Tetras seemed to be the one "lucky" enough to sit up front with the horse, steering him through the beaten path of the jungle toward their destination. He had a good sense of direction, and growing up in a land with similar forests as this, he had no problems with the heat and humidity. However, before they set off, he stripped his full plate mail down to just just breastplate. No matter how used to the heat he was, in all that, he could easily get heat stroke. He didn't want to die before they even met the enemy. But a breastplate at least covered his vitals, which were the most important part. Other things he could handle. It also helped out the horse that had to carry him, even if he was just sitting on the front of the cart steering with the reigns. 

It seemed as though the woman with the sword and shield was the only one who hadn't listened and stayed outside the cart. That was fine, having two people coming out to surprise the enemy was still advantageous. And having two outside could make up more aware, and at least fight then off until the other two came out. The problem was, he didn't know how well they all fought. He just kind of trusted that they were to be somewhat competent, without even seeing anything that might prove their worth. No matter. He could handle himself he had to. Even if this elite soldier was sent on a suicide mission to get rid of him, he would not roll over and die so easily. He would conquer this land and prove that nothing could stand in his way. And, hopefully along the way, he could find himself. Or more importantly, what he was.

Tetras held his hand up, signaling his companion walking alongside the cart to halt as he also stopped the horse. Something didn't feel right, and the wildlife stormed off in the area. And it wasn't because of their cart, as they were usually seeing a wagon like this. No, it was like in his homeland when something dangerous lurked in the forest, and their was a brief period of quiet and lack of animals before the creature attacked. He stood on the front of the cart, drawing both his great swords as he attempted to survey the surrounding area.
