Tristan accepted the repellant Katerine offered and continued the conversation.<br/><br/>"yes, this Island is far from normal so it wouldn't surprise me if some of the insects or flora wound up being just as or if not more dangerous than the dinosaurs."<br/><br/>Tristan stopped for a moment, peeled off his jacket and bag then sprayed some of the clear fluid onto most of his skin. He set the bottle down and worked the contents around his arms and neck with both hands. He breathed a sigh of relief and scooped the bottle back up before handing it back over to Katerine. He threw his jacket back on and retrieved his bag from the ground once again strapping it around a shoulder.<br/><br/>"Thanks I really appreciate that, I think I'll hang back with you guys for the majority of this trek. With those guides leading the group at the front it might pay to have a scout or two guarding the rear. Normally when hunting parties stalk a group of prey they dont often attack the head of the group, with us moving around in a straight line formation it's most likely that the predators will try to pick off the stragglers in the back. One by one until the rest of the group realizes what's going on and at that point it's an all out frenzy until everyone's a meal."<br/><br/>He ended the conversation as they reached the two guides near the trees and all of them set off into the jungle terrain. Tristan lingered back until everyone filed in then follwed up from the very back of the group but made sure that the two guides in front were still visible. Inside the jungle tristan was quickly reminded of how uncomfortable the atmosphere was. The humid air was stifling and he quickly began to feel blanketed by it. A few beads of sweat swiftly accumulated on his brow and he rolled his jacket backwards down his shoulders exposing his neck and chest without fully taking it off. Though he seemed like he wasn't, Tristan was very much so attentive to their surroundings, his eyes constantly darted towards the sounds of every cracking branch or bird call along the way and made sure to recognize any and all possible escape routes should they find themselves under attack.
