Finding Patches proved to be pretty easy. He’d essentially plowed a trail through the forest when he ran through it—giant boot prints, wet spots from fallen tears, trees bent to the side, and smaller plants like bushes and shrubs completely trampled.
Derian had ditched his car once he was far enough away from the original scene and was now blowing through the forest as a cloud of blue mist. Soon enough he got to the end of the trail and found the crying medic, at which point he came back together in his human form, the one Patches would recognize him in.
The sun was already starting to set at this point as he was curled up there for a very long time. It felt like ages before Patches actually heard sounds coming from the woods. One of his now giant eyes opened a tad to see Derian. Standing there.
They screamed and sat up- still tearing up and his entire face was darkened. “w-why are you here!?”
