Harland had not noticed he was being watched, and assumed himself to be fully alone. His ears fell a little, he paced slightly in place, but none of this helped ease his mind. This was a troubled land, not at all what he had heard of at first. "I wonder how long this place was like..." he droned off before changing his wording mid-sentence, "was so dark." He shook his head, lifting his ears a little. "Darkness can only last so long. I have to search for the light, or be it should it not exist." His gaze locked upon the colourful flowers. "Things won't get better unless us animals act, act to improve it, act to remove all traces of darkness." It had been a while since Harland had mumbled to himself, but it felt good to speak and have none judge your words - not that he knew his words were being listened to the entire time.

Raul, on the other hand, was keeping himself under the cover of forest branches, attempting to find a spot to nestle in and rest for a short while. As long as the sun was out, he would stick under the branches of the trees. It was beautiful, but dangerous all the same. He much preferred the cool air that night would eventually offer. Thankfully, the forest offered plenty of shade for him to nest within.

"I'm no orca but we can play tag. Or do you wish to awake?" Flare said.

"Very well. Close your eyes." Flare said.

"It will hold him for a week but we will have to renew the chains to ensure he is there until your friends return." Crystal said.

"I am Crystal. And you need to learn to mind your business." Crystal said as she started to gather her supplys.

"Sayan get up. We need to go to the beach." Rose said.

Raul's ear flicked sharply upon being spoken to. The individual was speaking so quickly, so excitedly, it almost reminded him of how Harland had spoken to him when they first met. "I'm not sure about dangerous, but I'm at least physically strong," Raul began. He tilted his head a little as he shifted subjects. "And you would be?" She had not given her name, likely excited about meeting a new person.

"You hardly need worry about that. I much prefer the environment of this forest. The trees give me solace from the sun and there's plenty to eat around here," explained Raul in return, almost seeming to be lost in his own thoughts for a moment. "If there's anyone you should explain that to, that would be my friend. He's quite an adventurer and will likely seek distant territories in hopes that some unknown knowledge can be found there." Raul smiled, though, for Harland's curiosity was charming to him.
