he listened to her telling him of the tale for this forest, sounded about like any other tale. Though he had his own reasons to be weary of such tall tales and to not shrug all of them off. "are you sure it's just a tale?" He seemed to question her, like he had crossed blades with a beast of myth and legend before. This was a world where the gods walked among the mortals so it wasn't that odd to think there were some beasts in the dark..

He made a slight click noise before the horse seemed to walk a few paces faster ten before so he got his distance back, though he also wanted to have enough room if he needed it... his weapon was a poor choice at close range that was certain. Something did seem off about this forest. Granted the beast of her tale might not be what lurked here.. the tale might still have some form of truth to it. He did finally speak again to explain why he questioned her. "Some tales are not just tales.. travel enough you will find some that are very much true and that's when you wished you had listened to such warnings." He never spoke of what tale he had encountered or what the beast was he had lived through but he probably wouldn't tell her either.

They needed to hurry then while they had sunlight if they were to reach the mountains edge to check for caves. Though they were rather close to the forest still it might not be safe there if something lurked in the darkness of the woods. "I'd advise picking up the pace unless you wish to test that tale of yours" He said to her noticing she was falling behind a little, sure he had threatened to leave her behind.. but he couldn't just do that it went against his nature. Even if he wasn't the nicest person on the planet.
