Alas, for poor Lan, she’d be stuck with someone she so loathed. Loathed while on and island with creepy dolls and told to gather FEAR and she just bet that he was going to be smug about something or tease her or torment her or just do all of those things because it was Shikoba.
And Shikoba was terrible.
At least to Lan.
While she had her little FEAR dolls in hand to collect and harvest, she was tempted to just walk out on premise but no- no she had her job to fill like any other horseman and if she walked away, He’d just tease and torment her worse later on. There would be no winning. (Just like how she tended to utterly fail at beating him when it came to spars- bloody war and their dang wings keeping them from holding still long enough to shoot them).
“…” looking at the Forest itself she checked the portal they’d arrived from, noting it’s location for when they would need to return. Perhaps on this occasion, she mused, she might have the upper hand. After all, she had been secretive of her recent personal life developments.
Minus the whole ‘lets declare that I’m trying to hit on Aeron in front of Mengyao’ fiasco.
“So, when shall we need to look for baskets from you and Shaheen?”

It had been a while since he had done anything with Lan of consequence, which was really for the better as up until now Shik had been an insufferable, power-tripping, bloodlusting, narrowminded man--or at least moreso than usual. Now he was far more mellow with the reintroduction to the Clans' old lands (tower, floors, whatever), enough so that even Lan's initial question got a snort as opposed to something barbed.
"That in and of itself would bring the apocalypse to a full gallop ahead of schedule," he replied. Imagine: just a small herd of screaming hellions with weapons storming the heaquarters . . . The image brought a grin to his face. "But not in the near future, I would think. Or maybe any. We have not spoken about it."
Mostly because he kept switching between bitching about having to reapply for his job (new or old) and being fascinated by the layout of the tower.
Handling his dolls carefully (a humorous sight no doubt, given his savage looks), he followed after Lan through the forest. "And what of you and Aeron?" Shik asked with a smirk. "Is that already being addressed? Quite the leap, from a kiss to foals."

She’d been expecting the worst. So when Shikoba passed on the barbs, Lan was taken aback. Either being with Shaheen had mellowed him, he’d gone and matured, or, someone had the mind to give him a lombotomy. Whatever the reason or means, Lan was still shocked he’d not had more cutting words for her. “A full gallop you say? Better get on it then. I think more than enough of us would be quite happy for the end of days..or the end of those damn hunters.” She held up a doll, making it do a small dance, “Just think, little versions of you and Shaheen flying towards the battlefield and slaying their first human. I’m not sure if it would be cute or terrifying. For both sides.”
Tossing her doll up, she gave it a tiny squeeze as it came down, stuffing falling from one leg, sad and limp. She was ready to go hunting for fear until the horseman brought up her own amorous issue.
Who told him? Who told Shikoba about her and Aeron and that whole mess that wasn’t a mess but was really confusing for her yet none the less made her happy and worried at the same time? “I..do not know of that which you’re speaking of.” She dismissed. “No- I am very sure I have no idea of your meaning. There has been no kissing or foals- We have not even publicly announced-“ Her eyes widened as she stood frozen.
“You will forget everything I just said.”

He paused and turned to look at Lan directly. "You are ordering me . . . to make children," he deadpanned. "You want for more of my kind to crawl around the lands." And then Shik broke into laughter at the ridiculous notion of the mare wanting anything (good or bad) for him.
And then had more laughter at Lan's social pitfalls.
"Gods, I was there when you were attempting to give him moral support in the fight against Charon," he informed her. "What awful timing for a distraction like that. You should have saved it for the victory as Shaheen and I did." Although frankly things had gotten increasingly risque and energetic whilst in public due to their fervor and relief . . . It was why for a very brief and stupid moment, when the screaming began, that they were about to be joined by another War horseman.
And then Shik tilted his head up and saw the wailing doll.
Quote: 61 - 80 : One of the dolls you walk by begins to scream - apparently, this one is so full of FEAR that it's threatening to become sentient. In order to harvest this one, you have to move fast - to cut it free from the tree, roll your regular attack dice; if you do damage, the doll stops screaming, and you gain +2 FEAR. If you miss, the doll falls from the tree and shatters, rendering the gathered fear useless.

Shik was fairly sure he did not imagine any of that at all; why would he?
"Dignity. Duty." He rolled his eyes. "These are not reasons but excuses. If you have not noticed, Lan, everything has been in a state of upheaval recently. For the gods' sake, there are already children of multiple clans running around--or flying, as it were." Shik didn't see what the big deal was if she decided she had feelings for someone outside of prissy Conquest. If anything, maybe it would be the kick in the pants (robes, dress, whatever) she needed to stop acting like it was such a big deal to stick to what was old.
Although it seemed the more things changed, the more they stayed the same; she was still as incompetent in the field as ever, and he snickered as Lan discarded her broken doll.
"I am forcing nothing. I am only pointing out that acting as if it is shameful is a waste of energy for you both." For instance, he saw ahead that there was a ragged looking human carrying empty jars, and for once he didn't feel an immediate need to jump and murder.
He really was mellowed today apparently. Or at least for apes who wanted to do his job for him.
Quote: 1 - 20 : You come across a lone Human in a dirty, torn janitor's outfit. They don't bother you or seem to notice you, and simply go about their business, hanging dolls and doll parts from trees. You notice that some of the dolls this human possesses are actually empty fear containers - what you do here is up to you. You can either leave the human be, since they are helping, or you can try to steal one of the FEAR containers for a chance to harvest more. If you choose to steal, roll a 1d6 - evens, you get 1 empty FEAR container (which will give you one more opportunity to harvest), odds you get nothing. Whether or not you let the human live is up to you as well.
