Blacktail Deer Plateau This is what I thought so think me naïve

A faint smile scrawled across his face at the mention of avoiding Blackfeather Woods altogether. Mordecai would most definitely not have an issue there; mentally he was already preparing a route that would allow him to give it a generous berth. More than likely, skirting the Spine would be the wisest option available to him — he did not anticipate that Cara would give him any trouble for passing by.

"Perhaps I'll see if Harlyn would like to come along," he mentioned, wondering if she would be inclined to join him. Perhaps she too would want to avoid the scenery of their old stomping grounds, but she had not spent much time apart from him in recent days.

He wouldn't dawdle on the fact that it was something important and needed to be passed along, though it would get there truthfully whenever it would get there.
