double dog dare you

Having shaken Tide and the rest of his responsibilities for the day, Davey is heading back to the forest of spikes.  It would be so much better without his brother dragging him down, chattering annoyingly at his side.  Best that they spend time apart from each other, especially now.  Davey would like to think that the lack of charm was contagious, and he really couldn't be too careful. 

Stony surface beneath his feet, red sun high in the sky... yeah, adventuring.  Exploring.  Eyes peeled, confident steps bringing the lithe boy deeper than he'd gone the last time.  Well and truly getting a lay of the land.  How weird, that it's caught between lush lands and sand, but so wildly different?  Davey doesn't get it, but maybe examining them more closely will bring the answers he wants.
