You walk further down the valley cliff, the floor down below you like a emerald jewel of trees, a crack of blue river down the middle, the sound of the ever-so-near waterfall crashing around your ears. Another cave comes up on your left, this one smaller then all the others. You look in, you can't fit, so you call in to see if there's anyone in there, a small scuttering is heard and a head peeks out. You almost fall back in surprise. It's, well, patterned!  He blinks at you, equally confused, then smiles. Oh, another travleller, probably from another realm? you nod Ah, then you are not the firest. You smile at him. Just like Rawen he is a polite and well mannered Ritaer. He must be in the same pack as the others. He grins and apologizes for not being able to invite you in, but you nod and smile. Oh, and my name is Rire. you nod, you almost knew it would begin with an "R". He flicks his black and red tail and looks around, then rushes into the cavern. Moments later he returns with dried fish. You kindly decline saying you had enough watermelon with Rawen, at the name he nods. Ah, Rawen, my good friend. though he seems a bit uncomfortable, but he pushes it away saying he's just lonely. You nod and wish him good luck in his life, and then walk on.
