@KnightRolePlayer The sound would be tough to follow through Mamori's thick forest, but the longer the sounds followed, the more obvious the changes in the forest would be. The forest became more fertile, and creatures spotted would soon end up appearing as rare species, and sometimes even fantastical, like small, winged lizards, and the odd whisp or fae creature. Plants began to show hints of bioluminescence and grew on foreign shapes and colours of abnormal occurrence. It was clear something of a much, much stronger magical force than mamori, resided here.

@FrostyTheHuntsman @Times_Strange "Wait!" Dirk called after the two. "You're scaring them off!" He called out more loudly, approaching them as he began to sprint. "Wait!"

@KnightRolePlayer The glowstick trail would extend for quite a ways, through the winding stone-embedded path. Near the end, under a cloud of rising mist, an opening would present itself, with the two new characters in this story some ten feet beyond.

@Times_Strange The dog attentively stood with clear intent to wait for his master, and she arrived upon the edge oc the clearing not three misty breaths after. Frosty's tube and metallic contraption were held low before her as she walked through the trail of mist, as communicated to be proper by her companion. Her eyes never widened, but they may as well have locked themselves open by the time her full form emerged. The blue irises of those eyes began to rotate too, a sign of shifting focus for clarity in her view of the target. Clockwise at first, and then counter, before the former to a greater degree. Across the distance, the eye contact may not have been perfect, but her's aligned to the kitsune's perfectly. "Neat." Clearly appropriate word for when you discover a life form not covered in your bestiary. "Whether you speak English, grok, or have no language at all, you appear too human to feast upon." A smile, just prominent enough to be understood as a signal of pleasantness, felt allowed now, as she continued. "Any knowledge of your existence thus far has not given strife to my clan, but nonetheless, I was guided by divine purpose to sight you, and compelled to follow." Those tails were surely valuable on the market, as well as those ears of hers, but Frosty had no reason to believe that was why she ought to be here, at the very moment, on this day. The canine remain stern in posture despite a clear lack of aggression. It could have been subconscious apprehension causing his eyes to lock upon her so rigidly. Much in the same way foxes evolved to identify the beasts that hunted them, maybe his ancestors were bred to sense distrust towards such manner of distant cousins in the geneological tree. Or perhaps what he saw was an unnatural mix of body features, and they stood atop runes atop a boulder. All he communicated to Frosty was that he had reason to be attentive. Dogs. Go figure.
