It suddenly occurred to Brent that an eery silence had taken over the forest. His gaze moved from the stick he was holding to a stick on the ground that had cracked...the whistling of the breeze...and then--...

Duuuuude. What exactly was in this forest?! He didn't even want to know, but he had a good idea. Something had caused a stick to crack, and something had just passed in the shadows. His eyes widened as he pictured poor Gerald, a muggle, traveling through the forest with no wand or magic to protect him.

The glow of the rune he'd just invoked turned his attention back to the stick in his hand, and then his gaze followed the direction of the glow to a nearby path. That was it! That was the way! Brent started to hastily head in that direction, but then he stopped.

Gerald.

He sighed, realizing he should have probably had the man follow him instead of just sending him on his way. Not wanting to lose sight of the pathway he'd just been shown, Brent walked to the edge of said path and pointed his wand forward. "Orchideous!" he called out, and a small, yet pretty bouquet of flowers burst from his wand. He placed the flowers neatly on the ground as an indication that this is the way he should go...

...once he had Gerald back with him.

On that note, he headed in the direction he'd seen Gerald go in. "Hey, Gerald?" ... "You around here, man?" he asked. "Look, I erm...found a faster way out. Come this way, and I'll show you." He paused and pointed his wand forward once again. "Homenum Revelio!" he said, hoping to have a little luck locating his new friend.

Come on, dude. We gotta get out of here.
