[enkidoh]

I am.

[Enkidu digs their toes further into the mud, humming softly. They do not feel anything. No vibrations, no energy, nothing. But it represents a certain sort of nostalgia.]

And so are you.

[They blink. Oh yes, the petalwolves.]

Yes, we should seek them out. [They start to move again, slowly pulling their feet out of the mud.] Yet I do not feel like slaying them because humans think they are beautiful.

[escardos]

Ah, I'm so glad you feel the same way!

[ flat smiles when enkidu says that, even letting out a sigh of relief as he approaches them. ]

You know, if they're so pretty, I don't really understand why people would want to take them. It's kind of like plucking a flower, don't you think? The ground is what makes it pretty and alive, and if you take it, it dies. Really, I just took up the mission because I really wanted to see them.

[enkidoh]

Humans have a tendency to behave that way. They think themselves above nature because. Hmm...yet they cannot think they can own nature.

[Enkidu smiles as well.]

It is a good thing when two beings think alike.

Well, you are wrong and right. The ground can make plants die as well. If it doesn't receive enough water, for instance. And a plucked flower can live after it has been taken away from the ground. Just take care of it.

[They yawn briefly.]

Perhaps we can look out for footprints.

[escardos]

Ah, that's right! It's all a cycle in the end, whether you're in the ground, on the pavement, or even in the sky. Everyone is an important part of it, from the moment they live till the moment they die.

[ flat yawns after enkidu, probably for the same reason. having been practicing magic as of late without a bond has tired him out quite a bit--however, he won't say no to this little mission. ]

Sounds like a good idea! I really do hope there are some nearby-- [ and when he sees some on the mud, flat points to them ] Ah, how about those? Do you think those are recent?

[enkidoh]

In a way, yes. One cannot exist without the other. Yet, humanity should be able to show more kindness to nature.

[It is good to see the young master again and it is good to know he has been well after all that has happened during the mist.]

Normally I would be able to sense them. [Enkidu murmurs the words a little, sounding a little melancholic. But yes, it is better to focus on footprints and to all that lies ahead.

When they see Flat yawning they start to yawn again as well.]

Ah.

[The footprint.

Enkidu moves to crouch down so they can watch the footprint up close. They touch it briefly. It isn't entirely fresh but it also doesn't belong to an animal that is very far away either.]

Let us follow the trail they've left behind.

[escardos]

I would too...it's a little difficult without my Magecraft.

[ but the way that enkidu works seems to impress flat, who watches them from above with an interested expression on his face. ]

You seem to be good without it, though. [ he laughs ] I'll follow you!

[enkidoh]

But you have learned other magecraft in return, not?

[They crawl forward, not really bothered with the stains that might appear on their clothes.]

I feel better here. [And it is true, they do. Truly, there are so many fantastic things about nature.

Slowly they guide Flat further into the forest, following the tracks the petalwolves have left behind. Really, they have always been better at detecting any sort of presences but just like all their other abilities, its gone.]

We are close to. Look. [They point at something that definitely looks like a fresh turd.] They might have gone for that open spot in the distance.

[escardos]

Oh, you're right!

[ flat says this with an excited tone, but trying very hard to keep himself hushed as they get closer and closer to the petalwolves in question. ]

This is way different than London. But not in a bad way.

[ he looks at enkidu, curious ]

Have you ever been in a city before coming here?
