The louder noise had Trunks head turning too. Great--that sounded like trouble. A glance back at Nita, "Good to know." before he's sprinting in the direction of the roar of a crowd.

Definitely a crowd, as they came over and down the hill to a small farming house and barns, a soldier or two present among the farmers and workers. It wasn't clear yet just what had happened, but for a pair of laborers fighting while one of the ladies clung to one to try and stop the brawl. Another pair of women pulling at each others hair and clothing, fighting just as viciously, but over what it was not clear. As they came closer, one of the soldiers, who had been looking bored until that point suddenly yelled some kind of battle cry, and moved to attack his partner.

While it meant their quarry was likely still around, they'd have their hands full dispelling this chaos before they could start looking for him.
