Dorian ignores Vitus, as likely to gut him as to speak to him he continues looking up into the tree and smiles as he remembers all the good times he had with the only friend he ever had

"How should I know? You know what'd have been useful?" Vitus doesn't wait for an answer, "One of those guards. Unfortunately we managed to kill everyone at that camp, which leaves us nowhere. For all we know the Opal King is on the other side of the world," Vitus says, exhaling a long sigh. He takes the bread and rips off a large piece, then tosses the bread to Dorian, hoping he won't ignore the throw.

"Oh no, things didn't go the way Captain Vitus had planned!" Ellie says mockingly, pretending a sad lone tear was rolling down her cheeks. "You know what we should do instead of sitting hear like piles of crap?" she pondered sarcastically, a smug smirk appearing on her lips. "Oh, I know - let's go and actually do something!" she says it as if she had discovered sliced bread. "Here's a lesson for you. When things don't go your way, try and find another one." she says before pulling out her map from before, that was old and faded to look at.

Dorian ignores the throw and the bread Vitus threw to him lands on the ground next to him but he just continues to look up into the tree and remembers something Seluné told him shortly after he killed their master. Suddenly the fire that was on his eyes before returns to his eyes and is burning with a vengeance. He stands and joins Ellie and starts looking over the map with her.
"Where are we roughly?" Dorian asks not sure where they are on the map.

"Figure it out ma'am. I know your boyfriend is dead, but you should really be careful about how you talk to certain people," Vitus says, a genuine smile on his face. Her attitude reminds him of someone. Himself. Vitus stops himself from commenting on the wasted bread and jogs to the river to wash up and take a moment to clear the anger from his mind. It wouldn't take much more for Vitus to explode and completely ruin his deal with the king.

Ellie raises an eyebrow at that. "Boyfriend?" Her cheeks tint a deep red but she refuses to give in. "Don't act all high and mighty, you idiotic hypocrite. You know you've been through the same pain as both of us." she hisses out, mostly talking about his late wife. She glares at him one more time before focusing on Dorian. "I'd say we're near here, by the Cherrywood forests." she replies, pointing to an area where a river and forest sounded it.

Dorian looks over his shoulder to keep an eye on Vitus, once Dorian felt comfortable Vitus was far enough away that he wouldn't hear anything he looks at Ellie.
"I don't trust this one, all villages around here have been razed to the ground so him having all those posters makes no sense and if the opal king has mind powers as he said then how did he get away? I've been in the opal kings presence. Quite recently, cruel Bayard but didn't seem that smart. I believe he is making is think the opal king has mind powers to distract from his. I don't know what he's keeping from us but I highly doubt it's good." Dorian whispers while looking at the map but focusing on where Vitus is.
"Cherrywood forest? I've been near here before. If we are here then there are some old catacombs that were well stocked with supplies years ago and probably still are of they haven't been found." Dorian says pointing to a location on the map but far from where Ellie thinks they are
