On the outskirts of society, a small fire could be seen near the edge of a forest. Approaching would give anyone a clearer view of the scene- a small campsite set up. A tree log converted into a rudimentary bench had been dragged from the treeline to near the camp as well as a small brown tent having been set up using branches as support. Over the campfire was a cooking pot, supported by metal rods, the sound of something bubbling could be heard inside. A large sack of unknown contents could be seen on the side of the bench, sealed tight. But most importantly, sat a young woman in her mid twenties on the bench. Standing about five and a half feet tall, the woman looked to be in her mid-20s. Her orange hair was bundled up under a metal helmet with only a few stray strands escaping and cover her blue eyes. To compliment the metal helmet, she wore a half-plate that covered her torso and chest with a cape latched to it via rivots. Her red tunic was short but revealed only brown work pants and matching swashbuckler boots with only a slight heel to them and swashbuckler gloves with no fingers to them. On her waist were two sheathed weapons- one significantly larger than the other suggesting a dagger and longsword.
With a knife in one hand and an apple in the other, she sat with one leg brought in close to her chest cutting a piece of the apple off to better eat. If left to her own devices she would continue to eat the fruit while glancing every so often to the cooking pot. Eventually her gaze fell on the sack as she shifted her body over to open its contents and look inside.

Briefly after the eventual return of his little brother home, Oobie decided he wanted to go on an adventure of his own. Oobie was much brighter than Wah, so there wouldn't be as much worry for him, he knew how to get home and he knew how to properly use his powers. Though the family had just been reunited, his parents didn't stop him from taking this journey, they knew he would do fine, and now his father was able to scry his location if he ever wondered about him.
The young Kobold now exited the woodlands of Land-Tiller's State and looked to the sky to see night approaching. He'd need to find a place to camp, setting a fire would be easy for him with the help of Abney Park. However it seemed he may not have to set up a camp, in the distance he could see the smoke of someone else's fire. Cautiously he approached the camp and saw what he assumed was a female Tall One. Feeling confident he wouldn't be easily killed, the 3 foot tall green Kobold entered the camp.
"Excuse me, Tall One." The child's voice was calm and mature sounding. Slung over his shoulder he carried a bag which contained his travel needs. Unlike most Kobolds, Oobie wore civilized clothing. The most valuable looking thing on him was a golden metal claw that he wore over his right index finger. "I'm traveling, and I don't have a place to rest, would I be troubling you if I share your camp?"

Kelly looked up as Oobie entered the camp, leaves rustling under his feet. She looked at him with wide eyes in surprise.
A kobold? Here? She thought to herself. They're su pposed to be from the mountains....no, wait, he has green scales. Forest? Is this his forest?
"Uh...sure..." Kelly said hesitantly, gesturing to the log. "I was just making dinner. Rabbit stew."
Assuming Oobie took the bench to sit, Kelly would look him up and down.
"I have to admit, this is unexpected...I wouldn't expect a kobold to be out here. Where are you from?"

"Not many other Kobolds live in this region, just my parents and 2 siblings as far as I know. We live in a house on Silver Mountain." Oobie takes a seat and places his bag down. Notibly, Oobie spoke common perfectly, he didn't talk improperly like most of his kind because he is educated. "My name is Oobie Doobie, my father is a magi named Doobie du Shoobie. Thank you for having me, stranger."

Kelly strained to hold back giggling at the names mentioned. Oobie Doobie, Doobie Du Shoobie, she had almost expected there to be a Scooby Doobie Do.
"Kelly's the name. Nice to meet you." She said as she held out her hand to shake. "And no problem, I could use the company. Loneliness isn't good when you're suffering from heartbreak."

Coincidentally his Great Uncle is named Scoobie du Wop, but he is not relevant.
Oobie tilts his head, looking at Kelly's hand, then returns the handshake, making sure not to touch her with his claw. "So you're still alive after your heart has broken? Your endurance must be great."
Oobie clearly had not heard of heartbreak, even if he was the smartest out of his siblings, he was still a child. "How did you break it?"

She sighed, frowning.
"Well, there was this dwarven women I fell for. She liked me back after a night of romance but soon after there was this visitor....you ever hear of a nymph? It's a type of fey capable of seducing others with their beauty. Like a succubus but not evil. She worked her magic on me and the dwarf came in on that. Now she assumes I don't want her. Nothing I say can convince her otherwise..."
She sighed and slouched on the bench.
"Now I'm alone again, but this time it's worse because I knew what it was like to be with someone. I can't do anything right it seems."

"Oh, I understand now. Sounds like a treacherous creature. I'm still just 2 years old, so I don't have much experience in the world, I don't have anything to say that could be helpful. You are a female of your species, correct? Is attraction to the same sex common among Tall Ones?" Oobie had assumed this was a female and was curious about this topic. The only example of a relationship he had to reference off of was that of his parents. "Pardon my ignorance, I just set out on my journey 2 days ago and I have a lot to learn."
Oobie took a look into his bag to check that everything is situated well, then returns to the rest of the conversation. "What is it you do for a living? Surely there is something you do well."

"Am I the fem- what the hell do the females of your species look like that you have to ask that?" Kelly asked back, confused. "Nevermind, I don't know if it's common or not to be homosexual, I just like cute things and the dwarf was definitely cute. Now that I think about it you're pretty adorable yourself. As for what I do....it's best if I don't answer that. Lots of answers you're too young to hear. Let's just say it involves a lot of travel and exploration."

"They smell different." Was his matter-of-fact answer, he smirks when he is payed a compliment. "Thank you, you are being very considerate, but I do not need things hidden from me. I do not plan on being a child for much longer into this journey, only if it proves advantageous for me will I play the part of one. If you don't want to tell me, fine, I won't press it."
Oobie removes a book from his bag and flips through to a page he had saved his place on, the book was a compendium about types of spirits and other similar beings.

She rolled her eyes.
They smell different. Whatever, y'all don't even know, I bet. She thought to herself with a smirk. Kelly looked over Oobie's shoulder as he began to read his book again.
"What 'cha.....what 'cha got there, chief?" She asked, curious.

"It's a journal my father put together over the years. It tells about different forms of spirits that he's dealt with, it's his field of expertise. Symbiotic spirits that work with a living individual, he calls them Sutando; he came up with the name out of the word Stand, since the spirits stand by their host." Oobie flipped through the book, each new section of the journal had a sketch included representing each spirit Doobie had encountered: Starman, Gold Dust, Get Lucky, Luftballon, Glass Heart and more. Each looked uniquely different and had their own special powers.
"I study these so that I'll be prepared for if I encounter anything similar. I myself am talented with the same kind of power, my younger brother even enearthed his power recently after he had been lost for a month. I hope to have a greater experience than him and grow stronger." Oobie had left the book open on a page featuring a skeletal bird-like thing with stone wings, he waves his gold clawed finger. "Want to see what I can do?"

The fire drew her. She had been traveling for a long while, and although a single card floated, its face obscured by the light source it created, seeing another source of light brought a bit of relief to Jayani. She headed toward the light, and made sure to call out when she was close enough that she couldn't be missed.
"Hello! I mean no harm!"

Before Kelly had a chance to answer Oobie she looked up to see Jayani.
"More travelers? Huh....alright, sure, come join us then." She said, waving her in. Her attention returned to Oobie.
"What kind of power do you possess? Yeah, go ahead and show me then."

"Hrm?" Oobie watched another person approach and moved on to his demonstration. He moved to the pot of water Kelly was going to use for her stew. He dips the metal claw into the water and it loses its heat, then a moment later it begins boiling again! Before the temperature can raise any higher though, he stops his power and leaves the pot alone. "That's just a sample of my ability to manipulate heat, I can increase or decrease the temperature of what I touch, if I used my power just a little longer all the water would have evaporated. I call my ability Abney Park."

She made her way over to the camp, a smile on her face when she saw the group. "Hiya," she said to them and then let out a little breath, settling her hands on the dramatic curve of her hips. She looked from one to the other. "Who's camp is this?"

Kelly looked unamused by Oobie's powers.
"The pot was already boiling...." She said to him in a hushed voice. She turned to Jayani.
"It's mine. This kobold fellow showed up not too long ago. Dinner's almost ready, I guess if you want rabbit stew I should have enough."

She looked entirely relieved at the bandit's kindness. "Really? Oh, thanks so much." Jayani smiled broadly and stepped closer so she could offer her hand. "I'm Jayani." She looked at the Kobold, expecting his name, too.

Dinner's almost ready, I guess if you want rabbit stew I should have enough." "Yes, but I made it stop boiling first then raised the tempurature back up. It may not be spectacular yet, but I'll learn new ways to use it." He offers his left hand for @jayani to shake, "Oobie, I'm on a journey to become a man like my father before me."
