Something outside...

You hear something going on outside, sounding like shouting; albeit muffled by the fabric, but still, the unmistakable yelling of a man can be heard. You get up putting back on the clothing Mira and Mara made for you, earlier. This one seems to be a basic wrap of red clothing around your waist, reaching mid-thigh, with a sewn piece of white fabric, covering the area between your legs.

You head out, pushing aside the curtain; you happily notice the effects of the ****, that the twins had given you has already begun wearing off. Feeling your overwhelming sense of euphoria dying down, and so is your arousal.

Outside you see a tall, lean, and muscular man; stumbling around shouting. He seems to be holding some kind of clay vessel in his hand, with a clear liquid pouring out of it as he shakes it. The man is wearing a sizeable blood-red tunic, pinned around his rightsholder.

"M... du washhh..." He slurs off; clearly, he is heavily intoxicated.

He puts his fist to his mouth, clearly in an attempt to prevent himself from vomiting. He stumbles backward, only just catching himself before he falls. He looks up, about to shout again when your eyes meet his blood-shot ones. They are recognizably puffy from a lack of sleep and attached to sharp angular features. You know who it is, it is Paish.

"Paish, what are you doing here?" You say, surprising even yourself, by just how forceful and angry it comes out.

He looks at you, you can tell his anger at you is building, you can tell he has murderous intent; if he attacked you.

"Wehrn... du tori da nuri..." His voice stops. He vomits onto the ground; stumbling forward. "Mul muje."

He tries to compose himself, looking at you one last time. You can tell his rage is only growing. Unable to stop himself any longer, he stumbles forward, clearly trying to charge at you. However, you quickly step out of the way of the **** man, dodging his punch easily and causing him to fall face-first into the mud.

You notice Leto coming your way, he is wearing similar clothing to yours, a red cloth wrapped around his waist. Heading towards you with an escort of two armed villagers, each painted with blue and white paint; carrying long spears. One male and one female, the male, also has an outfit like yours, while the woman wears a red tunic like the ones you saw Mira and Mara wearing earlier.

"Paish, I tol du, tis mor den," He says, directing his escort to pick up the severely wasted man. "Leav muje granko home."

They finish picking up Paish, taking him somewhere else; heading towards the middle of the village. Paish's feet dragging in the dirt; somewhere between falling into the mud and Leto accosting him; he must have passed out.

"Staryy," the old man says, bowing slightly, before taking his leave.

That was odd, you think, why did he treat me with such reverence? In fact, everyone besides the twins and Paish have been treating you that way ever since Leto said that you were Staryy. You wonder what exactly that means.

You walk away, heading into the village; well, if I'm going to be here a while, I might as well explore my surroundings. You think, plus, there is no point in getting into a fight with Paish before the set date. So you begin to slowly walk towards your left; picking a direction at random.

You start by passing by two houses of similar structure and from what you can tell, the same interior to the twins' house; each one inhabited by what seems like a small family. The outer two homes have children playing a unique ballgame between themselves. Each passing a ball in the air back and forth, using only their legs and hips; each child wearing simple white clothing.

Outside the last two homes, you slowly reach fields of some strange-looking plant, with deep red stems that turn into purple, the higher it gets, with its leaves a deep violet. Some women are working in the fields, uprooting plants they must deem as ripe; each one wearing a white and brown tunic. You decide to watch them for a while, noticing the only difference is the redness of the stem. They pick the red ones, leaving to the green and purple ones.

Beyond the small fields, you see the lush jungle, bordered by sharpened staves and a large ditch. Not wanting to go back into it, you begin to walk by the crop fields, circumnavigating the village. You continue to pass by wooden structures like the ones you saw before. However, these seem to be oriented north to south, unlike the earlier ones, keeping the sun out of it; each one also lacking the ornately designed curtain of the houses you saw before.

You make your way, past the new houses before finally making to the other side of the village, looking back in you notice the passing trough the middle is a broad open avenue, leading to an enormous house; the one Leto made his decision in. That must be where the tribe meets, you think, maybe Leto even lives there.

You walk towards the grand house, finding a sizeable outside pit, filled with half-burnt logs; clearly, the remains of some massive fire. Walking along the length of the large house, you reach back to where you started. Finding the two stakes, which earlier they had tied you to. Looking to your left, you again see the twin's home. You begin to re-enter it; having taken a relaxing, albeit short walk.
