Caleb understood that Ambrose wanted to finish the mission and return to their lives, though things would never be the same after everything they'd been through.  Even if they managed to defeat the demon and set everything straight, there would always be the scar, most of which he caused, but a scar nonetheless of the events in the minds of everyone involved.  No, things would never be the same and he had come to accept this, but he only wished things could be different, he oddly wished for a start over with Ambrose, perhaps if he was more protective or more cautious he wouldn't be in the situation he was in now.  He sighed as he twirled the twig between his fingers watching Ambrose closely.  He had offered Ambrose the tent, he would've been fine watching over them, but when he turned his attention back to the fire, he heard Ambrose say something.  

Caleb stood up and dusted off his hands as he looked out into the darkness.  He closed his eyes and sighed.  There was danger all around them, this mission was dangerous.  He hoped Ambrose would listen if anything happened to him.  He hoped Ambrose would get out of dodge and return to his father to inform him.  Taking one last look at the sky, Caleb stepped into the tent and looked over at Ambrose who had snuggled down and looked comfortable.  

"Sleep well," Caleb said as he sat down Indian style and smiled at Ambrose.  "See you in the morning."

With those words, Caleb began to meditate and tap into the arcane energies that flowed through the universe.  Though his spirit was in turmoil, he knew what he had to do and as it got closer, as he realized that possibility of death, his mind became uneased.  Meditation helped ease him.

The sun rose over the horizon illuminating the entrance to the tent.  A few rays managed to sneak in and hit Caleb in the face.  He was still in his meditation posture, but he slowly opened his eyes and looked over at Ambrose.  He was still asleep, and Caleb didn't want to disturb him but they needed to get a move on finding the staff that the creature wanted, and thereby getting them closer to retrieving the blade they needed to banish the demon that plagued their school.  Caleb began packing his bag, one thing after the other, but he left a snack and a bottle of water for Ambrose.  Slowly he approached Ambrose and touched his shoulder softly.

"Hey," he said softly, "hey wake up babe," he added realizing what he said and removing his hand quickly before a blush formed.
