Julie
*The girl seemed shy at the headpat, but let Matsuko do it nonetheless, her hands flattening her shirt.*

"Th-thank you. For helping my village."

*She then wandered into the forest, beginning to climb a tree, to stay safe.*

*As you four traveled through the forest, you would be able to hear some speech, but not able to make out what they say. It's obvious that there's multiple people, a fire burning.*
Elizabeth
*Juna would walk with her Jackal pressed close to her side. She kept her bow tightly held in her grasp while gazing around the forest for any sign of the raiders. At the sound of the voices ahead, she would suddenly stop and allow her ears to angle themselves forward. The Canifor would say in a low voice:*

"I think they're close..."

*She didn't like the idea that there was no telling how many raiders there were in total. The lack of knowledge could end up leaving them overwhelmed in battle. Her gaze would pass over to the trees that surrounded them. Maybe she could at least get a vantage point there to see what they were up against. Jace would look up at her expectantly as if waiting for her to do something, but instead Juna simply decided to look towards the others and see what they thought was the best course of action.*
Margaret
*Niurga ceased her advance as the whispering voice of both the ally and unknowns men crossed her hears. It was small, yet perceptible by a small amount. Yet couldn't manage to get a clear idea of the number nor they subject of the conversation. It was too frail for that.*

*She'd glance over at the comrades, her sword firmly held by the side. Her look spotted the small gaze over the trees from Juna, thinking that it would also be a good idea to get an advantageous sight over what was happening further back.*

"**Come here, i'll boost you up there**"

*The brayer said, knelling down with one of her hands ready to lift the smaller feline individual.*
Carolyn
*Matsuko also halted in the risk of them being spotted. He could hear the vague voices of the raiders and his grip only tightened. His greatsword would be at his left and he was ready to for battle.*

*'They're close..'*

*He'd look towards his party members for a brief moment.* 

"Careful, we don't want them raising an alarm."

*Matsuko would whisper with a calm voice. He slowly took one step closer to the tree in front of him and tried to see if he could spot anyone.* 

`1 m/s North.`
Esther
*Charlotte would follow the lead of her companions and stopped before they were spotted. The Macen would carefully unsheathe her shield off her back in preparation for whatever was gonna happen. So far, it looked like Juna was getting a better view with the help of Niurga. As such, the girl would leave it to the brayer to help/protect the canifore for now.*

*For now, Charlotte chose to follow along with Matsuko's lead. She'd nod to what he said, despite if he could see her or not.*
``1m North, 2M East``
