Unferth examined Illyana thoughtfully as she explained, rather logically, why she would not wish to follow her family’s trail. While it was true that protecting the small children would b etheir number one priority, something about her story was not adding up for him completely, as if he was only being told some of the truth. However her logic seemed sound  and he did not want to quibble at the moment. And is she did have something she wanted to keep private, that was her right anyway, they had just met after all. Illyana seemed to know how to handle herself out here in the woods, Unferth noted as he watched her quickly make her way up and down the tree. He was lucky to have run into an acquaintance who might help him get out of this mess.<br/><br/>“Well if you think we should press on in that direction it’s fine by me we should get moving now then. And don’t worry, you won’t have to slow yourself down too much on my account” He gestured to his leg “I was moving slowly because I didn’t know where I was going, if you lead the way I can move much faster, not as fast as you but I can keep up”<br/>He twitched and nervously rubbed his bow as she mentioned the soldiers “I think I saw a few stragglers from a distance on my way here. Scary, desperate men. Truth be told, as much as I wanted to join my father when he went off to war, I’m beginning to wonder what the point of all this is.”<br/><br/>With that, he started moving off in the direction Illyana had chosen.<br/>
