Cervayhn is caught by surprise as Javal suddenly intervenes to save the poacher who previously had attempted to impale him. He watches the fellblood’s actions without comment, allowing their enemies to rise to their feet once more. While it was the polar opposite of his usual operating procedure, he didn’t protest the show of mercy. The Pale Army had taught him to tie up any loose ends on a job, but he had long since retired from their ranks and there was no point in any more needless cruelty. As the spearwoman rises to her feet, he shoos her away with a cold gaze. “Go on, get out of here. There won’t be any more second chances should you continue this foolish endeavor.”
The younger dark elf arrives as the fellblood flees into the underbrush, a confused expression adorning her face as she looks upon the scene. “What? Why is he leaving? What about the ooze?”
The older dark elf smiles as he addresses his young master. “Well look.” He points to the two oozes, both of which are retreating into the jungle. “Where do you think the second ooze came from?”
Ulmiyda glances at them, still bewildered by the sight. “I dunno, one of the poachers slashed it in two?”
Her retainer chuckles. “Not quite, but you are pretty close.” He points to the place where they first spotted the ooze. “See how there is only one goo trail leading up to that spot, yet there are two leading away? The ooze must have split itself. Whether it be a self-defense mechanism or some other reason, we at least know how they reproduce now, which was our entire goal in the first place.”
The girl’s expression shows that she is clearly dissatisfied with the results, but she simply sighs rather than giving any protest. “Whatever, let's just get out of here, I’m tired of this water-logged jungle.”
The older dark elf smiles as he takes his young master's hand, leading her back to the carriage for the next chaotic adventure.
Shiva, this extracurricular teaching is a bit more dangerous than I thought but Ulmiyda is handling herself pretty well. I’ll keep you updated on what we learn as we go along.
Cervayhn gives Javal a small wave to see him off as Ulmiyda runs up to see the commotion. “Farewell, we appreciate the assistance. Your skill holds true to your words.”
The older dark elf smiles as he addresses his young master. “Well look.” He points to the two oozes, both of which are retreating into the jungle. “Where do you think the second ooze came from?”
