Rae was slightly confused when books took her hand but she smiled all the same. She was definitely a city girl so walking through he forest was hell, but at least she wasn't causing as much trouble as Muse was, of course she wasn't going to say that.
then the leading woman spoke, asking what Muse was. Rae had to seriously consider that, she looked at him multiple times before she said "i'm not entirely sure, he doesn't always look like this, he became it out of convenience, it's not quite as convenient anymore but if he tried to change he'd probably end up being a friggin dragon or something, so it could be worse" she looked forward at the woman, they were so calm and collected, this was their home. she wasn't entirely comfortable with this but she didn't really have a choice, she gave Books hand a squeeze and flashed (what she hoped was) a reassuring smile at the girl. she returned her attention to her feet as she nearly tripped again "how far is your village?" she asked, glancing around, the foliage looked practically the same as before, at least Muse made it so she was sure the women weren't leading them in circles, as he left a clear path behind them.
