Forcellia, or at least the part of it that contained the clearing in which the group now found themselves, wasn't exactly welcoming. The ground was little more than rocky soil, the sky violet-grey and overcast. Here, it was evidently late afternoon, edging into evening. It was slightly humid, as if from a recent rain; faint clouds of steamy mist seemed to curl off the ground, partially obscuring their view of their surroundings. Scraggly trees rose up out of this mist here and there, as if grasping towards fresher air.

The villagers in the area had supposedly been contacted ahead of time, and this had been the place they’d agreed to meet the crew. Whether or not they knew anything about this supposed Scepter of Domination, however, was not yet clear. What the Scepter even did or how it might contribute to their struggle was even less clear.

In the distance, they might hear the occasional whinny of a horse, or the lowing of a cow carrying up to them from the distance, though it was difficult, if not impossible, to tell from which direction the sound was coming from.

"I'd feel like maybe I wouldn't need people up in my grill if I did a bang-up job protecting my own home in the first place! You think that fire trench is gonna keep you safe forever?" He turns around and stalks off, throwing a last glare over his shoulder. Anger is an easier emotion to deal with than disentangling the idea that she might have a point.

Clearly, this was the best time for Shoutarou to show his face again - he's calmed down a bit from before, but Shiris' outburst at Punchy did get his attention. He's seen that dogged drive to protect one's home too many times before.

Namely, every time he looked in a mirror.

"If it were me, well..." He pulls his hat off, then sighs. "I'd probably be about as frustrated as you are, if not more. And probably deck the guy who came riding in."

"Punchy... Has an odd way with words, but from what I've seen, he means well."
thisclinchesit: (Heh.)

There's a pause before Shoutarou's curiosity gets the better of him.

"...I take it you don't like elves around here much, do you?"

"Well, just the way you reacted to some of the others in the group upon your arrival, and your comment just a moment ago. Merely curious."
