"What made you decide on this place? Aren't we a bit too much in the open?"
Several months in the past, Fen wouldn't find this to be a problematic thing. While the forest in general was gone, it's burn-out remains still provided quite a lot of cover from anyone on the same level as them. What's more, it was nearly impossible to covertly approach them in a manner timely enough to hear anything from what they would talk about.
But with himself being the greatest example, Fen was long past the point where he would look out for dangers only at or below his eyesight level. Approaching this place on his own wings, anyone attempting to hide in here would be given to him on an open platter. That was one of the reasons why Firo's sudden appearance failed to scare the young mercenary even a tiny bit.
