Mateia nods in agreement, then moves toward the entrance of the cavern. After a careful investigation, she finds a small path that winds its way around the outcropping and down to the riverbank. Once there, she lets Masato take the lead, guiding him with her directions towards where she believes the settlement should be. There's no specific path once you enter the forest, but Mateia seems confident in the direction nonetheless. After about fifteen minutes of walking, Masato spots a break in the trees and a group of somewhat ramshackle buildings ahead.<br/><br/>"Let me go ahead first so I can explain," Mateia says, moving up to Masato's right as she spots the same thing and glances up at him. "They don't know you and I don't want any misunderstandings."
