At least now Hunter was getting some progress. For a group that had been eager to get out of here (especially the currently crowesque Aleria) when an actual path had been presented practically on a silver platter everyone was suddenly dragging their feet. It seems that there'd be any excuse not to go if it meant going with someone generous enough to bring their currently incapacitated companion back to them. It was...sort of baffling, to tell the truth.<br/><br/>Again, Hunter would have been just as cautious of this stranger had he not gotten the mental drop on her. It would have almost been better had she simply been dominated, as she'd know she was being forced to act against her will. But the magical charm had much more insidious effects, allowing her to dismiss or justify everything that made this Rafael incredibly suspicious. Coupled with the urgent threat of being discovered at any moment made her all the more anxious to get out of there. Walking over to the stairs that led back to the Pilgrim's Path, Hunter hesitated and looked over her shoulder, hoping that her taking the initiative would coax the others into following.
