Trick took the offered hand and shook it,
bowing to the boy as well for good measure.
"Trick, deputy of Mentis, at you service.
He grinned and looked up at Milo, wanting to gauge
his reaction to meeting a tribe member.

Slowly, slowly, Ever so slowly.
Mentis? What was that? Milo tilted his head in confusion. He had a foggy idea of what a deputy was, but what a mentis was he had no idea. A deputy was like, the second in comand to the leader, right? Milo adjusted his cloths from when he fell out of the tree. He had bruises all over his body from falling out of trees, some worse than others, but nobody could really see them through his cloths. Milo also made sure that his hood was up and his cloak was all fine. "What's a mentis?" He asked Trick as he made sure everything was fine. Milo stopped adjusting his stuff and then looked up at Trick. Trick, what an odd name. Maybe he tricked alot of people. Milo supposed that all people had strange names in the eyes of at least one other person.
Slowly, slowly, Ever so slowly.

Trick smiled wrily, he had known this boy was
a loner, but had not guessed that he knew
nothing of the tribes that he lived so very close to.
Bending down to look Milo in the eye he
chuckled softly at his innocence.
"It's not a mentis. It's the Mentis.
Mentis is a tribe of people just like you, and me.
There are other tribes like ours as well, Crudelis
and Secretum."
Straightening himself again he continued, trying
to explain the best way he could think of.
"My tribe, Mentis is the tribe of thinkers.
We are the smartest, not just in thinking
logically but also using cunning and tact."
He looked down at Milo and nodded sagely.
"Remember, there is more than one type of wisdom
and many ways in which to put wisdom into action."

Slowly, slowly, Ever so slowly.
Milo listened closely as Trick explained what Mentis was. Mentis was a tribe apparently. A tribe filled with people who could change into animals just like him? Cool! Mentis, Crudelis
and Secretum, strange names, but whatever. Mentis sounded like mantis. Milo was thinking this over. Okay so what Trick said was that Mentis was the smartest tribe, but what were the rest like? Milo tried to think it over using the names of the tribe as help. Crudelis. The beggining sounded like cruel, but maybe it meant something else in a different language or something. That could be why the names were so strange, they were from a different language. It made sense to Milo.
Then Trick said something that intterested Milo. "...many ways in which to put wisdom into action." Wisdom into action. Milo was thinking about this. He had been silent throughout this whole explination, inlike some kids who would have asked a thousand questions by now. Milo wondered how one was supposed to put wisdom into actions, maybe by thinking out a plan then going through with it, that would make sense. Milo had wisdom, maybe one day he could put it into action, but not in a fight, maybe in stopping a fight, that made Milo smile, he would like that alot. He would like it if one day he would solve problems for people, probably not right now though, he was too young to be taken seriously.
Slowly, slowly, Ever so slowly.

Looking down to see if Milo was still paying
attention, Trick's mouth twisted into a grin.
Not many kids this boy's age were as attentive
as Milo seemed to be. Blinking once, he decided
to keep exaplining the other tribes to the boy.
"Ok, the next tribe is Crudelis. As the
name implies, they are the cruelest of the
tribes. Crudelis members are always looking
for a fight and a way to hurt others. They are
strong, but not very smart, they use their fists
for fightining instead of their heads."
He looked down at Milo, he knew the last sentence
may not seem to make much sense, but he
understood it and if Milo didn't he would just
have to explain it to him.
"The last tribe is Secretum, the secretive ones.
Secreturm members aren't the strongest or the smartest,
they fall somewhere in the middle on both scales, which
makes them dangerous enemies to have. They keep
to themselves most of the time, and every member
among them has at least one secret to keep."

Slowly, slowly, Ever so slowly.
Milo listened as he explained the other two tribes. So there was a mean tribe and a secrete tribe and a smart tribe. Each had their advantages and each had their flaws it was a very intriging thing to think about. Milo didn't want to meet the Crudelis tribe, but the others might be fun to come across, maybe he would even meet his sisteres there somewhere. He had heard rumors that they were in some kind of tribe. It would be wonderful to meet them again. When Trick finished talking Milo decided to ask him if he knew them. "Are there any twins in the Mentis tribe? They probably resemble me a little bit?" He asked Trick. His hopes were up, they probably weren't even in his tribe.
If there were some in Trick's tribe then there would be no arguing, Milo was going to go back to his tribe with him, maybe only for a visit, maybe not, and if there weren't any then Milo would ask Trick if he could take Milo to the other tribes, probably just for a look to see if they were there, or maybe just because Milo was letting his curiosity get the better of him, but he would still like to see the tribe, even Crudelis a little bit and if his sisters were there then it would just be a big bonus! Milo smiled up at the older boy. Milo wasn't planning on holding him to anything he didn't want to do, but he would still like to know what he thought of the idea.
Slowly, slowly
Ever so slowly.

Trick pursed his lips as he thought, his
mind flipping through all of the members
of Mentis. Finally he shook his head and glanced
down at Milo who was looking at him with such a
hopeful smile.
He was about to tell Milo that there were not twins
in his tribe when he remembered something,
there weren't any twins in his tribe, but
Secretum was another story. His face broke
into a wide grin and he winked cheerfully
at Milo.
"Sorry kiddo, there aren't any of
these twins of yours in Mentis."
He deliberately left the second part out,
wanting to see Milo's reaction to the news first.
Maybe it was cruel or maybe he was doing it
for some reason unbeknownst to anyone.

Milo watched as Trick thought about it. Milo imagined that Trick was going through the faces of all the people in the tribe of his and just seeing if there was a match. Milo wondered how many people were in a tribe. Maybe hundreds! There could be a ton of people in the tribe and Milo could meet some of them! Well, as long as they were nice. When trick smiled Milo smiled too. It looked like Trick was going to say yes, but then he said that there were no twins in his tribe. Wow, that was disapointing. Maybe there were twins in the other tribe? He had, in fact, only stated that there were no twins in his tribe. "Are there any in the other tribes?" Milo asked hesitantly.
(I don't feel like doing all the codes, deal with it.)

(Dealt with xD )
Trick laughed and eventually nodded, resting
his hand on Milo's head happily.
"Indeed there there are, two twin
girls if I'm not mistaken. Vulpes
and Howl both in Secretum."
He cocked his head and looked at
Milo, considering his profile for a
moment.
"You know, you actually resemble them both.
Friends of yours are they?" [/Font] |

Slowly, slowly, Ever so slowly.
Milo raised his eyebrows. Two twin girls named Howl and Vulpes. His sisters! Milo shuffled his feet a little. He hadn't seen his sisters in forever! The last time must have been when he was just young. Milo smiled up at Trick. When he asked if they were friends of his he laughed a little bit. Milo wasn't sure what their relationship was anymore. Maybe they were and maybe they weren't, but they were his sisters.
"Well... actually they're my older sisters!" Milo said then looked around. Milo grabbed Trick's hand and started walking. "You've gotta' bring me to them. Is that okay? You're the only person I know that even knows where the Tribes are so you just have to." Milo rambled off, getting excited. He wasn't even sure if he was going the right way, but it seemed like this had been the way Trick had come from, although all the running and changing course had made Milo's sense of direction kind of messed up.
Slowly, slowly, Ever so slowly.

Trick cleared his throat softly and pulled Milo
to a halt, pointing in the opposite direction.
The way they were headed, they would walk
straight into Mentis, and while that was good
for Trick, he had been asked to take Milo
to Secretum.
"If you want to see your sisters, Secretum
is that way little one."
He still couldn't believe that he was doing this,
helping out a strange little runt who he had
just met. It was very un-Trick like but something
about this little boy intriguied him, so he went
along with it. |

Slowly, slowly, Ever so slowly.
When Milo was pulled to a stop he expected a protest, something that would out of taking him to see his sisters. He expected that, but what he got surprised him. Trick was turning him around, not stopping him. Milo beamed and started running, still draging Trick behind him. Acording to Trick this was the way to go. Milo couldn't wait to see what his sisters were like. He hoped that they were nice and that they were funny. He didn't want them to be mean, or for them to be rude, or not like him.
Milo made sure that his hood stayed up. He was never to sure why he kept it up, but it was something he always did. He felt safer with it up, like it could protect him from something, even though it would probably only hinder him. It wasn't like it gave him any extra cover, it was bright red and white. Milo was so excited! He even wanted to see what some of the other tribe members were like. Milo couldn't help but run.
Slowly, slowly, Ever so slowly.

Trick rolled his eyes and chuckled,
but obidiently ran after Milo, his long
legs catching up and keeping stride as
he angled Milo slightly in the proper direction.
The kid was so excited, even Trick had a small
smile on his face at the happiness he could
feel radiating from Milo.
"Right then, to Secretum we go.
Don't worry, some members, like Tori their leader can
be a little cruel, but you're just gonna have to trust
me to keep you safe. Ok?"
Although he wasn't really sure why, he knew that
he would protect Milo. Besides, being deputy of Mentis
should give him some leverage.
[I'll make the thread now.]

Slowly, slowly, Ever so slowly.
Milo didn't notice Trick was guiding him slightly, but if he had he wouldn't have minded. He was glad to have trick here, even though the first impression was a little rough, Milo didn't hold grudges. Now he considered Trick his friend, not his enemy, nor even somebody that might harm him. Trick seemed to be a kind person at heart, but he still had that tough guy outer shell that most older people had. The thought made Milo smile. He never understood why people were so conserned with being strong, or being a good fighter. Milo just wanted to be a good person and be nice to others.
When Trick said that some of the members could be cruel Milo hesitated, but then kept running. "I trust you." Milo said with a smile. Besides, if things started to take a turn for the worst then Milo could always just book it out of there. It wasn't like he was bound in chains to stay in Secretum until he found his sisters. He wouldn't put Trick's position as the deputy at risk to help some kid he had just met, but maybe nothing would go wrong and all would be well.
Slowly, slowly, Ever so slowly.

Trick nearly stumbled in surprise as he heard
Milo's words, but recovered quickly. Glancing
down at Milo, he smiled warmly. He was
definetely unsure how to handle him now.
"You trust me huh? Well, that's a first."
Even Trick didn't trust Trick, he was dangerous
and loopy and everyone knew it. Maybe this boy
would give Trick a new start. Though the possibility
was mind-blowing, Trick didn't count on it just yet. [/Font] |
