"Rest would do us all good. You look as though you could use some sleep, Medo. And we've had a long and weary road before getting here."
Nodding at her words, Rin steps back to Vras, needing his help "Da?"

"Da?"
He steps forward and holds out his hand, smiling as he says to Esper, "Thank you."
She shakes her head. "No need. It was a breath of fresh air."

"Thank you."
"No need. It was a breath of fresh air."
Listening, Jakys nods formally to Vras as he and Rin leave, exhaling as the flap swings in the wind with the movement

Esper watches them go, sighing when they're gone. "That was definitely not what I had imagined it would be."

"That was definitely not what I had imagined it would be."
"Your tribe is definitely full of surprises." Jakys states quietly, eyes flicking to her as he pushes off the wall

"Your tribe is definitely full of surprises."
She smiles thinly. "They aren't my tribe. I was cast out years ago."

"They aren't my tribe. I was cast out years ago."
"They are more your tribe than they are mine." Jakys murmurs, quiet

"They are more your tribe than they are mine."
She shakes her head and turns back to the fire, watching the flames. "You belong here."

"You belong here."
"So do you, Esper." Jak replies quietly, popping a squat in the floor

"So do you, Esper."
She looks to him, gaze studying as she hides something that flickers across it. "If I may," she says after a moment, "What will you do if Iberia doesn't return?"

"If I may. What will you do if Iberia doesn't return?"
Stilling at the question, Jakys's gaze wavers before he cracks a small smile, shrugging "I suppose the engagement will be off and I'll return home."

"I suppose the engagement will be off and I'll return home."
"What of your people? What if the tribes could still remain together without the engagement, or the Sherai?" She hesitates and looks away. "I may not have lived here, but I can see the damage that the last few years have done, and I can see that our way of life is starting to fade. Our language is disappearing, they can no longer travel like they used to. They've been in this forest since I was young, and each year they move less and less. The Kaji'it are dying, and the Rajir are struggling to survive." She looks back at him. "I may not be a leader, but I can even see that returning to the home that you left would leave you and what's left of your tribe with nothing."

"I never said I would be taking my tribe with me." Jakys murmurs, quiet as he looks over at her, lips pursed "Even if I stay, what good would I be able to do? I'm not their leader."

"I never said I would be taking my tribe with me. Even if I stay, what good would I be able to do? I'm not their leader."
"You are. Many of them have accepted you as their own. Take Vras and his family," she gestures to the door. "The commander even regards you as a leader."

Jaw ticking, Jakys studies her a moment before he sighs "I will stay, if you do, help me lead."
