Sana smiled as she watched Hugh approach her from his place on the wagon, sitting up as he came near and pulling her knees to her chest, arms wrapping around them. Gazing up at him she couldn’t but be impressed by him. When they had met she had thought him an imposing figure but he had shown many times that he was pretty much just a kind heart, a big teddy bear. That was until he was crossed and then all that faded away and showed how deadly he could truly be. The wrath he could unleash never seemed to last long, always slipping back into that softness that was hidden under the surface. All of that combined with the horrors he had told her he had faced and what she had picked up from various conversations she had overheard between him and others just added to the respect that she had formed for him. That he could endure so much and still be kind beneath it all. She doubted he would ever do anything to hurt her or hide anything from her.

	Coming over to her and sitting down she perked a brow and then smirked as he pulled her from her spot and into his embrace. He seemed to move her effortlessly. Her arms draping over his shoulders as he did and sighing slightly as he pressed his forehead to hers; biting her bottom lip slightly as he held her tight and quivering lightly as she heard him say [i]mine[/i]. Letting her fingers dance over the back of his neck lightly she simply nodded and returned the sentiment. “Mine,” she whispered before letting her lips brush against his with a feathers touch. The urge to deepen the kiss was broken as she heard the sound of wing beats in the distance and she pulled back, turning her head in the direction of the sound. 

	Rising from her place in Hughs lap her eyes widened slightly to what she was seeing. “Ellis?” she muttered before looking around and taking note that the little one was gone. Groaning inwardly she walked over and read the note that he had left behind grimaced some. She hoped he was doing the right thing but she still had doubts. She did not know the Gods, she hadn’t trusted the Lich. Something pulled at her in the pit of her stomach that something wasn’t right. Was it Ellis or something more? She guessed she would just have to wait and see. Placing the note back down she hoped at least some of her concerns would be answered at the Oasis in three days. One thing in the note stood out to her. He had mentioned Ellyn and herself in the note individually but no one else was singled out.  Was there meaning behind that? 

	Shaking the thought out of her head she walked back over to Hugh and curled up in his lap, letting her legs drape over one of his thighs as she leaned against him; her head tucked under his chin as she began to explain what was in the letter. Her hand rested on his chest as she spoke, fingers finding their way under the collar of his top and brushing his skin.  “I guess we move out in the morning and head back to the Oasis,” she said before tilting her head back and looking up to him. “But that’s tomorrow, tonight we rest,” she said; her arm slinking up around his shoulder and pulling herself closer to him, kissing him softly as she let out a content sigh. 

	Leaning back she slipped from his lap, lying back down on the fur and running her fingers over his knee; small circles tracing it slowly as her free hand rested over her midsection. As much as she wanted a more intimate moment with him, they were still in the presence of others and they had not had a good rest in far too many days. She was not disappointed though, at least this evening she wouldn’t sleep sitting up in a wagon or alone on a bedroll, but next to him, in his arms she hoped; curled up against him.
