[The camera feed flicks on. The trees rise around like tall, brooding sentinels, still and silent and watchful. The waxing moon is far away tonight, giving only a little light, enough to illuminate the blackness with dark blue and green. As the eyes grow more accustomed, the shapes grow more pronounced. It’s almost possible to see the faces stare

[The leap-upon has been and gone now, and rain is falling in the forest. But orders have lead Sheik here and so here he is, the crow still perched resolutely upon one shoulder. He moves through the forest with even more caution this time, his blond hair growing dark as it is plastered to his head. The trees afford some canopy from the oncoming storm, but it's not enough when you've been out in it all day...

He's used to searching. How often had this happened in World's End? People went missing, got into trouble on a near daily basis there, and he had lost count of the times that Zelda had sent him forth as her eyes.

Which was not to say that he begrudged it, by any means. The trust was something he valued highly, had been then and was now - moreso now, perhaps, the princess knowing him so little as she did.

The night is well on, and the moon hidden, but still he does not stop. His eyes see better than most in this dark, and he has Karasu, too. It's a better feeling than being cooped up, certainly, stuck indoors and trapped.

He stops short. He can hear something - hear breathing, and not just that of the black dogs that have been slinking here and there, grinning at him. No, this is distinctly more human, and a little shaken - a sob? No, no.

It occurs to him that it could easily be a glamour, but he heads towards it, swift and silent.]

North?

[North took in a sharp breath, startled at the sound. The voice was a gentle one but it didn't calm him as it might have done outside the situation. Someone saying his name now was either a huge relief or a huge stab or terror and he didn't know which one to cling to. He gripped the hilt of his Wish blade and shakily lifted the sword.]

Who's there? I'm armed.
