Five minutes after parting ways with Akhlys, Venari felt his skin crawl at the memories of his embarrassing moments. He knew as he walked alone that that encounter would be firmly pushed to the back of his mind or at least the start of it would be. Sighing, he allowed tension to release from his muscles and into the humid desert air. Venari looked like a sore thumb in this landscape and didn't enjoy it much either. Far too warm and barren for his liking, however the quest demanded that he visit all twenty locations in Novus and he intended to do as such.
Up ahead of him Venari spotted a much needed water source. The canyon he had previously visited had drained him, making him feel tired and thirsty. While basic needs, they needed to be met all the same. However, upon a closer look, the stag noticed two equines frequenting the higher points of the oasis. He assumed both were relic hunting due to the precarious positions however he could be wrong. He had been wrong before. The stag carried on his walk, now neglecting to look at the other souls occupying the same location. He did not feel like making friends this time; he wanted to be alone.
Venari hated himself for seeking isolation instead of socialisation. He felt abnormal, unwanted and useless for how he felt. Yet he felt it all the same and Ven always tried to keep true to emotions. Should he ever deny them, he was more prone to a breakdown and he certainly didn't want that. Sighing, Ven walked on past the others. He might be polite should they talk to him first but otherwise he would aim to wander other parts of this land before searching the oasis for himself.
