[ Now that they're able to wander a bit more, Kotetsu is finding himself wandering out toward the trees. He's not entering the forest, but he's putting his hand over his eyes to peer off at the hills that look really appealing.
He's debating if this exploration is a good idea or a bad idea. Either way... ]
The scenery is pretty beautiful, isn't it?
[ While he knows he doesn't need to talk directly to Finley, it makes him feel a bit better saying things out loud, even if if he doesn't get a verbal response from her in return. ]

Everything here kinda falls into the category of “pretty but ominous”.
[ wow finley your voice is so deep and also actually present all of a sudden— oh no, it’s just yuri. he’s here too, i guess. ]
… But the daemons don’t seem to be freaking out about the forest in the same way they did the edge of the fog the other day, so maybe that’s a good sign?

[ and here he was trying to get her to speak all the time and she just starts!!
wait. ]
It's an improvement over that pending doom feeling before. I'm tempted to see if there's any kind of path through here. It might give us leads to get out.

[ alas. no talkie talkie for the daemon. ]
You think it’ll be that easy? [ i mean he’ll take it if it is, but… ]

Yet optimism remains a stubborn waypoint in life.
[ he shrugs. ]
I'd say what's the worst that could happen, but maybe we don't want to answer that.

Which is why I'm still curious.
[ he's not sure now. ]
The worst is that we don't come back. But that's a possibility with anything and sometimes you just need to take that risk.

I am a big fan of not dying mysteriously in forests.

What do you think the odds are on either of those happening if we go into this forest?
My gut instinct is to go running in.
[ glances over at Yuri ]
What about you?

Normally I don’t get much say in the matter, but going in would be more my style.
Then forward we go!

Let me know if you see any kind of path.

[ today has been... a lot. and catching up with people after has been draining. not bad, mostly, but it's been taxing.
so by the time he runs into yuri on the way back to the hotel, he's starting to feel it. but this doesn't mean he won't stop to wave at yuri. ]
How're you doing after that whole scene?

That whole scene…? You mean finding the body?
[ he's SQUINTIN' ]
I see a lot of woodland. You think people just never came through here, or just knew the forest well enough that the path didn't matter?

Hey.

Hey back.

[ he was thinking the whole trial, but honestly? ]
Yeah. I heard it was a mess.
Yeah. I heard it was a mess.
So, how’re we doing on a scale of one to “over it”?
Pretty literally, yeah. And that was only one part of the whole thing.
Or maybe it's been a long time since anyone came through here.
[ look at the city's shape, after all ]

I'm not even sure it fits on that scale anymore.
