"We cannot," Lucas confirmed with quiet certainty. Whatever it was about the woods that made them unusual, it was not something that could simply be outrun, that much he knew. There was a way through, like one of those horrific puzzles he'd been forced to solve in the belly of the Spire. But given that Lucas didn't have to solve the problem of the Greatwood, he was choosing - at least for now - to leave the great expanse of trees well enough along. (Until Wessex tempted him to go inside again, or whatnot).
Jigano seemed very determined not to answer any of Lucas's questions tonight, the Ascended levelling the other man with a flat sort of stare as if to tell him that he was well aware of his reticence. Luckily, Lucas enjoyed talking about himself too much not to pry further just yet. "It wasn't a trick. And in truth I was very glad to know that the plan worked." Fire was not his friend, not the way it used to be. Stepping further beneath the moonlight, Lucas gestured behind him, where his three shadows stretched against the pavestones.
