[Fall, 845] [The Forest] Of Mountains and Men

Beatrice's mouth gaped at the aggressive trainee as he marched onwards, seemingly oblivious to the insanity of his plan. Her gaze steeled slightly, eyebrows drawing downward. She jogged slightly to catch up with him, then fell in stride.

"Er, excuse me?" She countered with a critical tone, brushing her hair to hang behind her ears, then gripping the straps of her backpack. "Did you see the distance between here and the mountain? We'll kill ourselves with overexertion trying to make it in a day. We'd probably have to sprint at top speed all the way."

Her hands left the straps of her pack to count off the reasons against the plan. "That's just one issue. Not to mention there's no trails, meaning a straight path would likely be uncrossable. We neither have any kinds of provisions, and won't have the energy to cross such a distance that fast."

As they entered the line of sparse trees at the edge of the forest, Beatrice glanced back at the other girl, whose name she didn't know yet. "We'll try to move fast, yes, but we should be smart about this."
