Returning to the orc settlement…

*Blodwulf tilts his head slightly at Kalil.* I'll be at the tavern tomorrow. See you, there. *Looking over his shoulder he calls* Bye Saige!

Saige approaches the child and takes a knee, giving him a gentle smile. She takes part of her skirt and wipes his face clean before saying in orcish, “Hi there! You okay? Hurt anywhere?”

Once Blodwulf leaves, Kalil looks around and seeing no one near him says "Activate." A burst of flame spreads out around him in a five foot circle and the Prince disappears.

The Orc child sniffles and looks down, replying in Orcish. "I'm not hurt anymore. The nice man fixed me with the others."

He looks up at Saige and tears spill over his cheeks as he begins sobbing. Between the gasping and crying he manages to say: "Can't... *sniffle* Find... *gasp* Mommy and Daddy." And his head tilts back and he begins to wail, tears freely flowing down his face.

As the child bursts into tears, Saige’s eyes go wide. “Oh no, oh no… what would Anise do?” she mumbles to herself before wrapping the child in a hug and patting his head. “It’s going to be okay! I’ll help you find them, don’t worry!” She masks her own worried look and continues comforting the child. When he calms down enough to walk around, Saige takes his hand and begins searching. “What are their names?”

The little Orc boy calms down after a few minutes and let's Saige take his hand. "My mommy is Shura and my daddy is Tarod." He sniffles and wipes his arm across his nose to wipe away the snot dribbling down from his nostril. He looks up at Saige and cracks a smile. "My name is Urul. I've seen you playing with my friends. What's your name?"

“Hi there Urul, I’m Saige!” She grins widely. “Oh! After we find your parents we should totally play a game. I’ve been thinking of a new one.”

Saige begins to walk around with him, asking nearby orcs if they’ve seen Shura or Tarod. She tries to avoid areas where orcs are being put to rest, and hides her worry that the child’s parents are among them.
