Lee shivered, the sound of a wolf-like howl coming to his ears from somewhere deep in the woods, but such sounds were typical of the wilderness. The shinobi discarded the noise as natural and didn't think beyond that.

Flora's mention of a town had his attention first and foremost, and he moved along ahead of the group at a quick clip of a step. If anything was going to come at them from the front, he would be the first it would spot, and more likely give the others a chance to escape it necessary.

Lee exchanged a glance with the young warrior, then shifted his left shoulder, the good one, to express his confusion at Flora's words. He took a moment to glance over to the treeline, and for a moment he thought he glimpsed something, but no. With his chakra dampened he couldn't sense anything more than the faint rustling of the wind through branches. It was frustrating and daunting, but Lee couldn't let every little suspicion sidetrack him. They needed to keep moving. That was their priority here.
