Running in the wilderness was so hard 'cause there were leaves everywhere and tree branches everywhere. He had to be dodging while running. And it wasn't easy for the girls too, so they couldn't easily catch up to him.
He was still running when he thought of this,
'Did I fully accomplish the quest? I was able to come out and glance at them for more than a minute, but they sighted me. Did I accomplish the quest?'.
This was something that was making him anxious. You know, after all the stress of getting to the river, coming out of his hiding place, and now, running not to get caught. It would then happen to be that he didn't complete the quest 'cause the females sighted him and some were chasing after him.
..That would be really bad.
He was still running, and they were chasing after him...then suddenly, they stopped, they knew they couldn't catch up to him. They shouldn't waste their time. Do they want to chase him until he comes out of this forest? They were f**king naked.
