"We could try to find the buildings again."

"Yeah," he agrees. "Might take a while to get back there, though. Since we're so far away."

(It's a shame Tyler isn't here.)

"Yes, it might. Or the geography could suddenly adjust itself, as it's been known to."

Shrug. "Should we start going then or were you planning on waiting a bit, or…?"

She stands up. "Let's go."

He gets up too! "Do you remember what direction it was?"

"That way, I think?"

"Prrrobably?" he says, looking that way.

It has quite a lot of trees. Since the lake has lots of trees around it. It's not like they can see the buildings from where they are, unfortunately.

He shrugs and sets off that way anyway.

Walking walking.

They can do this for a while. Nothing decides to interrupt them, although there are a few animals in her range.

That's fine, as long as they don't get too close.

And after another fifteen minutes or so, a huge rock will block their path!

Presumably they wish to go around it. But do they go around it to the left or to the right?

Left, of course. Silly question.

Well, they'll start going around the huge rock in that case, over to the left.

And when they're about halfway around, Blue will briefly frown, look over to his right, but continue walking.

"Did you hear something?"

"Slight bump, over to the right?" he says.

Now that he mentions it, she can probably detect a couple extra life-forms that way.

"Didn't hear it, but yeah. There's something there."

So he keeps walking around the rock, unless Elleira stops him…

They can keep going.

So he continues around the rock! It is a rather big rock.

She might notice that the other life-forms are moving rather quickly. Also around the rock. Currently towards them, and it seems like one might be chasing the other.

"We've got company incoming. Potentially unfriendly."

So Blue leans out from the rock to get a better view—

And it seems Thario has made a reappearance! And is now running away from the rock. And is trying to get very far away from—

A copy of himself? Who seems rather intent on catching up with him.

The copy does not seem to have a keriol.

Huh. Maybe they should help him, or something.
