Why did it have to be the Marshflats again..? Arashi sighed, each time he definitely hated this place more and more, He left Cookie with Mizu at his home to keep them safe He'll take care of this mission by himself if he has too, although that won't be necessary as apparently the witch of Moonglade, one of Charon's most prominent figures will be helping him with this task. Apparently a couple of Vorrapedes were causing havoc in the marshlands near the frontier with King's Valley, and people were worried they would keep going into the fields of the valley.
But really why the Marshflats... with another sigh Arashi ventured on, surely such big creatures will leave a trail while burrowing, surely it wouldn't take long to find them right?! Regardless of how long he had to waddle through the swamp, he first had to find his companion for the mission, so he waited right next to the path that went from King's Valley into the Marshflats... and hopefully they'd find each other soon, He wondered what Kamille would be like, He had never personally met her, but he had heard of her, and even seen her in action during the fight against Vulcadreaus... he even heard she and Javal were who brought his body to Shitakibo for healing...
He must show respect and gratitude!

Ah... The Marshlands.
Perhaps "hatred" was a strong word for it, but she was close. It's been a lot of unpleasant situations that she had faced there, including some haunting and body swapping with a hag. Definitely on the list of the worst experiences in her life.
But she also had an interest in keeping a good dynamic with the Marshflats, since they were neighbors. She'd be the first one to ask for retribution should Moonglade need it - she was shameless enough for it, and had performed quite a few tasks around the Marshflats to warrant such influence by now. Deep down she hoped that would never be needed, but...
It was always good to have people indebted to you.
Her advance on the track was slow, but she prefered it that way. Her feet dangling on the air, at least she didn't have to worry about the difficult terrain, as Disaster took care of it. The giant golem resembled more to a haunted tree than anything else, its huge fists sprawling on the ground like roots - but despite being quite the view, he moved slowly and with caution. Kamille sat comfortably on its shoulder as he pushed through.
"CAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW! Hello!"
"Looks like Mischief found someone, Disaster. Let's go take a look."
Mischief croaked, flying in circles overhead until he found someone. The raven had the talent to bring her trouble, but sometimes she just... went along with it. There was always a half-and-half chance Mischief would lead her into chaos, but the other times...
As they breached through the path, the golem making it look like a part of the forest itself was walking, Kamille was finally able to spot the person that Mischief saw.
"Wait! I know this one! Put me down, Disaster!"
The golem leaned forward carefuly as to gently allow the Witch back to the ground. Yes, she knew this one! The happenings of Vulcadreaeus' fight were a tad blurred in her mind - but if she remembered anything clearly of it, it was peoples faces!
"Oh my! I remember you! I believe I never got your name! How are you doing? I'm so glad to see you looking so good!"

Arashi didn't have to wait around for long since soon after stopping he heard a Raven, Cawing and seemingly greeting him, Arashi waved at the Bird "Oh Hello little one!" He looked at the Raven as it flew around him, then he heard a heavy steps down the marsh, Looking towards them He spotted a big tree-like Golem with a woman on it's shoulder, Turns out that was the Witch of Moonglade herself, She seemed surprised to see him.
Arashi Blushed a little at both her remembering him, and being glad he was doing well. "My name is Arashi Tento, I'm pleased to meet you." he bowed as he was used to, still hard to get rid of certain habits even more so while nervous "I remember you from the battle too, and I am very thankful for your help in bringing me back to life." As he got back up he continued, "I'm doing well though! Would be better off of this swamp but you know, gotta do what you gotta do..." He shrugged a little feeling a bit more at ease now that he got the 'thank yous' out of the way.
"This mission should be easy enough with your help though! a pair of lowly vorrapedes are no match for one of the strongest spellcasters of our time! I mean I can pull my weight but... well I can't summon meteors out of the sky!" He chuckles a little, the truth was he was a bit conflicted about this, he wants to get this over with as quickly as possible, since he hates the marsh, but he also would hate to be here in vain, and while he expects a good fight out of the creatures, he doesn't want it to drag for too long... it was a complicated set of feelings, that he couldn't quite word...
Either way, Hopefully he can learn something out of Lady Kamille.

While Kamille recognized the habits of his culture - the Witch had been born at the Crescent Isles, her father had seen fit to teach her their ways even if the Court soon took them in - it was far too much to ask for the same in return. Instead, the Witch pulled Arashi in for a tight hug, unabashed as one could be. It was quick, but the light never faded from her eyes.
"Oh, I don’t like the swamp either.... and it looks like it doesn’t like me in return... But the people are interesting, for sure."
And Moonglade's neighboors too. It was in her interest to keep vigilance on the region as well. She'd heard of a few swamp witches and covens sprouting around.
Kamille did seem to blush ever so lightly when Arashi complimented her accomplishments - a dainty, shy rosy hue crawling up her cheeks. But she waved the subject away.
"Well, we can't solve everything with meteors and fireballs, right?"
Actually......
"Either way, I'm interested in knowing how you think we should approach this situation. I was thinking Disaster could stay here and we try to track them, as discretely as possible...?"
Which was always a challenge on her end.
"I can always turn into a raven and try to get a better view from above. What do you think?"

Once Arashi's bow was completely destroyed by a hug from Kamille he blushed profusely, shocked but also appreciative of the gesture... he rarely got hugs after all... but also unsure of whether he should hug back or stay still or push away or.... and while thinking of that she let go. his blush didn't release its hold so easily though, but as Kamille mentioned not everything being solvable with fireballs, Arashi chuckled nervously and nodded slightly "Maybe not everything, but most things... and monsters usually are included in those."
As Kamille explained her plan, Arashi nodded, his blush subsiding as his mind focused on the task at hand. "That could work, although being that they are burrowing worms, it might be hard to spot them from too high up... although they are not small so their tracks could be pretty easy to follow even at a distance..." he thought for a second "We don't know their whereabouts so trying to lure them to us would probably not work if they are too far away..." he nodded to himself thinking of a sort of strategy. "We could try and find their tracks first to make sure we are relatively close, then try and lure them out... I'm sure you know a lot of spells, if you have something that could cause a very loud sound or vibration... well then that would probably make them come out, we just have to be sure they will hear it."
He hoped his plan made sense, he wasn't keen on tracking them for too long, but they had to make sure they were close enough, so searching for one of their tunnels and then making them come out was in his opinion the best strategy...
If Kamille agreed to this plan Arashi would begin to float in the air[1] unwilling to keep waddling through the stinky swamp water, and float around as they both searched for the vorrapedes' tunnel entrance.
