"Yeah, I will. I'll still need your advice on it later, though." He says, before walking over to a nearby log and sitting down, wondering what his options for customisation were.

It is literally a blank slate. He can take this place any direction he wants so long as he can make it happen.

He shrugs and decides to just go looking for Chasey. He could think about the settlement when he got around to building it.

He whistles to her, before grinning. "Yo! Picking fruit again? What is it this time? Not poisonous, I hope." He says with a little chuckle.

"Fuck if I know! Some weird things that make a right mess when you bite them!" She drops him a perfectly rought fruit, not too heavy but with some noticable bulk that is a strange off orange color.

He frowns at it, before trying to peel the skin off and see if there's any fleshy part underneath.

The moment the skin breaks he gets a face full of sweet tangy juice! "See! A real freaking mess!"

"Bleh!" He spits out some of the stuff before taking a bite out of it. "Ehh... It's not that bad." He says with a shrug.

It tastes like an orange mixed with a pear... like it is trying to be sour but just can't really make it thanks to the pear side of things. "There are tons of these things up here."

"Good! Get as many as you can. I'll help you!" He says, easily climbing into another tree to pick some more of the fruit.

She was not kidding... every tree around them has at least 6 ripe ones hanging from it!

He grins and starts plucking as many as he can fit into his bag, before climbing down the tree and heading back to camp.

Upon is return to camp he sees Hina on her knees above what looks like a mutant? he is obviously badly injured and Hina is working rather rapidly on his side which bleeds freely.

"What the-?" He drops the fruits and runs to the mutant, dropping to his knees next to him. "What happened!?"

"I don't know! He just staggered up to the camp and collapsed! He is obviously been stabbed or something but I can't staunch the bleeding! This is beyond normal! Something is thinning his blood... he is likely anemic!"

The mutant looks mostly human save for his skin which is a light green color and what looks to be bark growing over his left arm. his eyes flick open and lock onto Kai "Please..... you must.... help...."

"I know! I am working on it! Just don't move!' Hina barks in return.

"I don't know! I need more gauze! His blood is way too thin, it isn't even trying to clot!"

With surprising strength given his state, the man grabs Kai's arm "You must... stop them.... west.... north west.... please...." He lets out a ragged cough. "Now please... kill me... I don't want... to be like them."

"W-what? North West? What's coming from Northwest? Tell me!" He says, squeezing the thing's arm.

His grip starts to fail, his arm sliding down "Those.... that serve.... them....be-" He lets out a ragged staggering breath and his body finally gives out, the light in his eyes finally giving away.

"What...? The fuck...?" He mutters, before glancing at Hina. "Shit. Okay. We have to get Chasey, and then get as far away from here as we can." He says, before looking down at the body. "And... Cut his head off with something. Just in case." He murmurs, before getting up and running out to look for Chasey.

"With what?! I don't have any weapons!" Hina says in distress while wiping her blood covered hands on the floor.

Chasey comes waddling back in with her arms full of fruit "Hey guys! I got the mother load!"

"Drop it! We gotta leave!" He says, stuffing a few of them into to his bag, before looking around. "Which direction is Northwest?" He asks, frowning a little.

Hina points off to the indicated direction "Over that way... not too far off course from where we were heading normally."

"What do you mean dorp them? What is going on? Who is that guy?"

"I don't know, but something bad is coming this way. And fast. We'd better leave." He says, giving one last look to the body, before hurrying off Northeast.

The group quickly moves away from the directions given, leaving the body behind though Chasey refuses to drop all the fruit she has gathered.

"Okay... Hina, Rex, take care of Chasey and the fruit. I'll scout ahead, see exactly what we're dealing with." He says, before taking to the air and flying north, wanting just a glance of whatever this was.

After finding a clear spot to take off in, Kai starts gliding off to the north. He mostly just sees lots of trees but in the fart distance to the north WEST there seems to be a fair amount of activity.

[I said north because I didn't wanna get too close in case it was some sort of army. Getting spotted would not be a good thing. :p]

He turns west, heading to the source of the activity, and tries to fly slower, so that nothing notices him.

As he glides closer to the movement he notices that it seems to be bandits or raiders dragging people off into the forest... likely toward their base. Such observations are cut short though as it is next to impossible to fly without being seen in broad daylight as there is nothing to hide behind when you are literally above all of your cover and Kai is quickly seen followed shortly by a few arrows whizzing past him.
