D'mitri did in fact notice the strong wind currents. It was a quick change of weather as the skies started to gray with anger, the clouds rolling with the winds. His nostrils flared as he called out to Gabrielle. It gave him peace to know that she seemed to read his mind by landing close by. The stallion raised his wings to shield her from the winds as she came closer.

"Forest close by. Strong shelter from storms. Let us go. We can walk." He nodded affirmatively keeping stride with her gait but careful to not intrude on her personal space. It was strange being so close to another and for such a long period of time. Usually he would have been on his way by now, but he couldn't leave at this point. It would make him feel...well that was a word he hadn't used in a while. He was feeling a sense of duty to Gabrielle, and even stranger was that he didn't mind.

The walk to the forest seemed long as the rains began to fall from the pregnant clouds. He made sure to keep his wings over her frame in an effort to keep her dry. Well try to. The forest wouldn't be much farther now. It was one of his hideaways in this part of the isles. He wouldn't be surprised if she had been here before. D'mitri would just have to find out.
