Aiya relaxed some. Her face never softened as she sat back down and fully sheathed her sword again. She couldn't believe males. There was a reason she didn't want to marry.

Raki keeps idly drawing in the dirt. He looks down thinking to himself, What's it going to take? Just tell me what to do and I'll do it.

"Y'know kid, you should generally not mouth what you're thinking, I could hear you quite well, whether you noticed it or not."
Warren chuckled with his eyes closed on the other side of the log.
"What's on your mind, Raki? Everybody else is off on their own. I'm not the best at advice, but I'll listen if you want."

Raki doesn't even look up, "No, just leave me alone."

With the gathered roots and mushrooms, Clare dropped them onto the pack by the fire. Turning to the sulking Raki and Warren, she decided they were to relaxed.
"Wash these and peel them, I want them added to the stew in ten minutes so we can eat in about twenty. Both of you."
Turning to Aiya clare made her way to the young girl who seemed at odds.
"How are you?"

Raki says barely audible, "Ok." He pulls out his tools and silently goes to work. He thinks to himself, If Warren heard me does that mean Clare heard me? Does that mean she knows how I feel about her? If that's true why does she act like she oblivious? Does she just ignore it so it doesn't interfere with work? Or, does she just not care? She's goes over to talk to Aiya but I get orders, that's not fair.

Aiya looked up at Clare. "I'm fine.... I guess I need to get used to male testosterone and how they work it off is all." She tried to relax, but failed at the attempt.

Raki glances up with his eyes only at Aiya and Clare. Keeping his face looking down at his job. All of a sudden he felt something he never thought possible. He felt... mad, mad at Clare. He was here first, he was the one who promised to protect her forever, the one who was... Raki tries to fight this. Clare was the only thing he had, if he lost her there was nothing. He finishes his peeling and washing, "I'm going to go take quick walk." He gets up and walks off.

"Meh, suit yourself, kid."
Warren stretched out and returned to his relaxed position once again, shaking his head slightly.
"And they call me insane. Heh."

Raki walks a short distance away, then he sits down on a log and rests his face in his hands, his elbows on his knees. He thinks to himself, trying to figure everything out.

Thorn still standing in the same spot since his ordeal sheaths his sword. after a few more minutes he goes walking off in a random direction, thinking about what had happened to him.

Raki sees Thorn but doesn't respond. He's not sure if he wants to talk to anyone at the moment.

Warren, still lying propped up at the log near the campfire, glanced all around him leisurely. He noted each member of the party. Each one seemed to be off sulking about in one way or another, save for Clare.
She was a Claymore, similar to himself, but carrying far more discipline and focus. She was attractive, but not by his standards.
She was strong and determined, that's what held this group together.
"But she is tense. As is everyone in this damned party," he chuckled aloud,"It's a sad thing when the insane member of a group is the only one who is able to remain in touch with his emotions and not appear as though the world is crashing down on us."
With another nonchalant glance at the group, Warren grabbed a mushroom from the collected washed pile, tossed it in the air and chomped down on it as it descended, devouring it whole. With a quick chuckle, he returned to stirring the soup and tending the fire.

Thorn contiues walking on thinking about his sword and the past events "i hope something like that doesnt happen again" his memory flashes to his reflection saying the horrible truth to thorn. "i must right the wrongs that i have bestowed upon myself...."
after a while thorn arrives at a cave as if he was drawn to it. "hmmmm....." he enters the cave and despite it being pitch dark in side he seems to be able to see just fine as if it wasnt dark. "something obviously different about this cave......" suddenly a shadowed figure emerges from within the cave. thorn draws his blade "who are you and what do you want" the stranger chuckles at him "why i am you heh heh heh heh" suddenly thorn sees the horrible truth that the stranger does indeed look exactly like him. "has the weakling come to perish in this lovely cave????" the 'shadow' thorn pulls out the same sword that thorn has except it is glowing red. "i may be weak..........but i will be not the one who perishes in this cave!!!" thorn dashes at the shadowed thorn using the extra boost of speed from the blue glow to strengthen the blow. thorns opponent just casualy sidesteps thorns attack and watches him go flying past.
"how.....how did you dodge???" he stared in disbelief. "quite simple accualy.....since im you i basicaly know all your moves, so in other words it make it easy for me to dodge" the shadow chuckles a bit "heh and you prove yourself as a weakling by using that pitiful sword of yours" Thorn glared at his opponent "weak!?!? pitiful!?! i show you whos pitiful!!!!!!!!!" the glow disapears from thorns sword as he dashes straight at his shadowed self exchanging blow after blow with it. "impossible!!!!" thorn made a fatal blow to the shadows arm. "h....how did you....hit me.....why cant i predict your moves????" thorn stands their for a few secounds before replying
"because i am using the skills i have once discarded you being the shadow of my former self know nothing of these moves making you the weak one!!!" the 'shadow' thorn growls in anger. "i show you weak!!!!" he makes severaly blows to thorn causing him to fall to his knees. "heh heh heh thats right bow like the pathetic weakling that you are" Thorn just sits their not responding or moving "fine if you wont bow then ill just have to kill you." he pulls his sword high above his head ready to kill thorn, thorn noticing that his shadowed self left him self wide open, toke the oportunity to attack back by stabbing him in the torso. his shadow stares down in disbelief as he sees the sword piercing his body "noooooo!!!!!!" thorn barly able to move stands up. "you should never underestimate your opponent......" the shadow suddenly starts to dissolve away. "its.....over" thorn exits the cave and slowly limps back to the camp site.

((Let me introduce a new concept to you thorn.....Paragraphs, there is NO way I'm going ot read that, cause I would get lost so often and reread or skip lines. That's all.))
Aiya's answer fit the situation perfectly, yet left plenty to be desired.
"Solitude is usually the only way I travel. This is pretty stressful. We should knock them all out and be done with it."
Looking at the pot, Clare knew the stew would be done in about five minutes and reached for the pack with the bowls and utensils.
