Neverwinter Forest And they welcome everyone to stay

:eyes:

Mal hadn't noticed he was followed.  He'd just paused because another set of tracks crossed his path -- one that excited him -- he was pretty sure those were from hooves.  Was stuff finally going back to---?  What was that?  His head whipped around at the sound of some footsteps behind him that hadn't matched his own.  It took him a moment to pick that something was there out in the darkness, but the light pelt certainly helped.  There was saw some scrawny kid stopped at the borders.  Huh.  He tucked the rabbit at the foot of a pine for now since he probably should investigate, and looked back to the borders again.  Still there.  And so, Mal headed back to greet them.  

So why was some random kid here?  Sure, Mal had collected a couple in his ranks, but the fact she hadn't called out confused him a little.  Whatever.  Mal strode over, stopped on his side of the border and spoke, Looking for something?  Mal was totally being cool again, but this time it was all natural -- this was his pack and things were good here.
