The hatch suddenly released with a controlled hiss, as Remedy stepped out first. Adam followed, boots landing on damp ground just as the vessel sank silently back into the river.
He scanned the surroundings and noticed they were in a forest.
From one forest base to the next, I guess.
"You really love forests," he said evenly.
Remedy looked at him, confused for half a second before understanding.
"Oh. No. This isn't a wild zone."
He paused. "It isn't?"
"No it's not, It's part of the estate."
Adam let that settle, as he spread his senses in the next moment but sensed no monster signatures within his sensing range plus he also noticed a paved path beneath the foliage.
Who grows a forest inside an estate?
He did not voice it. Instead, he followed her along the paved path. The trees were placed with intention. Even the spacing suggested design rather than chance.
They were already in Tristan and that implied something larger.
