"Good." It occurred to Liam that they hadn't seen the wolf in some time- not since their failed attack on the bandits. What had Ze'yer been up to since?
Of course, that was possibly the least of his questions. But he wasn't sure how to ask any of them, or even if he should . . . so he left it at that.

(( Leilani Sunblade: You got page 100! Woo!)) Vala nodded slowly, then rubbed her wrists. A confused look crossed her face, and she looked down at them. "The rash is gone..." Sam frowned. "Really? Mine's itchier than ever!" Vala shook her head, looking around the woods. "Do you think..." She trailed off.

((Ooh, coolness!))
Had Liam been snarkier, less tired and confused, or both, he might've responded, "Well, I am, so that means I do think as well," or something to that effect. As he was none of these things, he simply replied: "Anything is possible, Miss Vala. After that, I am not sure what to think."

"I feel the same." She looked down at her wrists again. Sam, meanwhile, let out a huff. "So now I'm stuck with this blasted rash..." He muttered, sitting down next to the fire. "Oh, lucky me."

"There's still the herbs and such that Caedmon gathered. They might help." Liam gestured towards the pile. "If you can figure out how to apply them, that is."

Sam grumbled again, and Vala sighed. "Alright, you big baby, I'll help you..." She knelt next to him, sifting through the pile of herbs. EDIT: (( Leilani Sunblade, NightBlade: Wanna just skip to the morning? As shifty the enchanter is, he was telling the truth and won't bother them for now.))

((Okee-dokie))
Sam was up at dawn, having been on watch. Yawning, he stretched and checked on his sister. She had chosen to sleep next to him, under a part of his cloak. She looked a lot like how he remembered their mother... He got up and added more wood to the dwindling fire, looking around the clearing. It seemed less scary in the sunlight.

Liam awoke early, as was his habit. He stretched and glanced around, then pushed himself to his feet and walked over to Sam. "Good morning."

"G'morning," Sam replied with another yawn, poking the fire. "Sleep alright?"

Liam nodded. "As well as can be expected. I take it nothing happened on your watch?"

Sam shook his head. "No creepy sister-stalkers or rogue bandits. We're in the clear for now."

"Good." Liam frowned out at the trees. "What do you think? Do we have a chance of evading last night's sorcerer if we try to set out as early as we can?"

"I am not sure," Sam replied, rubbing the pommel of his sword. "And Master Ze'yer said he was coming to meet us." Vala pushed herself up into a sitting position, brushing her hair out of her sleepy eyes. "We can't leave if he's coming here."

Liam nodded to Vala. "True- I had forgotten about that. Thank you for reminding me. Did you sleep well?"

Post by WookieeElf on Mar 14, 2016 1:36:19 GMT
Vala nodded, letting out a mix of a yawn and a groan as she stretched her arms. "Mhm...I did, thank you...I hope you did, too, after what happened..."

"Well enough." He'd been unable to sleep but lightly, concerned as he was . . . but he had slept all the same.

With a final rub of her eyes, Vala got up and wandered over to the horses. "I'll get breakfast started." "Yay," Sam piped up, smiling.

Caedmon, having taken some rest while the others were still awake, had spent most of the night sitting alert, or in a light but watchful doze. Come morning, he had set about gathering dry wood, which was increasingly scarce, to rekindle the fire's embers.

Having decided not to waste bread in the attempt to make toast, Vala was delighted upon finding that her grandmother had hidden a bag full of the sweet buns they had for breakfast the other day. It already feels like years ago... She thought as she placed a handful of the treats on a clean stone near the fire to warm them up.

A vaguely familiar and pleasant aroma caused Caedmon to pause and straighten from his scavengings, sniffing the air.

Liam turned to watch Vala, grinning as he, too, caught the delicious scent and recognized the buns. "Are those what I believe they are, Miss Vala?"

((I am giggling like crazy. Boys and their food.))
Vala grinned, looking up at Liam. "Yes, they are. But you'll have to wait until the rest of the meal is ready. I can't have you all stuffing yourselves with sweets—especially you!" She whacked Sam's hand as he snuck behind her to grab a bun. Shaking his stinging fingers, he backed off with a pout.

( xD hey. Food is important. Iz how we get de bigs and buffs xP )
Caedmon, meanwhile, had traced his suspicions back to camp and came to hover over Vala's shoulder...attempting to be inobtrusive, as not to lose his chance, but failing due to his great height and girth.

((I know. My brother is 4, and he eats enough for three people))
"Good morning!" Vala said cheerfully, glancing over her shoulder to smile at Caedmon. Usually, the feeling of someone behind her would make her tense up. But, with Caedmon, Liam and the others, she felt safer than usual.

"Ach, gu'marning." Caedmon returned the greeting, depositing the wood near the fire and then depositing himself behind Vala.

Vala dropped a handful of fruit into Sam's lap. "There was a stream nearby. Go wash these." Grumbling, Sam obeyed as his sister started to heat up the remaining food from last night's dinner. "Need anything?" She asked the others.

Liam shook his head. "Not at the moment- is there anything I can do to help?"

"Just make sure the meat doesn't burn, please." Sam came back, sleeves damp and full of wet fruit. Vala carefully took them, then sat down next to the fire, watching the sweet buns and using her knife to carefully remove any bruises and slice up the fruit.

Liam nodded and moved closer to the fire so he could keep an eye on it as she'd said.
