[Bedivere paused, and he frowned, looking at the area around them. It was then that he noticed something he had missed before: the sounds of the birds were distant, and there were no rustling bushes, no rabbits or squirrels running by. There wasn't any notable wildlife in the area.
He looked up, following Dazai's nod. No tripwires were up there, but there were no birds either. Had their adversary planned on making them go that way? Or was there perhaps some other kind of danger waiting up there?
The answer, of course, was that there was a trap up in the trees. If they stepped on the wrong branch, it would break and they would fall right into a spiked pit, one carefully hidden by leaves. Bedivere hadn't noticed that yet, but he was still on edge from the lack of animals. So much so that he didn't want to climb the trees at all.]
...Master. We need to go.
[The hair was raising up on the back of his neck. Were they already too deep in the trap?
Signs pointed to 'maybe'. They weren't completely surrounded by tripwires, but the tripwires were definitely arranged in a way to try and funnel them to a specific point. It was lucky that they had caught them early.
Or perhaps not lucky. Because directly behind them was another wire, but this one was higher than the rest, right about at neck-height on the two men.]
