gaze did not meet Jhann 's men for she was afraid to scare them off so she looks down at her harp and continues to play.

-Ordo Vadamee- Ordo chuckled a little bit more. "Knowledge... okay. Talyc means Death in my native tongue." He took the broken blade and placed it on the rock he sat on. Opening his pouch he brought out a hammer and pliers. Using his flame to heat the metal as his tools aided in reassembly. It took him a short amount of time but soon he was seated normally, sharpening the blade and cleaning it off. "Fixed. If your curious our politics are clan based, you prove your strongest in the arena. Strongest man becomes chief." Leaving out the fact that you had to kill your opponents and by some magical means they were brought back, but it was in depth discussion for another time. "When things when tits up out here we voted and decided to be neutral and offer aid to all sides."

█ █The Elden Prince█ █ Jhann retrieved the fixed blade and felt the weight of it. He placed it back into its scabbard and handed it to its owner. "Thank you." Jhann thought for a moment on Talyc's words. "Our leaders are decided by birth." He looked at the ground for a moment, eyes closed. He looked up and said, "Blood rules and the strongest bloodline is named Árkhōn, or monarch in the common tongue. Their spouse is known as king or queen, but the Árkhōn is in charge. My f-" he hesitated and scolded himself mentally. "The current Árkhōn is a good man. He has served his country in both combat and politics and values knowledge and honour most." He thought for a little longer on Talyc's words. "Wait a moment, Talyc means death? Is this a typical naming convention among your people?"

 FANTHRALL MURES
Seeing that the group appeared to settle, each tending to their own little tasks, even if Jhann so naively believed the men might survive the terrain out there. Being good had little to do with anything, in his opinion, and it appeared that Ordo shared that sentiment. Regardless, as the Dragonborn settled to make a fire, he left his cart unattended for the time being and slipped off, stalking off further, alone. He had promised to deliver a meal, and so he would. Birds might have been easiest to catch under normal circumstances but in the area-- the few birds remaining had far too sinewy meat to be cooked right and whilst he could likely find himself something to roast over a fire, he had to remind himself that there were more than one to feed.
A difficult task that might have concerned others but not Fanthrall. He studied the terrain for tracks, and found them some ways further from the group. From then on, it was all about baiting, and... what better bait was there for the creatures of the wastelands than the scent of fresh blood. He drew his dagger, cut a finger just enough to dribble it upon a carefully designed trap, and stalked further to await; to hunt the hunters of the Skags.

-Ordo Vadamee- Ordo shrugged. "It's more of a title and nickname." He folded his arms, taking off his chest piece and placing it beside the rock. "A child gets it if they are only one who is alive when a clan is killed. An adult gets it if they have a large enough body count." Grabbing his polish kit he began the meditation of cleaning his armor. "It's a good thing for our people, bad thing for outsiders. And only way an outsider gets close is if a chief likes ya." He kept up his cleaning as he looked to Jhann. He chose to ignore Jhann's fumble. "I'm three hundred and twelve years young kid, killed a lot and of many species. Fight so my people don't have to." After he finished his chest plate he moved on to the boots. "You learn things when you ask. I'll let you have three more questions before I go out on watch so we don't get ambushed."

Taya listens to the others speak then she smiles no wonder her older brother admired the Dragonborn but then without realizing it, she frowned and stops playing her music as she remember her brother and she missed him so much. Her eyes soften as she looks down at her harp then she thought,'Gabriel..' she was so lost in thought.

█ █The Elden Prince█ █ "Ah that makes sense." He was beginning to like this Dragonborn. He reminded him of a stern, but fair teacher he had a long time ago. "To have a title like that and the manner in which you speak suggests you hold a high position yourself, Talyc. My next question then, are you the chief of your tribe? If so, why are you so far from home?" He had been aware of the music, but didn't really notice it until it stopped. He noticed Taya's frown and approached her. "You may look different to anyone I have ever known, but I recognise the look in your eyes. You have lost someone close to you." His eyes reflected Taya's pain.

-Ordo Vadamee- Ordo looked to Taya. "Aye... I am a chieftain. And I fight so my clan doesn't have to fight." He went over to Taya, sitting down and putting an arm around her. "You miss someone. It might help you it might not, but when the thought of them gone pops up think about the good times." He gave a kind smile as he held Taya a bit. "The music is beautiful Taya."

Taya snaps out of it then she nods her head toward then she began,"My older brother Gabriel, he admired the Dragonborn for their strength and courage but you are right, I do cherish the great times that we once shared when we have grown up together..but at these dark times, Not only our enemies bring fear to the innocent but we sometimes have enemies living under the same roof.."
She blushed light as Ordo put his arm around her then she smiles lightly,"Thank you, its not everyday that others admire my music.." she made a gentle smile then she looks at her harp then she smiles,"Not only I lost my brother but my mother as well..she had passed as she gave birth to me.." she never mention her father for she still get nightmares from talking about him, it was thanks to him that she is so timid and afraid around men but now, her being around Ordo, Jhann and Fawkes, she fel relaxed for some reason.
Taya then said,"My brother may admire the dragonborn but I am also admire humans..no matter what they say about our kind.." she looks at Jhann then said,"please do not be hard on your men, let them think what they believe in, if they believe that we are monsters then I accept those words with opens arms.." she then lifted her harp a little then she plays the same song again while her ears lowered against her head and she also hummed as well.
