[The handwriting isn't the neatest, but the style is sharp and strong. Unfamiliarity with a quill pen most likely.]

Before heading into the forest:

1. Stick to the paths
• Risk of more encounters if you walk off into the woods directly

2. Try not to travel alone

3. Go during the day

4. Always be ready to defend yourself

[The writing stops. He doesn't know why he even wants to go about the forest like this. Seeing the shore of a lake, he closes his journal and head towards it. Sword, gun, and ax and the animals in tow, sounds like an ideal place to stop for a bit.]

Just what I've learned over the week. Why?

I was thinking about looking around. [Although that's a bit unusual for her, but considering how the people in town have been avoiding her...] Or trying to go beyond the forest.

Can you fight?

Sort of???? [Although she'd rather not drag Kiri into another adventure if he doesn't want to.]

Sort of? Either yes or no.

Then, no. [Even if she can.]

Think the creatures will have any reason to avoid you like the townspeople?

[...Huh?] I'm not sure.

Do you know me?

Can't say I do. Who are you?

Elraine. Sorry, I just thought you might know me because of the townspeople.

The townspeople only see us as the characters. They aren't worth listening to.

Isn't that because they're characters too?

If you lump them together. They never get more development beyond existing for their job in stories.

That sounds rather normal. [Seriously. She'd rather have an average life, but oh well.]

Normal, but they sure as hell can be annoying.

Really? They've mostly been trying to avoid me.

That's weird. What's the name on your journal?

Kumiho. Do you know who that is?

Kumiho.

[Nothing for a moment, but he does think he heard of it.]

It's not really who, but it if I remember. Kumiho is a nine-tailed fox. The Korean version anyway.

How do they expect me to be a fox? This is stupid.

What's Korean?

They're shape shifters, that's how.

Something that comes from Korea. And if you're asking, it's a country where I'm from. Leave it at that.

I've never heard of something like that being possible. I don't know how I would even begin with learning shape shifting.

Sorry. I'm not too fond of this 'kidnapping from multiple worlds' business. It's very confusing.

If you want my opinion, you might not want to learn. Kumiho aren't exactly good creatures. It might wake something up.

You're telling me.
