"All strangers... Well. I suppose it won't hurt for me to stay around a bit and just observe." Sirdan said, even though he felt very, very uneasy about this.

What season was it again? His weather knowledge weren't exactly up to par, though he knew the moon rise somewhere... In the midday, not too visible. Perhaps somewhere around five, or six, or seven?

"That's a good suggestion - I'll stay around till dawn. It would be appropriate to introduce myself. My name's Sirdan, a steppe elf from Selnari Khanate."
Gene
" Well, just take it easy till night falls. " Lark told the Steppe Elf as he went to pick up his sword, sheathing it once more. 

" Well, I suppose I should introduce everyone? Well, that grey-haired man there is Lang, sort of the leader of the group. The red-head is Rouge, the blonde is Mia, that other black-haired macen is Butch and I'm Lark. Pleased to meet ya'~ " He introduced everyone briefly. 

The others simply scrutinized Sirdan for a short while before dispersing. 

" We all do our own stuff here, and only gather back for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can do the same. Do you have your own tent? "
Judy
"Damn. I guess starting an introduction with a life-or-death fight really make you unpopular, does it?" Sirdan joked, sheathing his own sword and unstrapping his shield after.

He walked over to his horse, taking out his wilderness camping gear, and set up a tent of his own,"All of them already dispersed. Say, how come you cannot enter the city limit or go beyond the forest?"
Gene
" Hm.. Well, we were isolated here unwillingly. They pushed us into this forest saying that there's a follower of the killer werewolf that has been rampaging about.. How ridiculous! False charges, I say! We were basically accused! " Lark seemed rather agitated. 

" I have waaaay more better things to do but if we try to exit the forest, they threatened to kill us... " He sighed.
Judy
"And who is the they that pushed you into here?" *Something seemed off. Where did everyone disperse to? Getting their daily necessities? Where'd they buy their things?*
Gene
" Huh? The Salvain Empire, of course. They forcefully asked us to pack our stuff and come to this forest.. How unreasonable. Well, we're all travellers though, so we're all prepared for camping outdoors.. It's been a few days since then.. I wonder when are they planning to let us out..? " He sighed.
Judy
"So, imperial soldiers. Not the Guild, and the guild has been hired to deal with this on their behalf. How troublesome. It would be easier to deal with if it was just the guild instead of these... Bureaucrats."

*He scratched his head wondering how to get them out of this pickle.*

"It'd be easier to resolve if there were actual werewolf to be caught, but that's not something I could really count on."
Gene
" Well.. You'd simply have to wait and see. We personally don't believe that there's a werewolf running amuck since all of us are still fine despite staying here for days.. But there definitely has been cases of people getting eaten by something similar to that of a wolf. We speculate that it might just be a normal wolf and not a werewolf— but who knows what the people are thinking? " Lark sighed. 

" Anyways, wait till night fall! If nothing happens, you can go report back to the Guild that there was no werewolf and we'd all be happy. " He smiled.
Judy
"You make a good suggestion, Lark. I suppose if I stayed here for half a day, it would be sufficient evidence to convince them the wolf doesn't exist."

*Sirdan still felt overly wary about this, however. He sat down in front of his tent, resting and looking around.*

"Hmm. Time is best not spent wasted."

*He decided to start target practising with his bow and arrow on a nearby tree.*

After a few hours, night soon arrived, with the moon stationed up high in the starry sky. The members of the camp had still yet to return, with the exception of Lark who was simply lazing about the camp. Like the High Elf said, it was a full moon tonight. The night made the forest slightly more eerie, and naturally, darkened the forest, which made it hard to navigate around the forest if you were unfamiliar with the place. 

" The others should be returning soon for dinner. " Lark said. " We eat the wild boars and stuff around the place, hope you don't mind. We don't really have much of a choice either, you se— " His words would abruptly get cut off by a distant **Howl..** 

```"AWOOO~!"```

" ..Seriously..? "
Judy
Sirdan had spent most of his time chatting with Lark, and found something eerie about most of the camp members not returning. AS night fell, he turned toward Lark, trying to strike up another conversation again.

"Do they take so long to return usually?" 

Sirdan went over to his horse, unpacking some delicious, freshly bought provisions, and started preparing dinner,"I brought some fresh meat and vegetables with me from the city, so I could liven up dinner."

Sirdan's horse kicked its legs up in the air in panic, and he turned toward the source of the noise, rushing toward his weapons.

"Yep, seriously."
