Davian steps back out of the door into the relatively windstill air outside, shuts it behind him and turns, not wanting to cause a ruckus by waking all the sleeping dogs and exciting the rest, regardless of how tempting such thoughts are as they cross his mind. He calls out in reply to Emirien "Right here, Emmy!" and jogs over to where she is stood by the front door of her house. Upon approaching her and coming to a stop he folds his arms across his chest "Maybe you're right, maybe I should protect you? I hear pheasants and grouse are six feet tall and vicious as angry bears." He pauses and smiles at Emmy, adding "You don't need to bring a bow if you don't want to."

At that he gestures and stands aside. "How about you take the lead? I reckon the chances are that you and your dogs'll know this part of the woods better than I do." He pauses and adds, questioningly "If you're bringing them? I have a sunstone so we won't get too lost otherwise."
