Vex was approaching. The boy, human, was particularly lost, and has fended for himself successfully so far. His eyes never wandered aimlessly, always focusing on anything that may be dangerous, or the path. His sword was drawn, and had just been wiped clean of blood yet again. Yet, he feared that it may be growing dull. He had been lucky to this point, and had seen his attackers coming far in advance, and had a lot of time to prepare. But "Harmless" plants have been catching him off-guard, and occassionally tripping him up. Nothing he couldn't get out of yet, but he was eager to find the exit to this place.<br/><br/>He was about fourteen, and was physically fit: Particularly lean, but wirey. He had pale skin (although his face was a bit flushed at this point, quite exhausted himself) dark blue eyes, and somewhat wavey strawberry blonde hair atop his head. He wore a simple, bloused white shirt, which by now was moist from sweat and dirt, clinging to him more than he'd have otherwise liked. Plus, it had a few fresh rips in it, although nothing major. His flesh was yet unbroken. He had simple black boots, which his black pants were tucked into, and they had a layer of mud about the bottom of them, as well. The truth was, he had been walking for quite some time... He was tired, and he knew that it was killing his reflexes. But he couldn't rest, no, not here.. he couldn't afford to be caught off-guard.<br/><br/>But maybe at least a small break was in order... He spotted a boulder, and allowed himself to sit for a while, catching his breath.<br/><br/>Maybe he was putting too much effort into it. Maybe this forest scared him. Maybe that was why he was so exhausted now. But even sitting, he kept his eyes darting around, just in case.<br/><br/>.... But wait. What.. what was that scent? He tipped his head up curiously, and took a wiff of the air. Hm. That was different. He hadn't smelled something like that yet, although he couldn't pinpoint what the smell resembled. Well, that was fine... in a second or so, he'd go investigate.
