Becky Helps Yazz Forage

"Rungo plants and Chomka vines, got it," Becky said with a soft smile. She accepted an example of each from Yazz and truned them over in her hands in turn, examining them for familiarity.

The "Rungo" pant seemed harmless enough, though strangely, she didn't recognize it. It looked to be some sort of jungle offshoot of an apple, with the same general shape and seed distribution, though a vastly different color and more complex scent. The "Chomka" vine was similarly foreign, though again, didn't seem like it would provide any particularly interesting alchemical properties. With a shrug, Becky put both in her satchel.

"Hey Yazz?" Becky asked, hesitating for a moment. She hadn't had much chance to be concerned over her naked state until now, given that she was busy running for her life. Now that it was more relaxed however, and she had an intelligent companion and potential friend... Becky was starting to feel just a bit awkward and exposed. "You wouldn't happen to have anything I could wear, would you?"

Becky tried not to look too uncomfortable, but it was difficult, and her body language reflected it. Her arms crossed over her chest, and her back slouched more than usual. It was a bit of a struggle not to completely cover herself with her hands, but Yazz hadn't commented on her lack of clothing so far, so maybe he didn't know how strange it was.

"Not need much clothing," Yazz responded. For the first time, Becky noticed that he seemed to be struggling to keep his gaze from flitting down to her body. He pulled his eyes away from her and wandered about as he spoke, stratching behind his head. "Scales keep Yazz safe, jungle keep Yazz warm. Why Becky ask? You cold? Yazz could make fire?"

The kobold grinned as he found a plant of interest and produced a trowel which he used to quickly dig it out for exaination.

Becky shrugged. It wasn't exactly uncomfortable without clothing in this tropical jungle. If anything, the humidity suited her better naked than it did with the massive coat she usually wore, though that fact did little to make her feel less exposed and embarrassed.
