Just a Relaxing Cruise! (Rhona)

[Rhona Hall]

Even as she was being slightly poked to keep moving there was a few levels to this mysterious place. This was the Darker woods that she passed over to get to the water. However, she almost thought these people would either be completely nulled to the view or something else was amiss.

"Are you alright?" she would ask. "Not to pry but... you look a little lost." she would look to the expressions of others if they are also as confused as he.

[Sir Galahad]

Jovan shook his head, becoming suddenly frustrated. Instead of answering Rhona he would begin to speak angrily with the woman leading the group. She stopped. Then the whole group stopped and there was some rather angry words exchanged for a few minutes before they both fell silent. Glaring at each other.

[Rhona Hall]

"Is the forest being apprehensive?" she would refer to the conversation about his unique relationship with the forest. A raised eyebrow and a weary glance trading with the trees and to the man.

[Sir Galahad]

The two turned to glare at Rhona for a moment before turning back to each other. Jovan made a demand and the woman made a rather angry noise. Rhona couldn't tell if it was an insult in their language or just a noise made in frustration. But the group would begin moving again. Jovan would then turn back to Rhona.

"She has been walking us in circles, waiting for the others to come back with proof of your lies so she could kill you now. But we are now heading back to the village. For real."

[Rhona Hall]

"Maybe she would rather see me dead rather than admit something..." Rhona would eye the woman accusingly. She was growing tired of that nonsense quick.

[Sir Galahad]

Jovan raised an eyebrow?

"Oh? What do you mean?"

[Rhona Hall]

Rhona took his question frankly saying too much right now could cost her a lot. "Pay me no mind I am just got headed. Namely the fact that I hadn't seen anything that remotely looked like a trap on my way here might simply have come to dumb luck or she forgot to put traps out." She shrugged. "I am just... Uncomfortable and irritated and almost said something I shouldn't have."

[Sir Galahad]

He chuckled.

"I honestly hope you didn't run into any traps out of luck. Cause if it was because they were forgotten, then it wasn't her but rather the men she told to set them, that didn't do it, and if that be the case, they will receive harsher punishment than you even if you are discovered to be a threat to my people."

With that, Jovan would be smiling once again.

"Ah, here we are. Welcome, to my home."

He would say as the group exited the deep brush of the forest into a more open forest area. It looked far less primitive than one would suspect. All the housing was in the trees with ropes and ladders leading up to them. On the ground there seem to be training fields/playgrounds for warriors in training and children playing war games and fighting with stick weapons. There appeared to be a few armed guards on the ground levels. However, in the trees she would see were the true guards as most in tactical sentry positions leaving very little in way of blind spots, all armed with spears, bows, and arrows. All wearing fearsome war paint as well. All in all. The place look just as beautiful as it did dangerous.

[Rhona Hall]

Without saying much she would view the area and be quite enchanted. She was hardly given much time to appreciate it as she was being ushered through with Spears and blades at her back.

[Sir Galahad]

Lelani would stop the group's progression and turn to Rhona and say something.

"She said to wait."

Jovan offered helpfully as Lelani climbed up one of the ropes with impressive speed, then she would run along the branches with impressive dexterity. It would be enough to dazzle most on lookers with how much grace she had despite being so high up. She would then disappear into one of the tree huts!

[Rhona Hall]

Rhona would let out a Strong breath of frustration. Rhona also would look away and wouldn't see her acrobatics across the branch. Not impressed and not pleased.

She more so started to think about what would happen if she was found a witch. A mental plan started to formulate and she'd hope it wasn't going to happen.

"You saw me fighting that cat... Do you believe I am a witch?" She would ask Jovan

[Sir Galahad]

Jovan would chuckle.

"No. However, if you were a witch you'd be pretty bad at it if you couldn't trick a few villagers into believing you were helpless. Who knows, maybe you are a witch and you controlled that beast to attack you knowing we were right there to help you? A risk but one that paid off. So, anything is possible."

Then he would give her one of his sly smiles.

"But I don't believe that. You're too beautiful to be some craven old witch."

[Rhona Hall]

"I appreciate that." She gave a more relaxed smile Genuinely appreciative and she calmed a bit.

[Sir Galahad]

It was then that Lelani would pop her head out of the hut she had entered and waved to Jovan.

"Alright, looks like it's time for you to meet the elders. Follow me."

With that Jovan would proceed up a rope ladder and follow the same path that Lelani had, but he would do so more slowly so that Rhona could follow as well.

[Rhona Hall]

As rhona would value strength over dexterity the mountain girl had this covered no problem. Maybe it was more bulky than it was graceful none the less she was fine.

She gripped the ropes with both hands and hoisted herself up with just that and the thin branches hardly phased her she kept up with Jovan and was grateful for his consideration.
