OOM All Skate Skellig Dream Magic Weirdness -Part Seven

It turns out that 'guarding the lair' involves more than just staying in one place. Kreyu has a goal today of scouting outside their borders, looking for possible trouble.

Given that Skellig can't speak the local language, yet, they're not trying to pass as locals. Skellig is just wearing a kilt as they stalk through the forest.

The wilderness is truly wild here, only barely touched by humans. Beasts of all kinds live in these woods, wolves, deer, boars, birds, rabbits, and more.

Skellig isn't entirely certain exactly what 'type' of trouble they are scouting and searching for, but he absolutely was not going to allow her to go adventuring through the wilderness beyond her (their?) territory on her own. His default nature is not that of a hunter, but the owl instinct does creep in around the edges as they walk through the forest, his eyes and ears working overtime to scan their surroundings.

(This is raw wilderness, something that he can appreciate. There are no scars upon the landscape, no blemishes from a human hand. No overgrown cities tearing apart the landscape, even if this version of his soul cannot remember such.)

His voice is soft, only loud enough for her to hear when he speaks.

"If you would like to hunt at some point, I would not mind it. Though preferably not any birds," he adds.
