The human sits by the centre fire. Reading his book. Fervently. Even gasping or ‘oooh-ing’ when finding out something new. He’s quite obviously invested in his studies.
“So,” he starts. Setting the book down and crossing his legs. “I wonder if Necromancy could be applied to something inanimate— like, a wooden doll or something— provided that there’s a heart in it? Or does it only work on something that was completely alive once? In that case, wouldn’t it still work since technically the tree that made the doll was living once? This is a bit vague, I know. I only just now had the thought.” He laughs nervously.
“Really?!” Before he can restrain himself he grins broadly. Quickly shuffling over to sit with her. Opening up the book to the index. “Here, you read some. I’m already a few chapters ahead.”
“That’s why I’m studying it so much. Not only is it an interest, but it could save our lives one day.” Ori gently rebuts. Looking over to the stargazer. “You’re a Cleric, aren’t you? I’m sorry if my hobby offends you…” he chuckles nervously. Twisting a loose string on his sleeve.(edited)
Blushing, he grins and covers his face. “Aw, it’s nice to know you care.”

Uncovered, his eyes turn back to Valorie. Leaning in to see what page she’s on. “I really enjoyed how the author wrote the introduction. Was rather poetic.”
I never said i didn't.. Besides.. You're at least becoming a bit less of a Spoiled Brat now and thus more tolerable.. *She said without looking at her* We did good. but we only put a dent in what we owe... We still have more to gather to completely Bury our Debt.
Ori comes back out of his thoughts. “What? Oh— right the mines. I have a dagger with me.” To prove it, he pulls it from somewhere in his robes. Unsheathing it. “See? We can try and sneak up and take them quickly and quietly.”
Ori has a sudden thought.... if they can sneak up on the goblins... then the same must be true if they set up camp....... they, could be the ones snuck up on... what if there is a shift rotation... how long has it been since they got there..... the thoughts swim in his mind as he starts to realize the situation they are truly in at the moment.
Ori makes a face. Suddenly still and on edge. “Um, ladies…” he leans in. “If we can sneak up on them… doesn’t that mean they can do the same to us?” His eyes shift around. Worrying that there is in fact goblins watching them this very moment.
Emara realizes, perhaps the reason they haven't heard a peep from the goblins in the mines... is because they could be readying defenses and gathering more for an ambush. The reason it's quiet isn't because they didn't notice, but because they did, and are preparing for whatever caused it... WHOever caused it...

That they just made the largest "WE'RE HERE AND WE'RE COMING" announcement they could have made.... And that there element of surprise, just went out with a glorius "BANG"
Everyone. whatever weapons you have.. *She stands* You should Draw them. and we should find somewhere to hide and soon. Get as far from here for now as we can.. We've made our presence known. and i have a feeling it's going to be taken advantage of soon..
