"So....I'm guessing I'm the first person you've ran into in this clusterfuck," Ellie said to Elesis, seeing as Elesis didn't have anyone else with her before now. --- "C'mon, I'll take you somewhere that isn't as dangerous as this...I'll protect you if you want," Ludger says to Mary as he picks up the girl, hopefully she doesn't freak out since technically both of them are strangers to each other. Ludger only wanted to help her out, like how he did with Elle. Just hopefully he won't be seen as some sort of creep by her... Carrying the young girl in his arms, Ludger decided to see if he could find any form of civilization for them to stop by at, a forest wasn't exactly the best place to be all alone... --- "Oh, we do know that. It's a precaution. You never know if they're enemies if you just plain out trust them, and then they backstab you in the long run. Then again, that's just my little experience with having to deal with all of that as a detective," Erika said, not really minding if she does make enemies or not. It was only then she wondered to herself...just what would they do here from this point onwards? "Lady Erika, allow me to speak, but I can sense many others in this forest environment. It is suggested that we start moving and soon reach a form of settlement. This forest cannot be endless, so at some point, we will reach the edge of this forest," Dlanor speaks, suggesting that they should get moving or else they would most likely die out here in the forest or be forever lost.
