"M-HmmhmmHMM!~~<3" a particularly cheery Kuroneko hummed. Head cupped in a hand and elbows resting on the back of the seat that Dimitri leaned against, the woman's warm breath tickled his ear as she spoke, "Picking up girls you've just met now? For shame, to do it without me!" she chided him. "Though, I think you'll need more than just a little play on words to catch her interest!~" As the others quickly picked up on Aya's Ranger play however, Sif merely gave an annoyed grunt as she sat their and pouted, over-sized reins in hand. Thinking about it, the sight was a comical one, but not as comical as what they thought they heard.
"I wanna be the red ranger..."
"Not too much I'm afraid. We've only just gotten friendly and familiar with the locals, and are setting out just now," she replied to Yuzuki, having made sure to let them all have their fun first however. Still, there was an important question that hadn't been answered. "Usually, Sif would be the one to ask, but I'll do so for her instead; just what do you all think our encounter implies?" They had met several goblins being used as cannon fodder by a small group of Hobgoblins, who were all well armed and armored. And not only that, were fairly well trained and disciplined. Something that was out of place when it came to brigands stalking the roads in search of easy prey.
As the open top carriage rolled along, their loot piled in the back, the scenery slowly began to change. To either side of them, a loose forest of trees and bushes lining the road were present, lush and minty with moss. However, as they traveled, the greenery to either side seemed to slowly peel away to eventually reveal vast planes of grass as the road itself chose to meander and tread around what soon became apparent; a dense, thick forest to their left. The path had curved through its thinner outskirts out of necessity, but now made to avoid it entirely as they ventured further into the planes. And, just barely visible over the tall, brooding forest, were cold and distant mountaintops.
Thankfully, they were heading away from both.
