Rorthik's smile grew wider following Aron's acceptance and he quickly beckoned him over, hurriedly removing the overgrowth of vine like plants that blocked the entrance.
"Please enter," Rorthik eagerly offered but Aron only walked forward and stopped right where Rorthik was standing. "You can go first," Aron replied, although doing so in a casual tone.
Rorthik could now clearly see that Aron was incredibly cautious, so he could only follow along so as not to cause a rift between them. Rorthik was risking a lot by bringing Aron into his settlement, after all, if a fight were to spark between the two, he would suffer the most loses, and even then, there was no guarantee he could win.
So, without saying anything in opposition, Rorthik lead the way while Aron followed behind at a safe distance, observing the surroundings. The inside of the tree was unlike anything he had seen.
