Riza stretched a little and walked over to where Rob was asleep on the ground. She nudged him, not so gently, with her foot.
"C'mon. Your turn to take watch." |

"What, tough girl getting tired?" he quipped, but got up quickly enough, and looked out over the mostly black expanse of the nighttime world. It sounded like it stopped raining, though. _________________ Delicious tea, or deadly poison?

The night passed by slowly, once or twice, something moved in the shadows - animals, primarily. A fox slinked among the underbrush, an owl hooted from a tree. _________________ A path taken is paths forsaken.

Riza was asleep almost as soon as she curled up under her cloak. She was exhausted after the days events, and staying up half the night on watch. She need some rest and she was out cold. |

Rob pondered what to do from here. Maybe it was time to stop dallying around and actually get serious about doing that thing...
Or maybe he ought to forget that entire business and go somewhere warmer and less crazy. He was not exactly crazy about the area he was in at all, and he could pick up work as a merchant's bodyguard almost anywhere. _________________ Delicious tea, or deadly poison?

The sun soon rose, revealing a disheveled and very damp, cold wood. Except that something was off. Everything seemed greyer, duller, as though the colors had leeched out. More of the spirit lights appeared hovering uncertainly, but slowly steadily making their way northwest, as though being pulled by a giant magnet. _________________ A path taken is paths forsaken.

He nudged her with his foot.
"Time to go. Probably time to hightail it out of here entirely. My vote is go away from the eerie looking lights." _________________ Delicious tea, or deadly poison?

She slowly got up stretching. She felt better, at least. She looked over the washed out surroundings thoughtfully.
"I wonder where they're going" she though aloud. |

"Somewhere bad, I'm sure. Magic's like that. The more of it you find in one place, the more likely something catastrophically bad is going to happen. Doesn't matter whose got it either, men, gods, the world itself. It's all bad juju."
He shook his head solemnly. He did not want to deal with this. _________________ Delicious tea, or deadly poison?

"Didn't know you'd be scared of a little 'bad juju'."
She gathered her things and prepared to leave. |

"Spent most of my life around it. Wish I could find a place where I could get away from it. Besides," he added wryly. "Seems like you had a run in with it somewhere. Don't remember anything more now?" _________________ Delicious tea, or deadly poison?

She scowled.
"For all you know I took one to many blows to the head. It doesn't mean magic was involved." |

"Brain damage from physical implements tends to leave a little more visible evidence. You seem to work just fine, except for the fact that, oh, I don't know, you don't remember anything!"
He contemplated going back to sleep. Then decided against it and stepped out of the cave and started marching southeast. _________________ Delicious tea, or deadly poison?

Riza rolled her eyes and followed him with a sigh. At least he seemed to know where they were. Following him was better than being lost and alone |

The fact of the matter was he didn't know where they were, and was just going away from the lights.
