Luka stood there for a while, looking at the girl. Technically, he could very easily leave her alone in the tree. But that doesn’t mean he should. Sighing loudly the boy walked over towards her at the second request and crouched down, lowering himself into the small burrow as well. The dirt was fairly warm, creating a fairly cosy space, so long as you didn’t mind the bugs and spiders that also called it home. It was small, so between the pair of them they’d warm the space up fairly quickly, meaning at least they wouldn’t freeze during the night.

That being said he still wasn’t overly happy about it. This burrow was nowhere near as comfortable or as large as his den. “I don’t see why you need me to stay with you.” He eventually said as he settled down, apparel getting ready to go to sleep. “I mean I don’t even know what you thought you were doing over here. Were you trying to get yourself eaten or something? Those things are unforgiving to intruders to their territory at the best of times… but it’s the middle of winter. I don’t know how well you people eat over there but these guys are hungry and you’re an easy meal.”

He shrugged again. “You should try and get some rest; it’ll be a very long night otherwise.” He wasn’t sure he’d be able to sleep himself; it’d be a very strange night for him as well. He couldn’t remember the last human he’d seen alive. There had been an odd increase of them crossing the wall recently, but he had only seen them in the morning… or what remained of them in the morning after the daemon’s had their fill. As it was he wasn’t sure what Cade wanted him to do. Was he just minding her until later when he came for her? Is that why he’d been sent after her?
