As usual, when facing the option to back down or move forward, Uriel decided to continue on his way. He wasn't the same scaredy student that would let himself be bullied or allow people to look him over their shoulder anymore, and he also wasn't one to back down from a challenge.
If anything, he was thrilled to explore the wetlands, but he was no adrenaline junkie either. He knew full well the dangers of the swamp were real and a single mistep could be the end of not just him, but of his friends who relied on him too.
However, he wasn't interested in studying cryptids like Luna. Instead, he hoped to stumble upon a POI, an archaeological site of the sorts or a dungeon. Of course he wouldn't explore it right away and would most likely revisit the place after bringing back the parts Medusa needed to fix the engine, but he still kept his eyes peeled to not miss anything along the way.
