The pair walked through much of the day, enjoying the silence and the forest around them. Traveling with Nick wasn't so bad when he didn't say anything. Cain decided that after an hour passed. As they continued ticking by, he almost found himself enjoying the journey and the fact that another walked beside him. Somehow it felt familiar and just at ease. They settled into this kind of pace that felt honed and already sure. It didn't make sense, but Cain still hadn't figured it out by the time he noted the darkening in the tops of the trees. Having only stopped once for food and water, resting their legs for thirty minutes, he knew it was time to stop soon for camp.

Clearing his throat, he broke the silence for the first time since they set out. "We should start searching for a good spot to set up camp. Either by a waterbed or if we can find a cave," he murmured. Looking up at the trees again, he heard the slight shifting of sounds that signaled the shift of day creatures to night. Dark would fall soon. "One of us can set up for the night and the other can gather food."
