And I hope if everybody runs, you choose to stay
Something soft and smelly squelched beneath her boot, and from the stench that billowed up Seren suspected that it must have been dead for a while. Gagging on the noxious fumes she hurried onward, scraping her foot against tussocks of grass as she went.
"What exactly do you need a Klaw for?" she asked over her shoulder. A quick glance made sure that her pace wasn't too fast for Maeve; Seren only slowed again when she no longer tasted the reek on her tongue.
Despite the coolness of the day and the lingering mist that crept over the ground, her face was bathed in sweat and the shirt clung to her skin. The air felt so close, as if they were breathing water rather than air. Only the tree towering ominously in the distance helped her navigate... not that it mattered much. There was only swamp to find for miles around.
