[color=800000]As Rost shook Xue's hand, he took the time to more accurately assess his physical capabilities. Rost notices that his white hair companion has a slender build, such as himself, but a little smaller. Due to his size and build, Rost assumes Xue excels at agility and comes up short of power. Although, Xue's double headed scythe is at least as tall as he is, so Rost questions Xue's ability to proficiently wield his own weapon in battle. 

In response, Rost states, "We have to head towards the northernmost part of the forest so..." Rost turns slowly until he locates his tracks leading into the clearing. Figuring that he tracked the whistling to the northeast, "Umm, we need to head in this direction," Rost claimed, as he pivoted around and pointed in the direction he believed was a little west of north. "We should move quickly and avoid any unnecessary fights," Rost twirls his blade and smiles at Xue, "Ready, set..." and Rost takes off; dodging, dipping, diving, and dicing his way through the forest.
