Just as Ian was letting up he heard a growl from right nearby, he took the dagger and meant to hold it up defensively but before he could Tahra shot up between him and the wolf, apparently recognizing it as an old companion of hers which she explained as such as he stood up.

"well princess, I did promise you a safe place and that did-" Ian was cut off by the Tahra placing her hand on his cheek and kissing him. That caught him off guard as he wasn't expecting to get one regardless, much less after that previous blunder. In surprise he'd put his hands on her hips and left them there until she pulled away, A dumb grin forming on his face as she walked back over the fire.

He slipped his mask back up over his face, partly to hide the grin, before returning to the fire himself, sitting down opposite from Tahra and her wolf. He noticed that she didn't seem intent on resting, even with her wound "you should rest, Tahra, at least this time I'm mostly sure we can make it through then night" He smirked behind his mask as he realized the wolf was wrestling with Logan "but I suppose I'll keep watch anyway" He stood back up, not letting her protest, and walked a short distance away to climb up to a low hanging tree and keep watch over the camp and some of the path back toward the city.
