Inadi continued following Jasper through the woods, taking in the warmth that the hot spot had given him considering that the dark forest surrounding them all was not that pleasant in regards to the temperature. Thinking on it he was very interested in knowing how that hot spot was made in the first place. Was it always like that in the forest? Or did the walking of the Turtle Dragon open up some kind of fissure in the ground? It was hard to say and even more difficult to focus on when he was having trouble just following Jasper through the many trees in front of him.

Eventually Jasper was able to figure out where Harper and Leila was. He smiled at the two of them as Inadi noticed a little bit of blood on Harper's head. Quickly inspecting his head and seeing a bit of a gash there made him shake his head. “Well hopefully it isn't too bad in the long run. Can't really take care of it while that dragon thing is chasing us down.” Inadi told him with a quick pat on the shoulder. They were already going to have to deal with those stupid hooded figures, the likelihood being that there would be some kind of scrum going into that meeting. Being injured before they even opened the door was not really wanted by Inadi and he was sure by the rest of the group. He then began following the rest of the group as Ran later ended up running into them as well.

Inadi covered the back as the others began tracking down the echoes that went through the forest to find the rest of the group. Yet for some reason it seemed that there was another noise as well surrounding them. Branches breaking in the distance as they continued walking. They were quiet and soft, easily missed if you weren't looking out for it. Since Inadi was already on red alert with the dragon he heard a small crack in the direction away from the dragon and then another one a little later on. Jasper continued with the others to try and find Toby with all his Marco Polo calls deeper in the woods.

Inadi held up a hand and tried to get Leila's attention. Eventually tapping her arm, he pointed towards where he heard the sound. “Leila, tell me I'm not the only one hearing that little branch cracking out there,” He pleaded with her as he gripped Kain a little tighter as he tried to keep his ear open to the sound again. With another quick crack Inadi felt his spine shift behind him and he shook his head. “Something's out there and I don't think its any of us. Do you think it could be a hooded figure?” He asked her while trying to keep up with the others.

Eventually the others caught back up with Toby and the rest of their crew. It was good to see them all again but the nerves still hadn't settled in Inadi's hands as they now began noticing the shots and screams back towards the dragon. While Jasper wanted to go back and help out the Nobodies Inadi couldn't help but feel like that was a bad idea. “Jasper at this point we can't afford to go back. We take up too much time fighting that dragon and we weaken ourselves for the hooded figures. And I know you don't think they are just going to give us back what they took from us without a fight.” Inadi said with a very focused, albeit harsh tone. Plus, how were they supposed to fight a thing of that size. It was a miracle they were able to talk to the other dragon's before. He doubted this one was as open minded as those in Sol.

Stepping forward towards Harper, he pointed out towards where he heard the cracking sounds. “Harper, I don't know if it was just an animal or something but I know for a fact I heard something out in that direction. My guess is that it is somebody either following us, or worse yet trying to lead us somewhere,” He told him as he grabbed the spear in his hands and leaned on it for a little support. He had been running for so long now it had been some time since he last had a decent breather in the end. “I say we follow it, track it down and see exactly what it is rather than risking ourselves taking out that dragon. Leave it to the soldiers and experts there with Japhet. I'm sure he'll give that thing more than he bargained for when he started running after us.” He said as he looked over to Jasper and the others with a somber look on his face. Yes, he was basically leaving the Nobodies there to die at the hands of an enemy that even he knew they stood no chance against. Then again....it wasn't like it was the first time Inadi had done that as he thought back to Avian. Guilt began building in his chest as he started leaning in harder on Kain. Sighing, he waited for the others to figure out their plan of attack. Inadi just prayed that they took his suggestion into consideration. He hated speaking and having no one hear him out at least.
