Callie was silent for a moment.
"No." She answered.
"I was just looking around." She added.
"You sleep ok?" She asked
"No." She answered.

"....." Adym was silent as well for a moment.
"...I slept." he said.
"I got enough to function and move on." he told her.
"That's all the matters." he reasoned.
"Anyway, let's not hang around here for TOO long." he continued.
"We still have plenty of ground to put behind us."

Callie nodded as Adym said what he did.
"Works for me." She said simply.
"Let's pack up and get a move on, then." There was something to her words, and as she brushed by him, heading back into the cavern to help pack everything else up, he was able to feel that there was something to her. He couldn't put a finger on it though. Although, it wasn't hard to guess that it was likely due to being in an unfamiliar world and the like.

Again, Adym felt guilty.
He... felt that she was panicking, even if subconsciously. Like there was a raging tempest of panic somewhere inside her, threatening to break loose.
And there was nothing he could do to help.
So, he helped her pack things up, and the little creatures left her quiver and exited the cave, runty one included.
"....all right." Adym mumbled.
"We have water and snacks at the ready. Guess we should get moving."

"There's a stream about ten minutes that way." Callie said as they stepped out of the cave and she motioned to the left.
"If that matters?" She asked.
"Like... if we need later."
"If that matters?" She asked.

"A stream?" Adym asked.
"That will be handy, yes." he told her.
"Water is always good." he went on.
"And the water in here is clear and delicious." he continued.
'...usually.' he then thought.
'I can't say for sure with this weird... darkness...' he went on, before shaking his head.
"Anyway." he said.
"Let's go." he told her, making his way to the left, where Callie had motioned to.

Callie nodded and walked with him, not entirely sure what it was that she was to expect here. She seemed... different though, most certainly quiet. There was something about her that wasn't ignorable, but it was also most likely not the largest issue for the moment.
Or at Least Adym hoped it wasn't, if nothing else.
"You have any sort of estimation for distance or time?" She asked as they were at the stream she'd found.
"I'm asking for sheer curiosity. Wondering how long til we get where we're going." She added after a few seconds as a means of clarification.

"No." Adym replied.
"Not for distance, anyway." he said.
"Time? Another week." he told her.
"The forest plays tricks, not even elves are immune to it." he went on, as they heard rushing water.
"We'll fill our water skins here." he said, as the river came into view.
"Maybe catch any fish in it."

Callie nodded.
"All right then." She said. "That makes sense to me." She added before pausing a moment.
"Well, let's get to work then." She said before approaching the stream and filling the skin he'd given her for this.
---
CAllie remained seemingly quiet and reserved for the entire time they were travelling through the trees. She didn't know what it was that she was supposed to expect, and for that matter, Adym didn't either.
The darkness that was in the forest was rather suffocating, or at least seemingly so.

Over the course of their travelling, Callie noticed Adym was acting strange.
He seemed to be more nervous.
He looked over his shoulders more.
And he always seemed like he was expecting something to jump out at him.
"...damn it." he finally growled.
"What is happening here?" he asked the air.
"Did that bastard's reach finally get here?"

'No idea." was Calli's answer.
"I wish I could help, but I know far less than you do." She commented.
". . . think we should stop for the night?" She asked after a moment or two. "I think I saw a small cabin in the distance that way." As she said that, she motioned toward the south.
[b]"And if I'm riht, we can see if there's anyone home? Or if there isn't, we can hang out there?"[b]

"...a cabin?" Adym asked.
He then paused for a moment, before his expression brightened.
"Yes!" he replied.
"Yes, we should!" he told her.
"If I remember rightly, that was built specifically for weary travellers." he said further.
"Serves as a bit of a signpost as well, shows you're going in the right direction." he explained.
"The fact that you saw it is a very good thing."

"Good to know. I saw it... ehhh about ten minutes back?" She asked, not entirely sure as to whehter that was right or not.
"I saw it in passing, and barely noticed it, but... I think it was there, at least?" She asked.
Sure enough, they found their way there. It took about a hour to traverse the uneven ground, but at least they were able to get to the cabin. It was super dark, almost too dark to breathe, but with some of Adym's biolumisecent mushrooms, they were able to illuminate enough within the room.
"Well, this is cozy. At least we have protection from the elements for the time we're here."

"Indeed." Adym replied.
"And there are proper beds and such in here." he continued.
"It's literally meant to give travellers in here a break from the elements." he went on.
"......" he was then silent, and looked around.
"Hm." he mumbled.
"That being said, I'm going to make sure the windows and such are properly secured." he told her.
"I have no idea how long it's been since someone stayed here, or even stepped INTO this place." he reasoned.

"Yeah, of course." Callie said.
"I'm going to check out one of the other rooms, see what all is there." She then said before sighing lightly.
"I don't know if there will be anything, but better to check." She said before heading through one of the doors, finding it empty. She just sat down on the bed that was in there end sighed lightly.
What the hell is to come next? She wondered, looking around.
... Because I think I realise that this isn't fake now... she addfed with another sigh.

After a few minutes, Adym found her.
"Place seems sturdy." he said.
"I think we'll be good here for the night." he told her.
He then paused, and looked around.
"Yeah, we should be good." he repeated.
'I hope.' he thought.
'What is this constant feeling of ominousness I have...?'

Callie nodded.
"Good to know." She said simply.
"At least we'll be safe. That's the important thing, really." She added. "Is it just hte one room, or is there another?" She asked, her voice curious. She hadn't checked, after all.
"I ask because there's only the one bed."

"Ah, there's another room." he told her.
"I'll use that one." he said.
"You can use this one." he added.
What he hadn't told her was that the other room was essentially a room where there wasn't anything, but he wasn't going to say that. Callie deserved to sleep in a bed, and he was more accustomed to using his leaves than she was.
So he would give her this amenity.
"Feel like eating or drinking?" he asked.
"I can make sure we have food and drink within a half-hour." he offered her, as they heard a howl in the distance, much like the one that they had heard when they first entered the forest.
It was still just as ominous... but seemed closer to them than the one from their first entering.
"I'll use that one." he said.
"You can use this one." he added.

"All right then." She said before pausing. She hadn't had a chance to answer regarding the food or drink, before hearing the howl.
"... and that really didn't sound friendly." She commented before sighing lightly.
"But yeah. I could eat."

"....no. No, it doesn't." Adym muttered.
"I... that... hm." he mumbled.
"It sounds vaguely familiar, but... something's off about it." he told her.
"Can't say WHAT, exactly, though..." he then admitted.
"Anyway, food and drink." he said.
"I'll make something up for us." he told her.
"In the meantime... try to ignore the howls. We'll be safe in here."
