The bagel girl would be of no use if she weren’t in the right head space. Meanwhile, Vetreus watched intently should she make any drastic moves on the hatchling. The verdant forest carried an unsettling eeriness, it was alive, a self-sufficient labyrinth ecosystem bearing unknown horrors. The draconian fingers rested on the hilt of his blade as he took in his surroundings. Griselda on the other hand had now closed their eyes, fully immersing themselves in their senses. The rhythmic beat of the forest echoing in their ears ever so slightly. She then craned her head towards Vausts direction, her action akin to a compass pointing north without disturbance. Her body would wrap tighter around his upper torso. Instinctually tensing her body up. Vetreus would examine his partner with a curt expression. He found her reaction a bit odd, raising more red flags about the doctor. [color=0072bc]“Theres a sound coming from deep within, it’s going Dum-Dum…Dum-Dum..”[/color] she remarked, [color=0072bc]“also there sounds like something is being ripped apart in the distance. I can’t really make it out though too much.”[/color] She added proudly. It was unsettling, even for Vetreus. Particularly the turn of the head she gave Vaust. He had a bad feeling, the doctor's demeanor was a bit too calm. His movement and words came as though they were predetermined. Griselda’s reaction to him also had the draconian on edge. The hatchling was naive but she held a good intuition when it came to who to trust and who not to. Fei and Vaust would take the lead leaving Vetreus, Penny, and Esther to the rear. [color=fff79a]“I thought Fae loved dense overgrowth such as this place? Don’t tell me you're a scared jester.”[/color] The draconian folded his arms as he sideeyed Esther before sighing. [color=fff79a]“We’ll be fine, so long as you stay close.”[/color] A grin would form as everyone seemed to settle into their roles. Turns out they all had some nifty tricks, Vetreus felt a bit of relief. Griselda may have belonged to a mighty race but she was still a child and her powers have yet to fully mature. Vetreus rested his hand on the hilt of his blade, [color=fff79a]“Nice to know you’re worth protecting.”[/color] He was impressed by Fei’s map, a skill that was arguably the most valuable when it came to maneuvering a tricky labyrinth such as this one. He looked toward Penny with a contemplative stare.[color=fff79a] “Guess that leaves me and you to show our worth.”[/color] He didn’t see a weapon on her. Perhaps she wielded magic? Or a scholar of some sorts? Either way, she’d have to pull her own weight here soon.
