"Is it really okay for us to sit around not doing anything?" one man asked as they sat by a fire in the forest, roasting a hunted game over it.
"Eh, so what? We already found the princess, it is obvious what must have become of her captor by now. Why must we waste time searching fruitlessly?" one man responded with his eyes mainly on the roasting meat.
"True. We have been searching for two days and two nights now, we have not found any man. What makes you think we would find one now?" Another asks.
"Let's just wait here for a while and when dusk comes, we return back. 'Tis that simple."
"But does it not bother you all?"
"What?"
"That the princess was just conveniently laying on the ground? After how many days of searching? Besides, if the man was indeed devoured by the spirits of the damned, what happened to his horse? If anything, she should have run away on his horse, do you not find it strange?"
