Beltran nodded at her answer. Night beasts were certainly not something to worry over daylight hours. At least not while the sun was still high above the earth. He was becoming a bit more curious about this swamp. It didn't seem like his type of terrain. The white streaked brute was more inclined to solid rock, for even the woodland floor was mildly alien to his rough paws. He did not question her showing him the swamp, so he followed without hesitation. The change in the terrain beneath his paws from solid and grassy to softer and wet unnerved him a little. His gaze lingered mostly on Bryce as he followed, though his nose definitely registered the change in the air even more now as they trekked along. He had caught hints of this musty smell in the air, but now it was blasting his sense of smell full on. It was nothing like the crisp air of the mountains.

Being one of few words, he did not respond when the wolfess said the night creatures that were roaming about were cougars and bears. Both of those predators were problematic in their own ways, though Beltran would be quick to admit he'd prefer a cougar to a bear any day if he were on his own. The brute paused momentarily as Bryce began her trek through the maze of fallen trees and solid land patches. He might not have been meant for the soft earth, but the movements along the solid pieces was not so different than moving along a treacherous slope in the mountains. One mis-step would lead to disaster. He followed carefully along, watching where he stepped as much as where she stepped to ensure he didn't get swallowed up by the murk. "So... you got a name?" It was an almost failing attempt at conversation on his part, but it was worth a shot if he was going to be spending any further amount of time around this one.
