An armored frame was resting against a tree as a light breeze slowly started to roll over the area making the branches move slightly as the air was filled by the sound of leaves moving in the wind. The cloth parts of the armor moved with the breeze as a heavy sigh was released from the helmet, it had been a decent journey but Lothric had been having a nagging feeling in his bones for the entire trip and it was starting to affect his peace of mind more then he wanted. Looking over his surroundings once more he couldn't help but shake the uneasy feeling this area gave him and that which at first had caused him to stop was now almost screaming at him to move as far away from here that he could. Either way he should get a move on so that he would reach Bellmuse before long, not that there was any situation or such demanding his attention but Lothric just did not want to spend any more time here due to the feeling he had.
Moving away from the tree Lothric grabbed his sword and attached the sheath to his side as he rested his left hand on the hilt of Sanctus Ignis, returning his thoughts to the current journey kept him from completely focusing on the uneasy feeling but it was still there like a gnawing wound slowly festering. Another heavy sigh as his voice broke the simple silence beyond the leaves and cloth rustling in the wind "I doth swear, tis quite the bother tho I understand mine own self and the paranoia mine mind can make unto itself should I allow it such."
Even so he kept moving for a while until he reached a slight clearing where it held enough place for him to set up camp should he wish to do such but for now Lothric would simply focus upon his surroundings as he closed his eyes and focused upon the sounds. Then it became clear to him, he was followed for some time and the breaking of fallen branches and stomping on leaves fallen to the ground had alerted him, now his choices was easy.
Lothric could either wait for his enemies to attack first or he could enter a defensive stance and ready himself for the inevitable clash of fire, steel and whatever means his opponent would bring forth. Making a quick judgment he slowly walked to the center of the clearing and in one fluid motion unsheathed Sanctus Ignis and entered into his normal defensive stance, readying himself for battle.
