Mako sighed as he fluttered up the stairs. At the urging of Ophelia he left his book behind at the welcome shed, but then he proceeded to be stubborn and attempt to no-sell the haunts and surprises they went through at the entryway. He would have much rather had gotten this all done as fast as possible but he wasn't so cruel a moogle that he'd leave Shinji and Penpen behind.

He looked the penguin up and down before looking ahead down the path, "Mmmm, probably." It looked like the marked path went on ahead for a bit but there seemed like there was a downed tree mostly blocking the way about halfway down the entirety of this forest path. They might have to turn off into the woods themselves when they got to it.

"But if the penguin wants to turn back now there's no shame in it, kupo."
