[It could grow frustrating, to need to warn and explain and seek permission every time he uses something as natural to him as reading a sign or using his hands. For now, however, the urgency of his situation quashes anything as trivial as irritation. His hands are no longer tied, but the ice on which he treads feels very thin still. ]
No hounds. [His answer is quick and sure, though Bennet’s question is well-thought. Stratos has done this often enough to read the difference between a humanoid and a smaller, low-slung animal. At farther range it would be more difficult, but he can see their distant sentry well enough: anything closer poses no difficulty. The spell isn’t especially taxing, but it does take sustained effort, so after a final survey of the camp he releases it. His energy is best conserved. ]
I can’t speak to any traps they may have set, only the living creatures within. [He doesn’t consider traps likely, but better to make clear the limits of his information.]
[OOC: RL holiday stuff delayed me a bit but I wanted to finish my reply this morning. I'm glad the timing worked out so perfectly! And likewise, I'm excited to see what these two get up to, especially since this gives me the chance to play with a couple sides of Stratos I haven't explored much. ]
