eyes in the dark

Rylee arched her brow at the man as he denied the food. He'd come to regret it, but she'd let him discover that on his own. She did not push the matter, instead she let his coney cool before wrapping it up and setting it aside.

Her eyes trailed after him, easily seeing him in the darkness as he moved away to sleep. Were he wise, he might have stayed closer to the fire, but she again was not keen to question. If he passed in his sleep due to cold, that would be his own fault. And one less burden upon her come sunrise.

The night was quiet, and Rylee cherished the feeling. The stillness offered a good opportunity to mediate. And in silence she sat for the hours as they passed. Nothing had come for them in the night. Nothing audible or nothing silent, attempting an ambush. She would have felt any darkspawn coming. But, thankfully, they were free of such things for a few blissful hours.

As the sun rose, Rylee didn't move much. She sat with one arm draped over her knee, red hair blowing across her face with the breeze. Movement caused one ear to twitch slightly, but she only barely cut her eyes over to see the shem was awake. Otherwise, though, Rylee did not bother to pay him mind.

Only when he specifically walked over to her she did peer up at him. I do not require as much sleep. Nor did she trust he'd be able to fully protect them from the darkspawn should they try to ambush. Nor did she desire the nightmares that came with an active archdemon.

The growl of his stomach was quite audible. Reaching over to her right, she retrieved the small bundle, then held it up for him. There was a look of smugness on her features though, as she glanced up at him to see if he'd take the offering.
