Artelm 16/18
Artelm had sneaked off behind a tree as soon as he had hit the damned lizard; taking care to make sure it didn't notice him. He was quite surprised that the others wanted to leave the lizard alive and a threat, and even healed it. He decided he was outlawed enough at the present time however, and kept his thoughts to himself, wondering what Able would make of everything.
Artelm didn't know why he saught to kill the Lizard, but could only justify to himself that it had struck him first. When the others all crowded round it he revealed himself and ran over in a small number of quick small steps. He watched the Lizard bring over an egg. "What's it doing? Artelm asked nonchantly, at no one in particular, gazing all the while at the Lizard. Maybe they were cleverer creatures than he had first thought.
