Neverwinter Forest follow the beat of another conundrum

Sorry about the massive delay on a response here. :C

When she visible relaxed, he found the same point of cadence to follow. Most times it probably wasn't worth the stress of being on edge, but he found that it came far too easy now than it had in days past. Perhaps a homage to all the things that they had endured in the Spine, where the tensions continued to run high. In a way, he hated that it had become his go-to feeling. It should have been a warning sign, but it had yet to turn out that way for him, however unknowingly that was.

“Through the forest behind you a ways. Once you've worked your way through most of this… overgrown forest, there's a nice little valley that we laid claim to.” The end of his statement seemed a bit pointed, but he couldn't avoid the mention. The Spine was claimed, and strongly so by its inhabitants. Inhabitants, which for the most part he knew didn't enjoy visitors all that much. “What about you? You don't live here, do you?” His curiosity budded at the thought that perhaps she was on her own. Who knew how long she had been kicking around in this forest?
