It is a rune you seek, but instead it seems that there is new conversation to be had ... new alliances to be made. Perhaps you are too distracted by the presence of each other to focus on your search? Or perhaps you are just too far from a rune to gather the hints that you seek ... either way, the peace of the setting sun warms you, despite the chilling grasp of the mountains.
As you glance toward what is a very-normal-looking-tree, you think perhaps you see a strange pattern in the bark ... you think.
But nothing happens.
In the distance, the river bubbles.
And if you listen closely, you can imagine it ...
An hire ...
You sigh: you definitely imagined it.
Perhaps if you work together ...?
