[i]"Hm? It might be safer for us to stay out of the nearby villages and towns, even if for just one night. It may be the difference between a confrontation with the kings-guard and missing them entirely."[/i]

He looked further into the woods and saw a little area, naturally sheltered by a rock.

[i]"Come, there is a place just over there that I can see which should shelter us from any adverse weather."[/i]

As they walked, Azrael sparked up a conversation.

[i]"How are you doing? You have been through more in the last few days than I would imagine you have been through since you were born, heh."[/i]

They found the area to be very comfortable with none of the wind managing to affect the girl. Azrael sat her down against the largest rock.

[i]"Will you be okay for a few moments while I find some wood to make a fire? I think having a small fire will be okay as we're fairly sheltered here so the light will not attract any attention. If anything does happen just call out to me, I will hear you."[/i]

It wasn't long before Azrael returned with firewood, and two dead rabbits. It took almost no amount of time for Azrael to construct a fire and light it, he didn't usually bother with this kind of heat source when he travelled as Vampires weren't affected by the cold much, but with the girl noticeably cold, Azrael endeavoured to make her comfortable.

[i]"I hope you don't mind Rabbit. I was lucky to even find these two, but please, eat as much as you like when they are cooked."[/i]
