Jake snickered at Dirk's cloak. It would take him forever to get all the debris off of it. He crossed the clearing and started brushing at it to help.

"If you're going to tail a fellow into the forest you should get a coat. Cloaks are senseless for adventures, even if they are good for warmth in this heat forsaken place."

He wondered how Strider could even see where he was going through the dark of his glasses and the forest.

"Your shades, do they have spell on them or something? How did you see well enough to follow me?"

Jake squinted at his face, closer now trying to read it's expression.
