And the other half was with some mysterious stranger that made Oscar's hair stand on end. Worst of all, Katya was with them! The thought caused the usually jolly ranger to frown and knit his eyebrows tightly as he let out an exasperated and irritated breath while helping the others set up the tents and whatnot for the camp. This whole situation was practically gushing out bad vibes to the ranger. Like a spring-loaded trap just waiting for some unsuspecting schmuck to trigger it and blow up in their face. He should have done something earlier, but regrets only happen in the end. He couldn't do anything about it now. [color=orange]"Stupid. Stupid. Stupid."[/color] Oscar muttered to himself as the mist practically gave him zero visibility farther than five meters. This was the kind of environment where ambushes and surprise attacks would be perfect. He was sure of it; he would do the same if enemies camped in this kind of place after all. Oscar paced around the camp perimeter to collect both his thoughts and some sticks for kindling. While he collected sticks and his thoughts to rationalize an outcome where they don't get killed when they are most vulnerable by the stranger. An intrusive thought shot through his mind. A visceral image of their bodies scattered on snow stained crimson, each mangled beyond recognition and in the process of freezing solid. The mysterious figure standing before the gruesome scene, grinning ear to ear as it cackles demonically as it revels at the sight. All their efforts and hardships; all for nothing just cause they got caught when they least expected it. [b]THUNK![/b] The ranger slammed his balled fist onto a pine tree he was gathering at, a fierce hate ridden scowl replacing the frown on his face. ...that disappeared just as quickly as it appeared as a clump of snow fell atop his bare head. Apparently, the force from the sudden and powerful strike was enough to jostle the tree and cause what little snow that accumulated on the higher branches to fall down; as if nature herself was telling the ranger to cool his head before he made any brash decisions. Slowly but surely, the man calmed himself and reassured himself that things would be alright if they played it safe. As the icy cold waters of melted snow dripped from the top of his head to the bottom of his chin, the calm and jovial demeanor returned. Now more relaxed, Oscar approaches the horses and lets them have their well-deserved rest. As was feeding the horses the hay and letting them eat clumps of snow to rehydrate, the Knightess appeared suddenly from the mist. [color=orange]"Done already, Ettamri? Rather quick."[/color] He comments to her offhandedly as he piles the hay and snow for the horses to eat before trying to fulfill the large woman's request of a campfire.
