She was slightly taken aback by what Keystone said, as if she was a dolt or unused to being in the wilderness and would have just chosen the first place she had come across to have them settle down at. Scoffing slightly, she had to contain her eye roll and clear her throat before she spoke, Ash taking a seat on his hind-quarters next to his ranger friend. [color=a187be]"And this is as good as you are going to get for twenty clicks at least around these parts. The forest canopy is much thicker here than anywhere else. The wood has been collected. The area cleared out, and for a circular pattern for miles ahead has already been scouted out for any that are part of the Orc encampment,"[/color] Kyra stated flatly. She nearly asked him if he had any experience in the forests before but she held her tongue; though the look on the face clearly gave away that she was at least mildly offended already by the man and not happy in the slightest. [color=a187be]"Rain will be here by the mid of night but it won't get worrisome until well past dawn. As far as food goes, I have my own,"[/color] the Ranger quipped as she wandered away from Keystone, making her way over to Lob and Sona. [color=a187be]"Thank you for keeping them safe Lob,"[/color] Kyra said kindly with a warm smile playing on her lips. Ash stuck over there by Keystone, eying the man slightly and giving a slight half sneeze half growl towards the man. Krya then excused herself, nodding towards Seph and Sundos as she stepped over to a tree. [color=a187be]"Middle of a war zone and you are making fragrant dishes, what a way to ring the dinner bell for every orc within three days journey from our camp,"[/color] she comments before making her way up into a tree and resting herself down against the trunk as her legs crossed out in front of her. Ash just sat there, still eying the man but making it clear he wanted to root his nose around in anything the brute was cooking up. Didn't matter that the dire wolf had already eaten several rabbits that day while scouting with Kyra. Granted that all changed when Ash caught a new scent on the wind and his ears turned towards the road, Kyra perking a brow at the sudden change in her wolves actions. Drawing her bow, she knocked an arrow into place and stood up. [color=a187be]"Ash, Lob, flank left and right, stay down until we know what is approaching,"[/color] she said as she hopped down. The last thing she wanted to do was deal with am ambush at this hour but that was life on the road. Stepping slowly back the way they had come from the road. [color=a187be]"Keystone, guard the food. Rest of you protect the wagon and Cremwise, best not get us all to divided up right now,"[/color] was the last thing she said before she was out of sight and making her way now quickly back towards the road. She wasn't trying to hide that she was there, in fact stepping rather heavily so she would be heard. If they were friendly, it wouldn't matter. If they were not then at least they would be looking at her and not be as quick to notice Ash and Lob coming in from either side. They might have been larger lugs but both knew how to move more quietly through the forest than she ever would and she could be as silent as a whisper when she wanted to be.
