Having traveled as far as he had, Valen felt fairly tired from the ride on horse-back with a summoned mount carrying him most of the day, and the rest spent walking or setting out a camp. Now that he was almost at his destination, he wondered passingly if he was just asking for a bloody nose getting overly curious about the shadows moving in a nearby house. Then again, the noise did alarm him somewhat, and he felt he should be aware of what was going on.<br/><br/>Moving closer on foot, he tried to remain unnoticed and get to the old farm-house unnoticed. He wanted to investigate, but without drawing too much attention to himself. Sneaking quietly, the elven man was grateful for the fey-influence in him as far as the improved agility went at least, his feet a lot lighter in their step as a result. Trying to remain unseen, he moved along the side of the house, trying to peek in at what was shambling inside, but to get a look at the back porch before even attempting any intrusion to the house.
