Nimiko followed behind the dragon at a steady pace, watching carefully as they both walked through the wood to make sure neither of them got trapped. She listened to Giovanni introduce himself and she chuckled as he mentioned her title, quickly responding. "Worry not, it is purely a title of my past. Nowadays I much prefer to help out than cause mischief." Nimiko said, occasionally pushing the occasional branch out of the way as they proceeded. Nimiko watched Giovanni closely, making sure he doesn't try to be sneaky, while also making sure she doesn't walk into him if he stopped.
Just as the silence between them during the walk let Nimiko get a moment to herself, the both of them stopped. She looked up with Giovanni at the foreboding tree, noticing the frayed rope almost immediately. "Yeah. Didn't expect this in such an otherwise peaceful forest. Something is definitely off about this though. This time it isn't the forest though." Nimiko mentioned, the breeze pushing her hair a little as it swept past the pair. The breeze isn't usually this... Inconsistent. Something was definitely going on, and the two of them were going to figure it out whether the forest liked it or not.
Then this man mentioned ghost stories. There weren't very many of those back where Nimiko is from, due to the fact she has visited the realm of the dead on multiple occasions and has watched the recently deceased pass on more than once. However, Nimiko expected this wasn't the realm of the dead she had visited. During her limited time on earth, Nimiko hasn't really heard much about how death works, but she has heard the occasional stories from children. None of this really bothered Nimiko though, if there was a realm to visit to speak to these ghosts, Nimiko wouldn't hesitate to visit it. The silence had encompassed the pair again, so Nimiko decided to pipe up. "Well, if those stories are true, I'm glad I'm not exactly a mortal being myself. This may give us a ledge to stand on to figure out just what has happened." Nimiko said in a lighter joke while being as serious as before. Unfortunately, this scene wasn't exactly giving the pair of them many clues.
