Haunted Wood I'm gonna smoke you out

Valour shuffles lazily just behind her looking around as the conversation continued. He was a bit surprised by how cold and to the point she was much like her fighting style though he wondered if she was as sharp intelligently. "True but Mentor's aren't. We are strong in our heads but they teach us to be strong with our muscles and teeth" he flexed his own muscles though it came across less impressive than intended because he was a lean, leggy boy at the moment. 


His tail sank and he gave her a somber look, eyes softening for just a moment when she said she had nobody. He was reminded of Phex and Bronwen for a moment before he shook his head. Having attachments didnt help you become strong. His expression hardened and he quickened his pace, face burning as he took the lead and climbed nimbly over a fallen tree standing on it for a beat "That's probably better. Helps to not be tugged in different directions" with that he jumped off the log and continued, slowing so she could catch up if she wanted.
