So their charm isn't lost on Nic either, huh? Yeah, Worick feels that- fat little guys don't seem to be hurting anything just chowing down on those leaves... Now, when they sprout fangs or spew poison at them, then that'll be another story, but for now he's willing to give them the benefit of, you know, not shooting them out of the trees for a quick anatomy lesson.

What he does instead is hum at Nic's question and take another good look around, much more willing to give his surroundings his full attention now that he knows he can do so without getting his head knocked off of his shoulders. ...Not that his concentration is really coming up with much. Nothing but unfamiliar trees, more of those bugs, and a handful of equally strange looking birds...

Huh, and what looks like a path, albeit one that's seen better days as far as upkeep is concerned. Kneeling to get a better look seems to help the decision making process along, though:

"Well... I don't know about you, but I'm not exactly in the mood for a wilderness hike..." Or dressed for one, but like hell he's gonna give Nic the opening to call him out on that at the moment, "so why don't we see where this goes? We can always double back if it dies out or gets us nowhere, right?"
