Well… Adam supposed the situation and skill set could be worse. He hadn’t expected Rae to be all that knowledgable given her reaction to all this. He’d thought Nova’s aloof act might have been born from confidence, but there was apparently nothing to back that up with. Her knowledge might prove unexpectedly useful; after all they already had a lamia, elf, and fox girl, so running into even more exotic creatures was hardly unthinkable. [color=f7941d]“You’ve got good ears apparently?”[/color] he pointed out to the elf as his pace slowed slightly at the sight of trees on the horizon. Still a couple of miles away, but it was a promising sign. At the very least if there weren’t any water sources nearby it meant that rain was common enough in the area. 

Rika seemed like she’d be the most helpful without any direction from him, being capable of helping set up camp or forage around for edibles. Marcus on the other hand wasn’t going to be immediately useful, but hey manual labour was manual labour and he was another male. [color=f7941d]“Right,”[/color] Adam muttered after he collected his thoughts, [color=f7941d]“guess we’ll sort things out once we find a decent camp spot.”[/color] At Marcus’ prompt for the foxgirl, he also mentioned, [color=f7941d]“Try to stay aware of any scents in the air. It shouldn’t be too hard to smell fire even from a few miles off.”[/color] Hell, the breeze was against them so that’d make detecting anything that was ahead all the easier for her. 

The grass slowly began to decrease in length as the group moved closer towards the trees, shortening from his waist to just around his knees. It had to be an hour or so since the group had started their trek, but given he could only guess the other four were civis, Adam didn’t want to push too hard. [color=f7941d]“If any of you want to take a break in the shade, now would be the time.”[/color] While he wouldn’t be getting blisters any time soon, the ancient boot design was far from comfortable and it’d be a bit until he’d actually broken them in. Letting the others reach a consensus, he moved up to examine one of the nearby trees.
