Boundary's assumption that Taya had more than just that one safehouse was confirmed when she said she had not just one but many. The fact she has been so many places made him feel a bit younger in comparison, even if his collective experiences (both his own and foreign experiences) effectively made him much older than his body suggested. The long walk was more of an annoyance than actually exhausting, the uneven ground of the forest floor making him have to adjust his gait with every step. He kept close to her, his eyes scanning possible points of assault. If this Order she spoke of was as powerful and influential as she had implied, then they probably had much better ways of dealing with their problems than a handful of lesser shades. He decided it better to have something else scan the forest with him, rather than have his eyes scan the entirety of the place all by himself. Boundary focused his will on his shadow, muttering a few words of power as he did.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Ebon....Emergo</span>, he said and his shadow, without even the slightest of sound shifted and moved along the ground westward, taking on a standing humanoid shape and jumping up onto a small cliff face, each one of its movements completely silent. It was not even a handful of seconds before Ebon disappeared into the foliage.<br/><br/>Boundary, now shadowless, continued to walk alongside Taya for several hours. He wondered how long it would take to get to this treehouse she spoke of, she had never specified an exact time or described their destination in any way except for that it was a treehouse. A treehouse that belonged to children now full grown adults. This once again made Boundary feel a bit out of place in the age department when around her. This did not however, deter the feelings he still felt crawl under his skin, in fact he felt even more attracted to her. It was good to know she was capable of handling herself and that she had enough wisdom about her to do what was most sensible.<br/><br/>"So..." Boundary said, trying to break the silence, "tell me more about yourself, and I might tell you something about myself, if you care about that sort of thing."
