I've no idea. A new friend mentioned a greenhouse to me during the ferry incident... but I've no idea if things could even grow in there.

[ She is about to continue, but Nyx's attention is drawn elsewhere. It makes her go quiet, her gaze locked on him until he looks back at her. ]

....Are you alright?

[nyxulric]

Yeah, I just... thought I heard something.

[ Even as he explains himself to her, he can't help but glance off around them again. Watching. Wondering. Hand itching to take hold of his dagger. It could just be his imagination? Yeah, that's it, right? But he knows better than to brush off anything, especially when surrounded by so much darkness. ]

[luxoraculi]

Oh?

[ It's Lunafreya's turn to frown out into the darkness, eyes narrowing as she scans the area and finds... nothing but the usual darkness and gloom that surrounds them. ]

I think it's safe, I neither see nor hear anything suspicious.

[nyxulric]

Guess you're right.

[ Still, it's not as though he's going to completely ignore the possibility of something or someone being out there. Just look at where they are. ]

Better get a move on. At least where there's a bit more light or people.

[luxoraculi]

Worry not, Nyx. I will protect you from the things that go bump in the night.

[ She smiles at him, giving him the lightest of playful nudges as they go along. ]

Should we not be looking to do the opposite of that? Where there are people, there will likely be less food and things to be found, yes?

[nyxulric]

Not really what I meant.

[ It's said as they continue on, a fleeting glance given to their surroundings. ]

True. But there's safety in numbers as well. Besides, if we keep close enough, there's nothing wrong with that.

[luxoraculi]

Are you certain?

[ It's too easy to tease him gently, after all. Besides, she wants to put his mind at ease. ]

Perhaps. We can try that first, and if we cannot find many supplies, then we will head off deeper into the forest. Does that sound alright?

[nyxulric]

Heading off deeper into the forest with who knows what out there.

[ A shake of his head, he sighs a bit. ]

You don't really do the whole playing it safe thing, do you?

[luxoraculi]

I'm hardly afraid, and I think between the two of us, we can fend ourselves quite well.

[ She laughs, though, looking back at the path ahead of them. ]

I would much rather take the chance and see if we can't find something good, that's all.
