Tori noticed that the tension had not eased between the woman and the group, despite their efforts. Tori was still too nervous to say anything. She briefly wondered if she should when the three lizard creatures appeared again, still panicking. The red woman seemed to notice that something was amiss, making Tori curious as to what that would be. That question was quickly answered when odd green tendrils of light appeared. They looked pretty to Tori, but the woman was definitely afraid of them, as proven by the way she acted. Tori then made the wise decision to run for her life, away from whatever was chasing them.

Tori had lost track of time as she ran. All she cared about was getting someplace safe, away from all the danger. Surprisingly, she managed to avoid tripping on any roots and was able to keep up with the others. Eventually they reached some sort of road with paved stones. The things that had been following them were stopped by some invisible barrier, and Tori was able to get a good look at them for the first time. Naturally, Tori had no idea what they were, but she couldn't help but admire just how magnificent they looked. Sure, they also looked incredibly menacing and dangerous, but beautiful in their own way. The mob of beasts soon moved away, though, with Tori still looking at them as they left.

The situation finally calmed down now, which Tori was grateful for. She then noticed just how tired she was, and she lied on her back as she breathed somewhat heavily, looking up at the sky. Tori then turned her head to her side, her eyes resting on a knife in a leather sheath on the ground. Pushing herself up, Tori got a better look at it and gingerly picked it up by the handle. Pulling the knife out, Tori admired it for a few moments before putting it back in the sheath. Attaching the sheath to her shorts, Tori began looking for anything else that could be useful when she saw Charlotte. Tori debated for a moment whether it was a good idea to go talk to her, then decided that it would be rude to not thank her. "[color=c4df9b]Umm, e-excuse me,[/color]" Tori said nervously as she approached Charlotte. "[color=c4df9b]Th-thank you for, um, helping us, b-back there.[/color]"
