[Travelling like this is sort of nice. Sure, it's not as nice as living in the castle in comfort without having to worry about managing supplies and all that, but it's nostalgic and Alaric finds he can't really hate it. He spent a lot of time traveling on his own, and there's something nice about having Blanche by his side now.
So even though the path they're traversing through the woods isn't easy, and Blanche herself needs to be reminded to rest, it's not bad at all. Not quite as great as their usual routines in the castle, but certainly not as bad as it could be.
Something's different today, though. There should be plenty of sounds in the forest, and yet it's unnaturally still.]
It isn't. Something's wrong.
[It's a clear day, so it seems unlikely there's going to be a massive storm or something that would be causing this sort of reaction from the wildlife, so it's something else. Alaric has his sword drawn already.]
Stay close and keep your eyes open.
[Something's about to happen, he's just not sure what.]
