[Lu Meng relaxes a bit once he gets reassurance that Sora will adopt a bit more caution if/when he's investigating the forest again.]

It was no trouble at all. I was interested in exploring the forest as well, and it so happens our paths crossed.

If you decide to investigate the forest again, bring a companion with you, preferably your shinki. It will be safer to have someone keeping a lookout with you than to go on alone.
