Suirrel is somewhat distracted by his memories of when he visited Rerm for the last time.
His visit started off bad, but he left the inhabitants happy when he left. He gave them something similair to alcohol, not too strong, but enough to make them grin a lot...
Halfway he notices he's falling behind the group (Ranel and Aspen).
He doesn't mind, in fact he thinks it's best. This way he can enjoy the scenery a bit more.
Then suddenly Suirrel senses something. The air pressure seems to have changed a little bit.
He looks around, but sees nothing. He starts to sense that something is near him, but he does not know what.
He breaks off of the group -so not to endager them from whatever it might be that is near him- and walks into the dark forest closeby. All sounds from inside the forest cannot reach the outside world or vice versa.
"It's so quiet here..." Suirrel whispers to himself, while still aware of something following him.
