"H-Hal…"
Hal stopped as he treaded the inclined forest floor and turned to look at Liora.
"Yeah?"
"I'm… hungry…"
They had been carefully advancing alongside the flowing stream for hours, and it was already well past lunchtime.
Yet, the source was still nowhere in sight, and it didn't seem to be close either.
At least, not within the Spirit Sparrow's visible range, though the limited vision was all due to Hal's extra caution.
They couldn't afford to lose the tiny avian, or their chances of survival would plummet hard.
"I see…let's look for a place to rest, then. I need to do some checks, anyway…"
And so, Hal controlled the sparrow once more, flying it closer to where they were.
Once the summon got close enough, Hal spotted something moving in the bushes beneath the massive oak to their left, causing his eyes to widen as he hurriedly left the sparrow's vision, leaving it hovering in place.
