Xander made his way around the camp after leaving the former Commander Terrell's tent, mostly because he was completely lost in the camp and didn't want to let anyone know. He eventually found a pair of guards chatting as they walked through the rows of tents being packed for travel, and upon following them found that they were heading for the mess tent themselves. [color=007236][i]Success![/i][/color] He licked his lips as the mess tent came into view, only to feel slightly foolish that he hadn't found it earlier. [color=007236][i]Of course the mess tent would be the only tent that wasn't being disassembled.[/i][/color] As he neared the tent a steady stream of white smoke from the cook fires only proved how foolish he was with navigating. [color=007236][i]Not to mention the smoke from the cook fires. I've really got to pay attention to the old man's lessons on navigating.[/i][/color]

A woman's voice pulled him out of his thoughts. [color=6ecff6]"Well, if it isn't the knight in shining armor himself. I do say, I like the way you do things."[/color] Having no idea what she may have been speaking of or what she may have heard about him he simply smiled back at her as she chuckled at him.

[color=007236]"Well, I just try and be who my mother raised me to be."[/color] He said as he watched the wolf with Derae move into the mess tent only to be received with a clamor from the cooks, which made Xander stifle a laugh. It was a good that Levi was escorting the two as he interceded on behalf of the wolf before entering into the tent himself for breakfast.

[color=6ecff6]"You getting some breakfast too?"[/color] Once again his attention was pulled to Derae and he finally took notice that her hair had been shaped up from the hack job that Terrell had performed. [color=007236][i]I'm certain she is still angry about losing her long hair, but she does looking quite well with short hair too. And did I really just think that about a prisoner? I have gone crazy after being lost in those damn woods![/i][/color]

[color=007236]"Well, I promised my horse an apple,"[/color] He could hear his stomach growl and feared that anyone around could hear it as well. [color=007236]"But since I've been thriving off of jerky and whatever I could get my hands on in the woods I would certainly enjoy something for breakfast."[/color] He stepped to the flap of the mess tent and held it open as he looked back at her and smiled. [color=007236]"If you'd care to join me, you can tell me more about how great I am."[/color] He joked. [color=007236]"And again, I'm sorry about what happened last night."[/color] He looked inside the tent for a brief moment before looking back at her. [color=007236]"I assure you he has been punished, although not severely enough for my taste."[/color]
