Forest trouble (5)

It didn't take long to get back to the elven village, but the elders were surprised to see them back so soon.

After all, they had expected them to be out all day looking for clues.

When they heard Moon's report, they looked at us with strange looks, but they still brought us back to the same place as before to discuss it.

Since it was Haley who had found these tracks, she was the one that they questioned.

But to everyone's surprise, instead of asking her how she found these tracks, they started asking her things about the Sprinting Bird. They asked all kinds of different questions, such as the behaviour of the Spiriting Bird, their natural habitat, and many other different things.

Haley was surprised as well to be asked these things, but she didn't have any problems answering the questions that had been asked of her.

With how easily she answered the questions, one might even think that she was an expert on the Sprinting Birds.
