Nick's eyes narrowed at theother but he snorted and begain to lead theother on a path that would take them around the dangerous zone. his feet made no noise..hell he didn't even seem to step on a twig at any moint. then again if one lived for eyars in the forest.. one picked up a thing or two.Rechign a denser part he made a waiting motion, tugged a staff, that wasn't long enough to do much good but had a sharp edged hook on it and begain using it to climb up the side of a tree easily until he could reach the branchs and move much faster up the tree. once at the top he looked around found the direction he wanted and made his way back down. "This way..unless you'd perfer to join up with a hunting party i saw a few miles that way?" he pointed in the correct direction.
