As far as forests went, this particular one was nothing at all like any of the ones Gabranth had seen. Not that he'd made a particular study of Ivalice's forests, mind you, but he was fairly certain their wasn't anything near what currently stood in front of them. But there was certainly no harm in that. A forest was hardly a threat on its own.
Neirenn had gone back to Halloween Town on her own this time--the Heartless could be avoided or knocked out with her spells, so long as she was careful not to let any darkness leak into them. The surroundings might have been spooky, but the knowledge that it wasn't quite a real place combined with how... overwrought the "scary" environment was mitigated any unease.
But when she'd seen the other door, she hadn't thought too much about simply going through. Dangerous? Maybe, but she could handle it. If nothing else, she could simply use her portal spell to escape quickly.
The place she stepped into was so utterly... different. A sky that stretched on to forever, real plants and animals, the smell of grass and flowers and trees and open air. Neirenn hadn't seen anything like it since she'd been traveling with the others. Still it wouldn't do to drop her guard--looking around, she spotted a young boy in finery and a tall man all in armor. "Ah... hello there," she said, stepping forward. Judging by their appearance, they must have been

Larsa nodded once to Gabranth and started forward. Though he wasn't expecting to be ambushed by anyone or anything, he wasn't stupid enough to think they were completely safe. Nothing was perfectly safe in this place, especially outside the city. These heartless things weren't what he was used to fighting, but he was by no means useless against them. Considering he rather preferred being alive, he wasn't going to slack off around them, either.
He'd made it a couple of steps when he heard someone's voice. Turning to address the young lady, Larsa smiled in response. "Hello. Are you here to explore as well?"
So they were to possibly have another companion then? An unexpected occurrence, but no matter. He could keep an eye on two easily enough, and she seemed to have little enough ill intent, for all that he could currently judge. True, that would only out given time, but that was of less concern. If Larsa wished to bring her along then so be it. It was hardly his place to judge.
For now, however he would actually speak, save to offer a polite nod in her direction.
[ooc: Oh my god I am so sorry about this. Things were busy and then my ISP had a week-long outage DX if I start dragging again feel free to poke me for a tag!]"That's right," Neirenn said with a nod and a bit of a grin. She looked around again, marveling at the vast landscape. She had a difficult time believing that this was just a floor inside a castle--it seemed more like a portal to another world entirely. Her mind was alive with questions. How far did it extend? Did it just create itself as people moved around in it? Would it be populated with 'people' like the ones that lived in Paixao itself--was it based on somewhere real
