Neverwinter Forest Believe that time is always forever

His attention turned towards the deer once more, confirming the placement of the one they’d decided to bring down. Thus far, the three of them had each remained quiet enough so as not to alert the creatures of their close proximity, which pleased the elder. He believed them to have a moderate chance at success, but understood the scale was capable of tipping in either direction. Of course, he hoped they would be able to make the kill, but didn’t allow his spirits to reach too high. He turned his head to look at the girl when she asked a question, but did not answer right away. Again, he scanned the area around them, gaze stopping a little ways off. There was a space between the trees that created a sort of pathway, though it was not overly wide. On either side, a scattering of bushes were stationed, creating a decent enough covering for the argent boy. Settling on that as his place of waiting, he used his nose to point it out to the children. “Herd it over there,” he said, looking to June first (since she’d asked), and then to Mason.
 
Alastor was about to start towards his designated area, but stopped as he was reminded of something. “You will want to move along opposite sides of the deer,” the male stated. “It will give you better control over the direction it goes in.” If both lingered on a single side of the animal, then that provided it with the perfect direction to run off in. “Remember to be careful, and fulfill the promise you each made. If it tries to go against you in any way, move out of its path.” Each of them received a stern look to show he was being serious about what he’d said, though it looked extremely out of place against his usually soft features. His expression became far more natural-looking when the hard stare morphed into a look of encouragement. “You two will do great,” he assured them, though his words had not been requested. With that, he nodded them off, signaling for them to sneak around and over to the doe. He then started moving, too, readying himself to attack.
