Some of us truly are just trying to walk here when it happens, the world becoming enclosed by trees that reach too high, the skies unsure of what darkened, uncomfortable hue to take. Gorgug's reached for one of his own weapons, just for the discomfort that it wraps around his shoulders, a familiarity to this setting that blinks in and out of his vision, but lingers even when he doesn't think he sees it.
(Silver trees, bogs filled with blood. There's no safety, nothing comforting.)
It might be the best call, for him to have a weapon in hand, a large axe only meant for slicing through opponents, too big to be necessary for anything else. But the reason it might not be a great call, too, is the reaction of the one wielding it when a figure emerges from the trees--unheard until their appearance, and not even Rin heard true footsteps coming upon her (except, that is, the footsteps the forest wanted her to hear; the sense of danger creeping up her spine).
"A-ah!"
Gorgug's reaction, though she isn't anywhere near to him, is to pull back the axe like he might be readying to attack her--except he looks far more spooked and startled and stuck in headlights to do any of that.

P-please don't knife him. (Or do.)
