I might be a bit delayed in my next response.
I'll edit something on to my last post tomorrow morning, if Konan doesn't respond.
"I'm not sure, but I don't think we need to worry about it tonight." Swims responded. "My waterskin should have enough for tonight. If it takes too long for us to find a river tomorrow, we can head west. For now, I just feel like resting. All that walking just takes so much out of me. We can just sit here and talk, not worry about anything."

Swims sat down by the fire and let out a sigh. He lethargically began to undo the straps on his armor so he could remove it and change into his other clothes. "You know, I told you before that I'd like to visit Black Marsh. Is there anywhere in Tamriel you would like to see? Like Skyrim, the home of your father's people, the Nords?"

Hey I failed to see that this rp already had two people so sorry to have been a burden.


I know, I was speaking to Luna with that one.
Sam nodded in understanding, taking in deep breaths. "I know, it's just..it's a frightening prospect is all. We should just get some rest. I think we both need it." Sam stood up off the floor and cleaned himself off a bit before leaving the bathroom. He was sore from the transformation and overall exhausted. He did not bother getting dressed and instead just walked over and sat on Stevie's bed. After all they had been through, he just wanted to hold her in his arms, to relax and know that everything was going to be okay.
I think I am going to have them get attacked by the bandits before reaching Blankenmarsh, if that's alright. They can get saved by the Legion.
Swims also looked around the area while Veria went out to hunt. His sense of smell was better than that of a Human, but even so, he had no luck. He thought he caught the scent of a rabbit somewhere nearby, but the scent went in two directions and he had no idea which way to go. He returned to their camp shortly before Veria. At least she had managed to find something to eat, though it wasn't much. Swims preferred meat to plants, but he wasn't about to complain. Any food would be good by this point. He used his dagger to divide their last apple in half, then ate it along with his share of the plants that Veria found.

"We can share my waterskin for tonight." Swims said, taking a drink before offering it to her. "I'm not really that concerned about water. There are rivers and lakes everywhere in the Blackwood Forest. Even if there aren't any in the immediate area, we are bound to find one as we travel. And if we really need it, we can always start heading west until we hit the Niben river. It is a bit of a detour, but it would work. Our situation with food isn't...ideal, but it's not like we are going to starve to death in two days. We'll just need to keep an eye out when we're on the road."
Sam took Stevie's hand and looked at it for a few moments before reaching over to his other side and turning off the shower. There was so much going through his mind, so much he had to worry about, but at least he didn't have to fear Stevie being hurt, or angry. He wrapped both of his arms around her and buried his face in her shoulder. He could not help but to cry, nor was he ashamed about it. No one should have to go through what they were going through. He needed her support just as much as she needed his. "We need to find some way to control this, Stevie. Just...losing control of my body like that is..terrifying. What if next time we end up killing someone? I'm, just...I'm afraid."
"Well, I think it depends on how valuable our find is. I think your plan is a good one. Buying some new equipment would help us get even more treasures. Still, if we find something really valuable, then, well, I'll have to think about it a bit more." Swims responded, smiling lightly at Veria. There was something about looking at her he enjoyed, something that seemed...nice. This was always what made him feel like there could be something more between them, but, just like always, it made him afraid. He was Argonian, and she was Human. He wasn't supposed to find her beautiful...was he? He quickly tried to shake off the thoughts and stood to his feet after he finished his meal. "Well, at any rate, we should probably get moving." He said as he started to pack up his things. After a few minutes, they were all packed and ready to go.

Over the course of the next few days, the pair made progress, but not as much as they would have liked. They continually fell short of their expectations for how far they would make it in a day, and Swims worried that it was all his fault. While walking in his armor, he just could not keep up with Veria. He was constantly tired, and even though me made a little more progress each day than the last, it was still not enough. They tried spacing out their food as much as possible, but they were still at least two days short of Blankenmarsh by the time they were out of food.

The sun had not yet set, but the pair had already set up camp and got a fire going. Swims body was aching, and he was hungry. Going through his bag, however, all he could find was an apple. A single apple. There was not one other edible thing left between them. Swims sat down beside his bag and groaned. "Well, this is all we have left, and there are still at least two more days to go before we get to Blankenmarsh. We are going to have to hunt for something, we have no real other choice." Swims commented.
Swims chuckled. "It will really be fun once we're carrying a load of riches back from the ruin, but yeah. This isn't over yet, it will only be a minor setback." He tossed Veria her orange, then started to peel his own with his claws. Honestly, the rat meat didn't look too appetizing, but with a good chunk of their supplies gone, he wasn't about to let it go to waste."

Grabbing his waterskin, Swims started on his breakfast. It was hardly some great feast, but something about it made him feel good. The fact that Veria had killed the rat herself made it feel like they were living off the land like true adventurers. While they were eating, Swims decided to strike up more casual conversation. "So, once we get the treasures out of the ruin and sell them, what are you going to buy with your gold?"
