[indent][indent]Migi clapped her hands on her hips as the one called Raddek stated that he was aware of where they were and where they needed to go. She wasn’t entirely convinced of this party’s usefulness, but at least the one man was offering up something useful beyond a stick.

She opened her mouth to say something when the footfalls caught her attention. She took a few steps back and went to slide behind the many other taller people in the group. Look, she wasn’t the sort to use her height in cowardice—but she enjoyed living, and this newly found freedom was just beginning. Let her get at least a day to decide whether or not it was worth living. The struggle that followed made Migi pause and consider the ones around her. None of them had skirted off into the woods to assault or be assaulted. No, this was a new set of people, or creatures, in their midst. Raddek swung into action after that, almost animalistic in nature. Migi raised a brow at that but cautiously followed him anyway. She’d advocated heavily for the woods, and despite this new development she still preferred it.

The dwarf inspected the blood smear with the intensity of a dog inspecting another dog’s shit. His pointed words caused her to roll her eyes. “Aye, yes, well if it was another burrahob, it’ll be chewin’ for a while. We come in two varieties, muscly or fat. Either innint much of a good mouthfeel—as the fancy ones say.” She shot another look to Reyvadin. “But if it was a dwarf, well, we have all the time in the world with that gristle.”

Lorcan—the stupidly tall one—also fashioned himself a staff. Maybe he was going to use it as a branch to his tree-like height. He could blend in with the forest if he so wished. All these tall folk seemed content to hem and haw at the edge of the road, letting the dwarf be the only one to dip his fingers into the pudding, as they say. Migi scowled.

“Look, I ain’t one to eat my words much like whatever that was ate that person. So, trail in the woods to the ominous fire feels like the best course of action. Better than stayin’ on the road, or bein’ lost in unfamiliar woods with whatever carnivorous, small-folk eatin’ monster is around.” Migi pushed past Raddek and Faeril. “Look, I can stay a bit a head of the rest of you lot and let you know what’s up ahead. Keep low to the ground, and if you make short jokes about that I’ll rip off the lot of you’s balls. I can reach.” She ran a hand through her thick tallow-hued hair, her bangs hiding her eyes like they usually did—even in this sticky weather. “Keep an eye and ear out, and if things get dicey… well, I have my way around those situations. Sound good?”

Migi didn’t wait for their affirmation as she walked into the woods. Showing them her back was the easiest way to get it stabbed. She knew that. But she also knew they needed to make progress while it was still light out, and they had the jump on whatever was here. Their arrival hadn’t entirely been silent.
