Not that you're crap is a compliment, and were he dealing with Another Paladin it may have been taken the wrong way entirely. As it were, Keith's here and hadn't taken offense to begin with. He was more invested on the entire statement.

Because he'd been feeling the same, of course.

"...Something like that. You're the first person I've seen in a while." Which doesn't explicitly explain his own situation, uh. "I feel like I've been walking through here for hours."

Which is exhausting. He's endured worse, but when you're walking on a real-life treadmill with no recollection of getting on, shit gets old in record timing. He'd like to expand a bit on that, talk about how the forest/animals tend to screw with people passing through, but he does not. He relents, climbs about a foot higher, pauses, sends a glance his way...

Then continues up. Keith's a weirdo.
