"Sounds good to me." he said, noticing as Odum returned.  Not wanting to deal with him at the moment, he decided to go and scout ahead right then and there.  "I'll go a bit ahead and see if the way is clear.  I'll return and state whether it is or not and we can proceed.  I'll stay a bit ahead and return with any news."  With that, Lucas headed off in the direction they were headed, taking to the trees, surprised with how easy it was thanks to how nimble he had become.  He leapt from branch to branch, keeping silent as he scanned the road ahead.
