Ravensblood Forest suddenly he's up and gone

The child glowered at his opponent but he stayed planted, bristling and showcasing those useless little teeth of his, when Vercingetorix shot him a look. That curbed much of the fire that Reyes was spouting; he didn't know how to fight and even if he did, there was an adult present who wouldn't allow for any such shenanigans. The poor boy was confused by the unfolding events, flustered by the shouting voices and the oceanic crash of emotions between the pair - he was not at fault for reacting negatively.

Thankfully they began to speak more plainly, and as the sad man explained, they would head back to Rusalka - except that there was something called an Isi that they needed to find first. Reyes turned his attention away from the shouty boy as he heard this. What was an Isi? Why did they need one? Couldn't they just go home to where it was quiet --? I don't want you trying to get back to Rusalka alone, the man cautioned, as if he could read Reyes' mind.

Come with us, and then we'll all go back together. At least it was a question, not an order. It gave Reyes a moment to pause and reflect on his next move - he looked over his shoulder at the twisting woods around them, trying to imagine the route back home, and knew it would be safer to stick with the man even if the man seemed unhinged right now. The boy put away his teeth, and shyly looked around Vercingetorix at the young boy beyond him, asking, Is that OK? It seemed right to Reyes that he get the approval of the upset boy; he didn't want to cause further chaos.
