No one moved.

It was as if all the sound in the forest had suddenly disappeared, and now only these two groups could be heard. Laeo observed the animals across from him and as he studied these odd creatures, he noticed something odd.

He turned to Hyna, the lioness who was responsible for any small tunics of clothing they even had. He asked,"Hyna?"

She, who had been focusing on the situation, turned to him and asked,"Yes, Chief? What do you need?"

Laeo nodded his chin toward the other group and asked,"Those animals are wearing things similar to our tunic clothes are they not?"

Hyna then turned and began to seriously study the things the bear tribe were wearing, and she suddenly realized through her talent that these items were crafted similar to her own technique!

She slowly nodded and replied,"Yes, chief. Those rags covering them are indeed very similar to my own.."

Laeo, who was one of the fastest tactical thinkers in the tribe suddenly had a realization. Laeo accidentally sputtered,"it's another race.."

Focks and the others' eyes widened at this and Focks quickly confirmed with,"Chief, are you saying these animals are similar to us? They can talk too?"

As if by fate, at this moment, Pooh and Baloo walked forwards.

Focks leaned to Laeo and said,"What do you think? Is this a trap by this new race?"

Laeo said,"You know this plant?"

Shaking his head, Pooh replied,"grruuh Grrroos Gratn Gods."

Laeo asked,"Gifted by the Gods? Your talent?"

Pooh didn't understand anything other than "Gods" so he thought maybe Laeo was confused so he called over another bear with a few grunts. The bear came over and after a few seconds, vines that were brown and looked poisonous started to grow from the ground.

Pooh pointed at the bear and then said,"Grrrj Grruu Gods!" Pooh then pointed at himself and then at the plant and said,"Greuuu Multi-Sense"

Laeo asked aloud "Multi-sense?" Then pointed at himself and said,"Energy Pulse". Laeo then placed his hand on the cold ground and a faint green light showered out onto the barren land. After a few seconds the earth seemed to gain a new life, like fresh vitality had been pumped directly into the soil.

Pooh nodded and then pointed toward the south and asked,"Grruh grro?"

Laeo then had someone bring him a few twigs and a starter, which Laeo's people called a "spark rock". Laeo then dug up some fresh dirt and made a small mound. He placed the sticks at the top, placed a bunch of small leaves at the bottom, and the proceeded to grab the spark rock and light the twigs on top on fire.

The fire quickly submerged the small mound and worked its way to the leaves which Laeo then pick one up. He pointed at the display, then at the leaf, then at himself, before finally gesturing to everyone still standing behind him nervously.

Pooh nodded seriously and the two continued to try and gain some information from the other. Both parties had recognized the oddities of the other before the system calibrated but neither side had taken a direct stance or aggressiveness to the other so the two side tentatively continued.

After what felt like an eternity.

[System: Your talks with the foreign race have paid off. You can now speak on a very low level with the foreign race. Please continue speaking with them and the level of your understanding will increase.]
