Alexander is unable to tell just how far wherever the smoke is coming from but does notice that the path has been trampled under heavy boots, but that's all he can tell. Mhairi, however, manages to make out some more of the muttering coming from nearby; a male voice grumbling. She does catch the words "invading scum", and "that'll learn 'em, causing me trouble," drifting over the Hedge. Finally, as Thomas invokes his Contract of Dreams, specifically the initial clause, and gets the impression that a hollow is around this part of the Hedge.

[Mhairi Ankaa]

Brow furrowing at the words the wind carried to her, Mhairi frowns, then whispers to the others.

"Someone's invaded something. I think they mean us. With the Park." bitten lip. "They put the fur-whatever into the cotton candy to...do something? Make us move on, or something. I don't know." She finishes lamely.

Fell-flames watching what the others have been up to as the Autumn Queen took a moment to listen.

"Anything else? Or should we...?" she head jerks in the direction of the noise.

[Thomas Land]

The distance in Thomas's eyes slowly fades as the others give their reports.

Soon, he adds his own whisper to the mix: "That 'sugar' substance isn't hair or fur, it's a husk of some sort. And there's a hollow, just around the bend." His normally uncertain voice is shored up with a Wyrd-borne certainty that's hard to miss.

At Alex's words, the Mole-Man peers down at the boot print, wracking his brain for inhabitants of the Hedge that could fit the bill. Once again falling back on his copious research on these matters. After all, what good is knowledge if it can't be put to use?

Invaded? Did the park impede on something was already existing? From the Wisps whispers, it kinda sounded that way. But why sink as low as to sabotage the park? Sure, it was effective, but also a dick move. And anyways, the park was outside the Hedge, and it wasn’t like they opened a gate and pushed humans through it for shit and giggles.

She looks to Alex then looks at the ground. Quickly racking her brain while taking in the sheer size of them. Hedge creatures really wasn’t her forte, but she still tried.

Wide and shocked eyes look to the mole, a husk?! She ingested a husk?! What the fuck was in the husk?! This wasn’t sitting well with the Nix and a hand gently touches her stomach, almost as if expecting something to move or shoot out of it. Like in a cheap horror movie.

But nerveless, she nods, eager to see who was responsible for this and what the hell was in the husk.

[Forn Clakes]

As Thomas racked his memory, no-one stood out with wearing the type or size of boots that Alex had told them. The wind shifted direction, bringing the smell of soup and more muttering for everyone to hear.

"All these years and left alone, Bogof was, but no. That bloody dragon and that stoopid market....Well, gone now and good riddance! Bogof live in peace."

[Mhairi Ankaa]

Mhairi's brow arches, A Hollow? The Wisp nods, "Let's go knock." whispering under the mutterings of whoever was just around the bend.

With another nod, Mhairi moves forward, there was only so much they could do standing around here, with the news of the husk, the words and the large boot print, Mhairi thought they'd gathered all they could, gaining some idea of what was going on, and what they could reasonably expect from the voice the wind carried.

[Thomas Land]

It seems there is nothing left to do but advance, which Thomas does, following in the footsteps of Mhairi and Alex.

But the Mole-Man is no hero. And so he does his best to move quietly and avoid notice, trying to hide in the shadow of the Summer Darkling who walks in front of him. Somehow seeming even smaller than he normally would.

[Seraphina]

She pauses as she hears the muttering. Bogof? And mention of the Dragon, did they have a common enemy? Well, a dead one, but still, might be something they could use.

When Mhairi whispers, the Treasured nods, it’s what they came here for. Answers, and standing around wasn’t getting them.

So she follows suit, wondering who, or what, belongs to the muttering.

When Alex mentions playing nice, she nods again. It made sense. Play nice until they knew what they were dealing with. Maybe this was a simple misunderstanding and they could work it out easily. If not, she was going to kicking someones ass for making her taste burnt fur.

It was weird, how Thomas seemed to appear even smaller than he already was. Poor Beast was probably out of his element here.
