Kovan remained straight faced all through the elven woman’s speech. He didn’t believe for a second that she was going to give them a gift out of the kindness of her heart. A gift to total strangers that she did not interact with in any meaningful way. They only happened to ride together on the same boat. A boat she was hired on as crew who she didn’t seem to share a connection with either given her sudden departure. Her whole angry speech was petty. A tantrum where she tried to get back at them by rescinding an offer they neither expected to receive and that she likely had no plan on giving in the first place.
Roman shot a glare at Kovan that said did you HAVE to make her angry? They didn’t need to make enemies. But on the other hand, at least they were finally alone. “Let’s go. Before she decides to do anything about your… civility.“

And Kovan was just as unaffected by Roman’s glare, and shrugged in way that could be taken as apologetic. Could be. “I doubt she wants anything more with us.”
Alwyn shook his head and pressed his fist on Kovan’s shoulder in an attempt to lighten the atmosphere: “Don’t worry. I, too, have a lot of difficulty with the opposite gender. If you want a shoulder on which to cry, you found it.”
Looking around, he made sure he couldn’t see the elve before adding : “Joke aside, can you cover one of my side ? I’ll try to run a quick scan.”

Kovan looked down at Yarwood, open confusion on his face. He purposefully antagonized the woman with a racist comment he learned from the city guards. But sure. He has trouble communicating with women. Speaking of communicating with women. . . “Alright but afterwords you need to apologize to Rand. She’s a professional actress and you just laughed at her performance.” Kovan turned so that he could cover Yarwood’s blind spot, and pulled out his own tricorder to run passive scans while he watched out.

Alwyn raised his head at Kovan with a saddened face : “Oh… I didn’t mean to…” He made a look at Rand and felt like an idiot. It wasn’t her performance that made him laugh, but the sudden change and… The scan, he thought, focusing back. I’ll have the time to apologize after that.
With Kovan at his side, he hid his other side with his cape and ran a scan on the surrounding.

Running a scan, life sign wise the tricorder picked up the elven woman heading north-west at a fast walk. Beyond the landing party, the tricorder also picked up various small animals, birds, and a few of the larger wolf like creatures some distance away to their south and north sides. They weren’t moving this way yet nor seemed to notice them on the wind. Energy readings wise, when the tricorder began to do its work here, the screen flickered in front of Yarwood. As if something was wrong with the tricorder. Then whatever was going on with the device cleared up and the scan completed, energy patterns showed nothing standing out beyond expected readings. They had about less then 2 hours before the sun was to go down. If they were going to make tracks through the woods they may as well do it now.....
