Battle In the Night

"No, I mean how'd you get him to open up like that?" Tolkalee gestured to Seth.

"That's incredible," Tolkalee said. "He didn't open up to me like that for two years, and we are practically brothers. We've known each other for our entire lives, and he only opened up to me, after he trusted me fully. That means he must trust you, a lot."

"Yeah, and if you have his trust, then you have my trust," he stood up and began walking away. Glaning back once. "Welcome to the freedom fight."

Tolkalee walked over to the window and stationed himself to keep watch. In case they would have to get out sooner then expected.

(We could do that yeah)

Light began filtering into the house through a window. Seth had taken over watch in the middle of the night. So he was at the window. Seeing the sun rise over the mountains was beautiful. It was one of the best things to look forward to. It was at that peaceful point of day where no one was up yet but you never felt alone. With a sigh Seth stood up and called for everyone to wake up.

Tolkalee came out already packed and ready to leave. "Hey kids, we ready to go?" Seth rolled his eyes at Tolkalee's comment.
"We have three hours still before we have to leave," he retorted playfully. "And even after that we still would have fifteen minutes to escape before they caught up."

Tolkalee noticed her wince. "I have to change that bandage anyway," he said letting his backpack down by the door. "Hey, dude can you grab my uh…"
Seth grabbed a roll of cloth Tolkalee used for bandages and tossed it over his shoulder. "Left side," he called. Tolkalee caught it with no trouble.
"Thank you," he said walking over to Kat.

"That could be a good thing…" Tolkalee crouched next her examining it. "Or it could be a bad thing." He began unwrapping the wound and replacing the bandages. An odd look on his face.

He glanced at her. "I think it's safe to say that it's not the ladder of the two. It seems to be healing nicely. We just have to give it a day or two to really see if it's improving," he decided after a moment. Seth walked in with two plates of some toasted bread and two glasses of water.
"Breakfast is going to be small today, I don't have to many supplies up here," he explained handing them each a plate.

Tolkalee finished re-wrapping her leg and stood up with his plate taking a few bite of his food.

Seth was by the door reading a book, he glanced up. "Yeah, I think so," he sighed. "Yo Tolk grab me my horn would you." From the door way of another room an object flew through the air. Seth caught it with out looking up from his book. "Thanks."
Tolkalee walked out and pulled his back pack on. "Alright let's go."

Tolkalee went out first clearing a path for them in the four feet of snow that had accumulated over night, literally. Seth waited for Kat to go so he could take the rear. Not because he didn't trust her, or because he thought she couldn't handle herself. But because she was injured and he wanted to make sure not to over work her, or let her fall behind.

Seth followed slowly, closing the cabin door. Then he shifted his backpack to fit right and followed after them. Likely, the next time they came out here, this cabin would be nothing but rubble. He looked back hoping the two girls would be okay.

"Yeah," Seth answered still looking at the cabin. Then he turned and began walking with them towards the forest below. "I'm fine."
