Daris nodded and grinned sheepishly. He fetched one of the hooks and proceeded to learn how to use it. As he suspected might be the case at first he was terrible with the hook. Still he was possessed with finesse thanks to his warriors training and patience was something he had in abundance. After an hour he was proficient in it's use. He may have gotten even better if he didn't keep stopping to watch Dura. With the seaweed the work had been consistent enough to keep him focus. Working with the hook required more concentration but also more movement. As moved up and down the river his eyes shifted to her. She was beautiful playing in the water. Part of him wanted to cease working and go to her. He held himself back though, there were too many people here. Also he was pretty sure what he and his wife would do would do more damage than a over farming seaweed.

Physical Description: At 6'3", Zar'Dura is somewhat small, even for a female Orc, and she is not as muscular as most. Her skin is a greenish-brownish-grey color that is common to her race, and her features, while not what humans would consider beautiful, are delicate for her kind, with full lips and two small tusks protruding upward from behind her lower lip. Her eyes are a startling amber-gold color, and her hair is black, worn in tightly-bound ropes often adorned with charms and rings carved of wood and stone.

Dura looked at the man as he spoke to her, and smiled slightly. Apparently she had an affinity for the water. Diving beneath the water again, she focused on actually retrieving snails this time, rather than getting distracted by the spirits and nearly drowning. Every time she surfaced, she caught Daris looking at her, and she would gaze at him with heat in her amber eyes, until she disappeared beneath the water once more. Once she had a sufficient amount of snails in her basket - at least, in her estimation - she would pull herself out of the water and onto the bank, where she proffered the vessel to the fisherman. "Is this sufficient?" She glanced over at the old woman curiously. What was she doing..?

Grandma Maya returned with a large wooden tray, containing a wide assortment of dishes the orcs had probably never seen before: "Oh you two are just wonderful! Here, take a break, eat, eat!" |

Daris sniffs at the offered food curiously. Fish, seaweed, and... snails? Curious he had never eaten snails before they were toxic. Perhaps the land tillers knew a way to prepare them safely. The large orc dug in with gusto. Just as he did the work of three people he ate aa much as three people.

Perking up curiously at the sight of the exotic food, Dura settled in next to Daris - her leg pressed against his, shoulders rubbing together - and sampled the food.. more delicately than her husband did, but with no less enthusiasm. It was unexpectedly delicious, and she looked quite pleased as she ate. She paused shortly after beginning to eat and looked up at the old woman, giving her a respectful nod. "Many thanks to you, Elder. We greatly appreciate your kindness and hospitality."

Maya nodded. "You're both welcome here any time! My son's intuition is excellent when it comes to people. And you're both definitely good people." Maya called out to everyone. "LUNCH IS READY! COME AND GET IT!"
Gradually the rest of the fisherman finished up their work and came to the bank, where several more elders had prepared food for everyone.
The fisherman who instructed them patted them both on the shoulder simultaneously. "Good job guys. Are you gonna stay longer and help out or are you gonna explore somewhere else?"

The question is not considered over long, at least not by Daris. He had enjoyed his time on the river banks, but they had much more to explore in their new home. They may return to help out again one day, but for now he thought it best they move on. The question was where to go next? He wasn't sure perhaps the fisherman would have a suggestion.
"Unless my wife disagrees I think we will be heading out soon. We still have much in the expanse to explore. We may return one day though. I don't suppose you have a suggestion for where to go next?"

Dura had also been pondering that question, and although she was interested in swimming more, Daris had a point; they could always come back. At the suggestion of her disagreeing with his decision, she shook her head, indicating that there was no objection to be had from Dura. "Perhaps we can set up our tent nearby and leave for a new area in the morning?" When none of the fishermen (or the kindly old woman) were looking, she gave Daris a heated look that said the sooner they got that tent set up and night fell, the better. She'd seen the way he was admiring her while she swam, and it had ignited the passion within her blood.

The old woman nodded. "Of course you can stay, though you're welcome to one of our tents or cabins. There are also some small earthen Celadine abodes close by."
The fisherman nodded in agreement. "Yah, I say you two have done your fair share. Go, relax. Though if you wanna keep helping, feel free!"
The orc couple was free to do as they wished.

Daris briefly considers taking a cabin. Then realized it wouldn't do to stay around long enough to repair everything they broke. "We will use our tent, thank you. We will also work for the remainder of the day." Together with Dura they worked the river until night fell. They would also share dinner with the fishermen before retiring to their tent. Taking in the noise concern he set up their a fair distance from the rest. Once the are along Daris turns those admiring eyes on his wife once more. With a low throaty growl he falls upon her. It had been a long day, it would be a longer night. Then tomorrow they would move on.

<The next morning>
Dura woke well-rested and pleasantly sore, and only partly due to their work of the day before. After rousing Daris, she exited the tent and saw to getting breakfast for the two of them. Once they'd eaten their fill, the tent would be broken down, and they'd move on. Before they left, however, Dura sought out the old woman who'd been so kind to them the day before. "We thank you very much for showing us your ways. We seek to learn more of the people of this land, and their customs. Do you have any suggestions as to where we should go next?"

It was bright and early when the fishermen set out to work once again. One got the sense they were quite content with their lives as they made it to the river bank. The elder Maya gladly met the orcs again. When they asked her where to go next, she thought for a moment. "Ah, if you're still getting your feet wet in our lands, you'd best see the heart of the Expanse. Our grand tower. It's north up the river. If you ask real nice like the Elders might let you in. If nothing else you'll get to see the valley or the council hall." Before Zar'Dura could leave, the woman reached out and gave her a large sack and a small sack. "Since you two seemed to like the food so much, I made you some for the trip." She also stood on tip-toe so she could whisper in Zar'Dura's ear. "The small bag has some special herbs... They're a... contraceptive..." The old woman's explanation on how to use the herbs would no doubt leave the orc woman's face red. But with that out of the way, she'd wave them off. "Remember, you're welcome back any time!" |

"Thank you Elder Maya." Daris gives his typical easygoing smile to the old woman. He had heard tale of the Guardian Tower, it was a place where human mages trained. Perhaps those who dwelled there would be interested in the orcs shamanistic magic. With that thought in mind he nodded an set off. It took him a moment to realize that Dura had been halted by the elder. When his wife caught up with him he looks between her and the elder curiously. He would continue to walk after a moment, asking curiously as they walk. "What did the elder want?" <Exit to the Wizard's Guardian Tower.> |

Taking the bags, Dura was about to thank the woman when she indicated the tall Orc female should lean down. Doing so, she listened to the explanation, her eyes steadily growing round and her cheeks darkening. Oh. Well. Really, she should've considered that. Neither she nor Daris were ready for.. that. She'd just been enjoying herself so much she hadn't stopped to think... Once the explanation was finished, she straightened and cleared her throat, tucking the little bag of herbs into a small pocket of her leather skirt.
"Ahem. Yes. Thank you, Elder Maya." She jogged to catch up to Daris, and then glanced up at him with wide eyes when he asked that question. "I um.. I will tell you tonight when we make camp." And she was going to stick by that! He wasn't going to get a peep out of her on the subject until they were ready for bed that night.
