Kayle kept her distance from the small group of otherworldly beings. She wasn't sure what she was doing here, why the one had taken her, nor why the hell they had her necklace. Was it originally theirs or something? It was highly unlikely, her grandfather found that just laying around in the woods, if it was theirs, they shouldn't have left it where he could find it.

She kicked at the ground with her shoes, hearing them talking to each other in some strange language. She wrinkled her nose, stepping a bit closer to try and at least make out some words. They weren't words that she knew, they sounded more like a mesh of random letters put together with a little bit of clicking and growling involved. She couldn't make out anything, and so she huffed, crossing her arms over her chest. She didn't expect them to know english, but it sure would help a lot.

"Are you going to acknowledge me, or not?" she spoke up, causing the four beings to look in her direction for a few moments, letting out soft trills before they went back to conversing. Well, they at least noticed her, that was about it. She sighed, walking to the pool in the cave before crouching down, looking at it. She'd never seen such a beautiful pond before, the way it shimmered with light, giving off a gentle bright blue glow. She was captivated by it. If the beings weren't going to talk to her, then she wasn't going to bother with them or give them the time.

"Cha'na, why did you bring the Ooman here?" L'ma, the Elder of the group, spoke towards the young blood, his hands clenching in to fists as he stared at him, expecting an answer. L'ma was the tallest out of them, standing at eight feet in height. He was older and wiser than the rest of them, only here so he could evaluate their skills as hunters, and also there to help them search for a Yautja that had gone missing a couple of months ago.

Cha'na kept his gaze fixed on L'ma's Bio-Mask, not daring to look away or show any signs of backing down. He puffed out his chest some, but not enough to accidentally issue a challenge of might, "... I brought the Ooman here because she may be able to give us answers." he grabbed the necklace off the belt of Na'tu, one of his brothers, and held it up, "This belonged to one of our clan's Elders. I'm sure you know this... I found this in her bedchamber..."

"Yes. I know. Half our reason of being here is to find Elder Sar'nu, and for me to evaluate your hunting skills." he snatched the necklace away from Cha'na and stuck it into a small satchel on his belt. He didn't break eye-contact with the younger blood as he did so. He pointed towards the Ooman, "See if it knows anything. We may be able to find Sar'nu with its' help." he grunted, crossing his arms over his chest, "We may also be able to use her for some of your training, cause she's not returning until Sar'nu is found."

"Hmm. Na'tu, M'cet..." he looked towards his brothers, nodding. They nodded back. He held out his hand to L'ma, and the Elder grabbed the necklace out of the satchel and handed it to him. The trio then began walking over to the young Ooman, Cha'na being the one in-front of the other young bloods.

Kayle looked towards the strange beings, eyes widening as they had began walking towards her. She stood up straight, taking a few steps back. She was terrified and was trying not to show it, her mother always told her a Queen should never be afraid of anything, no matter what. Her heart was pounding up against her chest, acting like a wild animal that was trying to rip free of bindings or chains. Her hands became shaky, along with her breath.

They stopped, the one that had saved her, but also in a way kidnapped her himself, held out the bone necklace, a low grunt escaping him. She exhaled, reaching over to take it, so glad to see the gift once more. She didn't know how she'd react if she never saw the last gift her grandfather ever gave her.

"My necklace... Why do you have it?" she managed to get out, trying to bury the fear deep inside herself.

The other growled, retracting his hand, not letting her dare touch the piece of jewelery. She blinked, quickly pulling her own hand back in case he was planning on hurting her, because it was obvious he wasn't going to let her have it.

"Better question... Why... do... you... have it?" the male snarled, taking a step closer to her.

"..I'm... sorry?" Kayle took a step back, trying to keep as much distance from the intimidating creatures as she could.

"Where... did you... find it?" he demanded, not seeming to wish to toy around with her. Kayle looked at the ground, everything around her felt like it was spinning. Her mind had gone blank and she just couldn't think of anything to say. The answer was on the tip of her tongue, but her mouth had gone dry, causing her to not be able to talk right.

She shut her eyes, taking in a calming breath. She shouldn't be scared, he wouldn't dare hurt her, right? He had no reason to, she would be unworthy prey. She brought her gaze back to the towering dangers.

"My grandfather found it in the woods. He gave it to me for my eighteenth birthday, which was just awhile ago." she held her head up high, trying to keep her eyes connected to his even while they were hidden behind the big lenses of his mask. "I don't know where he found it, all I know is that he saw it hanging on a branch while he was just wandering and that's it. He didn't say much else about it, just that he thought I'd like it... He passed away a few weeks ago." she frowned slightly, kicking softly at the ground.

"... More..." he grunted. Kayle blinked, looking at him.

"What?"

"More information." he hissed.

"I don't have anything else to say, that's all I can tell you guys..." Kayle couldn't help but avert her gaze away from the being, "I wasn't with him when he died, so, sorry..." she muttered.

"..." he let out a soft trill, looking towards the two other beings that stood beside him. "You'll be staying here until we find who we're looking for... You can still be of some use to us..."

"And how's that?" she asked, narrowing her eyes at him.

"...Bandits.." one of the others spoke up, crossing his arms, "We can... use you... as bait."

"I'd rather not! That's not how you treat a princess!" Kayle argued.

The lead one growled at her, causing Kayle to quickly back down and keep her gaze focused elsewhere. "...Sorry... I just didn't figure that guys like you needed help getting things to kill..." she bit her lower lip, acting silently dramatic, "I mean, I'd much rather be here than back home... I'm being forced to wed someone I don't like, so..." she sat down on the ground, brushing some dirt off her dress, "I suppose it's for the best... If I think about it, in a way, you're helping us by getting rid of bad people. So... about the necklace.." she held out her hand, making puppy-dog eyes at him, "...can I have it back?"

"No."

Kayle groaned, "Why not?"

"Because. This belongs to an Elder of our clan. We're not going to let you keep something that rightfully belongs to one of our most respected Elders."

"...What was an Elder doing here? and if he wanted it so badly, why did he leave it here?" Kayle questioned, not even thinking about it.

One of the two that stood beside the lead one growled while he took a few steps towards her, instantly making Kayle regret what she said while she backed up the best she could, her back coming into contact with the wall. He stopped right in-front of her, staring her down, his hand inches away from her throat.

"Don't. Say.. Things.. Like that... Ooman. You don't know just what those words can do..." he growled, keeping her pinnd to the wall without even touching her.

"M'cet... Leave her alone. She doesn't understand is all..."

"Maybe we should teach her." M'cet spoke, looking back to his brother, "If she's going to be staying here... she needs to be taught how to act towards us. Elder L'ma can easily do that."
