Frankly Nova’s idea was far from desirable for a number of reasons, but Adam didn’t bother to voice his thoughts. The girl was already pretty confrontational with Rika who had responded to her suggestion, and adding in his thoughts might just very well set her off on her own path. Which would be fine with him really, if it weren’t for the fact that they were apparently no longer alone. There might have been whispers intermixed with the gentle breeze that rolled from the vast plains at their backs, but hell if Adam was certain. Still, there wasn’t any real reason for Rae to lie and her ears twitched occasionally as if to better pick up the sounds. If Nova pissed off whatever resided in the forest he wasn’t all too optimistic that he and the others wouldn’t naturally follow as further targets. 

Hopefully the two girls wouldn’t stay too confrontational, but then again it was a rather stressful situation; people were bound to butt heads, hell it’d already happened. [color=f7941d]“Sure.”[/color] He watched as Marcus marked their position with a planted branch just shy of the red line with a nod before he bent down and picked up his own decently sized branch. It was a bit more curved than he would have liked, but better than his fists and it would work decently as a walking stick. The dry bark crumpled around his grip to reveal solid wood beneath and he took a few experimental steps to get a feel for walking with it. It felt pretty smooth though, so without further ado he set off at a brisk pace compared to before, opposite of Marcus. 

The treeline continued on relatively straight for quite some time, before it suddenly bulged out into the grassy plain. A glance behind him showed that the others were still in sight, if just barely, and he scanned the forest for a moment before he pressed onward. Not too surprisingly the moment he was around that portion of the forest and unable to see the others, Adam felt the air weigh down on him. Was he nervous? Oh yeah and the goosebumps that formed all over his body were a dead giveaway. Nonetheless he propped the branch up on a shoulder and began to retrace his path, eyes scanning his surroundings at the same time.
