(The evening sun paints the sky in shades of gold and crimson as Aeth and Ortho reappear inside their treehouse base. Ors and Raika shrink back to their normal forms, both stretching lazily after the long flight.)
Ortho (excited): Big bro, can we go to that open plain tomorrow? Maybe we'll find humans there!
Aeth (placing items on the table): Hmm… I know you're curious, but we can't just rush in. We don't know what kind of people live near that area — or if they'll even be friendly.
Ortho: But it's been years! We've stayed hidden in this forest since we got here. I wanna see what the world outside looks like!
Aeth (smiling faintly): I know, Ortho. I want that too… but first, we'll prepare. If we're leaving the forest, we'll need proper supplies — food, clothes, and some weapons just in case.
(Raika hops onto the wooden floor, her tails glowing faintly with sparks.)
Raika: Master Aeth, the scent of humans is faint but present near the plains. It seems they don't come into the forest often.
Ors (growling low): Probably because of the monsters. But if humans are nearby, it means villages… and maybe trade.
Ortho (grinning): See? Even Ors agrees! Let's go, big bro!
Aeth (sighing, amused): You're impossible sometimes. Fine. We'll go tomorrow morning. But first — training at dawn.
Ortho: Ehh? Training again?!
Aeth: If you have enough energy to argue, you have enough to train.
(Ortho groans dramatically as Raika and Ors snicker quietly. The group settles down for the night, their small campfire flickering against the wooden walls.)
