Giving Air to its Red [Event/Briar, Open]

At least now Adell had something he could actually investigate directly in Volos, even if it was something that caused him to triple check his weapon. Wolves and other creatures usually stayed far away from civilization. He wasn't the most knowledgeable when it came to wildlife, but he knew that creatures that forgot their fear of humans were very dangerous indeed.

A legitimate excuse to investigate. Mainland or not, Ilusia was still Heimite territory, and the military had a duty to keep the civilians safe. At least, that was Adell's opinion on the matter. Inviting Briar had been an exercise in nervousness, but it would be better to have a local show him the way. And, at the end of the day, he had more to investigate than some unusual howling.

He stood at the agreed-upon meeting spot, checking his equipment once more. It would be a short trip, but it was better to be over- rather than under-prepared. At least his military training made the weight of supplies not too much of a burden.

Now all that was left to do was wait and see if she would arrive. Strange that he was more worried about that than having his throat ripped out by some ravenous beast. He shifted his weight from foot to foot, scanning the street.
