Asher walked through unchanging foliage for no more than a few minutes, hearing no further sounds from the distant wolf during that time. His tentative pace was an obvious giveaway of his caution, however.
Thus, as the sharp whistle pierced the still air, the man twisted around immediately to face the potential threat. His spear clutched in both hands, the deadly tip pointed straight at Anton's chest, the twenty foot gap between it and his flesh apparently going ignored. Asher's helmet obscured his face for the most part, leaving a thin gap where his steely eyes stared out at the stranger with unreadable emotion. It was a firm gaze, unyielding, serious and (scarily) undaunted by the weapon aimed his way.
A tense moment followed, silence in the space around them, the sense of danger in the air.
"You should lower than thing before you get hurt," Asher suddenly broke the silence, his tone of voice level, calm. "There doesn't need to be bloodshed here."
I am Inferi.
