Zel thought it sounded rather rude to leave right away, on the off chance that their guide did show up. On the other hand... he really didn't have much hope that he'd show up. After a moment Zel turned to the foreign man and nodded. "Yes alright," he said. "It would be a real shame to fall two days behind schedule."<br/><br/>For a moment, the stone man pondered. "I wonder," he voiced. "The path continues on after the lake. I wonder if it goes anywhere near Keirus' home? If it at least goes close it might be nice to stay on a trail for a bit. One can make faster progress on a trail than by dodging bushes and tree branches." He'd directed the comment somewhat at Ahmaht. Zel hadn't seen where the fire had come from, and while Keirus had given them a general direction for reference he'd rather get a second opinion, preferably with someone who was present.
