Passing Through|Beastlands

[pladas]

A single figure treks through a heavily wooded area. He was on a journey to somewhere, he never quite figured out where. Yawning slightly as he paused leaning against a tree. Hopefully he could get through without much fuss, so far so good.

[Devon]

Crouching low against a branch in the tree above the man, lies a dark figure. The panther-affinity named T'Challa watched the man beneath the tree intently to see what type of action he was going to take.

[pladas]

He hesitates. Pausing as his ears strain. Was there something...perhaps. He would have to take a look. Not one to take terribly large chances Nathan would brush his hand along his hip, resting his hand on the pommel of his blade. Taking no grip but leaving it close to drawing.

He would speak in a calm clear voice, unsure if anyone was actually there. "How long you going to stay watching?" He would say.

[Devon]

T'Challa makes a quick leap from the tree branch to the ground. Standing in front of Nathan he growls. "Who are you and why are you here in these lands?"

[pladas]

Reflexively Nathan's hand would grip the hilt of the weapon sitting as his hip, his demeanour however would not change. His raises his left hand open palm "Hold on" He would say quickly, not wishing to draw a terribly large amount of attention.

"I'm just passing through. No need for any trouble, right?" His stance would shift slightly, wether from discomfort or getting ready to make the first move.

[Devon]

T'Challa's stern glare relaxes slightly and he makes no sudden moves against Nathan. "State your name."

[pladas]

Nathan would relax. Loosening the grip he had on his hilt. "My name is Nathan Asurai." He would nod and continue "May I ask yours?"

[Devon]

T'Challa seems to calm down more, but his glare doesn't lessen. "I am called T'Challa, I roam this forest as its protector. Tell me Nathan Asurai, what brings you to my woods?"

[pladas]

Nathan relaxes his hand, moving it off, but not away from his blade. "I am merely passing through it. I am on a journey, I did not mean to disturb your lands."

[Devon]

"A journey?" T'Challa asks. "Where could you be heading to that you need to travel through here? I apologize, but I am not used to strangers in these parts. Most mean to do ill to these lands."

[pladas]

"Uh...err" He would pause, rubbing the back of his head. How to explain without sounding crazy.

"I'm sort of...exploring...I guess would be the best explanation of it."

[Devon]

"Exploring? What kind of exploring?" T'Challa wasn't trying to be rude, but he always had a multitude of questions for outsiders who entered his domain.

[pladas]

"Just trying to see the world. I'm a bored person you see, but I mean no harm" He would say, he had no problem saiting the curiosity of this person, it was rather good diversion to walking.

[Devon]

T'Challa nods and turns around, "Come with me. You look tired, I'll bring you someplace you can rest and get food." Without another word the panther-affinity started on his way.

[pladas]

Nathan would shrug. He was a little wary of the creature, but certain he would be able to handle himself if he had to escape. Following at a short bit of distance.
