Video || Both Courts;
Gracious, one might almost believe that we were playing hide-and-seek.
[ Felix drawls. The words are carefully picked with a leisured scorn, but they don’t do much to hide his growing flush ... or the twigs and leaves tangled in his hair. A fat green caterpillar inches its way across a shoulder, and something chitters from out view.
The heavy trees of La Llorona droop dark over the little path behind him, their branches like so many grasping fingers. He can't be very far into the forest, but the way is overgrown, and the trail plainly disused.
As far as Felix is concerned, it’s still the ninth month, and he’s still traveling to the Station with a troll and a god in tow. ]
As my erstwhile traveling companions appear to have taken the maps, supplies, and horses along upon their game, I find myself tasked with troubling assistance from any amongst you with more familiar with —
[ A yelp, and the locket drops. A few moments later, a visibly more harried-looking Felix scowls back into view, his eyes shot wide. An enormous, hairy leg twitches feebly from the edge of the frame, trailing a hazy line of green smoke. ]
— The forest, and its bug problems.

[ Not that Sif would call herself familiar with either the forest or the bug problem but she does have a flying horse.
Even if Felix rather seems like the sort of man that she would be wanting to push off that horse after about three seconds.
Still, being annoying is not an offence punishable by getting eaten by giant bugs. ]
Video
[ The words are a touch clipped, some of their swagger lost to the enormous fucking spider on its back behind him. ]
Out of here.
[ Helpful, Felix. So helpful. ]
Video
Look, going out to battle giant spiders for fun makes perfect sense to an Asgardian. ]
And "here" is...?
[ Because no, seeing some random trees is not actually enough for her to know where he is, if he wants her to come pick him up. It might not even make sense for her to try it, since that could possibly take days depending on where those random trees happen to be growing. ]

It takes him a second to register the face, another few to believe it.]
Felix?
Video
[ He snaps. Felix still isn't entirely certain how they managed to take off without his notice -- he's no sort of heavy sleeper -- but he's in too foul a mood right now to question that.
Or why there's a winter wind through the trees, and shed leaves in some thickets.
Look, critical thinking isn't always his strong suit. ]
Re: Video
Look, despite how mad he is, does he notice the whole, you know, sitting in a "comfy" stone room at the castle? Because yeah. That's where he is right now.
He looks very concerned! Does that win him points?]
What happened? Where'd'ja go, mon?

[Don't take it personally that he hadn't realized you'd left. He's been busy and more often away from Caer Scima than not.]

[ He's spent enough of his snarl on Sif and Vol'jin to calm a little now. Felix just sounds a bit deflated. He nudges the charred spider with a toe, grimacing as it twitches into a new spasm. ]
Though saints if I can work out how they managed it.
[ it's cool bruh he hasn't realized that either ]

Felix runs his fingers through his hair, visibly attempting to smooth his expression back into impassiveness. It only sort of succeeds. ]
Fine, thank you -- merely quite lost.
[ A frown to the side, and he slips his gloves back on. ]
And rather hoping there aren't more of those.

Say -- that's what-was-his-name Felix's voice, isn't it - been some time! He looks into the locket with an amount of eagerness, which... shifts to a back edge. That looks lost...]
Man... What woods are those?
-- Uhh - there's no way that's near Caer Glaem...!
[Or is there? Correct him if he's wrong! But, well, Felix is of the Unseelie court, and those do not look like Seelie woods, and if they did, heck, Toboe would ask the other wolves if they might keep their senses alert for the fellow.]
Video.
Whatever hope there was is dashed quite abruptly, however, when Toboe makes his deduction. Right. Seelie. ]
Rather closer to Caer Scima, I believe.
[ He sounds tired. ]
They call it La Llorona -- powers only know whether I'm pronouncing that correctly.
Video.
Ugh, rats... [A little light, floating as much as a short sigh can be - it can afford not to be urgent-urgent, from the looks of it; tired, Felix may sound, but pained would be a more serious matter! His voice practically mumbles along from there, though; doesn't look like it'll do anything now and prob'ly best not to go raising an alarm, still; half imagining himself in those woods...]
If you were somewhere close these woods I was gonna ask my new wolf friends if they could keep an eye out for you and help you get out! Or if they could ask some friends, but uh - that sucks, I'm sorry...
Err -- [On that prior assumption - sharpens posture, and brightness of tone, if tentatively!] you're not in any trouble out there! Right? -- Other than the being lost...!
[But of a jump forth from that previous hushing of tone but alas.]

If you can last til moonrise, I can come and bring you to safety - I think I know where you are - you do not seem too far down the path.

[ That -- at least -- catches Felix's attention. He can't for the life of him remember which place the...knight, or whoever it had been, had declared sacred. If it's this forest, well, that's one sort of horror. If two such groves exist, that's a thornier problem entirely.
this is what happens when you don't read local travel advisories]You seem well-familiar with the place.
no subject
The willows, especially, have black hearts. Closer to Lady Ariadne's demense it is safer, and if you stay on the path you should be safe enough, I think.
More familiar than I might like, perhaps! You are in La Llorna, unless I miss my guess - but that area of the forest... I think you are not far from the forest edge, and things there are still a little tame.

[ He nods, in acknowledgment. He's no less pleased to see her -- but difficulties of time and place present themselves to the effect of more understated enthusiasm. Felix shivers, quirking a brow to her. ]

I fear little help we will be from a distance. The lockets allow for communication, but to lead you out of your plight... I think you need something different.
