[ Merrin approaches with a swish of starlight, and she's not the only one among the gods who seems to take some of the night sky with her. Aegis may not be all that close with her compared to some of the other gods, but that's not for any particular reason, and he won't say no to her companionship in this moment.
If that's what she's offering, anyhow. Her comment feels like a test of sorts, though Aegis doesn't waste any time chewing on it. He starts to follow after the faint tracks left in the soil, not wanting to lose the trail. ]
Are you one of them?
[ From what he knows of her, he doubts it. She's familiar with this wood and could have just as easily ignored him and left him to handle this situation on his own. Perhaps she doesn't consider it her job to set these mortals on a safer path the way he does, but... they're here now, are they not? ]
... There's a village near here, overseen by one of us. [ Cid, Herald of the Coming Storm. ] This might be one of his who wandered off.
[ In case she needed an explanation for why he's here, but to be honest, it's simpler than that. His purpose is to help in situations such as this, and so he continues on his way, swinging his gunblade to cut a path. Whether or not Merrin wants to follow is her choice. ]
