Whatever had happened, Alys had tried spending the rest of that day and night trying to wrap her mind around it. Stepping out from the cover of the tree to watch the Dresmondi who had a full on storm brewing in the middle of day. While her and Grant had slipped away, she was still struggling with the pull she had felt that had never been there before. What in the world was going on? She constantly rubbed at the center of her chest as if she'd find a string attached to her and she could cut it.
Any questions that might have been brought up by her partner, was met with an 'I don't know' or a head shake. Because it was the truth. And eventually, knowing Grant, would lead to her asking him to drop it for the night. She'd summon a fearsome beast of darkness, something that'd slip through the dark shadows unseen that would keep watch over them while they took turns getting sleep. Setting up next to a small stream that would serve them as a source of food, drinking water (after properly cleaned by a small drop of potion Alys had brought), and to wash up from their long travel days.
But once the sun had broken the horizon, Alys wanted to know more. They had come for information... and if they only lingered outside of making contact with anyone... they'd come back empty handed. These Dresmondi didn't try and fight them on the spot, they had used their larger numbered group and fear as a tactic to try and scare them off. What had truly startled Alys was her reaction to the one who got closest to them. The one with the bright eyes and tuft of silver in the front of his hair. The image of him was burned into her mind. "I think we should make contact with those we saw yesterday. Hopefully not startling them." She spoke softly to Grant as she was finishing packing, her curls still damp was nice in the early morning heat that was already settling in. The mountains long left that kept the temperature cool for the Nevermerans.
Her dark eyes looked towards Grant then, securing her pack with the small items that had been unpacked for the night.

To try and streamline this thread a bit, since there are a lot of moving parts, here are some ground rules:
- This thread is for the following characters (though some of the Black Claw members can chose to not enter the thread if they feel their characters might be doing something else): Grant Delaney , Ermir , @kezia , Luka , Zevran , and the lurking mist of @drystan .
- We are going to go ahead and put the "24 hour skip" into place on this thread. Meaning we will start with a posting order, but once it's your turn, if you don't respond IC within 24 hours, the next person in the order will be up to post.
- The thread will start off in two different places: Alys & Grant together at their makeshift camp before they move to track The Black Claw members, with Drystan lingering somewhere near/with them (Leaving that up to your Mersea!). The Black Claw members in their camp where they had set up for the night.
- Posting order will be as follows for now: Alys, Grant, Drystan, Zevran, Ermir, Kezia, and then Luka
- If needed, please utilize our Discord to communicate, preferably the Plot-chatter channel as not everyone tagged has access to the Dresmond plotting channel. Thanks ya'll!
