A Sigh of Relief
Subject: Whew
Kayla, still a little bewildered, turns to Erk. "Ho, friend. I can'na believe we're still alive." then after a moment, "Thanks, friend."

Holn breathes a sigh of relief as Kayla is absolved. Fa leaps to his shoulder as he follows the pair to camp.
It seems too easy.
He feels destiny pull at him, wondering about the nature of Kubalc's interest in his old and massive friend. (Sense Motive: 3 +2 for Negotiator)
He hopes they can discover the whereabouts of the Druid Lysette....

Buchek shoulders droop with sudden lifting of the tension. He laughs at Kubalc's words, appearing to shift moods as mercurially as his hosts, but internally he maintains a certain reserve. This man walking down the path with his hand on his shoulder could just have easily been unsheathing his axe from Buchek's corpse. Would have, if Erk hadn't been able to convince them to actually stop and examine Kayla. He will share a fire and food with this man, and be happy to call him ally in a fight with Tossuc, but the prospect of joining this tribe no longer holds any savor for the young barbarian.
As they walk back toward the camp together, Buchek says to Kubalc "Have your people been much harried by the Noyakin? Among the Cushat there were many who believed that the Noyakin were nothing more than stories told to scare children into staying close to camp."

Elotai remains quiet, and trails behind the rest of the group. He doesn't trust the barbarians not to kill them yet.

Erk can not stop the wide smile from spreading across his face. "Yes, well, my help does not come without a high price. I will expect an excellent song from you tonight, little bird. Something about the greatness of dwarves would be about right."
He puts one arm around her shoulders and walks with her back to the camp. "Now who are these grassland cousins of yours that everyone is so afraid of, hmmm? Let's keep our ears wide open tonight, and see what hints we might glean."

Kayla grins back at Erk. "I've got the perfect song. Jus' you wait."
She furrows a brow. She tries to recall if any songs mentioned creatures like the Noyakin (arcane knowledge, I think?)...
