Great Bear Wilderness a flock of birds

It looks pretty cool. Well, he couldn't deny him that. As foul of a mood that Atreyu was in, he did agree that the territory had strange sort of charm to it. He shrugged at Charon's comment, and watched as he moved forward. His own gait had a slight, stiff limp to it, no doubt because of his injuries. He almost called out to remind Charon to watch his step among the sharp rocks but quickly bit his tongue. What was he, his mother?

He followed after the boy, eyeing the rocky formations and the strange walls that surrounded the quarry. The whole place seemed...unnatural. Charon was fascinated —even excited — by the place but Atreyu remained reserved and cautious. He relaxed a little as the Beta confirmed that it wasn't the best place to reside, and gave a nod as he suggested they explore further. They hadn't travelled this far for nothing.

"We could always run prey into it," he said with a soft laugh, nodding at the jutting rocks. He wondered if the tactic would even work — some animals were dumb enough to leap to their death to escape predators. The forests surrounding the area were reasonable enough, but Charon specifically mentioned they needed to find a mountain; and so they would continue looking.
