Jinx sat down holding Alcharius tight. She sighed heavily, her voice full of sadness, "Why is he doing this?" she asked almost forgetting what had just happed when she say Bryce out of the corner of her eye.

Bryce was now sitting with Felix, the two reading maps of some sort.

Lilium stood and stretched, collecting clothes from people's bags, and began sewing up holes. Ini however looked on with concern at the girl, "I-Is everything okay?" He frowned kneeling next to her.

"So, we can take the passes, which would be more direct," Felix was saying, pointing out the relevant points on the map. "But would be more dangerous, and could be slower anyway. Or we can pay it safe and stick to the valleys as much as possible." He indicated a longer route. "Or, third option, we can look for a tunnel. But that's hit and miss; most of them aren't mapped properly, even today."
Alcharius meanwhile understood what Jinx was talking about and just gave a sigh in response, feeling sympathy for her.

"Yeah, everything is okay. I am just jinxed is all," she laughed lightly at herself, but it quickly faded away. "Men are stupid cheating, pigs," she said angrily, "Why couldn't I have turned out lie Hitmoi, I wouldn't have to worry about guys..as much." she laughed again.

"Well, if I didn't like men, I wouldn't be depressed over one." she giggled. "But I don't think I can change that."

"Nu! I mean, why are men jerks?" He smiled weakly sitting down beside her.

"Well, actually there are several spells which could help you," Alcharius interjected. "Why, I believe there are certain places on Narga where you can get it done for you! ... or, er, to you, as the case may be."

"Alcharius!" Jinx yelled. "I don't really want to be one. I just wish that men would stop using me. Bryce wasn't the first person to do this."

Lilium simply stood up, before starting almost a tirade, "Y'know Jinx, they're only using you if you keep doing this to yourself. It's pointless to get so worked up over a kiss. This isn't amusing anyone," she growled, her normal voice (which sounded annoyed, and somewhat cruel to begin with) seemed to be exemplified 10 fold, "This is simply pointless to get so worked up over a man, the leader of the party anyhow. He's a knight, he acts with chivalry, that's what he does. Save the princess from the castle, get a kiss, game ove-" Ini suddenly interrupted, "Oh, just like in Mari-" before a voice in his mind interrupted him, screaming at him not to break the fourth wall twice in one post.
"There's no point in doing this Jinx! All the time I've been with you, you're hunting after Bryce, and moping over one sodding kiss! If you want to be with him, you're surely not winning any points by sobbing. Honest to Aether, did you ever consider for a simple moment if he cared to be in a relationship? Did you ever bother to go talk to him and tell him how you feel instead of continuing this constant melancholy? I've been listening this whole damn time and trying not to b***h about it, but gah! I can't bear this any longer! Just ********.. I don't know, think about what I just said, and quit whining! I'm going outside of the cave for a little bit. I need some time away from this." And with that, Lilium threw her needles to the ground, took her backpack in one fell swoop, and stomped outside.

Felix had stopped talking to Bryce as Lilium launched this little tirade against Jinx. Her gaze followed the halfling out as she left the cave. Silence reigned for a few moments. Then, however, the elven alchemist gave a shrug and turned back to Bryce. "Anyway, like I was saying..."
Throngar, on the other hand, eventually sighed and got up. "I'll be back shortly," he told the others in a grumble before following Lilium out of the cave.
Alcharius just sat there, tensed and waiting to see how Jinx took it...

Lilium had wrapped a scarf of sorts around her mouth and nose, using it to filter out the sand; it was a technique her tribe had taught her when passing through deserts. Lilium was walking out into the sand storm when she heard a crunch behind her and she turned around, the sand furiously blowing up into the sky. "Throngar. What do you want?" She growled, stopping in her tracks.

Throngar for his part had cast a quick spell around his head to give him a constant supply of sand-less, reasonably still air. "Just out for a stroll, like you," he grunted in response to her challenge, in a firm but not-too-aggressive manner. At least, it was no more aggressive than his usual manner. "That against the rules?"

Lilium smiled gently, though you could not tell except from her voice, "I wouldn't know there were rules to begin with then; well other then common sense such as killing every living thing is generally frowned upon."
