Drip! Arad looked around, seeing Aella pouring water into the pot above the flames. The night looked peaceful, and the elves weren't lazing around but helping cook dinner.
^It's too calm. I thought traveling was dangerous,^ Arad stood walking around the camp, smelling the clean air.
HISSS! The cobra slithered beside him. ~Is something the matter?~
"No, I just wanted to take a walk in the forest." He walked past the cobra into the trees, looking around with a smile.
^The trees here are bigger than back in Alina. Do you think this forest is older?^
{It looks like that, ancient, I would say,} Mom said, {Look around closely, what do you see?}
Arad approached one of the trees, touching the trunk, and looked at the bark. ^I can see faint traces of magic on the trees, don't tell me this is another genius loci.^
