How To Train Your Dragon: The New Time discussion

This forest has thick trees

Jo was looking around collecting small samples of plants and flowers to test for remedies

Ryckon strode purposefully through the forest, checking behind him ever so often to make sure his friend hadn't followed after. He needed to find the settlement on Berk, so that he could inquire about dragon training.

She sings a song that her mother sang sometimes. She gathers a few things and freezes hearing movement and draws her dagger and listens.

Ryckon cocked his head, listening. He thought he could make out the soft sound of a female singing, but he was not sure. However, he was sure he'd heard the crisp sound of a blade being drawn. He put a hand to his own sword, just in case.

She listens for a while and doesn't seem to hear anything. She mumbles something to herself about being paranoid and tosses her dagger into her basket feeling too lazy to sheath it and continues looking for a few certain herbs

Having heard a light thump, Ryckon turned around, and walked slowly and deliberately towards the source of the noise, stepping purposely on dead leaves and twigs so that whoever was out there would know that he was there.

She whirls around hearing him and stands,"Hello?"

Upon seeing her, Ryckon removed his hand from his sword, but didn't let down his guard fully. He had run into a great many skilled female warriors, and knew to be wary. He offered the girl a slight bow, and spoke hesitantly. The black cloth of his mask muffled his words ever so slightly.

"Good afternoon," he began, choosing to speak formally. "My apologies for startling you."

"You didn't startle me." she shrugs and looks at him. He wasn't from around here,"Where are you headed?"

((Dinner brb))

((Okey-dokey!))

Ryckon thought for a moment. "Well, I am hoping to reach Berk within the hour. Do you know the direction that is best to go in order to do so?"

She nods,"I would hope so since I live there." she smirks with a hint of a Scottish accent. "I'll take you there."

Ryckon smiled underneath his mask. "Thank you, lass. That's very kind of you. My name is Ryckon, by the way. Ryckon Cael. What do you call you, if I may ask?"

"Johanna- but you can just call me Jo. Pleasure to meet you." she smiles,"What are you hoping to find in Berk? Dragons I'm guessing." she says and gathers her things and starts walking gesturing for him to follow

Ryckon nodded briefly. "Well, dragon-training, to be particular. In fact, I am already... er, friends of sort with a dragon. We simply wish to strengthen this bond."

((I am so sorry, but I must go for now.))

((Np))

She nods,"No better place ta do so I suppose." she says,"Why do you wear all the masks and things?"
