It's only mid-day and Alex is still asleep. Seff folded him into a large and fluffy blanket while Akhmin and the others are figuring out the plan. Everyone is out in front of the cabin. Akhmin knows only one way to get to where they need to go. "Someone important that they've had ties with for some time is in the commune event today", Akhmin states. "He could take us to where we need to be. It could be problematic, though, there's been some issues with the road from what I heard with Avis. He's been through a lot lately, what with the Dovrah's demands..." Elkhra is pondering about the commune and what would happen if Akhmin wasn't here to attend. He is the chief after all. "Hey the commune gathering would need someone to keep it, right?" Akhmin turns to nod and smiles. "Ah, Takhra could take my place until I got back. Good idea, Elk." Elkhra stares dumbfounded. He didn't specify anything but, sure. That works, actually.

As the others are circling with ideas, Achiin is petting his bug friend. "Hm.. they sure are busy, huh. You aren't evil... right?" The scorpion speaks to them, "No. Alignment for this entity is not applied. Entity is simply a tool for recon. Strictly a drone." Achiin gives them a saddened look with concern. "Well I hope that one day you aren't..." The drone looks at them as they look off in the distance, watching Seff pat Alex's face while he snores loudly, mouth wide open. 

Akhmin looms over the both of them, looking at Achiin but temporarily staring deeply at the robot with slight intimidation. Achiin looks up at him, "What is it, Vathi?" Akhmin closes their eyes and stands upright, their hands behind their back. "The scorpion comes with." Achiin's eyes widen happily. "We need them for the integrity of Alex's body. It also seems he needs it." He turns to the scorpion bot and looks down upon it. "Make sure you think before you do anything... robot..." Achiin pats the robot. "Zyphon." Akhmin twists his eyebrow with confusion. "His name is Zyphon. For some reason they keep eating and sipping things off the ground when we drop stuff... I guess they like cleaning?" Akhmin winces but relaxes his silent snarl with interest.

As the group is finished speaking to eachother, Achiin sees everyone heading to Seff and lines up with them. He pokes Alex as he's in slumber while the others roll over some last minute thoughts and preparations. Akhmin tells Elkhra to go get his father to be temporary chief of Raphiim. "I also believe we need someone to care for the bova while we're gone... oh and don't forget there's fresh meat, cylanta, and prisma in the outdoor pantry!" Elkhra runs off down the small hill onto the road with his tail whipping in the wind. He nearly disappears past all the tall grasses and bugs glow as he passes.

Akhmin looks over to Seff and tells him to make sure they have everything before the long journey. Achiin plays with Zyphon as Seff comes back with a little trinket he got from his 'mintha' or 'mother'. It was a necklace that could also be used as a bracelet. The beads were slightly spiralled with hints of dark and light blues and white tint. They glistened upon both sunlight and moonlight. Sometimes they almost felt like they glowed. Seff could always feel something within them but didn't know what it was. They thought it could be their mintha still holding on to this realm, a ghost of her former consciousness. 

Seff tells Akhmin there wasn't anything they needed really. maybe a couple of rations that they also packed in a wicker shoulder bag. It was filled to the brim with extra prisma jerky they kept from about 3 days ago, a large loaf of poff bread, and two large light wooden canisters that held 2 liters in total of vela juice and plain cylanta tea. Seff wanted to keep them seperate so that they'd have variety. Akhmin patted Seff on the back, happily proud of their work. "Just like I taught you." 

Akhmin puts Alex over his shoulder still rolled up. As the sun is in acute angle toward its destination beyond the horizon, The group sets off toward the commune grounds, the village.
