We could go through the entrance, or we could cut our way through the field. The second one seems more troublesome, honestly, but if something is watching the path it might be safer.
It could also be worse, but at this point we can't say which way is the best until we give it a try.
[He still brings up the scythe and steps a little closer to Holly, more side-by-side than behind her. He's less looking ahead and more looking to either side of the path now.]
[the further in they get, the louder the whispering becomes. Behind them, he can hear tiny footprints, pattering across the path and in between the stalks of corn.
Should they turn to look, they might catch a shoe disappearing into the corn, but otherwise? Nothing]

[He hefts the scythe up a bit.]
Let's try the path. If we try cutting first, we might jut get really lost.

[after taking one last look around she heads into the cornfield entrance, making sure Tama is right behind her]

It's so dark that you can barely see - that's why you nearly collide with the corn when you come to the first fork. It branches off, left and right.]
no subject
Ah...left? We can be consistent if we'd like.
no subject
Yeah...
[He turns around and grimaces. He can't even see back the way they came now.]
Yeah. Let's go, quick.
no subject
This is some cornfield...No point in hesitating, right? We did want forward.
[leading them left]
no subject
As you proceed, however, you begin to hear noises in the cornstalks around you - whispering?]
no subject
no subject
I do, but that's no reason to stop.

Your concern is appreciated. But there may be no reason for these people to bother us if we don't bother them.

I mean people are definitely stalking us through a cornfield but that's probably fine]
Hello? You can come out, we don't mean any harm.

no subject
.....but mostly, we don't mean any harm.
no subject
It goes deadly quiet for a few moments, before you hear giggling, further into the corn]
no subject
[tilting her head in the direction of the giggling, concerned they have been scared off]
He didn't mean that, he's just being cautious.
no subject
[He looks in the direction of the giggling, unsettled. Maybe they should approach it, but...he kinda doesn't want to.]
no subject
[in the dead of night in a creepy cornfield. it could happen. kids have done weirder things. weirder things have happened in kyr.]
I doubt they want to come out and say hello now.
no subject
[He lowers the scythe and approaches the sound of the giggling.]
Hey, uh, sorry if I scared you. You can come on out. Really, we're just trying to find our way out of here.
no subject
Come play with us.
no subject
[Spinning around and walking back towards Holly, grabbing her and walking in the opposite direction briskly.]
Nope, nope, nope.
no subject
[digging her feet in and trying to get him to stop]
Look, we don't have time to play, it's fine to just say that. We still have to find a way out.
