Sierra suddenly became aware of the people watching. "Thanks Raph," She stopped. Sierra wasn't one to give nicknames and was surprised she had shortened the healer's name. "Let's go somewhere where not all eyes are on us." She grabbed Nikoli's wrist and led them through the forest, the rest of the Misfits following behind her. She stopped and sat down on a rotting lot in the middle of Black Wood. Nobody would eavesdrop here.
"My mother came to me," She admitted. "She told me that it's essential that we go on this quest, so many lives depend on it. I know that you guys don't want to leave camp." Sierra glanced at Nikoli and Elke. "But I don't think we have a choice."
Nikoli held their hands together, deeply swallowing before saying "Alright. I'll go. But if any chance I see one of the people who were hunting me, I'm going to the shadows. I don't care if it's a coward move."
Sierra nodded, "That's fair."
She took a shaky breath and laced her hands together in front of her. Emotions definitely were not her strong suit. "Are you guys up for a quest or not?"
Elke just sighed, knowing that she was probably making a rather foolish choice, but she felt like it was the right thing to do. She was yet to actually see what the possible outcomes would be, and well she was just going to see if she was making the right choice. "You know what, I-I'll go with you, but I'm going to pretty much be dead weight, I'm just saying."
(I'm sorry, I'll get in a response later tonight. I've been super busy.)
"I'm sure we'll be fine. I mean, a literal goddess said we should go on this quest, so there's gotta be a reason for that, right?" Raphael tried to reason.
He wasn't so sure himself, but he did understand that they had to go. That there was no choice in the matter at all.
"Aaaanyway, do we have any idea what this quest entails?"
(Also I am so sorry, a bunch of shit came up between work and school and social life, and I have not been in the headspace to respond to any RPs at all.)
