[the communicator flickers onto Sif's face, which settles into satisfied lines. she figured it out, this enchanted metal device, so now she can go back to what she was doing -- which is wrapping her free arm around a tree and casually hauling it out of the ground]

If we are to follow the whims of our captors -- which I'm of two minds on, myself -- we should at least begin by figuring out who is best-suited for what. [briskly]

So go on. [she drops the tree, also casually, and then goes to tear out another. she's not sure how much wood they'll need] I require knowledge of how many are here, and what skills you possess. We will want someone with knowledge of plants to forage, and someone with skill at fishing. We will need a source of fresh water, and likely vessels fashioned to carry and hold our supplies in. Those with strength or skill at construction who can put together the shelters, and those who might construct defenses around the constructs.

And those of you who are more accustomed to living in human cities, well... [a beat. trying to think of something charitable] We will probably need someone to -- gather sticks, and the like.

[actlikealady]

Excellent. We don't know that there's anything dangerous out there, but I for one would rather not take chances. [she'd like to get a look in that jungle herself... but they need someplace safe to return to first] I presume you'll want wood for them.

[emends]

[ Nod nod. ]

Wood would be preferable, but I can make do with whatever resources are available to us.

[actlikealady]

[Sif flashes her another smile, amused] I assure you that wood will pose no difficulty.

[ Lucina had been too busy getting into an argument with her communicator to witness the display Sif had made with the tree. Now, though, she manages a small smile to mirror the other woman's. ]

If you are certain.

[actlikealady]

I am. But the wood must be divided into more manageable pieces before it can be used. Are you capable at finding food in the wilderness?

[emends]

I can hunt, but I've little knowledge of plant growth or what is plentiful.

[ So obviously, obviously, she needs to be on berry duty. ]

[actlikealady]

Fair enough. Well, we'll need food soon enough regardless. We can use you.

[to hunt, is what she means. but Lucina might interpret this as "we need you to go stuff unidentified berries in your mouth"]

[emends]

I'm at your service, my lady.

[ Except when the berries strike. Then she'll be useless. ]

[actlikealady]

Sif.

[emends]

Lucina. [ Her name doesn't usually feel clunky, but up against a "Sif", it does a little. She gives a small smile. ]

[actlikealady]

It appears that someone has found fresh water, so we will be able to set up our camp nearby. I'll give you the location so that we may all stay together, Lucina. [matching the smile]
