Jade Fern Grove it shut its eyes entirely and looked the other way.

Fortunately, with the healing skills of his companion his leg had been healing a lot better than he anticipated, though he still had quite a long way to go from here. He was traveling farther from the lair, able to cover more land than in the recent future. Staying put long made his muscles and bones ache to roam around and experience new life — even if it sent a shooting pain up his thigh practically every step. 

Strangely, he was getting used to the feeling. In no way had it dimmed in severity, nor numbed but it was becoming more an annoyance than a disability. His anger had almost entirely dissipated since he and Alarian last spoke, finding a mutual understanding in one another. Finally, back to their routine ways. 

Seeing a stranger made his hairs stand on end, but at this point if any harm were to be even hinted at, the three knew very well at this point to run, and could hold confrontations when they had the ability to walk an hour without cleaning a wound. 

He chuffed to signal to the newcomer of their existence, attempting to decipher whether he be a friend or foe. At this point, another friend would be much appreciated with their last unsettling encounters. Maybe even a new part of the team.
