Neverwinter Forest once in a while

"Sorr-" he began, and cut himself off with a sheepish chuckle. But he couldn't shake off the feeling that he was holding Orochi back, somehow. Like he wasn't good enough, or strong enough. Why had Orochi decided to be friends with a guy like him, anyway? 

It was because Hide had attached himself to the guy when they'd first met, right? So had Orochi really even had much of a say in it anyway? It wasn't like he had pushed him away or anything, but still...

He shook his head with a small smile, putting those thoughts away for now. The red-furred boy leaned against his friend, just to put a little emphasis on the fact that he was done apologizing for the moment. "In that case," he began, taking a deep breath of the air. It was still heavy and wet, but underlying was the scent of evergreens. "Could you tell me what it looks like, a little? Like is it dark? Are the trees tall?" he pressed, angling his ears toward Orochi as he waited for his response.
