Damp clothing dripped water droplets as Lund looked towards the bounty hunters not far away,
"You're saying you found another set of footprints?"
Lund grabbed the Shield Axe Man by the throat and hoisted him up. In the brief moments before breathing became difficult, the Shield Axe Man hastened to explain,
"I... we found two sets of footprints and thought that the woman had met up with her partner, so... so we split into two groups, intending to capture them all in one fell swoop.
Just now, I didn't mean to attack, just... just thought they heard our footsteps and had dived into the turbulent waters, wanting to strike first to avoid harm, Lord, you..."
Roughly throwing the Shield Axe Man aside, Lund lifted his Knight Helmet, letting the filthy water from inside pour down through the gap around his neck.
Having chased for quite a while, Lund hadn't caught a single glimpse of Iyas climbing ashore.
