Episode 1 Scene 2 : The Next Day

Before arriving at the next farm, Quincy tells the group, "Of course I cannot pretend to know for sure, but I suspect that the fFolk man at the last farm was put-off by the makeup of our group. Although we work for the garrison, he might have had some prejudices. I hate to have to say this, but to avoid the same response at the next farm, perhaps only the three of us should approach at first?" He motions to himself, Corwyn and Magnus.

"Hmm might you be issue? Mukitz be friendly, Boo even more."

"Of course, that is a possibility. But in my experience, most often those who hold prejudices do so towards Uriaks and Yrocs. However, the man was fFolk, so he may have been triggered seeing humans as well. Hopefully, there is no need to, but shall we try a different welcome party this time?"

Mukitz seems to consider Quincy's statement for a while before hesitantly saying, "Okay but not like."

"Me neither, Mukitz, but I want to make sure we are able to help to our fullest ability."

"You could be right, although my speaking Elvish to him didn't seem to improve matters. Maybe I'd have got a better reaction from him if I hadn't been drinking so much last night!" Turning to Hath and Mukitz, he remarks, "Are there any Uriak or Yroc farmers on our route? If so maybe Hath or Mukitz could do the talking with them."

Both Hath and Mukitz are aware that there are some Yroc and Uriak farmers but neither of them know where their farms are located as they have never visited the farms before.

Mukitz gently takes Boo off his shoulder and sets it on Quincy's shoulder, "Boo go, Good counsel"

Quincy smiles as Boo scurries across his shoulders and to the top of his head as they walk towards the farm. He picks Boo up off his head, gives him a little scritch on his belly, and places him back on his shoulder as they approach.

"Good day ma'am. We come from the garrison of Bridgefort, investigating claims of broken equipment and damaged crops. Have you or anyone you know been affected by occurrences such as these recently?"

Quincy takes a deep breath, focusing his mind on the village, his family, and the mission at hand. He closes his fist in front of his face and says "For the village!", then looks back at the man with a smile as his arm glows.

"Thank you for the advice. I'm still full from breakfast." Corwyn calls over Hath and Mukitz.
Then he focuses his mind on the village and their task. Closing his fist in front of his face he says for the first time, "For the village!", looking to see if the sigil glows.

Mukitz seeing what Corwyn was doing says, "No here." he pounds his fist on his chest. "Over heart."

"For the village!" he repeats, this time with his fist over his chest.

Corwyn's hand glows softly blue, "Good." Mukitz gives Corwyn a thumbs up.
