Richard had overseen the distribution of what little food they had before everyone settled in for the night. He tried to ease his mind by telling himself to pretend he was camping, but being in the dark and cold surrounded by strangers with the chance you may die at any moment somehow didn't feel like camping. The solid stone at his back did however ease his tension slightly. These thoughts were minor and short lived though. 

Despite knowing there was much more important things he could be dwelling on he still found his thoughts centered around Tess. He had noticed her sticking close, especially now that they had stopped for the night. What did it mean though? Was it because she wanted to be near him and wasn't so mad anymore? Or is it that he's simply warm and familiar? He didn't know. One thing he knew for certain was that she must be freezing in that outfit. Sure it was nice for the beach but a night in the woods? Not so much. Slowly he scooted a little closer to her.


After attending to the needs of the civilians and taking a brief rest Rin made her way towards Marcus. Her eyes had adjusted to the low light which made it easier for her to carefully make her way to him. Once she got there she sat down by him. "Everyone is settled in for the night." She mentioned quietly. She wished they could lay back and hold each other, but unfortunately they couldn't. The comfort of his embrace was something she found herself craving.
