(FOC) Catching Up

    Once through the Gate, the path wasn’t as easy to discern yet which way they may have went. It’s balmy and generally pleasant in the Hedge right now. And at the moment, there didn’t seem to be anyone in sight. The path was hard and packed rock. There may be a small clue around somewhere.

    It's really too bad the others didn't leave a marking if they knew there were two that would follow. The Hedge was a difficult place as it was. They couldn't hear or see anything familiar yet, but hopefully Gregory and Morgan ( Origins ) get on track very soon.

    Hunching over, the man appears in his forties if not older. His hair is disheveled, his expression bizarre between glee or malice. His frame is thin and clothes ragged or stained, smelling worn and unwashed.

    His skin is gray like stone and his features more exaggerated, his eyes more set apart. Wings curl around his shoulders, unusable but expressive, as is his short tail. Horns adorn his brow and curl along the contour of his skull. He is what many would describe to be a gargoyle.

    Gregory lingers a moment, taking in the Hedge from this side of the gate. After determining there are no threats about he glances to Morgan. "Hmm, what be that you say?" he asks, uncertain if he heard her rightly. Their conversation does not keep him from dropping low to the ground and creeping on all fours to scour the dirt for signs of travel. The rock-laid path makes it difficult but there are signs that may mark a trail of movement to follow Ramona, Lynn, Coco, and Milo.

    Morgan's head quickly snaps about as soon as they enter the Hedge, looking for anything threatening. Finding nothing, she tilts her head quizzically at Gregory when she turns back to him. He hadn't heard her? Or he hadn't understood her was more likely.

    She rubbed the back of her head as she spoke, "Eh-heh sorry. I ah-asked about heh-how norman-dood zzzaid Mrs Rosemary twas not forced along. J-just wonder what ye thought-t-t on sssss-circumstances...Um, Also, Imma n-not good-great at tracking. Cognitiive thing. W-want me to try and heh-help ye with the tracking stuff instead?"

    Morgan scans the ground with her eyes as she asks Gregory this.

    ooc: If Gregory agrees, all Morgan's future tracking rolls will be teamwork with Gregory as the primary actor.

    "Oh," says Gregory, nodding. "That indeed be a strange thing. But then perhaps they tricked her, or perhaps they took something of hers, or threatened someone she knew. Any number of reasons that she might join them without truly wishing to," agrees the gray Gargoyle. "Or perhaps a worse reason than we can know, but no less reason that we should follow."

    At Morgan's offer, Gregory stops and nods his understanding. "That be fine, let me know should any tracks you find."

    Gregory accepts.

    Morgan nods her head and hums along as Gregory gives his possibilities. She hadn't even spotted anything that her fellow Courtier had not already noticed. She probably saw less. As for Mrs Rosemary, Morgan could only sigh in defeat as she despondently squeaks out: "Yeeeah, f-figure tis gonna be-be bad ano-and not friend-no-time-wait-emergency...She c-could'a called whilst driving-riding if that." She snorts with a shake of her head as she finishes speaking on that.

    She then gives Gregory a smile and nods her head, "Ya-ya-yuppers. I'll do me best to not be a pest, heh-heh."

    The raccoon's senses don't pick up any trail, so she keeps quiet until she does notice something.

    Roll fail, Gregory gets no bonus on his next roll.

    "Not a pest at all, Morgan. You be right enough to ask that mundie what he knew. And what we have gleamed from him may well be worth the effort," remarks Gregory matter-of-factly as he inspects the clues that Morgan misses. There is no more that needs to be said between them until they have made more progress along the trail. Though her matter of speech is odd, Gregory does not seem bothered by the impediment or the self-pity, as he is all to familiar with both oddities.

    Morgan is nods and follows Gregory's lead in silence. Her senses are always over clocking in the Hedge, wary of predators. It might be why she is having difficulty focusing on the tracking tricks. Predators track, prey fled. Morgan was quite certain she was the latter.

    She pointed out some footprints that looked like they might have been from their comrades. She was pretty sure it wasn't from any hobs. Hob footwear (or lack of) tended to leave vastly different tracks from shoes bought in norman stores.

    Gregory's gaze follows Morgan's, though perhaps his observation is not as thorough as hers. Still, he can only concur his agreement in a nod as they move further down whatever trail they though they've found. But they still lacked enough clues to be sure.

    "Anything else?" he asks in a soft murmer, his eyes swiveling in his skull.

    Morgan grins as she rapidly nods her head, pointing out more signs of their fellows having passed by. In this case, more shoe prints. Though she was unable to read which way the signs indicated they others had gone.

    Morgan's observations really are assisting the Gargoyle as they use their combined senses to recreate the path their comrades had taken while traversing the Hedge. They are lucky as any failure might leave them lost on another trod, or worse, deep within the Thorns where they may lose even more of themselves. They progress nonetheless.
