Kurako stood when the others stood, the expression on his face unreadable and he reached up to tug at his hood just to ensure his face remained hidden in the shadow it cast. They already all knew his secret, but still it would be harder for them to read his expressions when they were cast in shadow, and easier for him to hide his expressions from them. His body was tense, and his lips pressed into a thin line. They had ignored him, but he shrugged it off, it didn't matter. He would find out soon enough, he supposed.
Patrin stepped closer to him, and Kurako's hand moved, the fingers twitching a bit as he started to reach out for the Unicorn. He stopped himself quickly, that hand changing course to merely lift and sit upon the pommel of his dagger, as if that had been his intention all along. There was an ache in his chest, one he wasn't quite sure where it came from, but his desire to protect Patrin had turned to pure need. His tongue flicked out to lick at his lips, moistening them a bit.
"We should find a suitable place to camp." Camping next to the water they'd found could seem reasonable, but Kurako knew better. Animals frequented watering holes, and even if there weren't any dangerous ones lurking beneath it's surface anymore, didn't mean dangerous ones didn't come to drink it. The half-elf gave Patrin a quick once over and issued a soft sigh.
That hand moved now, fingers very gently touching one of Patrin's ears, then that hand moved. As if to gently touch the Unicorn's horn. Kurako's gloved fingers didn't get close enough to touch that horn, he pulled his hand back, a little uncertain. Though his tone was very certain. "You should hide your appearance again, just in case we stumble upon adventurers or lost merchants." Both his hands were at his sides now and he turned, moving away.
Kurako moved to where his pack was and after readjusting the way things were situated in it, he closed it and picked it up. Slinging the strap over one shoulder. He was still on high alert, and his gaze often shifted to Leliana, he didn't trust her at all. With his pack now secure, he moved back to Patrin. "How's your foot?"
