There’s a fallen tree up ahead, and quite a large one: When they reach it, Rezo will pause and poke at it so he has a rough idea of how best to proceed. He continues chatting as he does so.

“I have heard about it, and that it did not go very well. Few seemed willing to speak of it in detail.” Which was unfortunate, because Rezo really would like more information on the tethers. It seems extremely important to working out his own situation.

Having determined the tree is long enough that going around it isn’t practical, he hoists himself up onto the trunk and turns to Lioriley, in case she needs help hauling herself over.

“I presume from your tone you were one of the individuals disturbed?” he asks.
