Swiftcurrent Creek close your eyes

Since it would take about a week give or take (probably longer as Eli would like to explore the territories he comes across) to get to Sequoia Coast, would you be up for having multiple threads? :) I was thinking... Mount Apikuni -> Northstar Vale -> Porcupine Ridge -> Blacktail Deer Plateau (Borders/possibly checking in with them if it makes sense to?) -> Ravensblood Forest. We don't have to do all of them if you don't wanna, but it would help both their Outrider trades. :D

He seemed to have piqued Shadow's interest the moment he spoke up about the position of Outrider. Of course, he thought that a serious guy like him would be pleased to hear him wanting to follow in his footsteps so to speak. Or maybe he was just glad that Eli was thinking things through and wasn't so much of a numbskull as he thought? Who knew. With Shadow happy, Elijah was happy... simple as that. A broad grin curved on his lips at the silver male's smile.
He wanted to take him on an adventuring trip, and maybe... just maybe Elijah decided that he got some brownie points for that. Blue eyes widened a tad, excitement evident in his expression. Exploration trips were one way to win the agouti male over!
“Never been to the sea,” he murmured – his tail wagging a touch faster. From others, he's heard stories about the salty smell in the air, the sand between toes and the crashing waves. It was exciting to think that he may be able to see it for himself soon! “How long will it take?”
