Neverwinter Forest There are diamonds in the sky

Though the victors, as Mal and @Simmik trudged back, they acted more like the losers. They hadn't killed the guy. Why couldn't they have been able to? What didn't work? It was probably Mal's fault somehow, because he didn't want to fight usually, he wanted to be peaceful. It was probably all on his head. They weren't able to kill them because Mal didn't want to be forced into being a fighter.

The walk was largely quiet, unhurried, mostly because Mal wanted to make sure it was easy on Simmik's shoulder, but their paws pointed towards @Aibreann's den in the end. Mal's nose was still dripping -- it's not like he could stop it while walking, and he'd pawed at it a few times to start and decided it hurt so ignored it to the best of his abilities. Mal wasn't navigating by scent because of it, but figured she'd be somewhere near the den so called out, Aibreann? and listened for her answer as they came up on the clearing. If not he might have to ask Simmik to look for her, he mostly smelled his own blood right now.
