Chapter 238: Choices Part 4

"Eeep!"

Before they even had a chance to settle, a cry rang out over the trees, startling everyone but Evanora.

"What was that…" Jagu casually questioned while checking the atmosphere for any presence.

"Sounds like a woman in fear," Aron cautiously glanced to the direction of the cry as Jin added casually.

"Rose."

"Already checking."

Without needing instruction Rose sent out her scouter with a wave of her hand while Jin and Jagu both took on defensive stances, ready for anything that came their way.

Aron, on the other hand, appeared considerably more at ease; he didn't even broaden his senses. He was certain that no matter what the circumstance at hand was, he could handle it.

'My instincts are telling me it's nothing serious. Let's confirm.'

Aron's beastlike nature blended with him the more he contemplated his wills. Unfortunately, he wasn't the sort to put his safety in the hands of instinct alone.
