With his forehead glistening with sweat in the afternoon heat, Quint made the long walk up towards Gatz' home, realizing now how tough it must be for some other members who HAD to walk that very trail. Must be why he doesn't get many visitors. But that would be a good thing I suppose, with this place supposedly being "secret".. Soon the leaves Quint walked over transitioned into a gravel trail, the hatch to inside visible, but still a ways off.
It didn't bother him for most of his journey, but the silence that gripped Purunrun poked at his nerves now. My lord, one would think Roan destroyed more than my house.. An idea. A silly one, but Quint yelled out pretty loudly, to see if it would echo. Throwing his voice towards the woods, his sound mostly didn't reverberate, but a couple copies came back, soft and partially broken from going through the leaves and branches.
At least it was a distraction from the walk. Quint had reached the apex of the hill, and began to knock quite hard on the hatch, trying to get Gatz' attention quickly, before he surfed some new picture on the internet.
..Silence. Annoyed, he banged. Come on Gatz, I hope know you haven't left too!
