"Not only are we kids, but if we go out there I have no doubt our more... primal ways will take over. A pecking order would be established, and I think we would find ourselves in a situation that would make lord of the flies look like a daycare." Novik nods to himself.
He looks to ava and gives a soft smile. It was obvious she had to deal with her brothers... impulsive ways rather often. Maybe she could talk more sense into him.
"Also if we leave and happen not to come back, the next generation of this village would be sorely lacking in the genepool area. They need our genes at least so that the village doesnt fall to inbreeding."

Charles Leans forward on the table with his elbows."I never read that book is it anygood?"He asks with a questioning look on his face.
"Anyway.....is'nt it the least bit appealing to set out to do something your father couldn't....our fathers, and those other men where all great and powerful men and you're telling me you never even once wanted someone to say that about you......think about it children setting out into the unknown comming back after finding their long lost parents lost in the world and bringing them home....now that would be a story for our children....."He says with a dreamy smile on his face.

Her face turned a brilliant cerise color as she realized what exactly Novik was implying. "Um... I wasn't thinking that far ahead..."
She turned to Charles hiding her face. "You wouldn't try to impale, burn or otherwise maim me or Novik would you?" She asked, patting her brother on the hand. "No? Good." She grinned before he had a chance to answer.
"He's too far gone, Novik. There's no point in trying to talk any sense into him. Just use little words and don't make any sudden movements..." She stuck her tongue out at him before getting up and walking around the little room.
"We might as well eat, mom's probably not going to be back for a while." Outside it was already starting to get dark. "You want to stay?" She asked Novik, turning toward him.

He turns to Charles and shakes his head. Why sis he so stubborn about this? For all he knew... The only thing out there was a bunch of crazies.
"I agree.... This is going nowhere. We can talk more about such frivolry after we eat... that is if i am not imposing?" He asks. His face filled with hope.

"Not at all we're always happy to have guests...."Charles says packing away the journals, notes, and pen set and begins helping to set the table.
"Marlins mom is asking if we want her Yamik....."He says playing with his wooden spoon. A yamik was much like a normal bovine, except they had shaggy fur, produced richer milk, and males had a rack of antlers curved to form a kinda helmet around their head instead of simple horns.
"I personaly think the things smell but I'll see what mom thinks about it...."He says simply trying his best at small talk.

"I wonder where we would keep it… We’d need a pen, or at least a post for night time." She said. It really wasn’t too uncommon to see a yamik roaming around town occasionally. Usually they kept to grazing, not many bothered tying them up during the day since they always came back to their owners.
"I don’t know if she would have time to do anything with it… Like make cheese and stuff… I could learn how, but it sounds boring. It’s nice of them though." She said. She wondered why Marlin's mom didn't want her yamik anymore. It was often that their family received gifts, no mater how her mother insisted it was unnecessary. People were always friendly but more than that they were grateful to her for something or other.
She touched the pot then quickly withdrew her hands. "I hope you don’t mind if it’s a little hot…" She said before grabbing a rag to lift off the top.
She ladled it out into bowls and the stew sent curls of visible heat into the air. She reached into one of the cupboards to pull out a half-loaf of bread, which she tore into four pieces. She placed one by the burner to keep it warm but served the rest to the others.
"Is it good? It’s mostly left over’s." Ava said sliding back into her seat.

Novik listened to the dinner conversation idly. He looked down at the bubbling stew and listened to the growling that arose from his stomach. Cautiously he took a sip... Instantly he felt as if he was in heaven. Warm broth with chewy pieces of meat and juicy vegatables....
"ITs most delicious!" He exclaimed loudly. Rocking the table a bit with his movement.

"Aw god dangit. I got lost." Ari said walking in no real direction. She saw a shadow, maybe it was her home! She walked closer and closer but the corners and edges were not familiar. She tried to stop walking but she couldn't Her curiousity lead her and wasn't going to stop untill she was at the door of the house." ((I'm not sure if that was a great way to jump in. )

"I take it you dont eat stew that often?"Charles asks.
Otto waddles in having pulled all the feather off himself he hurries over to the table with a low groan.
"NO STEW FOR YOU!"Charles shouts causing Otto to back up into the bedroom doorway.
"You're right though it is good..."He says finishing the bowl, drink, and bread before even setting his spoon down.
"I'll tell you what.....there are some more names in these journals......just give it a few weeks...if we can round then all up and explain to them the current situation...then we can all look at it in a managed order....then would you at least consider comeing with us?"Charles asks acrost the table to Novik.

"We?! I never agreed..." She muttered.
She ate slowly, playing with her food a little by twirling her spoon through it. "Thanks, I didn't know it was that good." Ava said laughing a bit.

"Marcos told me to meet him here, were is he?" Ari whispered. She held the sky clue jewel in her fist tightly. "I believe I heard my name, Ari?" "Yes, Marcos, is that you?" Ari said. "Yes, let's go someplace more private, did you bring the necklace." Marcos said cooly as he lead Ari down the street. It seemed as if there was no place to go but he took another step and went underground. Ari followed. "Yes, I did." "Put it on, it shows your loyalty as my apprentice." Ari snapped it on, and smiled, maybe this wasn't going to be so bad.

"I will have you know that bread makes the staple of our diet. It is nutritious, edible even if stale, and make a mean doorstop!" Novik mutters to no one in particular.
Novik looks up form his empty bowl to stare at his benefactor warily. "If you can somehow manage to gain the support of this villages youth, there would be little I could do but go. Someone would have to make sure you didnt all die. the village depends on on us!'

"Not much worry there...I happen to be very persuasive...."Charles says stacking his emptied dishes.
He lets out a large sigh indicating his stomach was full. Leaning back grinning Charles suddenly relizes the time. It was almost dusk, and their mother would be home any minute. She would brobably make a couple comments about how she should be nitfied when company was over while she wasn't there but Charles had already thought of a excuse for that.
