Mat cocked his head slightly as he tried to understand what the girl was talking about. [i]Us?[/i] Mat wondered, [i]Is this girl like Gollum or something?[/i] He didn't feel like that was the right question to ask. He reconsidered running again. "Uh, can you explain what you're talking about? I'd love to understand." [i]Or should I be taking advantage and running?[/i] Mat wondered. [i]Did I really hit that hard to loosen a screw in her head?[/i] What he was also curious on was the mention of shadows to travel. Mat turned his head away, staring at the dark forest. He took another few steps back but then remembered how exhausted he already became. He'd probably just end up puking again.
