Quick note of small, unimportant detail: Ghent wouldn't have been capable of seeing the clearing from the outside in Hollow Forest. That's one of the things that make it a Safe Zone. I [i]think[/i] that got mentioned before, but that would have been at least a page ago, if not two. So, you know, last year. :lol Don't you just love life's unending obstacles? 

Needless to say, nope! It was great as-is to lead into the time skip. For a future thought suggestion, maybe think about leading into a time skip like ending a chapter. Usually how it is in my head. Yay for an eleven-ish hour hike! It's a big forest. They would have rested along the way, of course, for as long as Ghent and/or Elayra would have needed each time. And they've been out of Hollow Forest and in your typical woods for between one and two hours at this point, following the stream.

Looks good! Hooded cowels are a medieva/renaissance piece of garb. That have actually been adapted in different forms into the modern day, from what I can tell... And yeah, huh? Makes it that much neater now! I like the way you see things.

Not sure about that, but he'd appreciate the thought!

:-D

Yep, yep! Gotta love when terms get other, opposite uses in different places. If you look up fluff writing, the negative term is what you'll get more of than another way to say light-hearted writing. And I know you did. :-)

I kinda can't wait to see how him snapping plays out. :lol
