"You know, we could leave. The whole village. We could take all of our houses and gear and just go. The ghosts can have the woods and this house, everyone lives on happily." Despite his words, he's edging closer to the structure and figure. A few moments later he's close enough to see that it used to be a person, but now it's another corpse, wrapped tightly in vines and roots. Great. They're probably about to be up against someone who kills with the Vice, and Shepherds will return in time to find them all dead.
"Good. This is exactly how I was hoping my day would go," he says, stepping back to be close to Lance and Fiadh. How they're supposed to do anything against someone who can use trees he doesn't know, but he's got to try. His cats are back in that village as well as people he cares a lot about.
