Ash stops playing for a moment with a slight wince before attempting to restart, trying to recall any song from her trip across the sea when she was younger. The sea like music brought up memories of a simpler time. Before all of this. Before him.

Ree'lyn approached Amara, who was writing in her journal. Silently sitting near the elf, opened his own sketchbook to go about his drawings of Grell and their menacing attacks and powers.
Ash nods and smiles a little at Quinn, playing the pan flute for a while before slowly stopping, putting Quinn's flute nearby him quietly as she looks into the fire.
Unless anyone approaches her, she spends her time lost in thought over what she can make her weapon into.

Jezzika saw DUKE approach. "Initiate greeting: Oh hello Mr. Roboto!"she said in her best impression of him, jerky robot arm movements and all. "Inquiry: How can I assist you today? Observation: I am afraid I have no trash to collect. Performing self diagnostic: Error! Error! Must reboot!"she resumed her normal stance and laughed. "Yes, Duke?"
She listened to Duke as he asked his questions.
"Of course I am unwelcome. What a cruel twist of fate that would be if I was favored among many. But this is not the case, I am only favored among one."she said, glancing at the ceiling. "What will I do once I reach the surface?"she thought for a moment. "I've always wanted to see the beach for myself. To feel the water, the sand. I know that I cannot be in the sun for very long, but to actually be there for just a short time. It must be wonderful. Then, I imagine, I will join Umbra and be one with the cosmos."
She took a moment to go out of her way to tell Ash: "Wow, you really kicked some ass back there tootin' that flute! Nice job!"she gave her a quick peck on the cheek and went to go lay out her area for the night, making sure her stuffed animal was close by."
Ash blushes and tenses a little with a slight smile at Jezz's words before she focuses her mind to her temporarily, using her personal mind link from across the camp. "Jezz. What have you and Svana been up to? You don't have to tell me. I understand if it's private. But I cant lie and say that I am not curious..."
Her "voice" is genuinely curious but has a hint of suspicion. Not in a way of mistrust, just suspicious curiosity.

Duke simply lets out a quick "Ha." as Jezzika imitates his mannerisms for a moment. However, he is still limited to his voicebox, which was not created with the intent of allowing the Warforged to speak with inflection. It's only from Duke using his new mouth to smile at Jezzika that she knows that he understood that she was joking and saw some humor in it. He allows Jezzika to go on, having found her answer satisfactory to his curiosity. Duke searches for a sizable rock and after a few moments, comes up with one to his satisfaction. He claims it before heading over to Svana. "Declaration: I request your aid in removing this designation from my body." He lowers his left arm, revealing large, bold letters that say "DISPOSAL UNIT K-3. PROPERTY OF WATERDEEP" "Secondary Declaration: I would not inconvenience you with this, but I am still unable to defy built-in protocols that forbid me to cause harm to myself. Tertiary Declaration: You need not concern yourself on my behalf. I am incapable of feeling physical pain and the damage that you would be causing would be superficial."

Jezzika explained to Ash, "Some of us have a dark secret unanswered in their lives. I have made an agreement with her and Umbra in trying to find an answer. The rest, i'm afraid, has to remain in confidence."she said in a sultry manner.
With the music playing in the background, Svana had a great time jamming out while setting up the perimeter. “Nice playing, you two!” She would call out to Ash and Quinn with a smile, setting up her bed roll. When Duke had approached her, she had been flipping through some pages of her spell book, the wizard looking up and listening to his request.
”Oh! Okay! I would be honored, Duke.” She gives him a smile and digs into her pack, taking out the dagger she had leant him prior and pulling it from its ornate sheath. “Ronnal fixed it, see? Like brand new.” Svana’s smile softens as she looks at the blade. “He did a very good job...” Her expression falters, but it’s quickly picked back up again. “Alright, let me see what I can do.” And thus she begins to slowly scratch off the lettering.
While working on removing the letters, she pipes up to start conversation, “How are you liking your new mouth, Duke? Have you used it yet?”

Duke kneels down to give Svana an easier time working on him and smiles at her. "Declaration: I am glad to see that your knife is fixed. Secondary Declaration: I am enjoying my new mouth, it makes it much easier to convey emotions. I am also glad that it is something that you and the others find pleasant to look at."

Ash nods and studies Jezz for a moment from her spot by the fire. "I understand. I suppose we all have our secrets. Our answers that we are seeking. I cannot judge someone for wanting to find out answers for themselves. I'm... currently doing some soul searching myself."

After the battle Ronnal shrinks down to his normal size and helps those that need healing. When they begin to set up again for the night. Ronnal let's out a noticeable sigh "Haven't been this close to home on years.."

With the party settled down after having spent their energy into honing their body expression talents, Ree'lyn decided he had enough of DUKE being left out of it in every opportunity they got.
"Here, DUKE " - the Drow wants to show the warforged how to use his body for music. - "When you hit your hand on different parts of your body you will notice it sounds differently from each other." - Ree'lyn demonstrates what he is saying by slapping over different parts of DUKE. - "You see? If you choose your arms, legs, chest and face, you slap this part with your fingers or the palm of your hand. This making different noises. Try it at different intervals now. Let me see how it goes."
After Ree'lyn finishes speaking, Duke looks at Svana with a curious glance as she scrapes the words off of him. When she merely stops for a second to shrug back, he takes the arm she's not working on and uses two fingers to lightly slap his chest.
Performance: 5
And it sounds as pleasant as pots and pans falling on each other. "Declaration: I apologize for the disturbance. Ree'lyn inquired to see if I can use my body to produce music. Secondary Declaration: Based on the results, I shall not be attempting to do so again." He silently sits there and patiently waits for Svana to finish after that.
Duke looks back at Ree'lyn "Declaration: I do not see myself repeating that activity in the near future. Secondary Declaration: The chances of me showing a meaningful improvement in a repeat performance are low."

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
When Duke smiles, Svana can't help but give him a beaming smile back. "Gwendolyn such a fine job in making that smile possible. You look so handsome! We're going to have to protect you from all those warforged ladies eyeing you, that's for sure!" She giggles, continuing on scratching off the U. "I wonder what else Gwen can upgrade for you-- Hm?" She looks up from his arm to Ree'lyn, tilting her head slightly. "So forward, Ree'lyn!" She tuts jokingly. "But I can see where you're coming from. I hope you don't mind, Duke." She decided to do a tapping on his arm...
Performance: 3
The noble laughs at how awful it sounded. "I'm more of a dancer than a music maker. Perhaps we should call Quinn over and show us how it's done?" She giggles then goes back to work on Duke's arm.

Ah. Much much better, im actually impressed! Keep that up. I think im going to lie down and rest. Ill see you all very soon.
