The pleasure is mine, Ianto. What do you mean by it 'wanting' us to go a certain way? Jigano asked, his curiosity perking up in spite of his wariness of the polite newcomer. He could feel Amalia's tension beside him, a quiet hint of thunder on the horizon should any tricks be played upon their trio. Kiada wisely had turned back into her winged form, with her powerful beak for offense and a quick way to get off the ground and out of reach if she needed it, and he took strength and confidence from both women as he faced the debonair fox.
But... "Friends?" the raven croaked, aloud as well as mentally. A lot of friends dropped though, could only mean one thing... You're from Northhaven, then?
I hadn't realized they had already been out into the woods... I suppose we should have known, he thought wryly to his companions. Always, the Northhaveners seemed to thrust themselves to the forefront of anything that was happening, heedless of those they now shared a world with.
I don't suppose you'd be willing to show us these ways? he asked hopefully, trying not to dwell on the sharp stab of envy that even when he acted swiftly, it was never fast enough. Others would always arrive before him, and at best he could but bring up the rear of new discoveries. Or tell us about this forest? He looked to his companions to see if they had any questions for their surprise 'host' - or further ideas for exploring now that they knew the woods were, in a sense, alive.
