From his drakes report, the sociologist was extremely glad that their were no terrifyingly, viscous mountain guardians in their path. Fighting/facing off against anyone of them up here up here, where they have the home advantage and all the incentive to brutalize any would be trespasser, would be an unequivicol nightmare at best. 'Reshirim forbid that they cross the group's path, or we attract their attention or ire in any probably form!' Ventus thought, shuddering at the brief yet vivid image of a Tyranatar bringing down the entire mountain side upon them all....

Less pleased was he when he finally caught a glimpse of Almanac scuttering about the Skull Ruins like tiny white roaches and picking it clean, but he turned his attention away from them for the time being. Getting wrathful about them now would be pointless, as it was too late for him or anyone else to investigate their activities their, and a distraction that could prove costly in the long wrong. 'Keep the mind clear for the upcoming treck, as one moment's lapse in thought could prove severe for us all....'

What bring you up here to share in the company of my group? "
