"Is this the first time that you are going out on your own to do such a thing?" Throne said, titling his head, holding a overall formal and steady voice, "These things may be out of your control. It may not be entirely of your own fault."

Seis flinched a bit from the sound, yet didn't back down. Her eyes followed the mouse for a moment before looking back at the weasel. She smiled and muttered, "Oh, how cute! M-many little animals here...!"

"I'm curious on what she is even following now...would it be much trouble if we followed or helped Seis?" Crimson asked.

"I just, like, don't wanna scare off whatever she's chasin', so let's be careful," Silencio nodded, slowly heading towards Seis.

"It's small. Not really sure what it is since I can't tell if it's even alive, but Seis touched it at some point..."

"First time with permission...I don't think it'll matter if it's out of my control or not. Orphos has been really weird lately. He keeps slinking around and acting more paranoid about his projects than usual. He's going to flip out that random people are here. It was a big deal that he even allowed me here at all."
The words had tumbled out of her before she registered them, and her eyes widened briefly as she clapped her own hand over her mouth. "I don't think I'm supposed to be talking about that, either," she mumbled through her palm. "Forget I said anything."
She started moving faster. As they made their way up the path, the air was growing steadily warmer, and the sparse vegetation that dotted the sides of the pathway were becoming increasingly scarce.

"I believe that once words are said, they cannot be taken back." Throne replies, keeping pace, "Though surely this sounds like his way of keeping you safe."
It seems, in fact, he was not going to forget what she said.

((Waiting on the other two-- no rush, I know it's finals season!))

"Noooo..."
Seis followed after it quickly. It's hard to tell if he's ignoring or just not perceiving the fact he was about to be mauled by a weasel.
Silencio, after getting a better look at the weasel, shapeshifted into a more realistic and not-made-of-obsidian version of it and followed after Seis and said weasel they had copied. If asked for a reasoning, they figured it would at least be a bit less scary for the weasel if they weren't their usual 6'5 self and also looked to be something similar to it.
So, Seis and Silence are following after the weasel.

"Hey! Hold on!" Crimson said and dashed off following Seis and Sliencio
(Fr tho, it's odd. Practically grew up together at this point.)

Bliss huffed again. "I'm sure he thinks that's what he's doing, but I can handle myself. He just needs help realizing that."
She looked up as a chunk of earth crumbled off the edge of the path that switchbacked above them. The sliver of a figure could be seen quickly backing away from the edge, and the sound of footsteps receding towards the summit quickly faded.
"Great," she grumbled. "More random people."

"Mhm." Throne nods thoughtfully, eyeing the mysterious figure as it vanished from his line of sight, placing a hand on his sword pommel, "Very well then. I won't stop you from letting you prove so. Keeping this area mostly secret has been a failure, but surely you can produce satisfactory results to make up for it."
He simply just then watches Bliss.

Seis and Silencio are able to keep up pretty well (Silence a bit better), considering they both like doing stuff like this for fun. Seis is starting to faulter a bit, however.
Seis is probably going to get distracted soon though, and he will probably forget why he was running in the first place.

"Oy oy oy! Slow down! I can only see so much ahead of me!" Crimson called after them. Part of him wondering what the hell he's getting himself into. Not that he minds...
