Welcome to Gaia! ::

The camp he had discovered was in fact rather boring. There was no action here, there wasn't any battles going on or scouting that he had been allowed to join in. So he was sitting in camp looking as brooding as possible as well stoic. He had an image to uphold after all, and if word got back to his father that he had been in camp and hadn't actually been serious about what was going on it could prove troublesome when he got home.

So while he was here he played the stoic pretty boy who did as he was told. It ended up with him doing things he would much rather not do, like tending to the wounded or helping with setting up tents and traps. The traps at least were interesting but he felt that this was just a waste of time. How long were they going to stick around this place doing nothing but biding their time?

Still he was having a break, the sweat gathering on his brow was lessening with each passing day as he got use to the climate but it was still unbearably warm. When would something interesting happen?

Nkole looked up from his work a brief moment he looked crossed until he noted it was a woman, he had seen her about the camp before but had never actually spoken with her. His attitude changed dramatically putting on a friendly face for the girl. After all he couldn't let his image disintegrate just because he was being forced to do hard labor here.

"Ah yes, its a lot muggier than it is back home isn't it." He replied using a free hand to fan himself to indicate that he certainly agreed with her. Wondering what business she had with him. Did she notice his family crest? He did make it a point that the sheathed dagger was on his hip at all times and clearly visible to those around him. Although he heard a lot of snickering about it, he didn't care. It was given to him by his father and it signified his importance in family lineage.

Nkole had to wonder if his father himself would come down to lead the next assault against the people of Jahaur. Somehow he doubted he would come...but if he did he was going to be sure that he was working hard so that no bad words could come back to his father.

"I am sorry, I got lost in my thoughts..my name is Nkole." He introduced himself after a bit of an awkward pause.

Naevius? The name rang a bell in the back of his head but he couldn't place it just this moment, not in this humidity and with him sweating like a filthy animal. Still it was better to gather comrades in arms, you didn't make friends in this world but rather tools you could use later on.

"Please go ahead, I was just wondering when this war was going to proceed is all." He mused offering her still a warm smile as he used a free hand to wipe the sweat away from his brow. Not that he was in any rush to shed blood, but he wanted to get back to looking for his sister and quite possible going to home.

"Tell me how a lovely lady like yourself ended up here? " Nkole asked as his mind furiously tried to remember why this name seemed so familiar to him.
