Clementine:
As the awkward silence dragged on, I decided to pull the attention away from Ian refusing to tell us about this place, even though it could literally help us in so many ways.
Instead, I shifted to something else that had just hit me hard.
"I'd seen another monster in the north."
As soon as I said that, heads snapped toward me. Ian only folded his arms and raised an eyebrow.
"I guess that the area we were lost in was crawling with these things, but they never came near because they were afraid of the Wendigers," I explained what I thought, at least. That was all I had to offer, to be honest.
Wendigos were terrifying. Even the Fleshmingos stayed away from them. So maybe that was why these things never came out.
"What kind of a monster?" Haiden asked, setting down the knife on the side table.
He slid his hands into his pockets, walking past Ian and giving him a brief glance, just to remind him their conversation wasn't over.
