Rozalia trudged along with the rest of the group, puling her hood further over her face in an attempt to keep out the cold. The Greybeards had been kind enough to give her a heavy travelling cloak for the cold, but it was stuffed into her knapsack at the moment. It wasn't unbearably cold yet, so she'd wait till then to add more warmth.
Listening in on the others, she glanced around once more. She would probably vote for Nikolaus... but would that be the wisest decision? Perhaps she should be voting for whoever she decided to travel with, once the group split up. Presuming that Nikolaus and his cousin would be going together, she looked over the remainder of the group. Valerion seemed to be looking to the Argonian for companionship; he'd already donated books to him, and voted for leadership. Now with those two, she would feel pretty safe with. Without a doubt they were warriors, and appeared to have no interest in more.. unsavory activities, as male adventurers often did when around females. But sh would have to wait and see - she assumed that right now, no-one ion the group would be particularly happy about her joining them. It was obvious that she wasn't the strongest, so her decision on this - and on voting for leadership - would have to wait until after Kynesgrove. She couldn't deny that was nervous about this, but she couldn't be showing it, not around these seasoned warriors.

Nikolaus nodded his head in gratitude towards Dreet-Na and Rawlith,acknowledging their votes for him. "I also agree - perhaps this should wait until after we've dealt with this dragon. It wouldn't be any good if our leader couldn't handle battle tactics now, would it?" He added with an easy-going smile at the group. 
As they continued on their way, he pondered over who he would vote for. Of the three females in the group, none of them seemed appropriate as candidates. Roze was far too young, Saasi hadn't said anything other than her abrupt introduction the previous night, and he doubted he'd even heard the Orc speak. Of the remainder, there were far more candidates, the three most likely being Rawlith, Dreet-Na, and Valerion (And himself, he added as an afterthought, but he wouldn't be voting for himself.). Valerion seemed a bit too cold and... arrogant, in a word, to be a decent leader of people. That left the Khajiit and the Argonian - in which that decision would be left till after the battle with this Kynesgrove dragon.

The group journeyed for countless hours, stopping only once at noon for a brief respite by the river, and they continued on their way. Camping just beyond Shroud Hearth Barrow late that night, they continued on in the morning.
A week passed, and the group were settling down for camp about a half-mile away from Darkwater Crossing, their various tents and bedrolls close to the warm pools of the rocky volcanic tundra situated in Eastmarch.
