Eliza bent low, her eyes shifting around her warily as she watched the campsite with predatory intent. She whispered to Phineas after a few minutes when she found the area clear,"We have to determine how close they are to our campsite before one of us tries to get the oil."

She looked around before her eyes settled on a large tree with a sharp prickly bark. She bit her lip then looked over to Phiny with a cheeky smile,"It might be better to tell our location and the position of the soldiers if we can get a different perspective. How are you at climbing?"

She clenched her fists over some small stones, hoping that he would volunteer. She was still sore from the waist down, and knew climbing would only irritate her more.
