Playing...Nice (Open)

[skuldar]

Acoma is completely enraptured with the colors around him. "Hey you two, did you notice how pretty the leaves were? I really think we should... hey guys!" He would call after them as they kept walking.

[Joy]

Joy didn't say anything, but the general sentiment she had atched Xapham's. One tiny step forward and several back. Not to mention the agitation coming off of her like an aura at the memory of the boy who had tried to tell them about the weird thing on his arm. Maybe she'd look for him again.

Her nose wrinkled slightly at the smoke lighting, a response to the change in smells around them than smoking, itself. At first she let Acoma admire teh world around him without pausing, only doing so when he repeatedly called to them. It couldn't be as simple as turning around and seeing one.

"What do you want?" She did stop, turning to face them both as her gaze lingered on teh man with horns.

[Xapham]

Xapham would raise an eyebrow and turn to look at Acoma.

"Hm?"

[skuldar]

"Just commenting on the leaves, unless we have somewhere specific to be, it might be good to see a bit of the world us during what time we have." Acoma would state then reflect on what might be ahead.

[Joy]

Joy stared at the man as he explained himself, the air seeming to thicken and darken around her for a moment as she processed the fact that he had stopped them to admire nature. Not that she hadn't been enjoying it a bit herself before a certain someone brought up glaring.

Reflecting on things tended to make her grumpy right now. She was trying to avoid that. Her nostrils flared as she inhaled, deeply, and let it out in silence.

"And?"

[Xapham]

Xapham just rolled his eyes as he took another puff off his cigarette.

[skuldar]

"Well, and, ummm... well... a young woman such as yourself shouldn't be bothering with much more than what is enjoyable as the season allows. At the current season, the change of a single leaf is one of the wonders that approaches the divine in the world. A simple machine shifting itself from a green, a lively color indicating much in the machinery of that of the production of the later colors... green through all the range of the red and the yellow... isn't that the fascinating and magical?? Acoma would ramble as the two members of the party looked at him.

"While we do look to the more immediate concerns, its always important to understand what has been maintained, what is alive, and most importantly the life before us and its continuous in all things we see... is not our understanding of life defined..." Acoma would ramble off regarding his many theories of existentialism and the relationships of living things.

[Joy]

Joy remained silent, her brows knitting together as she tried to understand what any of what was said had to do with her being a woman. In the end, she merely gave a short shake of her head.

"Being a woman doesn't mean I get to sit around while the rest fight so we can live." It was a rare thing to have peace, and even their celebrations had people missing to be out on patrol. There would be no joy if they were attacked in the middle of a celebration.

[Xapham]

Even Xapham would turn to Acoma with an Eyebrow raised.

"Hm... exactly where are you from to still be so naive of this world. It's dark, it's dreary, and it's full of death. There is no reason to have any foolish notion that gender should be segregated in any fashion."
