Chapter 42: Back on the Road

In Which The Journey Continues.

 ———————————————————————————————

Yazeth: Jozra slips off several times, checking the area. At one point she ventures down to the road and checks up and down it with no sign of those that had been following them. An hour or so later she rouses Soquan.

Arrin Woodgreen: Soquan isn’t as quick to wake as last time. He mumbles something inaudibly and rolls over.

Yazeth: The ferret grins slightly before shaking the otter by the shoulder. “Time to move, Soq.”

Arrin Woodgreen: The otter grumbles as he rises to his feet. “Did you sleep too? You said you wanted to while we were walking.”

Yazeth: Jozra shakes her head. “I wanted to make sure they weren’t still looking for us.  The road looks safe to use now.”

Arrin Woodgreen: He nods. “We’ll take the road then.”

Yazeth: The ferret settles her pack on her shoulders again and leads the way out of the woods.

Arrin Woodgreen: He follows, munching on a bit of fish he had taken out of his pack.

Yazeth: Presently the two step onto the road. The ferret glances up and down the track but sees nothing out of the ordinary and so she leads the way further down the path.

Arrin Woodgreen: He follows with a yawn, falling in beside his friend.

Yazeth: Hours later, as the sun finally begins to set, the two are settled in a small clearing a little ways from the road. Jozra heaves a contented sigh as she brushes dinner crumbs from her whiskers.

Arrin Woodgreen: He grins at her from across the fire, polishing away the rest of his supper. “Ready to call it a night then Joz?”

Yazeth: The ferret nods as she stokes the fire.

Arrin Woodgreen: He yawns and stretches. “Want me to dig out someplace for us to sleep?”

Yazeth: Jozra grins sleepily. “Sounds good.”

Arrin Woodgreen: Soquan nods and proceeds to dig out a little hollow in the ground.

Yazeth: Jozra pulls the spare cloaks from the packs and dumps them in the hollow. “Figure we’ll need these. It’s a bit chilly tonight.”

Arrin Woodgreen: He nods. “I was just about to grab those.” He widens the hole a bit more then crawls inside the newly made ‘nest’.

Yazeth: She wraps up in her own cloak and curls up in the hollow.

Arrin Woodgreen: He nestles close, wrapping his arm around her middle. “Sweet dreams.”

Yazeth: The ferret grins wryly. “We can only hope.”

Arrin Woodgreen: He chuckles a bit. “Yeah.”

Yazeth: Jozra shuts her eyes and falls asleep sooner than usual.

Arrin Woodgreen: He stays awake a while longer, listening to the sounds of the night and Jozra’s even breathing.
