## Summary

The party continues talking and sharing books including the 'Tantomile Adventures' series and 'On the Long Life of Directian Royals.' Flint is upset that they're only seeing monkeys so Olwen Edgeworth suggests that he and Seven go on ahead to get the jump start on hunting. Seven agrees and the two of them begin looking around. Seven finds some birds with really long beaks (toucans) making a nest. Flint mimics a toucan call while Olwen talks with Xaillen about when she got drunk and Hoshimi fiddles with dancing lights. The toucan eats a berry from Flint's hand and Seven gives chase wanting to talk to the toucan. She tries to fly but faceplants.

Adrian Tanlaial notice that Hoshimi is bummed and she agrees to talk about it at their next stop. Olwen expresses that the rest of the party would get hurt just by being near her and Xaillen calls her a fool. Seven returns to the group in a huff and goes up to Sybl who mentions that she isn't like herself. Seven mentions that she wants to be better for everyone so Sybl mentions this could be a good first step for him to help her. Sybl animates a dead hand for her to hunt. Seven thanks Sybl and promises to help him be happy again. She ends up pouncing on it and realizes she can hunt it after Sybl says she could keep going. Hoshimi joins the conversation with Xaillen and Olwen mentioning that there was someone she couldn't protect too. She tells them to learn from the failure and get better. She falls back in line as Olwen mentions that just because she wants something, doesn't mean she should have it. She finishes her conversation saying that it would be better if everyone she loved was happy without her having feelings for someone else. This leaves Xaillen torn.

The party arrives in the village of Elinoren with Seven getting slightly impatient about the hunting. Caius suggests going to the Merry Berry Tavern but as they get there a black tabaxi is thrown out. He looks at everyone but then dashes off into the jungle. The tavern keeper is about to yell at her but then realizes he has new patrons. Most of the alcohol was given to the feast of fortune coming in New Gatless. Xaillen begins sliding along the wet floor and Seven joins in. She does really well. The two of them are about to do a dance off when Flint joins in and slips. Olwen orders meat pies for everyone while Xaillen comments about not having enough money. The tavernkeeper, Hol Poliwood, recommends some ruins for them to camp out in. Another guy, Garvik Holmwood, calls him crazy and leaves. Hol Poliwood reveals that he doesn't believe Garvik's story and gets food for the group (Olwen sneaks some meat out for Seven). Hol notices Hoshimi's mood and offers her some brandy he had on hand. Adrian asks about Arpolian indirectly and Hol remembers seeing a guy like that two days ago drink alcohol and book it towards New Gatless. Flint does his low voice to ask about rumors only for Hoshimi to loom over him. Hol Poliwood has nothing but directs them to the ruins.
