[color=teal][i]"Please, do call me Rae."[/i][/color] she told Rika.





Rae-Ah forgot about her hunger, and diverted her attention to the red lining. It sort-of embarrassed her how she hadn't noticed something that was right under her nose all along. She knew that she had lost her head right then- selfishly setting aside the safety of the group for her own concerns. The girl hung her head low in disdain. For a moment, her mind lingered to wonder where Luke was and how he was doing.

[i]"I suppose we can go later. My apologies..."[/i] she quietly replied. Rae watched as the two men scanned the surroundings, wondering what the line could've meant for the forest, and more importantly, for them. [color=teal][i]"Maybe that explains it, the fire could belong to another settlement..."[/i][/color] she trailed off. What could they do with that information? Surely crossing the border could mean trespassing, and they didn't know what rules were counted. If they were found, would they be arrested, or prosecuted? Were there even any models of authority around this place? A plethora of theories piled upon one another. On the other hand, they'd never know what they were in for if they just stood there.

[i][color=teal]"N-nova, perhaps we could all go together after a bit?"[/color][/i] she considered what Marcus said, about there being 'trouble regardless of whether or not they venture in further'. The thought did concern her, but she had the idea that maybe this forest could be their salvation- a risk worth taking. At least for the day.  

Just then, her wispy ears twitched, as a sudden realization struck her. 

[color=teal][i]"Everyone, there is faint whispering coming from the forest..." [/i][/color]
